It does seem a bit odd to announce a policy like this when everyone expects he'll be out of a job soon.
Almost like he's thinking "I can announce this without having to take the blame for being unable to implement it"...

It's Pride Month, so here's some WOKE ribbon cable. ;)

Interestingly it seems that the printing company has taken responsibility for the omission.

Normally printing firms will ask their customers to approve a final proof before they do any actual printing.
If they have a record of this then I wonder if they might have a case for defamation or something?

Were these talks recorded? I'd love to watch some of them (and I'm sure I'm not the only one).

It looks like @npub1sv0…rq9x changed something, and now I can update my DNS in seconds rather than hours. Nice one :)

It's a market that shows strong annual growth - mostly during late spring and early summer - and in addition to the classic put and call options, the stick market offers a fetch option, too!

... and with 7 (or 8?) of those being Big Tech firms, it does seem quite possible that a downturn could hit most of them at the same time.
(I'd guess that Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan Chase are a bit more diversified, but to be honest I'm not sure of that at all.)

A "former magistrate", a "Catholic priest", a "former British army colonel and ex-military attache", a "retired company director" ... clearly wrong 'uns, the lot of 'em.
Good on these "old fogies", I say.

Perhaps his real opponents are the media interests who will pillory him if he doesn't swing to the right?
I'd love to know what's been said to him behind the scenes ... perhaps along the lines of "if you sound like Corbyn, you'll die like him"...

Or that they're talking to each other & sharing ideas.

The next logical step is to insist that the Border Force needs to be profitable.
Perhaps we should have cafés and visitor centres at every entrance and exit to/from the UK. If everyone buys overpriced cups of tea and cheaply made Brexit T-shirts, we'll soon see the revenue growth that the nation craves!

You could try to proxy the token request too.
They get redirected back to Auth0, which then contacts an internal token endpoint in your code.
Then your code forwards the token request to the original server - it knows which server to ask, in the same way it knew which server to redirect the browser to.

Maybe the small print should say that they automatically get upgraded to the "More Money Than Sense" tier after the first month.

Perhaps this calls for the introduction of a "slim and nubile tax"?

No mention of newly built properties being snapped up by investors ... I don't know how common this is nationwide, but it certainly happens here.
Sometimes people suggest rules about who should be allowed to buy new builds, but perhaps we'd see less of this if houses and flats weren't so ridiculously overpriced.

You can also handle them by just crashing, and then telling users they were holding it wrong.

Describing it as "intact" seems ... kinda specific.

There is also that reference to "proper" accommodation (emphasis mine)...

2024-09-23 20:55:22 UTC

I note the reference to "homeless encampments" ... but without any context.
Is "encampment" even a well defined term in this context?
Or is it just meant to alarm us and put us on the defensive?
(Where by "us" I mean "non-homeless folks", obviously.)

I hope nobody asks you to resend it in Word format. ;)

Mine would be quite a bit longer than the 2 page generally recommended maximum if I didn't trim it down. I do this trimming separately for each application - and I don't apply for jobs often enough for this to take a lot of time.

My office chair is on its last legs, and also the opening lines of your post are among the best I've ever seen, so I'd like to thank you for posting this review. ;)

I noticed this too. From here it looks like ns1.google.com just failed. It's back up now, though.

It looks like this would require people to download and install the Kiwix reader to be able to see the site.
I'd prefer something online - ideally I'd be able to set up a system of redirects on the original domain name, so that any links to the site remain unbroken, and readers get sent to the archived version automatically without having to do anything at their end.

None of the above - I hacked into Gargron's computer and stole all the source code.

2024-08-12 11:34:24 UTC

I'm aware of https://archive.org/ and https://archive.is/ which can archive individual web pages, but does anyone know if there's a free way to archive an entire site?
I found https://www.archive-it.org/ but this looks like a paid service. I'd prefer not to spend money on this - though I might stretch to a one-off payment if that's the only option.
