The #mayor of #london #sadiqkhan has *no right* to #comment on #politics , especially not #politics that affect all of the #uk https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mayo.. #online #freedomofspeech is so far outside of his domain it's insane. Whilst he's speaking of #harm though, how about that rising #crime in #london ?
Interesting, apparently the #queen of #england was involved in a #coup in #australia in 1975: https://declassifiedaus.org/2022/11/11/t.. As one #hackernews #comment suggests, her #involvement is rather overstated in the #article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=335..
Interesting, it looks like #kiwifarms are looking for a new #server #host https://lowendbox.com/blog/do-you-want-t.. They appear to be #blacklisted by pretty much *everybody* on the #internet , which I believe is somewhat unfair as long as they are law abiding. Funny #comment on the #article by somebody called "Fascist Killer", because if this person believes #kiwifarms is made of #fascists , then this is a #death #threat , something #kiwifarms are accused of...
It's amazing to me that #compilers don't (or can't) #optimize for #duplicate #strings https://lemire.me/blog/2022/09/23/optimi.. There is some interesting work in this space on #superstrings that do #compress . There's an interesting #comment here about how this might be turned on in #gcc using #lld https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=329..
This is a very cool #mechanical #colour #picker https://hackaday.com/2022/09/21/mechanic.. As one #comment said there, add a #colour #sensor and this would be exceptionally cool.

#article #complaining about how #heavy #websites are during these days: https://www.cynicusrex.com/file/web4.htm.. I quite liked my #hackernews #comment on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=293.. The way forwards is to bring #advertising #support into the #browser in a controlled and measured way.
God this thing is fucking dangerous: https://www.animarobotics.life/store/p/t.. A #robot #humanoid #teddy without even a #demo of the thing working! I made a great #hackernews #comment on just *some* of the #issues they will face with this thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=292..
Awesome #explanation of how #epic a #cpu really is: https://blog.robertelder.org/how-to-make.. I really love the #hackernews #comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=291.. 'If you ever code something that "feels like a #hack but it works," just remember that a CPU is literally a #rock that we tricked into #thinking .'
Even this #apple #website is highly #politicised on this #kylerittenhouse #active #case https://9to5mac.com/2021/11/11/rittenhou.. Worth reading this #hackernews #comment to see how the #framing in this #article is insane: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=291..
#wikipedia causing people #trouble because it's #inaccurate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:.. This #hackernews #comment sums up pretty well about it's #benefits and #pitfalls https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=291.. Now imagine how #accurate the #political stuff is... Not very.
This #hackernews #comment is an excellent #idea for #pranking somebody who doesn't #lock their #linux #computer https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=290.. Amazing.
Hahaha, this #article is suggesting that #pussypedia is a great and #necessary new #encyclopedia #service https://www.freethink.com/health/pussype.. But then I checked this #dead #hackernews #comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=289.. Turns out that a " #pussy " is defined as, among other things, a #bladder , #rectum , #anus and #testes https://www.pussypedia.net/pussy-definit.. Off to a very bad start.
Looks like the #uk are going to be putting #nuclear #power first for #zero #emissions https://www.ft.com/content/e6426194-21e6.. As a #hackernews #comment points out, after #brexit nobody is left in the #eu to push back against #germany and their internal hatred of #nuclear #power https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=288..
As one #hackernews #comment #suggests - this #browser seems like a #scam https://www.waterfox.net/
