Why would you subject yourself to Gnome voluntarily????

I use Arch btw

Rates are not going back to sub-2% for a long time

I disagree quite strongly.

Economies limping along at ~1% GDP growth per year and little or no GDP per capita growth can't handle larger base rates for long. It's a self-correcting cycle - if base rates remain elevated for too long discretionary spending will collapse and many, many businesses/loans/credit with it.

Rishi promised to half inflation not because he's a financial genius with a secret trick, but because he knows two things: 1) what I said above, 2) inflation is often given as a YoY measure, so by December 2023 we're measuring inflation above the 10% inflation of December last year, and the country can't afford 10% inflation per year for long either.

Dear god, he can’t possibly be actually that dense

Nah he's not. They're not allowed to do anything but toe the party line if they want election support/funding, ministerial roles, post-MP consulting jobs etc, so they say stupid things a lot and pretend they mean it.

It is proposing a new licence condition to “ensure electricity generators don’t take advantage of existing rules to make excessive profits”

Why? If you want an energy market you shouldn't be surprised when it does what it can to grow profits, including withholding supply to sell later at higher prices.

This is typical of the past 10-15 years. Plasters on gaping wounds. Energy providers should be competing to sell us their energy generation capabilities. Competition drives down prices in the long run, not intervention. Of course, the lack of an energy strategy or any investment into one for a decade does leave us a bit... well, fucked.

I also try to dissuade people from thinking their two options are two sides of the same coin by... checks notes... doing the same as the other side.

Rustlings is genuinely god-tier for learning Rust.

It's already started.

You misunderstand. Consultants don't want to be experts in anything. Becoming an expert takes a lot of time and experience, which naturally limits the number of things you can be an expert in.

No, consultants just want to say they're experts in things. No time/experience needed, just a plucky consultant and a keyboard.

With that in mind, Accenture are experts at SAP and AI now.

There's definitely more nodes than listed there, and definitely users at those nodes.

The least useful of the three feeds

Haven't they said this is it for CP2077? One expansion, load of upgrades, and nothing else is planned.
