Isn't that like a short holiday?

This seems to be mostly about the T in LGBT which has become such a toxic political football the politicians are running away and deferring to anyone else to avoid enacting policy themselves.

The supreme court judgement is only an interpretation of existing law, anything can be overturned with new legislation. Instead they sat back and let the EHCR commission issue unworkable guidance on who can use what loos.

I know the Cass review was controversial but it called for puberty blockers too be issued as part of medical trials with appropriate long term follow up. Somehow we got from that to indefinite bans of their use.

Meanwhile the widening gulf between the louder parts of the two sides of the debate have left a large chunk of the population fearful of even engaging in the discourse lest they be accused of wrong-think.

The whole thing is a mess.

What do the inputs and configuration drop down menus say?

So back in the days of the Atari ST we had compact disks (sic).

Most games shipped on a single floppy disk (so 720k or 1.4Mb) and rarely used compression given the base system only has 512k of RAM. The crackers would strip the protection, repack the data and patch the loading routines to handle that. Depending on the games they could fit 3 or 4 games on a single disk.

Nowadays the dynamics are different - games on consoles do use compression but they have to favour speed because they are streaming assets just in time. The PS5 even had dedicated decompression hardware to keep up with the data rate on it's fast SSD.

Why would you? Effectively you are storing the address of the address at the address. It would get more complicated if there where post/pre increments or index offsets involved.

I thought CoPilot was just a rebagged ChatGPT anyway?

It's a silly experiment anyway, there are very good AI chess grandmasters but they were actually trained to play chess, not predict the next word in a text.

I remember the old ADSL modems where effectively winmodems. I had to keep a Windows ME machine as my household router until the point the community had reversed engineered them enough to get them working on Linux.

At least they where usb based rather than some random card. I think the whole driver could work in user space.

Seems fair enough, these things cost money and the #BBC is in a race to diversify it's income in preparation for the license fee going away. The dynamic description sounds like they want to preserve the casual visitors experience of an open site.

I get ads on my BBC podcasts when I'm abroad. I assume that's all part of it.

Not a Vorlon?

My eldest understands the need for good diet and exercise. They exercise at home doing various aerobic exercises and crunches to keep in shape. They hate sports at school and there doesn't seem to be any effort to find the a sport they might enjoy or even just focus on improving their personal exercise regime.

I get teaching time is limited but the impression I get is the kids that want to be in the school teams get the most out of sport and the rest just go through the motions because it's a compulsory subject.

You don't think having a full genome and medical history of everyone who'd been in contact with the NHS would be useful to researchers?

One of the things we did during the pandemic was significantly scale up or ability to sequence genomes. We were literally watching the virus evolve near real-time because a large chunk of samples could be sequenced and processed.

While they're are obviously data privacy concerns, for which the UK has a fairly long history of legislating for, having a full sequence for every newborn could allow for all sorts of cheaper early interventions. I'm sure the dataset would also be very useful for researchers as well.
