Does anyone have a mirror? I’m in authoritarian UK so the link is blocked

The rimigo proxy works for me: https://rimgo.vern.cc/a/nFQN5tx

The link is blocked by imgur themselves, not the British government (authoritarian or otherwise), because the ICO was going to fine them for historic poor handling of children's data. https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs...

What does that even entail? Why does a site like Imgur even need to know which users are children?

Didn't it have user accounts and comments?

It had user accounts and it hosts prodigious amounts of porn, so it ran afoul of the part of the law that says that if you have user accounts and host user-generated content of any sort you have to make sure you're not showing porn to children.

It's annoying, but Imgur really do need to get a handle on things because that's where people host all the CSAM they post into Matrix channels.


If you're in the UK in January, you can probably just look outside and that's approximately it.

I wish the UK looked this good.

Have you been to the Barbican?

Here you go. I had it uploaded after hearing from the magospietato's comment but then saw you talk about the same so I am pasting the same image link here as well

I read a Reddit comment on the thread for this where they suggested this was only made because of the old "windev vs devdiv" rivalry.

You’re probably right. Seems these appear every couple of years with much hype and then the business behind them conveniently goes out of business.

I learned my lesson with this niche market after CHIP: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Exploring-the...

These clowns didn’t even tell anyone they went out of business, it took someone going to their listed address in person who found the office had been completely gutted to get ready for the next tenant.


I totally agree with this and with the comment above yours in regards to predictability. I don't understand this manufactured FUD the linked article or the low code spreadsheet product in another comment are creating here. It is literally the perfect match.

Realistically it's because a good chunk of their work is outsourced abroad who then in turn outsource their thinking to ChatGPT.

I've had one good manager and I concur. As valuable as gold.

Not to be confused with Turborepo.

It was founded in 1808. Not exactly sure how they was supposed to know.


It was incorporated in 1866. And do you think people in 1866 were stupid? Do you think there weren't plenty of examples of towns stood up around resource extraction which failed prior to that? Centralia had the benefit of tons of Gold Rush towns dying out before they were incorporated they had the opportunities to learn from.

The one about Spotlight not searching for files, I assume that's like Windows Explorer, which also famously has a terrible search.

Why do these large companies reliably struggle with file search but third party software does it instantaneously, including reading the NTFS partition table for speed?


Not necessarily, there are 8051 soft cores you can get for your FPGA/ASIC.
