Mmm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results

Con + Reform was 38% of vote. Lab + Lib + Green + SNP + Plaid was 54.5% of the vote.

The country pretty much always is progressive. It’s just the progressive vote is more split.

If we didn’t have FPTP it would all be so different.

Only 6% of population is muslim.

This is just feeding a dangerously crazy rightwing meme. Stupid irresponsible woman.

Confirmed. No boom : https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/uk-population/

Pretty sure there are professional right wing trolls flooding and popular social media. MAGA backed, Russian backed, etc

Amazon? They probably want Waterstone to.

As a programmer who grew up without a FPU (Archimedes/Acorn), I have never liked float. But I thought this war had been lost a long time ago. Floats are everywhere. I’ve not done graphics for a bit, but I never saw a graphics card that took any form of fixed point. All geometry you load in is in floats. The shaders all work in floats.

Briefly ARM MCU work was non-float, but loads of those have float support now.

I mean you can tell good low level programmers because of how they feel about floats. But the battle does seam lost. There is lots of bit of technology that has taken turns I don’t like. Sometimes the market/bazaar has spoken and it’s wrong, but you still have to grudgingly go with it or everything is too difficult.
