The main thing I got from that is drug pricing is complicated. At least the extra expenditure comes from widening the pool of available drugs rather than just the prices of existing treatments being put up.

Well to start with you need to stop running a deficit. Once we are spending less than we raise in taxes we can pay down the debt and bring down those borrowing costs.

Alternatively you wait for inflation to overtake interest and eventually your debt pile and interest becomes a smaller and smaller part of the overall budget.

Modern machines have TPM so we can do attested boot and validate a system hasn’t been tampered with. They don’t need third party kernel modules to test that.

Fundamentally the reason they want to use kernel modules is to observe the system for other executables interfering with the game. This is a hacky solution at best

The TPM hardware can support attested boot so you can verify with the hardware nothing but the verified kernel and userspace is running. That gives you the same guarantees but without letting third parties mess with your kernel.

It’s nice to see Valve and Igalia see the benefit of open GPU drivers for Proton and FEX utilise.

It’s an interesting model they have moved to (heavily discounted food Vs donations). There is probably more work to do on wages and energy costs as time to cook is the greatest reason people don’t make healthy food.

I would have thought unified memory would pay off, otherwise you spend your time shuffling stuff between system memory and vram. Isn’t the deck unified memory?

Has anyone compiled a Gowron arc watchlist?

I assume the defendant had mentioned as way of mitigation?

I’ve generally been up front when starting new jobs that nothing impinges my ability to work on FLOSS software on my own time. Only one company put a restriction in for working on FLOSS software in the same technical space as my $DAYJOB.

Politicians have ducked their responsibilities here. Once the court ruled their unworkable interpretation of the law they should have gone back to the drawing board and passed new clearer legislation.

Not totally unexpected, I mean look at what brain rot does to humans.

The article mentioned there is a long history of forks in the open source Doom world. It seems the majority of the active developers just moved to the new repository.

Cost, the reason is cost.

Isn’t there already such a requirement? Last time I moved job I had to bring in my passport for HR’s records.

I haven’t had a chance to review the current ID proposals and reports of it being a government “app” don’t inspire confidence. However the idea of a single digital proof of ID when it is required for interacting with government services isn’t the worst idea in the world. If it turned into a requirement for day to day life that in my mind would be unacceptable.

What ever happend to the classic “reticulating splines”?

Really nice combination of data and presentation.

Having lived in a badly insulated rental I’ve often thought there should be some sort of incentive to encourage landlords to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. How to frame a tax that didn’t immediately get passed onto the tenants?

Mutuals and professional body insurances are a thing to.

Yep. Currently very oversubscribed so you’ll need to build more. How much are the greens planning to invest in the council house estate while they roll back private landlords?
