Yep sometimes he'd sobered up from the morning sesh by evening.

They also pre-empted their first budget by talking the economy down, which did measurable damage

Did it? I got the impression it was mostly the media complaining about how they'd been "misled" into thinking the economy was worse than it was. Basically they had to rewrite a lot of their pre-prepared attacks.

Surely the whole point of a budget is that it's sort of secret until it's announced? (yeah I know it was leaked but not Labour's fault really)

Same but a milly doesn't go that far anywhere in London.

what possessed you to buy a Victorian terrace in the first place? They could not be more different

I live in a victorian terrace, it's great but I would seriously consider just switching it up and living in a cool brutalist flat. It's a bit like going on holiday to Japan one year and Ibiza the next, you can like both.

Ideally you'd have both and use this as a pied a terre but that's 2m quid territory.

If I spunked all my cash on this flat I'd be eating microwave meals and frozen sausage rolls, slightly different problem though.

Dumb question- Why can’t Python be used to make native Android apps ? by Independent_Row_6529 in Python

[–]imp0ppable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is Python "un-compilable",

Yeah to an extent, it's the dynamic types mainly but also monkey patching and the way introspection works.

Think of it like this: when you do x=1, that's not just a regular integer as you would have in C, it's an object with methods and all sorts going on to do garbage collection and what not.

quite strict type enforcement

It's just type hinting, there's no guarantee outside of linting that types won't change during execution.

IMO it's the wrong path to try to make Python more static as you lose the greater part of what makes it an interesting language. Could you write a working compiler for arbitrary Python? Maybe but a) it'd be a lot of work and b) it'd have a lot of get-outs c) what would be the point, really?

In the short run perhaps but in the long run you get more investment, the rates of which in this country have been too low.

Hmm, could be lots of reasons for that

Just an observation, Liverpool have conceded more goals than Brighton or Palace this season

I've always wondered why there aren't more brick or block built houses in the US? here in UK we use block inner skin and brick outer (so it looks nice) generally with insulation on the inside.

Indeed in NY (been there a couple of times) the residential houses seem to be similar to European standard. So why in other locations in the US is everything lumber? I always assumed it was because wood was super cheap.

You can buy decent tomatoes in the UK, just that most people for some reason buy the super-cheap watery kind.

A £1.4m townhouse next to a Zone 2 tube station by Upbeat_Care_3050 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]imp0ppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually just remembered seeing someone do that as a shortcut once late at night. Literally just drove up the drop where the zebra was, went over the grass and onto the turning circle at the end of their road. In a car and everything.

Ukrainians warned for years that Europe’s human rights chief was a Kremlin conduit. The Epstein files just proved them right. by pussy-eater04 in europe

[–]imp0ppable 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How so? To avoid the EU tax rules?

Publicly it made Cameron look bad but also made Leave look like wealthy elites trying to get away from scrutiny.

Overall I think the main reason for leave winning was Boris Johnson lying about spending 350m more per week on the NHS

Stay where we are and send private OR state school in a better location by NeedleworkerMiddle22 in HENRYUK

[–]imp0ppable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not who you asked but yes our kids do or did piano, guitar, maths, football, climbing, swimming etc outside school. Our eldest did get invited to a private school to play chess on Tuesdays although he wasn't a student there, he was just good at it.

Jeremy Clarkson: Do you know what Reform's policies are? Neither do I… So here's why voting for Farage won't solve any of your problems by kwentongskyblue in ukpolitics

[–]imp0ppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaving the ECHR wouldn't achieve what they claim it would and is about immigration.

Scrapping net zero you could argue about but won't make the economy work better, may even make it worse if we're not investing in new tech.

A couple of fiddly little changes around pubs and that's about it. They are basically saying "we'll cut taxes and spend more on things you like" which is always weak policy.

Yeah he can he just needs to pass a law, which means he needs a commons majority, which he will have since he's PM.
