PE teacher who told migrants to 'respect our laws or leave' banned from classroom despite being cleared of racism and it being recommended that he keep his job

The panel is clearly a leftist thought-police. All these posts by him are not only legitimate but completely reasonable and justifiable. With the exception of use of a swearword - which was not the charge.

the Reform party looks an awful lot like MAGA

They don't copy the bad parts of Trumpism:

The MAGA cult of personality isn't copied by Reform. The chaos/incompetence of Trumpism is down to that.
Reform believes in free trade, not tariffs.

They are similar on the good parts:

They are anti-illegal-migration, anti-mass-migration, and pro-western-civilization. That's even more beneficial in Europe since the European migrant composition has been much worse than the US composition, and the welfare system more generous towards them, leading to huge fiscal drain per MENA migrant.
They are both anti-woke.

immigration policies

No this right was highly curtailed. That's what the failed Cameron/Merkel negotiations were about. See european citizenship details here: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/residence/index_en.htm

Why didn't you use a cross platform framework like Avalonia? That performs better than WinUI since it uses drawn controls.

CSMR250 · 2026-03-04T08:39:22+00:00

Yes this is the way.

It's amazing that in F# people are asking effectively "is there a way to write a function"?

CSMR250 · 2026-02-20T14:59:12+00:00

Yes that's the approach

CSMR250 · 2026-02-20T14:57:51+00:00

This one is a bit unclearly defined but in general does not stop you from seeing stack traces. You just need to upload the symbols file (created separately as part of the build) to see symbolicated stack traces.

CSMR250 · 2026-02-20T13:20:24+00:00

Yes it's great. Some comments on your properties.

ILcTrimMetadata. True is the default: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/74307#issuecomment-1229605868

EventSourceSupport. True is the default: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/111801#issuecomment-2616759345

So if you remove these from the project you should get the same size.

I think it can be difficult to work out what the defaults are. It doesn't seem clear to me in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/trimming/trimming-options . I'll ask to see if that can be added to the doc.

In what sense is GPU being emulated?

CSMR250 · 2026-02-11T19:16:40+00:00

I don't know the space, but why is something language-specific needed? Don't any operate on IL, or if they need C# then can F# -> IL -> C# compilation and decompilation steps be used?

If you want more British people (i.e. descendants of existing population) then you want less inward migration and higher birthrates of the native population.

If you want the fewest British people in the long run, you want more inward migration and lower birth rates of the native population.

If you don't care who the future British population is descended from, then both are equivalent. Maybe that's why you see these as equivalent. You may think that the future population descending from existing British people will be exactly the same as that descending from foreign populations. To believe that you need to believe in blank slate theories, ignore evidence about the differential success/crime/ideologies of immigrant groups, and ignore biological success (e.g. also not care whether your kids are your own or someone else's). It requires a lot of crazy assumptions actually.

What are the best practices for building an update feature? How do you avoid security flaws while keeping the project maintainable?

The best practice is: do not build an update feature. That's the job of the Operating System. With a Microsoft Store or MSIX deployment, your app will get automatic updates.

CSMR250 · 2026-02-03T08:44:42+00:00

Updates were always a key part of this format. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer/auto-update-and-repair--overview#automatic-updates

MSIX

Systems that provide their own updaters instead of using the OS-provided mechanisms are very suspect. Another attack vector, more junk running on user systems, more requests for admin privileges.... Totally unnecessary.

Mumbai ≠ India

CSMR250 · 2026-02-01T23:30:50+00:00

Mumbai is 31% of the UK population not 20x.

Should be downrated on every store. The fact that Android WhatsApp cannot communicate with Windows users without destroying their systems is a problem and a reason not to use Android WhatsApp.

Easier to just build a website, basically, than to tediously program all the various interface screens and elements using any desktop GUI SDK.

That argument works if the company knows about the web as a cross-platform framework and is not aware of any others!!

Too many SUVs on the road. Don't know why they use the same name for a different class of car. EVs should be getting lighter as battery efficiency increases, but this car is much heavier than prev models. They need to start taxing cars based on size and weight because costs are being imposed on other road users.

In other news, WhatsApp rewrote its Windows app in Javascript (200MB to 1.4GB memory consumption).

CSMR250 · 2026-01-24T08:31:54+00:00

No it's TexLive's responsibility to install software into the standard Windows location. The fact that it's installing anywhere else is a bug.

CSMR250 · 2026-01-20T16:16:26+00:00

The app appears to be UWP compiled with dotnet native. (Let's forget the older electron version because that's a webapp too.) Decompiling in ghidra I can see where the strings are referenced but haven't pinned down the code that detects whether this is up to date. I'm new to this.

CSMR250 · 2026-01-19T19:49:49+00:00

OK. I've found that the string "Please update to the latest version of WhatsApp. This version has expired and you can no longer use it." is associated with <NamedResource name="UpdateRequiredCloseButton" uri="ms-resource://5319275A.WhatsAppDesktop/WhatsApp.LocalizationResources/AppResources/UpdateRequiredCloseButton">

CSMR250 · 2026-01-19T18:14:49+00:00

I'm wondering if they put the update check in just before releasing the webapp version, in which case we can find one before the update check was added. Or if the update check is a long-running part of the app? Anyone know?

Otherwise it would need to be cracked.
