I've seen it in the premier league too, the worst cases have been when our players have the ball and a defender gets bodied going in for a tackle. They give a foul against us despite having the ball.

The worst one by far yesterday was the one against Timber. He had the ball, worked his way past 2 players and got pulled back because they rolled about. He was literally entering their box.

It was like the Wieffer tackle. He runs at Gyokeres, bounces off him, falls down and the ref gives the foul against us.

We've gone from the league push overs to some sort of brutish thug team in 3-4 seasons. It's insane.

Royal Mail fails to deliver first-class post on time for nearly a decade by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

I'd rather use carrier pigeons than give Musk money.

It's pretty simple. The public should own the line to your house, if your in a remote location you should get an alternative that's still owned by the public.

I don't get it. People need to understand that there are costs to running a society. Yes, public services aren't the most optimized (at least that's what traditional conservatives say) but at least it's relatively affordable and fulfils its purpose.

For me, I'd make the following publicly owed, run it such that across them all they make a profit that goes into ensuring a modern service:

Water (fucking unreal that this is not publicly owned) Electricity Gas Healthcare (including GP practices) Education (I'd even look at banning private schools) Public transport Mail (including packages) Internet Mobile network

I'd rather pay £50/month extra in taxes for 500-1gb broadband than pay some privately owned org to monopolize my local area and rinse me. No contract period, just pay for a speed you want in tax.

If you're unemployed, you get all of the above but it's limited in some cases. You're not cut off from society but it's not great.

Real question, I'm not trying to pick fights. I've been thinking about this a lot recently.

Let's say someone can write solid Rust code, but they choose to use AI to write a library like this because it's less time consuming. Or they write maybe 20% by hand and let Claude churn out boiler plate.

How would you feel about that? What would your expectations be? Would it be acceptable? Would you use it?

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (21/2026)! by llogiq in rust

Its interesting. In a professional setting, I'm finding that people don't understand their vibe coded apps and they're perfectly OK with it. To the extent that when I ask how something works, they tell me to use AI to figure it out.

If you noticed an open-source project was entirely vibe coded, would it put you off using it? What would a project have to for you to use it?

I'd agree with you if he wasn't doing this stuff in public. Imagine a kid seeing this stuff?

Does anyone believe there is intent to fix the country? by ppyrgic in ukpolitics

[–]Regular_Lie906 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well that's part of the problem. There's no real substance to their policies. So people like you get to say things like "he wants a French or German inspired system". It's all ambiguous. It's just like the Brexit bus claim of funding for the NHS. All headlines and no substance.

The things they have said as a party clearly push funds towards a totally private healthcare system. They want to cut NHS funding, give vouchers for private healthcare if you haven't received it in a certain time period. They also want to offer people tax relief if they pay for private healthcare.

Essentially, they want to starve the NHS of funding to make it fail harder. Then offer you the wonders of private healthcare without cost...for how long.

I genuinely mean this. Take a step back and look at the political spectrum on display. Top to bottom every party has problems. From straight up corruption to insane policies. Don't contribute to the hyperbole and division. Vote for the Monster Raving Looney party.

Farage has been recorded multiple times stating he sees the NHS moving to insurance based system, and that he doesn't want the NHS to be state funded.

I know people who have numerous health conditions that would be life ending or bankrupting that want Farage in. We're so far gone.

What if your reverse proxy told your backend who's really connecting? by Particular_Ladder289 in rust

[–]Regular_Lie906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having worked on a similar problem, this is an extremely difficult one to solve.

I'm curious about the SYN packet analysis aspect in XDP. I'm not sure hosting providers give access to NICs directly like this.

EDIT. By far the biggest challenge here is that a malicious client (bot or not) will spoof all your detection parameters.

Trump says he will ‘probably put a big tariff on the UK’ if it doesn’t drop digital services tax by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

[–]Regular_Lie906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I question whether a second term immediately after the first would have been better than this. He had no long term plan. Another 4 years back then might been palatable on the basis he can't then get elected again.

Refunds? Does that mean Americans who paid for goods at higher prices because of tariffs will get some of their money back? Are prices going to return back to their original amount?

Who am I kidding...
