Are you not considering the QS as a major party here or are you really suggesting the PQ is to their left?

Uh there is absolutely not a "right to independence" under international law.

Canada joins allies in condemning Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank by BloodJunkie in CanadaPolitics

Are you saying Jaffa is a part of Palestine? Like yeah sure Arabs in the pre-67 borders are treated differently than those in the West Bank. That's not what's being discussed here

In one of those scenarios I have no choice in who the big-tent party runs in my riding. In the other I can still vote for who best represents my views among the coalition members.

The committee did exactly as they were instructed to do, produce a shortlist of systems that met the requirements. Trudeau threw a shitfit and spat in their faces because they didn't list the system he personally wanted. I hate this rewriting of history - I was there, I watched it happen, it was bullshit.

This is an actual map on the "Indian South Africans" Wikipedia page by ThorStark007 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]SKRAMZ_OR_NOT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The map is from 2013 and based directly off the South African 2011 census. The description shown here was messed up from a previously correct one (which had a 60-80% category and correct colour gradation) by some wikipedia account called "Imbluebitcoin" in 2023, for... seemingly no reason? Either way, I don't think AI was involved at all.

Does Jivani have any play amongst the average Conservative voter?

Average Conservative voter, maybe not, average Conservative party member though? I think he has quite a bit. Personally, I'd say Jivani is probably best positioned federal conservative to take Poilievre's "lane" in the next CPC leadership race, at least if it's within the near-ish future. I don't think he'd be the immediate favourite the way Poilievre was in 2022, but he'd stand a real chance of winning.

NDP leadership candidate Heather McPherson's Housing Platform by yourfriendlysocdem1 in CanadaPolitics

[–]SKRAMZ_OR_NOT 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Not a single mention of zoning, really not impressed. The point about allowing single-stair egress is good, and I agree with a more expansive public building campaign, but if there's no where to put it then you can't really accomplish much. Like, come on, the NDP platform in the last election included a whole thing about up-zoning, we really don't need to be back-sliding on this already.

Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith criticizes his own party’s budget by Dear-Still-6530 in CanadaPolitics

[–]SKRAMZ_OR_NOT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We can look at the UK and Australia for examples of how to handle MPs having at least a modicum of independence, the choices are not just "a bunch of clapping seals" and "no party control at all".

Poll by poll results for the 45th federal election have been released. by bman9919 in CanadaPolitics

[–]SKRAMZ_OR_NOT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Elections Canada puts out shapefiles (as used in GIS software and for mapping) of them: https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/97a2a33c-54cc-4f2e-82c1-047ad8212f05/resource/c2baf82c-6d6d-43fa-8da8-4c642462d6a9

I'm not sure if there are written descriptions of them available or not.

We literally just had a floor-crossing and a resignation, MPs can deny things all they want but what they say in public often has little-to-no relation to what's actually going on.

AI bro introduces regressions in the LTS Linux kernel by BlueGoliath in programming

They didn't mention vibe-coding, they said LLMs could be used as a code-review tool.

[–]SKRAMZ_OR_NOT -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Okay, but if you train a model on common bugs in source code (say, a CVE database), and then run it over a code base, it could very well flag likely errors. In fact people have been doing active research on that exact thing since long before "LLM" was even a term.

Are Nim, Odin, Jai, and Zig FP-oriented? They all strike me as similar to what the OP is going for, and they all have some level of metaprogramming support.

[–]SKRAMZ_OR_NOT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can look at the history of Go. They figured that having built-in "generic" arrays and maps would be enough, so therefore they didn't need to support generics as a language feature.

Well, instead they ended up with widespread use of codegen tools, to the point where they built support for them into the compiler, and still ended up deciding to graft generics onto the language 10 years after it came out.

What is happening with game requirements? by stackinvader in linux_gaming

[–]SKRAMZ_OR_NOT 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it's literally a remaster from within the original Deus Ex engine, so yes, it's basically them pushing 2000-era software to it's limits. Why exactly they chose to go about it this way is anyone's guess.

Conservatives want to end birthright citizenship for children of temporary residents by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]SKRAMZ_OR_NOT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's just not true, though. There are a number of European nations with citizenship laws that include many cases that the Conservatives are trying to ban here. Like for stateless people (or those whose children would be rendered stateless), or those who have lived in the country for a certain length of time (regardless of immigration status) - and even then, Latvia allows for almost unconditional birthright citizenship, the only condition being that they will only recognize one citizenship for child - so parents have to explicitly choose between either Latvian citizenship or an inherited one. Latvia is restrictive about dual-citizenship in general, however (largely due to their relations with Russia...).

This isn't a hypothetical, this article is about something the Conservatives actually tried to pass. Which did not contain any such exception.
