TBH the UK in the single market is a better outcome for the UK as well as the EU. It puts something like reins on our frequently out-of-control government and leaves one powerful neoliberal voice out of the shouting match.

You're kidding. It'd be an astonishing political victory.

You don't understand correctly. There are a bunch of requirements which (were they not waived, which there's a nonzero chance they might be) are little more than establishing aspirations - adopting the Euro is one of those.

I take it you didn't read the article?

It turns out that "the threadiverse" is not "Threads".

I think you vastly overestimate the separability of these systems.

Picture 10,000 lines of code in one method, with a history of multiple decades.

Now picture that that method has buried in it, complex interactions with another method of similar size, which is triggered via an obscure side-effect.

Picture whole teams of developers adding to this on a daily basis in realtime.

There is no "meaningful progress" to be made here. It may offend your aesthetic sense, but it's just the reality of doing business.

rerere is a lifesaver here.

(I'm also a fan of rebasing; but I also like to land commits that perform a logical and separable chunk of work, because I like history to have decent narrative flow.)

The opposite of "goth" is "ostrich"?

Yeah, I can see that.

You say that but based on past performance it's probably a lie.

In the UK, she has some claim to shared equity.

I had a small X.25 network as combination coffee-table and space-heater at one point; this was before most homes had internet. It almost cost me a divorce.

That's not correct, but it shouldn't preclude you from applying defence in depth.

I don't know where you get "listing" = "logging". It's a term (apparently archaic, today I learnt I'm old) for the text of a program.
