We didn't have no where to live, / we didn't have nowhere to go 'til someone said / "I know this place off Burditt Road." It was on the fifteenth floor, / it had a board across the door. It took an hour / to pry it off and get inside. / It smelt as if someone had died; the living-room was full of flies, / the kitchen sink was blocked, the bathroom sink not there at all. / Ooh, / it's a mess alright, / yes it's Mile End. / And now we're living in the sky! / I'd never thought I'd live so high, / just like Heaven / (if it didn't look like Hell.) The lift is always full of piss, / the fifth floor landing smells of fish (not just on Friday, / every single other day.) Below the kids come out tonight, / they kick a ball and have a fight and maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool. Ooh, / it's a mess alright, / yes it's / Mile End. [mumbled mutterings... you love it...] Oo-ooh / Nobody wants to be your friend 'cause you're not from round here, / ooh / as if that was something to be proud about. / The pearly king of the Isle of Dogs feels up children in the bogs. / Down by the playing fields, someone sets a car on fire I guess you have to go right down before you understand just how, / how low, how low a human being can go.

Haga··on UK Government Body Kept Files on People Criticizing Prevent Program
? If a conservative prime minister oversees a large scale imigration event, he is no longer conservative. You might not realize it, but by demonstrating how much the whole political spectrum shifted to the left, you are arguing GPs point.

I find it quite horrendous how easy the left got manipulated into reviving the right by importing extremists and dhijhadis and waging warfare on the economic basis of western wealth.

Haga··on The internet is kind of a predatory cesspit now
Its because all of society moved interactions online, as the whole real space society got socially strangulated of discussions, arguments and anything meaningfull. If everything is a safe space- and democratic societies argueing and challenging of ideas is not "safe" - then the meaningfull interactions escape into the internet.
Haga··on South Australia passes law to ban “disruptive” protests
Seeing stones aka cell phones collected mankind's communication and behavioral data. This allows to "hack" the behavior of the species, manipulate groups into infighting and thus divide and conquer. It also provides a api to manipulate fearfull of the future politicians, company ceos and shareholders by offering advise.

Its even got its own philosophical movement for the spiders in the center of the web. With a lack of social control over distributed tech artifacts as great filter and thus infinite justification for all these emergency atrocities already in effect or yet to come.

Science goes were the data goes. Neurosciences were privatized.

Haga··on BlockFi files for bankruptcy as FTX fallout spreads

He banned the three guys? There is a joke in industrial automation, that if a machine builder has a problem and contracts that work out to some external experts, it's always the same three guys, walking into the car company with different shirts.

The world is really small, if a job has nasty hours, bad conditions and needs expertise. Basically 3 idealists and Noone else.

Charge the hull, ionize the gas, minimize loss by forcefield. Needs current carrying hull though. Graphene?
Haga··on Up and Down the Ladder of Abstraction (2011)
I found the army to be a very good example to explain abstraction layers. It's intuitive, that a general should not know about the flawed boot of a soldier. It's also intuitive why the rarer it is used every day the more it is factored out into specialized services. the procedural nature of beginner programs is like a obsessive drill seargant. Its even nice for a start into parallelism.

Haga··on I’ve had the same supper for 10 years
*I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Haga··on An Introduction to Data Oriented Design with Rust
Dod taken to its extremes, is to give up on alot of other concepts like avoiding data duplicates. Usually you build a oop prototype to identify the hot loop and then build datastructures optimized for this process. Imagine it like a chemical plant that no longer receives one type per train or wagon, but instead processor batch sized pre mixed ingredients on wagons, that might even be reused as storage and staging for the refinery traveling overhead. A classic oop objects attributes might be distributed over several of such data wagons and the problem here is synchronization and updating. So what if your Algo processed it fast but is bow stuck waiting for another to sync its data back to arrays of optimal accessstructs.
Haga··on Elon Musk reopening Tesla factory despite Alameda County order
Cpaps are way more useful as ventilators. If yo are on the vent with covid19 you are as good as done. The problem is one of supply chains.. They are withering and dieing atm. If you don't keep them alive at all cost, the ecosystem around your company is gone once you reopen.

Its even worser In Europe due to car complexity..
