ANNOUNCEMENT: โGeorge Arrowsmithโ is dead. A couple of years ago when I started publishing Elixir content, I decided I wanted to keep my online persona separate from my real life, and thus began writing under a pseudonym. I donโt remember how or why I landed on โArrowsmithโ,

I love this. A British politician has the surname "Cleverly" so it's hard to report anything that sounds bad about him.

Not to say they deserved it but is there any conceivable timeline in which pre-Columbian peoples *weren't* wiped out by disease? Someone was going to cross the Atlantic eventually. Smallpox was going to do its thing. How could it have been avoided?
Okay fine. I think America not existing is an OK side effect of not killing 96% of Native Americans from first contact to the 20th century

When my wife gave birth last year we could barely communicate with the midwives because their English was so poor. Thank you NHS ๐

"Britain created the modern world. "This country gave us so much of what not only we, but the world, values today." @matthewclifford reminds us that Britain has an exceptional history - so we can have an exceptional future. ๐๐ฌ๐ง๐

By "independent investigation" what he means is that no-one will be fired, no-one will be hold accountable, nothing meaningful will change, but he'll pay millions of pounds of your money to his lawyer friends for them to write a long report that no-one reads.
Kebatu is back in Ethiopia - where he belongs. I thank colleagues in the Home Office for this swift deportation. ย I have already established an independent investigation into the events of last Friday, and prisons now have the strictest checks ever to prevent release errors.

A Levels now teaching "Marxist theory... eco-critical theory... post colonial theory..." There is just so much brainwashing going on in schools and universities - we have to enforce the (1996) law on political neutrality.
Let's be honest, the progressive capture of English Literature has not been good for the subject

Iโm starting to think that this bill has not been written particularly well.

"Gamification" in edtech usually means "Candy-Crushification" - attacking your attention span with flashy gimmicks that drown you in cheap dopamine. It doesn't have to be like this. Games can be deep and serious works of art. The best videogames have intricate mechanics that
"Gamification" has unfortunately become synonymous for putting lipstick on an educational pig, but it doesn't have to be that way. And "dopamine hits" aren't bad per se, they're just part of human corporeal life.

When the Leftist billionaires thought that climate-change alarmism was the way to impose socialism, through hobbling capitalist growth & imposing crippling eco-guilt, they promoted reduced energy consumption & 'Net Zero'. Now that the Leftist billionaires think that AI

LLMs are so much better at coding today than they were six months ago. And 6 months ago was already a huge improvement on 12 months ago. If you're not on board yet, how? What more do you need to see?

Itโs amazing how AI came along with its massive energy needs and in a blink they just dropped โclimate.โ
Bill Gates thinks climate change is still a serious problem, but says it's time to focus on fighting poverty and preventing disease. https://t.co/dBxfiP22Qv

It's amazing how Javascript has been around for 16 years longer than Elixir and has 1000000x the mindshare yet its tooling is still dumpster fire dogshit trainwreck garbage compared to what Elixir has had since version 1.

@DAaronovitch The mediaโs self-referential obsession with forms of words, rather than the substance of how we live, is a major contributor to our present malaise.
