Theoretically, that coalition should mainly consist of countries like Malta, Panama, Liberia, Bolivia, and Mongolia. The safety of ships is duty of the country under which flag they sail. I doubt any freighter down there is registered in the US or any EU state (except Malta).
In case you young whippersnappers have no clue what is so special about September:
Back then, the internet (and usenet, bitnet, talk) community had been nearly 100% academic. No idiots, no stupid loudmouths, no antivax moms, no politicians. Each September was an inflow of new students accessing the net for the first time, and it was up to the existing population to educate the newbies on things like netiquette and overall good behavior. People learned to use free and open services without abusing them. Back then, those newbies were usually quick to learn, so any problem arising from people who might cause issues usually was over within a few weeks.
Then, The Flood came. The Eternal September began. The time where AOL disks were so common that people used them as coasters. The Internet and all the services on it never were the same again. The existing netizens were no longer capable to educate new users on proper, civilized behavior, and usenet posts solely consisting of text like "me too" became common. It went downhill from there. Formerly open services closed up because of unmitigated abuse. One day, even lawyers invaded the net, peopledespicable things like Sanford Wallace, for example. You newbies today cannot imagine a time like it was before criminals like him invaded this space.
It's not a "failed election" the UK is heading for per se, it would simply work as intended by the current law. It's just that the predictable results are anything but favourable for the Tories.
Those Tories have been against changes to the system for ages. Now that they notice that without methods of proportional representation they will be out of jobs after the next election, this kind of change suddenly looks good.
For those who don't understand the language: This is the parody of an officially sponsored training/education film. The speaker is a well-known voice for a series of traffic safety videos that were shown weekly on TV in the 70s. It starts with the ceremony of handing out the forklift operator certificates, and then follows one of those nwly minted forklift operators, describing things one should not do around or with forklifts.
Reminds me of a former co-worker. He had his house built right next to the old company HQ. And due to fights with the bureaucrats, he probably knew the rules and regulations better than anyone. He checked in on the building site before he came in to work, during lunchtime, and after work on the way back home, and frequently had to kick some contractors behinds on issues. Woe to you if you did not work 100% up to code!
The biggest one was that the roof guy had put in some barrier on the roof, but did not glue the individual sheets together. My coworker made them remove anything they had already put on top of that barrier and fix the issue.
Can't he just sell cut-off pieces of himself? I guess many of his MAGA-heads would love to have a pound of their idol at home. Just like people in medieval times took fingers of people that were hanged as trophies...
Yep. It really looks funny. You have those stainless steel tubs in shelves with that black pelt of Aspergillus Niger mold growing, and you know the stuff they make will end up in about each and every convenience food product in the world: Bread, soda, pizza, instant soup, pasta sauce - basically everywhere.
Actually, one of the key touristic things of K'gari is that you can actually drive a car on the beach, except for three set and marked zones (See here). As the article did not state where the incident happened, the car might or might not be legal there.
Keep in mind that the article states that the parents drove he daughter to the helicopter pickup point. So they might have been on a car-legal beach.
Regardless if allowing cars on a beach is a good thing or not, it is allowed in places, and letting a small child play unsupervised in such an area might not be the best parenting idea for a start. They could have gone to a "no cars allowed" beach instead. Apart from that - it is a beach. Not supervising young kids on a beach, especially one where large areas are marked as to dangerous to go into the water, is not a good idea from the word GO, anyway.
No, there is no benefit. Actually avoiding continue or break like statements makes code overly complicated.
Maybe she made a mental short circuit with constructs like setjump and longjump (which are evil).
I've 30+ years of C in my portfolio, with 1000 programs small and big, with millions of LOC, and I'd say her stand on break and continue is utterly stupid.
Nope. It already was WASD around 1980, when I got my first computer. It even had the arrows printed on the keycaps to be used with the CTRL key, as it didn't have a numpad or cursor pad at all. You had to use WASD to move around.
I worked with Unix before Windows was a thing. I've worked on windows, saw what a shitshot it was (and still is), and work with Linux instead. I do have Windows PCs at the lab for some renitent software, too, but it is always a step backwards when it comes to data procession.
