“For voters opposed to Reform UK, tactical voting represents the most obvious counterstrategy – one of the explanations for the lopsided result in the Caerphilly byelection (which used FPTP). But to be effective, tactical voting requires clear information: voters must know which party has the best chance of defeating Reform UK in their own constituency."

Good Morning #Canada
December 15th, 1964, the Canadian House of Commons votes 163 to 78 to approve the red Maple Leaf flag. The vote put an end to years of conflict over the Liberals proposing a new flag, and gave Canada a new symbol for its upcoming 100th birthday celebration. In 1960, Lester B. Pearson, then Leader of the Opposition, declared that he was determined to solve what he called “the flag problem.” To Pearson, this issue was critical to defining Canada as a unified, independent country. As the newly elected Prime Minister in 1963, Pearson promised to resolve the question of a new national flag in time for Canada’s centennial celebrations in 1967. Traditionalists fought for their beloved Union Jack while a younger generation wanted a new modern design to represent Canada. Thousands of designs, some truly ugly, were considered and rejected, including Pearson's preferred flag. I think we did OK in the end.

Life's journey is marked by challenges that become stepping stones to success. Each obstacle testifies to my strength and resilience. As Churchill said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." Let's harness this courage and persist! 💪 #CourageToContinue

Anybody familiar with the details of how thread local storage on aarch64 is implemented abi wise?
Like if I'm working on a bare metal embedded platform with two cores and i want some data to be private per core using gcc thread local attributes how do i actually make that work so accesses to that data get a pointer to a per core context object and look it up as an offset into it etc?

European Union (probably not alone) is at risk of insufficient primary materials to facilitate the renewable energy capture systems on which its modest climate mitigation plans rely.

The Greens "are best placed to mobilise and unify the disparate voter groups unhappy with Labour in this seat, and if they can do so then a winning coalition is there for the taking."
