Former chancellor says leaving European Union has made Britain ‘poorer, weaker and less secure’

The former chancellor Rachel Reeves has argued Britain’s future should be back in the European Union, saying Brexit has made the UK “poorer, weaker and less secure”.

In her first major intervention since leaving the Treasury when Andy Burnham took office, she said those forging a path back towards EU membership had to make compelling arguments to the public.

Привет, Хабр! После двух месяцев разработки вышло ядро Linux 7.3, которое многие из нас ждали. В новую версию вошло более 20 тысяч изменений от 3 171 разработчика. Большая часть изменений традиционно пришлась на драйверы, но интересные доработки есть и в других направлениях: ФС, планировании задач, управлении памятью. Давайте посмотрим, что там появилось нового, а что убрали или поменяли. Поехали!

Расскажу, как я автоматизировала сборку еженедельной презентации: данные берутся из Redash, собирается .pptx, и раз в неделю ссылка на неё приходит в мессенджер. А потом я сделала бота, которому можно написать правку к слайду прямо в треде под презентацией.

Каждую неделю у департамента проходит встреча, и к ней нужна презентация на несколько десятков слайдов с метриками в разных разрезах. Ранее 20+ менеджеров собирали презенатцию руками: открывали Redash, прокликивали фильтры, делали скриншоты, выгружали данные в иксель и делали промежуточные расчеты, вставляли это все на слайды, подписывали цифры, делали ручное форматирование и т.д. Каждую неделю на это уходило несколько часов.

Я опишу основные шаги и как всё устроено. Код в статье упрощённый, под свои задачи его придётся дорабатывать.

В новой еженедельной подборке граф зависимостей целого приложения и больше ИИ-агентов в Android Studio Rabbit 2, Over The Air обновления Kotlin-кода и советы junior инженерам от нанимающего менеджера Anthropic, троян в ушах и угон аккаунтов через беспроводные наушники, новый AppsFlyer Performance Index, доставка 584 Мб модели Gemma через Google Play и многое другое. Заходите!

Я сделал Фрешко, маленькую бесплатную программу для Мака и Windows.

UK children’s minister Josh MacAlister has travelled to Copenhagen to see what can be learned from Danish system

In a quiet suburb on the outskirts of Copenhagen sits a large white house, set back from the road behind a purple-leaved plum tree. It looks much like the rest of the buildings on the street and there is little outward sign this is Josephine Schneider’s House, considered one of the best children’s homes in the world.

Danish children’s homes are often cited as the gold standard of children’s residential care globally. They are now being studied by the British government as it tries to create a roadmap out of the crisis in which its own children’s home system has become mired.

(Harmonia Mundi)
Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic’s take on Strauss’s tone poem is full of darkness and light, with an impressionist’s eye for details

This is the third recording of Richard Strauss’s monumental tone poem to appear in the last year, and in some respects the most interesting. Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra adopt an expansive view, taking three minutes longer to clamber up and down the composer’s musical mountain than Edward Gardner or Nicholas Collon’s recent recordings. And yet nothing here seems to drag its feet.

The natural world through which the intrepid hikers pass may be the emphasis of the ascent, but it’s the mystic vision and elegy on the summit where the conductor’s focus lies – that and the uneasy darkness into which Strauss’s day of thrills and spills ultimately descends.

It is not going well for Oliver Glasner at Nottingham Forest, to say the least.

“For me, I go home and have breakfast with my family, so it’s not the worst situation,” Glasner said. “Nobody needs to have pity with Oliver Glasner. If I want, I could start in two weeks somewhere else. I won’t do it. But the players, the staff, they remain in the same situation. And it’s the same shit situation that the club had last year. So you need to change and rebuild from the bottom to the top. And this is clear for me. And this is what I will do. And without any compromises, zero, zero.”

Régis Le Bris, Sunderland’s head coach, said: “I don’t think they are not aware of the situation. We are exposed this season with this busy schedule, it’s really demanding.

“Is it unexpected? I don’t think so. Many clubs last year experienced exactly the same situation. First year in Europe, you know you will have on average 10 less points. It’s our reality.

The late actor’s co-stars in Logan and Anthony and Cleopatra remember dog impressions, marching band-conducting and a fervent belief in fun

I had the unbelievable privilege of working with Patrick when I was 11 [in Logan]. He was a man of extraordinary warmth, wit and generosity. He possessed that increasingly rare ability to make everyone around him feel as though they were being let in on something wonderful. To work alongside him was to be reminded, every day, of what it means to love what you do, and to share that love with others. He imparted lessons in a way that was so wise, you didn’t even realise you were being taught.

Leader is charting a course through troubled waters as a new survey finds trans people feel more pessimistic about social acceptance after combative decade

Transgender people fear social acceptance is going into reverse and some are retreating from public spaces, according to the first major analysis since last year’s supreme court ruling in the UK on the definition of a woman.

The Stonewall survey finds that while almost half of British LGBTQ+ people feel more accepted by society than a decade ago, 58% of trans+ people – and 75% of trans women – feel less so. Almost half of trans+ people now avoid certain bars and restaurants where they do not feel safe, 37% avoid single-sex spaces such as toilets and changing rooms, and 29% avoid exercise classes or sports teams. A striking 80% are pessimistic about the future of equality, in stark contrast to the net hope expressed when the same question was asked in 2017.

AI-менеджер маркетплейсов получил весь API Wildberries, но маржу, сроки поставки и аудит карточек ему приходилось считать заново в каждом разговоре. Нужны были готовые инструменты. Оставалось решить, кто их напишет.

Разрешить писать код самому менеджеру мы не решились: он постоянно читает чужие тексты, а код выполнялся бы рядом с ключами кабинетов. Поэтому инструменты написал Claude Opus в отдельной изолированной службе, а менеджер может только вызывать готовое. Рассказываем, как устроено это разделение и как мы лишили модель возможности выполнить правку без «да» владельца.

In her Sydney Opera House talk, the former New Zealand PM advised politicians to ‘rebuild trust by building financial security’

Jacinda Ardern, who now calls Sydney home, has delivered a message to Australian politicians from the stage of the city’s Opera House.

The former New Zealand prime minister turned academic told the audience on Sunday that politicians were exacerbating the problem of polarisation within society and needed to be better.

From husky sledding and chasing the northern lights in Lapland to bear-spotting in Transylvania, here’s our pick of wild and magical snowy breaks in Europe

At Ruka, the first skiers of the year slalomed down the slopes on 2 October. Just inside the Arctic Circle, Ruka’s long snow-sure season and cosy village atmosphere make it a popular ski resort with Finnish families. The long polar nights mean there are only a few hours of dim twilight each day, but the slopes here are floodlit, so that never stops play.

Using a fake DOB or leaving the field blank when making an online account can offer protection from identity theft

You get a call from your bank saying there has been suspicious activity on your account. They read out your name, address and date of birth so you are happy it is a legitimate caller.

But you are talking to criminals who have used your date of birth as part of a web of verifying information to convince you they are someone else.

‘We’re making it worse, not better,’ former New Zealand prime minister warns leaders

The former New Zealand prime minister turned academic told the audience on Sunday that politicians were exacerbating the problem of polarisation within society and needed to be better.

Hundreds of adult gaming centres in England have bingo licences that still qualify them for discounted business rates

Hundreds of high street “slot farms” could continue claiming a discount on their business rates, unless the government closes a loophole that allows them to pose as bingo halls.

John Healey singled out adult gaming centres (AGCs) in his first budget this week, in which he increased duty on slot machine takings from 20% to 25%, claiming he was “raising taxes on gambling to support good growth on every high street”.

• Pool A: Jillaroos 124-6 Wales

• Jaime Chapman scores six tries in record-breaking win

The record-breaking Jillaroos have warmed up for the challenge of the World Cup semi-finals with a destruction of Wales that highlights the gulf between rugby league haves and have nots.

The 124-6 victory sets a new women’s World Cup record score and winning margin, eclipsing the 92-0 win recorded by Australia over France in 2022. The Jillaroos even went past the men’s tournament record – set by the Kangaroos in a 110–4 humbling of Russia in 2000 – even though the duration of the women’s game is 10 minutes fewer than the men’s. Their 124 points was also the highest score recorded in an international rugby league match.

Bardon has largely remained in popular consciousness as the synonymous hero and martyr of the art movement’s origin story. But a new biography is unravelling the myth, and the madness, behind the tale

Like many foundation stories, the white Australian narrative about the birth of the globally celebrated Western Desert Aboriginal “dot painting” movement is steeped in myth.

For decades it has gone like this. In 1971 a young, eccentric middle-class art teacher from Sydney, Geoffrey Bardon, arrives in the remote assimilationist Aboriginal settlement of Papunya, 250km west of Alice Springs.

Led by Congress party, India’s opposition alliance channels anger over removal of 130 million names from voter roll

Thousands of opposition supporters have gathered in Delhi as protests against the Narendra Modi government continue to gather momentum.

Led by the Congress party, India’s opposition alliance has brought together supporters from across the country, amid growing anger over a large-scale revision of the country’s voter roll that has seen 130 million names erased.

It was so refreshing to hear Aaron Sorkin admit he was bad at parts of directing after his movie flop. If only others could be as frank

By most accounts, Aaron Sorkin’s new film The Social Reckoning, a follow-up to his 2010 smash-hit The Social Network, is a flop. The film critic Mark Kermode’s response to seeing it was that Sorkin, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest living screenwriters, is “not a great director”.

It seems that Sorkin agrees. Because Sorkin is very famous, he has had to do the rounds talking about the film in the media, which led to his appearance on the Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast earlier this week, in which he addressed these kinds of criticisms head on. “I’m very worried that the parts of directing that I’m not good at are those parts that you can’t learn,” he said. “In addition to having absorbed none of the science of filmmaking, I have – and this is a problem in a visual medium – I have no visual sensibility at all, it turns out.”

Imogen West-Knights is a writer and journalist

The crumpet has the texture of a damp Always Ultra

I’ve done some fairly rash things in my time, but I’ve never popped into anywhere for king scallops with ’nduja and come out with a swallow tattoo on my neck, though what is this life without adventure? Which is where Moods comes in: the space is an all-day restaurant, bar, tattoo parlour and hair salon in Leeds, offering violetta potato with ox cheek, a short back and sides, and the chance to tattoo “Mum” on your lower left arm, all in one Grade II-listed building.

It occupies the former First White Cloth Hall on Kirkgate, built in 1711 for the trade of white undyed cloth. This cavernous ark, with roof timbers dating back to the 1470s, lurked on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk register for more than 20 years, during which time it was under almost constant threat from the bulldozers. It took the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Leeds Civic Trust and Rushbond, a Leeds-based developer with a penchant for rescuing buildings, to drag it out of danger. Then Will and Hayley Moody arrived, slotting in their Buzz Club Tattoo Studio and a hair and beauty salon called Self, and now, on the ground floor, there’s Moods, a kitchen reportedly run by Craig Rogan. Laugh at the tattoo/hair/dinner triumvirate, if you want (I know I did), but it’s a grim joke that we treat our old buildings like this, and that hospitality is in a state so wild that this seems to be the solution. Bring on the bright new future of ye olde small plates, buzzcuts and half-sleeve emporiums, all under 400-year-old timbers.

Getting older and losing your autonomy is even harder without family around. You need to consider both the practical and emotional issues involved

My wife and I are in our late 70s, and have been married for more than 40 years. We didn’t have kids and were rather traumatised after failed IVF.

My wife is Asian and has no UK-based family. I do, but they are not close geographically, nor are they people who would be able to give any support if needed. Friends are of a similar age and so have their own issues to deal with. My wife and I have always been a self-reliant unit, and we’re both reasonably healthy, but I’m increasingly aware that there will soon come a time when help is needed.

Kinaan Dadou, 10, has been left disabled since 7 October 2023 as his parents struggle to find funding for specialist treatment

It was 7.30am on 7 October 2023 when a Hamas rocket exploded next to 7-year-old Kinaan Dadou. The rocket was aimed at the Israeli settlement of Efrat in the occupied West Bank but missed its mark by a few hundred metres, landing in front of Kinaan’s family home instead.

A piece of shrapnel struck Kinaan in the head. He stood rigid, his hands frozen to his sides, and screamed “Baba!” before collapsing to the ground. An Israeli soldier who passed by promised to call an ambulance. No help ever came. Kinaan’s parents rushed him to the hospital themselves, but it was six hours before a doctor arrived due to the chaos of the day. All the while, Kinaan’s brain was haemorrhaging.
