Apropos of nothing, I'd like to add my own rec for CherryTree. I started using it about a month or two into my new job, and in the year since, it's been a fantastic resource, allowing me to recall and review take and projects I&#x

Man, I thought you'd just misidentified PCP, and had to go look it up. Best link I found on the subject: http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=1914 on PCP vs PHP

Apropos of nothing, I don't believe they filled in ALL the holes down there. When I briefly worked for Dart Container, purveyors of the classic styrene foam J Cup, I learned they had just opened a MASSIVE new warehouse down in Texas, b

Actually, once I read what he REALLY seemed to be shooting for, I think it might actually be a GREAT idea! Let's say you want to process a list of numbers, a set of data records, or something fairly complex. Internally, you can pass it

As ARM Research architect, Jonathan Beard describes it, the way systems work now is a lot like ordering a tiny watch battery online and having it delivered in a box that could fit something an order of magnitude larger and with a lot of un

Known that going back at least ten years. My "solution" is a simple letter digit naming scheme that lets me get a bunch of tiny functions ready and working, then come back and name them by what they actually do. Works out well for

This actually reminds me of one year I was heading home from my folks' on New Year's. As usual, I found myself driving past Michigan City, IN, around or after midnight, with the usual lake-effect snow going full blast. As not-so-u

Now, that's interesting. Haven't looked at the article yet, but would like to note the C-128 actually used an 8502 processor, which I'd bet was a sibling/successor to the 8501. I never realized the +4/16 processor w

I remember, here in the United States, we used to have "wine coolers" back in the mid to late '80s. Was never much of a drinker myself, and underage back then anyway, so can't say much about the quality, but your "w

I was just thinking that "...a new sign language emerging..." would more likely consist of whole concepts embodied in independent expressions, which later get broken down into some parts that are more easily recombined into new wo

A co-worker worker and good friend of mine was caught and drowned in fast currents on a tubing outing 9-10 years ago. I wasn't there myself, but heard he'd just stepped out of his tube at the end of the trip when he slipped and fe

Oddly enough, I was just recently trying to play around with the PortableApps package of SWI Prolog, available here: https://portableapps.com/apps/development/swi-prolog_portabl... It's about the ONLY Portabl

In the past couple of years I've been updating my CAD skills, one of the most fascinating discoveries for me was how fillets and rounds distribute the stresses that affect sharp corners. First-year engineering stuff, sure, but pretty a

Oh, this could be really good! I've played with a couple emulators that had some proprietary restrictions, but still worked well for my needs. A good one free and clear would be really nice!

Myself, as well. It's been some time since I last read his books, but his name crossed my mind a few times in the last few years, and I'd wondered if he could actually still be around. Wish I've looked into that sooner.

You can't just go calling hospitals asking if a certain person has been admitted. That's actually confidential information, and they won't just give that out.

I have to tell this one: Early on in urinalysis, we discussed the physical examination of urine, which of course included odors. One of the odors mentioned was "mousy," which prompted one of my fellow students to ask if we were talking abou

That's interesting. I found my German lessons did help me better understand the underpinnings of English. Of course, that may owe more to the teacher, and English being a Germanic language probably helped, but knowing a second natural langu

Wait a minute. You said the defendant had to put up half a million dollars? And the district court awarded the defendant $489,150.48? Half a million is $500,000. Unless I've picked out the wrong numbers, the award looks pretty close to the
