See my other comment about this elsewhere in the thread. I'm saying eat what you feel you need to eat (within limits of course) so we're probably arguing the same point, just a different half of it. Fetal macrosomia is something I

It's not a problem until there's a problem and there is no research on that really. There probably should be. According to my other half, anecdotal evidence from consultants suggest that the larger babies have a better outcome. Th

Actually it's more about infant health post-birth. If there any feeding problems, infection, secondary problems or surgery required then that body fat is very very important. Babies are notoriously fussy buggers and can deteriorate pre

This is sort of my point. My wife chips in here... Strict diet control is likely to be more harmful than people realise. Many many people end up in hospital during pregnancy after controlling things very strictly. The amount of mothers foll

You're right but it defers determinism until some point in the future or maybe not at all :)

I'll second this. We've had similar problems with Task<> based code in C# (futures/async) when it comes to performance analysis. I will say this only becomes apparent when you really push it hard, but we do that. Determ

This. Haven't been drunk since 1998. Haven't had a night out since 2006 and we came home after two hours because we were bored. Haven't missed it either. I'd rather be with them and my wife. I'm the first person up

Oh wow. Nice work. I aways has ambitions of building something like this but never the motivation. I built a full adder and that was as far as I could stomach the job.

Three children here. Don't worry about any books or stuff. They're all pretty crappy. Some of them are written by people who have never even had children. Best advice I can offer: 1. If you find a problem, fix it. Don't worry

Looks useful for data logging and general experimental work in low speed scenarios. I'm currently using a TI 83 silver edition and a TI CBL and some Vernier sensors for this sort of stuff and it's a bit sucky but was essentially s

He was brought up on a farm in Switzerland in the 1950s before industrial farming took off, so definitely not that. I suspect it was a psychological thing after having to process chickens by hand.

They aren't the most logical bunch. My father is allergic to poultry apparently yet chows down on hot dogs made mostly from turkey. Same level of batshit.

Similar thoughts here. The biggest problem for C++ that I see is that it has historically not had any batteries included. That strokes the ego of an average programmer and gets the creative juices flowing. Rather than doing discliplined res

Lets be realistic here. So I'm going to go and delete 90% of my mp3s and go and purchase a CD player this afternoon. Actually nope, I'm going to continue to steal all my music out of a combination of apathy and disdain for the

In microsoft-land where I reside, they are called tasks and we cancel tasks. Technically all tasks can be collected in a list and then you just cancel everything in the list but I have yet to find a scenario where I've needed this.

Actually in the tech sector the price vs salary ratio is pretty consistent all over the UK. The prices are high in London but you earn a pile of cash. The inverse is also true elsewhere. London is one of those crazy places where a job jump

You're probably right but will it in 5 years is the question you need to ask? You always pay over the odds to rent initially but due to inflation and relative property prices it becomes good value rather quickly.

It's a trade off. I live in London, UK in a flat I rent for £950 pcm. This would cost me £379,000 to buy, at the very least as it's a relatively nice area. I could scrape the deposit and get a £379,000 mortgage but the insurance,

It's a call for attention. Someone has asked a difficult question. If there are enough eyes on the question, the answer might be different than if there weren't.

We're very good at what we do and plan carefully. No joke. That's it. 2-4s downtime for a 40Gb svn repo migration is what we aim for. To be fair we haven't patched that box's kernel since it was rebooted but we really do

No. Our internal source control server is more reliable than our local shared ethernet with cable backup combined with the reliability of github. We've had 43 minutes (scheduled and unscheduled combined) downtime in the last 11 years a

I'll sell you some magic beans to put in a bowl in your listening room for $250 that will fix that. (No shit - someone actually sells those)

As a former herder of dedicated servers purchased for this sort of thing, you'd be surprised how difficult it is telling people they need to pay to upgrade it. We had a client with an old supermicro P3 running red hat 7 (not RHEL) unti

A million times this. Also some regularly missed advantages of shared hosting are that its usually available in the same country as you, is portable unlike PaaS solutions, doesn't require lots of legwork and tends to come with a shit t
