True, but it also works the other way, the variations that are currently less successful but have a mutation that avoids this antibody may be more virulent.

I can recommend mustard powder if you haven't used it, and try mixing up your own mustard to a strength you appreciate, with or without any vinegar, or other combinations (honey etc).

I agree. It's a question of marketing, and if the company thinks that it can attract people with a free offer and expect to convert them to paying customers via non-free add ons, then that's their call. If it turns out they'v

Not only that, but also a Vectrex! The technology was so impressive in the early 80s in arcade games that used it, my first experience of proper 3d graphics effects (e.g. battlezone and star wars). I'm not sure how the colour support w

I had a Vertibird - thanks for reminding me about it! There's something about toys like that at a formative period in your development that means that small details seem to stick in your memory. I can even now remember the feel or the

Agreed. Another cool feature is that the film is shot backwards - it unwinds the film, then shoots the film in reverse, winding it into the canister. This way, worst case, you loose one exposed frame if the back opens. It's this sort o

Another XPan owner here. Yes, it's a great camera, and the lenses are lovely, and the aspect ratio is really great, with plenty of interesting uses. I rarely use the 'normal' 3x2 mode you can select, but there is a certain jo

'Sometimes, you wouldn’t even notice the product difference between a massive success and tremendous fail, but for this tuning and what it does to the attrition rate' He throws this in as well, and I think it's if anything a

The BeagleBone is the basis for some really cool audio tech - https://shop.bela.io/ Bela includes a xenomai based linux distribution which gives you a hard realtime OS for audio whilst normal linux running as a xenomai task

It sounds like an amazing opportunity that you should grab. You both have the freedom to do something that normally would be closed to you due to constraints on both of your time (school and work). Assuming you can afford it, how about hiri

The basic idea is a good one, and the underlying tech (MLIR) is the right choice as it's an existing part of the LLVM infrastructure. The question, however, is why this particular IR implementation, given there are a number of ongoing

It does seem to be a common pattern here, that the old roads tend to name where they are going (which obviously only works in one direction!). For example, we have a 'London Road' which starts in the middle of Brighton, and takes

The key to the confusing house numbering is that when a long road crosses between multiple towns, the numbers start again from 1. So, to achieve the proximity effect, you want to find two towns which are close together, but which have expan

64 coder here too! The border changing thing has just reminded me how bad the development process was using the commodore assembler with a 1541 drive which was horribly slow. assemble, dump image, reboot, crash, reboot, load assembler, try

Yeah, good memories of that era. I had a 7500, which was a very upgradeable machine, taking lots of memory and CPU (and cache cards - remember them?). Mine had an annoying beat, like two fans running at slightly different speeds. Apart from

Right, and my point is that maintenance is a massive cost which is boring, and often overlooked when talking about the 'cost' of code. Slow code causing excessive CPU load or requiring multiple application servers is one cost, but

Sure, but this article is comparing two data structures which have the same big O complexity for the operation, O(N), and the comparison is about the relative performance of the two. My point is that worrying about this for a code path that

It's the usual premature optimisation problem. I'd personally go with whichever data structure makes your code easy to write and comprehend, then profile, then adjust as necessary. 99% of code doesn't need to be efficient, bu

I thought this was the reasoning behind Itanium, the idea that scheduling could be worked out in advance by the compiler (probably profile guided from tests or something like that) which would reduce the latency and silicon cost of implemen

It's going to very much depend on which field you are interested in. The subject is huge . If you want to study statistics or number theory, you're going to be looking at very different skills and knowledge, with only basically h

Definitely give backgammon a try with them. It's very easy to pick up the basics, I reckon any 9 and 11 year old will pick it up in an hour, if you avoid the doubling die and just play games out. A few evenings of this and before you k

I'm surprised the Germans didn't take any shots like this when developing the weapon. The idea of strapping a camera to the outside of the rocket doesn't sound particularly novel, but I guess they might have used telemetry to

If speed was held back by gate time, then sure, but i'd have thought that propagation delays between gates will be kind of relevant. Making the clock 1,000,000 times faster would mean the silicon would be 1,000,000 times shorter (in ea

That does seem like an astonishingly high number, but I guess there is quite a range of water requirements across the country. To put this in context, it's 10x the water we use in our house in the UK, and I don't think we're

There's something about the naming of USB that is great. I love how there are now something like a dozen 'universal' standards, and how the serial bus now has multiple lanes.

The K2000 was ahead of its time, and is still an amazing instrument today. I'm intrigued to discover that MAME is adding support for it, which sounds like an awesome project, I wonder if I can help in any way (K2000R is still here, but

It's a smart move by the entertainment industry to try to rebrand piracy as theft, as the public at large understand theft as a bad thing. Legally though I think it's 'copyright infringement' which sounds a lot less sexy
