I agree it's a very long prelude, but I'm glad I read it; I learned about a couple of different literary genres I hadn't heard of before, and I found it useful to understand what Ishiguro was doing.

Good review, but I felt like some things about the plot were spoiled. I think sometimes "literature" reviewers feel that plot isn't really important, and so spoiling it doesn't matter.

I'd love to know how long it takes a typical Galois engineer to analyze a piece of code. The SAW tool sounds like it helps a lot. I found them at some point when they were hiring and I was (passively) looking for work, and they look li

Worth a try! I've also thought of adding, "There are three questions in this email, can you find them all?" but that seems a bit snarky.

Quite agree -- I really enjoyed my linguistics classes in college, and if I hadn't discovered programming, might have become a linguist.

There was a pretty good sci-fi story in (IIRC) Omni, wherein someone figures out how to make a computer that can scan in a document and produce a clear, simple summary. The main character is a friend of the inventor, who can't seem to

Do they have a solution to the (seemingly intractable) problem of people who only read up to the first question in an email, respond to that, and ignore the rest?

Thanks very much! Adding: bindkey '^q' push-line works perfectly. Day improved!

Yes please -- this sounds great, I used to use `ctrl-u` then `ctrl-y` with bash, and that doesn't work with zsh, alas. I tried searching for `zsh "park" command` and got nothing useful.

I remember learning AspectJ, and finally deciding it was a query language for your code.

I know AWS lets you just deploy a docker container, so you can use whatever tools you want -- anyone know about Azure and Google cloud?

Really enjoyed learning charcoal when I was learning to draw and paint -- particularly sanding vine charcoal, and rubbing the dust produced into paper to produce a mid-gray, then drawing, for darker bits, and erasing for lighter areas. It&#

You mention this briefly, but it's worth pointing out that the CM-2 (and, I believe, the CM-1 as well) was indeed a single-bit-at-a-time processor, but the word length was arbitrary, not 32 bits. You could, in *Lisp (and maybe the low

Thanks for doing homebrew -- been using it for years!

Anyone had good luck with beans other than chickpeas? My wife is allergic to some legumes, including (alas!) chickpeas. My apologies if I missed something obvious on the site. I just see that kidney bean liquid isn't good enough.

Cool, thanks! Can you add whole wheat flour?

That is BY FAR the best product video I've ever seen. Wow. "Really makes me excited for the product."... well said! I think that's what marketing is supposed to do.

I had a similar experience with my iPhone 7+. I had forgotten I'd turned it off. I picked it up, and wondered if the home button was broken, because it wasn't moving when I pressed it. Then I realized it was off, and had that OH

Ouch... if that's the case, how can the FCC do anything to find the scammers? It sounds like it's technically impossible (and maybe also politically, alas).
