Don't think so. There's a similar coloured dot around about the "10 o'clock" position near a white cloud. Probably a digital artifact, and/or possibly from high-energy particle. Edit - also the uniform turquois

I like that he speculates a positron is an expanded proton. Why not? Probably less outrageous than antimatter.

Perhaps they should, but I don't think they could from an employers point of view. I'm over 40 and would love to work a 30 hour week. But there is a cost for hiring each employee and so it's better to have fewer employees wor

Well OK it spirals around, but isn't RNA/DNA really just linear? To access, you need an enzyme to walk it forwards or backwards and there are no other options that I know of. (I'm not a biologist)

Yes. And I tend to use it outside of interviews too. It feels like a good way to communicate the context of something and my intent. Those things open up more avenues of discussion. But it could be annoying if you're trying to reach a

I've read a few good Jooq blog posts, and am becoming a convert to Jooq. The tool seems to work well as a SQL DSL and helps me write testable code. Instead of an ORM that insists everything is an object, I can be honest and admit that

Meh - we get on fine with paper and plastic money in many places. Or digital. I'm glad I don't have to buy dinner with a big bag of platinum, gold, silver, copper coins etc.

Fair point. So, I look forward to the follow ups :) If it's just the pretty, shiny stuff that makes it valuable, then gold will always have some value (bar nuclear synthesis and Star Trek replicators). If it's scarcity, then there

"Gold is not useful" Gold is useful. Good thermal conductivity and low chemical reactivity with many corrosive compounds. Using it for money and decoration is perhaps the least sensible thing.

Well OK, but I'm not sure I get the point. Surely just feed all logs into Splunk or Logstash or similar? Most monitoring systems have plugins to alert via Slack now.

I used to go through Holborn every morning at 8.50am and I could see them preparing the experiment a few weeks in advance. They placed people in all the corridors to count throughput. However, as I was changing from the Central line to the

I had the pleasure of briefly working with Martin at LMAX. He definitely knows how to get performance out of a system, and although it's not been updated recently I'd recommend his old blog for those that haven't seen it yet

Well the planet Earth has a nice shield with exactly this issue. Particles are channeled to the north and south poles, where they hit the atmosphere and generate the colourful aurora in the sky :) So perhaps there's going to be a cool

That reminds me of the Arthur C Clarke story 2010, where he says they used ammonia instead to avoid the boil off.

Thermal management in space is a big issue. The ISS has big radiators on the long truss, and lots of plumbing for cooling. For a superconducting magnetic shield, it depends how much power is used to maintain it. MgB2 supports high currents
