Back then we still had fairly 'proper' IT classes at schools, at least here on the UK, so quite a few non-geek (certainly, as I saw myself at that age) kids would know at least roughly what binary was. Nowadays, I suspect less so.

Whereas I've had Logitechs fail in months whilst my daily mouse at work has been the same Razer for over a decade now. It doesn't look very nice though, I'll concede...

This is an absolutely valueless comment, so I apologise: but I just wanted to thank you for writing one of most sincerely level-headed responses I've seen in relation to Brexit, and from someone 'over the fence' at that. I as

I fondly remember the almost bazaar-like experience of perusing the tape racks in local Spanish supermarkets, trying to work out which (if any) of the offerings were worth my couple of hundred peseta investment. Sometimes lucky with a great

Ha, so it's better than Fastmail's own Android client? I may well give it a go, then, as the Fastmail app (much as I love their service) is 'not great'.

Actually, it's over a quarter yeast extract. To be honest, having just checked, I think that's less than it was a while back, as I'm sure I recall being disappointed upon seeing the ingredients, and putting a jar back on the

Not sure about Miso and Marmite being similar - I'm in the 'Hate Marmite' camp, but I have to stop myself spooning too much dark miso paste direct from the jar when I'm using it in cooking (and boy, do I try to use it in

I must try an anechoic chamber one day - I must! I never got the 'nee-naw nee-naws' from DMT or Ayahuasca when I did such things, but I absolutely did when going deep on Nitrous Oxide. DMT was always entirely (and oh my gosh so ab

Apparently not. It's a long-time since, but I remember adults largely couldn't hear it (not too surprising) but I had friends my age who hadn't a clue what I was on about either - a sentiment shared by at least one other neig

At least within the house - we moved around a lot, but I lived in a few three storey stonework houses, and could generally tell from 'the other end' of the house if the TV was on. I don't recall hearing the same noise from fr

Aye, I've been thinking these systems could be useful for hoisting dumb mass such as water in particular. Water's good for human consumption, hygiene, conversion to fuel (or ejection mass for electric motors?) and even as radiatio

I've got pretty bad - although not constant - tinnitus in my left ear after a particularly loud NYE too late in life. What I find interesting though, is that I distinctly remember as a young kid living in the countryside that I found i

Sub-GAI algorithms don't need an competence in 'fine' art to derive vicious selection criteria for processing meatbags. It's not the compiled art processing here that terrifies me, it's the complexity of logic under

Or Newcastle, or Durham, or St Andrews, or St Martin's (if you're that way inclined), or... . I know, the list is longer than Oxford and Cambridge. But it's a neat shorthand.

In the UK at least, this is only true for a certain type or - shudder - class of person. For the vast majority of people, just getting the right course is the reason for the choice of university to attend. Certainly, for the vast majority o

Am I the only person here to think this is utter bullshit and some amazingly-developed prank? Otherwise, my stomach is in knots, because this is terrifying.

I'd avoid using the repeated phrase 'the best' as it's hard (/impossible) to qualify practically or in terms of comparative metrics. I'm sure what you've done is very good, but I'd be very wary of cla

Aside from humans, would this radiation not also screw with dyes, paints and possibly plastic coherence in a room?

You can also just drag and drop those stupid cookie demands onto the address bar and it'll load the Youtube link direct. An effing stupid move to force cookies on a promotional site like this. Foot, shot.

I think you're mistaking easier for quicker, but I can see that neither of us are going to agree with the other here.

I think it is you who misinterpret the point. As a counter - are there things in life other people were better at compared to you? Perhaps painting or writing or cooking? That 'easier to parse syntax' of yours might actually be tr

Curiously, not all minds are alike or equal so perhaps there's scope for using tools such as Scratch to teach coding principles to kids who might not be wired to so easily Get It as you evidently are.
