Something like a Thinkpad X1 extreme? Or maybe have a look at the P series - I vaguely remember something like the P51s might fit your bill - the modern equiv. They have a better keyboard than any previous macbook, and up to a 4K screen,

As a haematologist, I find my faith in how well something is going to work is often inverse to how new or expensive it is. Whereas I see many patients who really seem to put faith in a phase II drug or something only recently licensed. Ne

So I'm not wrong then? You're needing to cast an Int into a time duration in order to divide a time duration?

Has that changed? I couldn't before!

by dm319 6y ago
When I realised I couldn't divide a time period by a number or integer, the penny dropped that different languages excel at different things.

If Europe are so far behind in vaccinations, and these clots are being seen in those <60, why have these people been vaccinated?

I feel like some of it is to do with the way R's generics work - being lisp-based and making use of promises. It allows for nice syntax / code while interfacing the C backend.

This read is amazing. This feels as much an exploration as visiting another planet or going to the extremes of the earth.

I was a similar age! I didn't have any form of internet, but a friend of mine was somehow able to source MODS, and they were the main music I listened to. Copying some MODS onto a floppy disc so that I could play them on OctaMED at h

As a side note - I think humans should require retaking their test on a regular basis. Maybe every 5 years, and just a short 'refresher' test on the way home from work. It would help find those who simply can't drive safely

The double buffered smooth scrolling and 4-channel sequencing sound of my Amiga A1200 will always hold a place in my heart. I'm glad that people have started preserving this community, and over the years I did wonder when or if people

In some ways it's quite conceptual about the best way to use vim. Inside the cover there's a quote "I thought I knew vim, but practical vim has massively improved my code-wrangling productivity".

'Family' and 'human life' does not over-ride all else, which is obvious in cases of abuse or neglect. It's more complicated when medical experts and parents disagree on what is best for the child. What you underst

Another relevant point is that England has changed its organ donation policy to opt-out [1], with Scotland to follow next month. Wales is 'deemed consent', which doesn't sound too different to opt-out. Northern Ireland is o

Yes, the publicity around the case overshadowed that this wasn't a case about health resources, but about what was right and best for the patient.

I also started on Linux without knowing how to program, but simply having that accessibility and ability meant that I had the option of quicker ways for doing batch things. I would agree with the author that Linux can be a gateway to progr

Yes, some areas are at different stages of the vaccine rollout. One jab provides excellent protection. 10 days after the pfizer jab gives you around 90-95% protection. Most of my colleagues who are more knowledgeable on vaccine science f

The data for age group specific data is available freely in the UK. I did a quick analysis in R, and even though all over 75 and most over 70 have been vaccinated, I didn't see any increase in the rate of descent compared to other age

There are a lot of analyses already about what has gone wrong with the European vaccine effort. It seems to be partly a mixture of being a bit stingy with procurement, being skeptical of new RNA vaccines, putting too much stock in sanofi a

Ok, DNA changes occur, but physiological writing to the DNA does not happen in humans. I'll give you DNA repair, BCR/TCR rearrangement, meiosis, and also the more recently discovered LINE-1 retrotransposons - but they occur at sp

Read only memory was written once. An imprint of history is not memory, in much the same way that fossils, stars, the environment is not memory. Human DNA has not been written to. It is edited in only very specific circumstances - DNA rep

I'm not sure you can call DNA memory. Yes, it contains information. But you can't write to it.

There is a growing body of thought that capitalism and, more specifically, continued growth, is unsustainable. A lot of the literature focuses around the environment [1], but we should also think about businesses that perform a useful comm

I have such fond memories of Symbian. I had the Nokia E90 communicator. It felt like such a powerful device for the time. And I mean the true sense of powerful - not processing power, but the ability of a pocket device capable of multita

I stupidly mistook the headphone socket of my Pi 1B and plugged in some sort of DC current into it. As a puff of smoke appeared I remembered it took microusb power. Anyone know if mine is reparable?

My frustrations with roller balls is that they seem to break very easily. Writing in on a single sheet of paper on a hard surface seems to break mine without fail. I'm currently using a Lamy Swift with the medium refill.
