You're just cleared up a minor mystery I never bothered to investigate (BT, UK). Thanks. Flipping DNS to 8.8.4.4 fixed it for now but I really need to move this connection to A&A.

It's like using a classifier to sort biopsies from most-likely to least-likely to be Really Bad News. A human will get to them all eventually, but you can at least fast-track the ones that are almost certainly Really Bad News. (I think

Neither would I, but they're very good questions. If I was OP, I'd want to make sure my answers were watertight.

Focus is a muscle. Gotta build it up. Block everything, read books. (And I really should practice what I preach, here).

I'm reading this in the voice of the mad scientist from a 1950s B-Movie. (Seriously, it's only a few hundred words).

I don't think it is, but I'm really interested to see someone try it (I'm also lazy). (And a more philosophical question: if it's not enough, what does that mean for continuous deployment?)

The continuous deployment folks release into production if all the tests pass. That's what I was thinking about with that comment, really - it's not so much about the origin of the code, it's about tests-as-specification, and

Suggestion: Now take the code away, and have the chatbot generate code that passes the tests it wrote. (In theory, you get a clean-room implementation of the original code. If you do this please ping me because I'd love to see the resu

Writing some tests then having the chatbot iterate until its code passes the tests is something I should experiment with. Anyone tried that? ...anyone been brave enough to release that code into production?

I guess the sensible response is "what bias does being paid by Elsevier add that working for free for Elsevier doesn't add?" The external bias is clear to me (maybe a paper undermines something you're about to publish, f

Although I'm generally pro coming down hard on dark patterns, I'm uncomfortable with that last example. To me, it's just differentiation. You can have the bare-bones service (digital only) with a higher interest rate, or the

It's not about the west (or anyone in particular) doing the R&D, it's about the west providing a market for that R&D. Although having said that, I do note this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/articl

I consider myself a pretty egalitarian dude. That accent still makes me stand to attention internally. I hate it. (And I haven't had much exposure to it in real life, so I suspect it's because its baked into our media landscape)

How about a backlit keyboard, and if the next letter is probably a vowel, only the vowels are lit? I'd be quite interested in trying that. Maybe as a learning aid. But if you get your typing speed up, I can see it being visually very n

There's a couple of services where I prefer to use github for sso because I need them to integrate with data stored there, and it makes sense to me to "bundle" those accounts. But that's very much an edge case. Is this w

I know nothing about this, so I guess I'm asking "why can't we do this?": take some brain, throw it in a blender, and look for DNA the same way the ancient environmental DNA people do?

I think that might be a bit of an unfair caveat. People do real work on mobile OSes. They shop and communicate on mobile OSes, and occasionally organise revolutions. (Although I'm not sure why "Netraft confirms, Windows is dying&q

I see a lot of people say this about exceptions, and I don't have that problem. The exception bubbles up the stack until something catches it. Ok it's a different code path, but it's a very simple one (straight up). So you ei

Niantic have never made a secret of the fact that they're crowdsourcing to enrich their mapping data (eg data from Wayfarer and Ingress was used to seed Pokemon Go and Wizards Unite). I can't see it as a sudden gotcha, as it'

I still think wikipedia hit those "this is my passion" sites harder than social media did. What's the point of building a site about widgets, when 90% of people are just going to hit the Widget page on wikipedia?
