"I feel if OCaml had got its act together ..." The great thing is we have choice. We have a huge number of ways to express ideas and ... do them! I might draw a parallel with the number of spoken languages extent in the UK (only

That probably is true by some measure. There are a lot of cameras in the UK - rather more than when I was a nipper! I'm 55 and pretty well travelled and I've noted similar levels of coverage in many EU countries and the US and CA

I have two cameras at my front door - one is the doorbell and the other looks towards the door, which is on the side of a porch.

I'm going to have to read that MF.com link fully and properly but I can't help but notice this: "That’s it. That’s the Advice Process in its entirety." (speak to everyone involved). Presumably anyone with the term Managi

I was merely noting that you used a grammatical rule I have not seen in quite a long time. sigh 5 -> five, english -> English (we are not Germans who insist on all nouns be capitalised but why not try it for a proper noun), novel -&

I would suggest your CTO needs some gentle reminders about risk management and how the cloud really works. If your boss is that daft, its probably a sign to bail out. Remember to do your own personal due diligence. Due dill is not somethi

I can certainly attest that cycling around the Netherlands was a joy during the late 70s and 80s. I lived in West Germany on and off, mostly in the north and close to the border. A lot of German roads had very decent cycle lanes too. It w

I'm still getting to grips with all this AI stuff but I do know SIP n RTP rather well. Your project looks ideal for me to play with. My initial project will be to replace my aging parent's and my home FreePBX IVR with something a

No offense, but how about evaluating the project on its own merits? In my experience AI based CS agents are not deployed to actually provide customer service. That does not differ too much from the "old school" phone call centre

Enamels vs acrylics. Brush vs airbrush vs air gun (not to mention sponge, cloth and even toothbrush). Your air brush can have one or two controls - one for the amount of compressed air and one for amount of paint. For models like airplan

OP uses bold text for emphasis like an ill-advised user of a marker pen and deploys a very bizarre collection of quotation marks. Sometimes "..." and sometimes “...”. If you are going to studiously ignore convention, please do it

"few do trick". Are you implying, with that statement, that few words might trick a reader into a different interpretation from the one they might reach otherwise or that few words are enough (do the trick)? I'm all in favour

I think this is absolute genius. If you are ever going to get to grips with optimizing something, why not do the opposite first or as a foil? How often do you really fenangle your database (or other system) properly? Are your performance e

Self hosting email will always be niche and frankly it was pretty niche in the noughties too. I do find that if you carefully curate an IP address ... now that's the real problem. Most IP blacklists aggregate and generally end up roll

"... someone says the words. A CMO. A digital lead. A brand manager. ... it’ll be an SPA." Why not spell out CMO and SPA and a civilian such as myself will not have to toddle off and dig out a search engine? If you are going to ge

As soon as someone starts ascribing towards a "normal" and using the pronoun "them", warning bells should go berserk.

I lived on a couple of one way streets in West Germany. One was horse shoe shaped (it connected twice to the same main road) and was wide enough for two way traffic. Thinking back, there was no discernible reason for EBS. Traffic was min

"I was always under the impression that if you pull your meat at let's say 128" Please state units. In en_GB (at least) "pulling your meat" is ... ambiguous.

I remember the first time I saw Gewerbegebiet on a street sign whilst out cycling in West Germany with the fam. and thinking: "that's a proper word". It took me a while to learn how to pronounce it. It's not really hard
