Weekly new hospital admissions is better. Case numbers are massively skewed by testing capacity.

You misunderstand. I 'modernized' to Python (similar to the GP). Then the Python version stopped being supported so I reverted to Fortran..

It depends on the language. Fortran last broke backwards compatibility with F90. F77 code is still 100% supported. C is similar.

How do you validate that the machine readable sqlite db has the same content as the human readable?

The only parenting experts have just one child. When they get their second they realise that all children are different.

Yep I learned the skills of how to take better care of my children! It improved my bond with them massively. Use the leave for that. It's what it's for. If you waste it 'learning' you won't get it back.

OK but the latest Fortran specification and compilers explicitly support all Fortran77 code and a really large amount of F66 as well. Will there be Python 3.8 interpreters in 2100? F77 will still compile and run better than it did in the 19

I've 'modernised' such an old program then come back a few years later, realised the 'modern' ones don't run anymore and reverted to the old Fortran version.

I bet the old Fortran versions are supported and compile decades after the 'newer' languages stop being supported...

Hang on are you actually accusing me of astroturfing???? How is this post allowed to stand? How do I flag it?

Absorption. Even with the fanciest microfiber reusable your babies bum is red raw after a few nights. Cotton would be appalling. I'm not speaking in the abstract. We tried reusables.

They do a serious assessment of every new technology to decide if it adds value to their society. Disposable nappies are one of the few technologies they decided to use.

Even the Amish use real nappies rather than messing around with reusables. Real nappies are better for baby and toddler bums, easier for already stressed parents and more hygienic. Reusables result in massive energy and water waste, they ar

I don't see climate change as a moral issue. To me it's a practical issue. Best case climate change will seriously mess up our way of life. Worst case is very bad. I'm not sure that we can grow and store enough trees to bring

Per seat licences are very standard. Interesting you've never encountered it when e.g. an MS Office 365 subscription is for so many devices (seats).

That was considered standard then in London. Royal Mail even had its own underground railways in London.

I'm politically very in favour of personal liberty. Climate change being a real and causing problems is a fact at this point (we are mainly working out how big the problems will be). I wish that some liberterian politicians would start

Luckily we were able to discuss it further and clear up some of the confusion. > The problem with the argument is, well, why doesn't this apply to everything? Massive changes happen all the time in the world, and anything could be a

You should speak to some more Geologists then. We really don't understand the systems of our planet and we are currently sticking a big spanner into them. Many of us are more concerned than we can publish - precisely because we don&#x2

Back then the continents were configured rather differently. That has a huge effect on hothouse vs icehouse regime. Right now we are in a continental configuration that should be icehouse (circumpolar currents with cold deep water). If we f

Assuming some negative feedback mechanism kicks in. There is a chance a positive feedback occurs, global warming spirals and Earth becomes uninhabitable. See Venus for an example.

I use both MS and Google at various locations. The result is also dismal... But we can all be exasperated together and vent about how awful it is without upsetting anyone.

Some people really hate GDPR. It has crushed the AdTech industry in Europe - I'm not sad about that but I do hope those people found other employment fast.

Let's hope the filesystem API does require user permission and that anyone building such a service follows the law. You know that GDPR doesn't require pop ups unless the service is doing something that isn't otherwise lawful?
