I have watched and read his opinions and yes, he has, in my opinion, veered into pseudoscience. It's not exactly without precedence for an established and respected scientist to go all philosophical with age. I would put his current po

It's a shame to see so many comments engaged in this kind of pseudoscience. There's no evidence that consciousness is anything other than a state arising from the physical processes in our bodies. I'm open minded to hypothesi

I was sitting at a table at a sports club the other day where a young fella had put down his phone. It lit up and I saw a terrifying stack of notifications, 20+ messages per app, more apps than space on the lock screen. If I get one then I

I guess there's a different though - if its for a customer then its potentially something that you should be charging for. If the "customer" is actually another department in your company and the automation helps then the com

You cook 3-5 times a month? Did you mean week? Otherwise that sounds like a crazy amount of eating out or getting take out food. We cook 5-7 times a week.

Islands with a total population of 100k. Lack of demand and probably no machinery to melt and process steel, expensive electricity/power to do that kind of processing, lack of other inputs, and a population without the expertise. Given

This seems like a non problem. If people are reading a tech website then they probably have some tech related interests. If they're reading an article about bicycles then... People don't like seeing their "interests" fol

It's not a question worth asking. Good for what anyway? If you're making art for profit then it's good enough if you're selling it. Otherwise, what does it matter if anyone but you and/or the folks you specifically

The nation states in the EU agreed to join knowing they'd negotiate with third party countries as a bloc. And they benefit from that. The EU is doing to the UK what it's meant to do, protecting the interests of EU nation states. T

Yes, it's hard to explain to people just how much of a saving being in the EU makes on regulations. It outweighs having the odd regulation that you don't agree with. If the UK does move away from EU regulations then they'll h

I don't think either of those issues, namespaces and monkey patching, are things that make the language harder to learn. You require a file, the file's namespaces are available. How often do libraries modify your runtime with monk

I can't recall when I last used a straw. Years ago. I don't drink soda or sugary drinks often though and that seems to be where they're most popular. It's probably good to avoid both. Soda in moderation. I'm pretty

That seems silly. Weaker by what measure? Russia is weaker than before the war in many measurable ways. Putin is weaker in connection to that. He couldn't even leave to visit an ally because neither wanted to be in a difficult position
