What I'm saying is that the often unconsidered third party is the parent of the executed. That's a pain that will never go away. Is it their fault their child murdered and was executed? No. Will it feel that way? Absolutely. From

As a parent, there would be no closure in my child's death, no matter what they have done. I look at my 2 daughters and see the most beautiful girls I've ever laid eyes upon. For one of them to commit such a heinous crime would ru

The family of the criminal also suffers. If my child was a murderer, I would grieve. If my child was consequently executed I would grieve even more. That's an incredible amount of pain for something I didn't do. After it's sa

That was interesting. Looking at the amount of time involved, I can see why. To make parchment, an animal hide has to be limed, which is an eighteen hour process to start with, scraped and then dried at room temperature under tension.

The problem is knowing when enough is enough. When doing work for a client, asking myself "would a client be happy to see this?" helps. I produce good work but do so in good time. This might work well with side-projects, where the

For an ad network, why not set up niche websites in-house to serve on first? This involves time developing good content and ranking in search engines but could solve one side of the chicken-egg problem. You could help yourself by making a n

Thank you for this - git-gutter looks awesome. I wasn't aware of staging hunks too so I've learned about 2 things :)

I had the same conversation with a private hire in Salford. He said that it's easy for someone to strangle you from behind with the seatbelt. My dad never brought that curious aspect up (ex-taxi driver of ten years) but you can pick up

One thing I hated about magit was that I couldn't stage multiple files with a region or similar. I'm currently on my phone for the rest of the evening so I won't have chance to check - if you notice this has arrived in your t

Side anecdote: I get the feeling I'm judged as less capable mentally in person. I wonder whether it's because of my appearance, my voice or perhaps because I am less capable mentally. Confusing world to live in when I get such con

This is great. I'll have to brush up on my C too to port. Two birds, one stone :) thank you!

Whhy do you think it's a success in the UK? There are many that don't think it's working at all. I'm not criticising your position, I'm just intensely curious.

For some of the websites I have had to maintain in Joomla, it would be much more efficient for the company if I converted to Wordpress and the writers use that. Wordpress is easy to use. With plugins, such as advanced custom fields, you can

I've also seen very simple object systems built purely using closures in Lisp. I can't remember where I've seen it, but it usually involves the bank account example. Since no other Lisp features were involved,until you start

You could implement looping by implementing an instruction, say 'JMP', that takes an 'address' as a parameter that modifies the ip. Branching can be implemented similarly with an instruction called 'BNZ', which

What is your definition of 'code'?

It's a play on words. "By gum" is a popular phrase in the north of England, Lancashire I think. It's perhaps old fashioned, both my granddads were from Preston and used it a lot but rarely hear it nowadays among young fo

Oh yes. Curiosity is my sole driver, not economic reasons. It sounds like a tonne of fun. Just wondered what everyone else's take on it is.

I think there's a bit of crossover with prayer so it wouldn't be fair to give you flak because of the association. For example, if you're reciting a typical prayer, e.g the Our Father, you're focusing your mind on one th

My wife's mother was unable to leave hospital until my wife put on weight. My adopted son lost tonnes of weight and only gained after bottle feeding. My daughter simply could not be taken away from the breast. That was enough for me to

Yes, having a child changes you fundamentally. The difference in me has been dramatic. Despite all the stress, I am overall far more emotionally stable. I'm more industrious. There's no stress like having next to no sleep and havi

Same experience. We noticed that things were not going well for our daughter, Maggie, too. I told her many times "Look, if you don't feel right about this, we can go on bottles". 6 days she endured, Maggie needing to be latch

In some cases, the pressure to breastfeed can do more harm than good. If the parent is feeling stressed, as it can be an extremely intense and also painful experience, the bonding process can suffer. More importantly, some mothers just cann

If there is an oversight your part, the amount of rebounded embarrassment is far smaller. Bad feelings on both sides are minimised no matter what the outcome with your suggestion.

Hrm, I wouldn't say that. There were laws which discriminated against Catholics for centuries afterwards in England. It was only after the Emancipation act in the nineteenth century where things started to improve and even then it too
