Maybe it's my anthropocentric brain, but the animals move realistically while the people still look quite off. It's still an unbelievable achievement though. I love the paper seahorse whose tail is made (realistically) using the p

This looks like it could be modelled by a petri net. Your states are typed tokens, and tasks (ie transitions) are triggered by the presence of tokens and produce tokens as output. IMHO petri nets are the most widely applicable method for mo

I worked at an oil major which was fairly well organized, but I think much of that was down to the nature of the business which is both highly integrated and highly regulated.

If you're referring to the Pencil Museum in Keswick, I found that fascinating. But that's probably just me tbh ...

Wow, the name Watcom takes me back 30+ years. My first job was porting actuarial valuation software in FORTRAN from System370 to PCs. We used Watcom for the FORTRAN and the C orchestration part, hosted on OS/2. Probably the top C compi

One of the good things about it is that using asynchrony is optional. If you don't have to call out anywhere to build the response, processing can all stay in the handler's calling thread. If you do, you can return a future and ha

Good story, retold in typical style by Horrible Histories here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=289IDfmm8fM A bit OT, but "The Last English King" by Julian Rathbone is an excellent historical novel surrounding the

The "ceremony" is just the for loop and the t.Run( ... ) call. Everything else you'd need to do in Java too.

Tools like lockbox are not necessary, nginx, caddy, etc or heck even a normal 70 line python3 fastapi based script works just fine and should be more extendable than lockbox. Well in that case you could make that argument about any piece

This is a great landing page IMHO. The first item is not some fancy graphic, but a short paragraph explaining exactly what it is. I had a vague idea about rclone already, but it took about 5 seconds of reading to get a good understanding a

Semi-related: I have been reading Ben Macintyre's history of Colditz, the WW2 POW camp. The prisoners used to intercept incoming packages that contained secret information and tools used for escaping, to remove it before the packages w

Content-addressable, not code addressable. It's kind of like global, distributed memoization (IIUC). edit: not memoization, just hashing the AST of a function.

In what way are they different? "Different" for me is Lisp or Haskell. D is a crossover between C++ and Java in my (albeit limited) experience.

I fully endorse your first option, how I used to work. In my latest team, all PRs go through an overworked "code owner" so end up backing up and getting out of date. Breakages in PRs from merging latest master get sent back to me

IIRC it was the higher acceleration value of Ariane5 that the old code wasn't expecting that caused the problem. Some fuzz testing could have worked, I suppose.

The figure may even have been cut as a motivational act by the mustering army itself. Not so far away are the Fovant monumental badges, cut for similar reasons by WW1 soldiers preparing to go to France. https://en.wikipedia.org&#
