In all such cases (and there certainly are a few) I decline to participate. Yes, Virginia, it really is just that simple.

We just had a Porcupine break into the protective cages to dig up and eat our entire Potato crop last night. It can be challenging.

A week? Don't make me laugh. Recovery from burnout took me 18 months and left scars I carry to this day (decades later). A week is an insult. Imagine breaking an arm or something and being told you get a week to recover. Why is it th

I recall from many years ago a photocatalytic process that used Iron/Iron-Oxide in a CSP solar setup. The solar tower superheated the water, splitting it; the O2 was absorbed by the Fe, leaving the H2 to be harvested; then the FeO2 was

If it's a useful and helpful tool (and I assume it is from what you've said), what's the problem? It's not as though the existing tool is suddenly going to stop working.

If you distrust the vehicle to the point where you experience fear, why are you still driving it?

Speak softly and carry a can of spray-paint. (Hairspray might work just as well and be more defensible.)

Someone did eventually bring out a floppy-drive peripheral for the QL, but it was basically too late to save the platform. Also, iirc, you needed to be drop-dead rich to afford one.

Well said! I've long maintained that Visual Basic set back the state-of-the-art in graphical user interfaces by (at least) a decade. The original intent and purpose of graphical UIs was direct manipulation of objects on screen. VB tu

No: The BASIC on the QL was one of the best BASICs ever. What killed the QL was imho those fucking awful microdrive cartridges. Unreliable, slow and quick to fail.

FWIW I've been fucked over by Standard Bank in South Africa for just this. It's not just "shady" operators.

What is so awful about "scuttlebutt"? In the old days, when ships were wooden, real sailors were pressed, etc., etc., every ship had a water container available to the sailors -- a water butt -- bigger than a puncheon but smaller

Good point. I was more-or-less assuming you'd want to see the results from one variant before deciding how to proceed, but you're right - parallel testing would be quicker, if "less efficient" (in some sense).

Headline is wrong. Article is about PATENTS, not PATTERNS.

"completed and tested 55,000 iterations of our technology" Over the 10 years they state it took them, that means over 15 versions/iterations per day (including Sundays and holidays). Colour me puzzled. I wonder just what it

I had a chuckle at the clicky "Merlin Labs develops autonomous 55-craft King Air fleet" link at the bottom of the article. When algorithms display their stupidity.
