I'm the same. My son struggled with his motor skills when he was little so we got him interested in gymnastics and he loves it and it's really helped. I'd like to do the same for my daughter when she's old enough but I&#

Definitely. That's part of my point about understanding the problems and limitations. After thirty-something years of programming I've seen numerous languages (or model) touted as the one true language that will save us all.

I was thinking about this today in reference to Elixir. I've noticed there seems to be less of the unalloyed fanboyism, and more realism in people's reported experiences with it now they've had a chance to use it for a few ye

Another area of complexity in presidential elections is the electoral college. People see the headline polling numbers and assess them as if it were a straight popular vote with a simple outcome, when I'm reality the end result is high

I've managed to avoid it, but several friends have had it and still have some level of impact on their health and fitness months later. As an overwight man in my 40s I was nervous before, but with all these 'long' effects I&#

If you are a developer, I would also suggest giving https://typing.io/ a try. I got and ergodox ez a couple of years ago and it really helped me get used to the layout.

Yeah, in a saner and safer world, we'd have little nuclear powers plants running a lot of things. If we can generate clean hydrogen I think an awful lot of things that are not easily converted to battery will get a lot cleaner, I think

That's good to know that the IMO are upping the standards. Although looks like there's a bit of s loophole that might be creating unintended consequences https://www.cruiselawnews.com/2019/09/articles

How about this for selecting. Colour scheme: just display a colourblind was test and ask the user to select the one they can or can't read. Then you don't have to rely on them knowing what the different types are at all.

Essentially yea, if cruise ships used high quality fuel and always hooked up to a local power grid when docked many/most of the pollution issues would be significantly improved, at least for the local pollution induced problems. Howeve

They use a lot of energy, but more importantly they get that from something called bunker fuel. BF is the cheapest, nastiest form of fuel available. They are a significant source of pollution in parts of many port cities like London (especi

I did the lights for a production of R&G, it was one of the few productions I've done where I had to be careful not to get too engorssed or I'd miss a cue. Such a good play.

This has been part of the standard simptoms list in the UK for a while, I've even heard it described as more reliable than a fever/temperature. The confirmation for it came in part from the work done by kings College London using

I live in Bath, an old-ish European city. It's dense, with narrow roads, many awkward junctions, and lots of onstreet parking that makes many roads one lane in places. I've often thought that FSD was basically impossible here with

Has there been any research into the vitamin d levels of patients after periods in hospital? Do vit d levels fall quickly enough for being admitted to hospital (and so being indoors) to become an issue in treatment?

The way scientists are measured reminds me of how teachers get measured by their students test scores. In both cases we reward or penalise them based on some measure that is often only partially in their control, then people get angry when

That comment still gives me nightmares. But also makes me really glad I don't work on such a codebase. Ours has some history to it, and a few areas that are a bit gnarly, but even they sound idilic in comparison.

This makes a lot of sense, and chimes with my gut feel based approach of following up a long and difficult bit of work with some quick wins or bug fixes before thinking about starting anything else big.

That makes sense. For a period of my career I did some Prolog and always liked the way pattern matching allowed you to write extremely descriptive code. Funnily enough, I think pattern matching is one of the most exciting things to happen i

What do you think it is about Elixir that leads to beautiful/maintainable code? I keep thinking about giving it a try.
