That’s what we do, I’m not sure there is another way other than making a request for the next page.

We are in the middle of interviewing for our first ever intake of graduates/juniors and this describes what we are looking for to a T. We are far more interested in problem solving, reasoning about systems and constraints, and an abili

I'm so glad I've read this today. I've been thinking about building a little SaaS product and one of the aspects putting me off was the VAT/Sales Tax problem. I'm a stickler for the rules, I don't feel comforta

We encourage our kids to do sport and music, but they choose which ones (and have both changed as they get older) and we stop if they are not enjoying it or getting something out of it. We are also careful about what teachers/schools t

By that point Reagan and Thatcher were close political allies and friends. From everything I’ve read about this that is the biggest part of it. She convinced him that this was a serious issue and that the scientists were not being hyperboli

This is all true, but I don’t see why that means she couldn’t get her head around the chemistry of how CFCs destroy ozone, or the mechanisms behind climate change, or indeed that she lacked the skills to understand the data and models she w

I’m not valorising her. Even her green period was short lived and ultimately ended due to her political convictions being stronger than her critical thinking skills. It makes it worse, that she had the knowledge to understand the impacts, b

Yes, that’s the point I was making. I believe he was sceptical initially. They were friends and she had enough scientific knowledge to understand the data being presented and the mechanisms behind it. Therefore she was able to convince him

Thanks. In a way it was good, we'd been planning for a long, slow decline into immobile sinility due to alzheimers and vascular dementia, but in the end he died at home in his sleep, two days after seeing all his kids. He was already g

My father passed away suddenly last week. I would love to be able to just get someone in to clear the house and "get on with my life", but it doesn't work like that when someone dies. Instead of being able to just grieve I sp

Another reason the Reagan took it seriously was that Margret Thatcher vouched for the science and that it was serious. Before becoming a politician Thatcher was a research chemist (she studied X-ray crystolography under Dorothy Hodgkin) and

Finding Lyx when I was at university saved me an immense amount of frustration while producing beautiful output. My girlfriend used Word 95 and I spent many more hours helping her format and fix her projects than I ever spent dealing with i

Yup. I try to learn as much history as I can, but I've not heard about that attack. Although from a quick google that particular one doesn't look like it was totally unprovoked, although it does appear to have been totally out of

I'm not saying it shouldn't be returned, I'm saying it won't be, not in the near future. The Parthanon marbles are a political touchstone/dog-whistle in the UK, especially for people who view the empire in a largely

I stand corrected, turns out I'm the weird one and other Brits do say fres-nel :) I wonder if it's a context thing. Thinking about it, other than science lessons, the theatre is the only place I've heard the word on a regular

by noneeeed 4y ago
Yeah. I'm British, I have zero problem returning the parthanon marbles. Of all the things in the British Museum it's probably the most obvious one to return: it's unique, it's location specific and it's part of some

When you say "anglo" are you mostly referring to north Americans? I've never heard a british person call is a Fres-nell. A fresnel is a commonly used form of light in theatres and studios and everyone I've ever worked wi

Great, thanks for that. Lots of reading to queue up :)

Oh, well that doesn't sound shady at all... I definitely feel like this is one of those situations where "if you have nothing to fear you have nothing to hide" actually applies. I couldn't get a mortgage without a thorou

The current UK government's resitance to dealing with it's part is (as a Brit) incredibly frustrating. Many of us want this dealt with properly, and to build better relationships but there is a strong resistance to any self-reflec

Could you share some of the books you've read? I think I have a better knowledge of the history than the average English person, but I'm also very conscious that I've probably only scratched the surface on a very complex and

Also, I've found that many non-english speakers learn a lot of their vocabulary from written sources, and so use "fancier" words than many of us native speakers would. It reminds me of time a colleague was on the bus. Someone

What's the difference between "attested" and "audited" in this context. That really sounds like a linguistic cop-out.
237.
by noneeeed 4y ago
Pretty much the latter. This wasn’t Jackass, it was a science programme and he was the resident engineer. In theory he knew what he was doing but underestimated the risks and paid the personal consequences.

I believe there are good health reasons to donate. I forget the details, but it stimulates positive processes in the body. I think the effect is marginal, but it's nice to know you get a small personal bonus from doing something nice f
