You seem to have called it a fruit flu twice... Was that a typo or do you actually mean to call it a flu instead of a fly?!

It could also mean 3 meters. Context is everything. The lowercase m would be more widely understood in this context.

Have you read the full article? It is using billiards as a metaphor for an intrinsic understanding of physics.

Cue ball control is the key. Anyone can pot balls when the cue ball is in the right place, but keeping that cue ball under control is what most people struggle with.

Class of 92 are indeed very special. Williams is still doing amazingly well - just got to the final of the Saudi masters, and nearly clinched the deciding frame. Not bad for someone nearly 50 years old!

English billiards does in fact have pockets, carom billiards does not.

A more difficult variant is snooker, played on a 12ft x 6ft table with tighter pockets and smaller balls. It can be frustrating to play well, but when you "get it", it really is a beautiful game to play, and a real mental workout.

HTML is often not flexible or capable enough. JS exists for a reason, and is an integral part of the web. Without it, you will struggle to express certain things online and lean JS sites can be really quite nice to use (and are generally in

I only go to LinkedIn when I feel the urge to cringe. Everything about it is utterly cringeworthy. Even the marketing tools (which I was forced to use by a marketing company we hired) were so bad they made my skin crawl. The link related fu

Cloud flare has it, they are aiming for it. Definite income vs possible income cannot be priced in the same way, assuming the CF valuation is justified.

Could it be possible to run containers within this environment? I ask because I personally think we are headed towards a future where web browsers are just sandboxed container environments where we download and run containers for each app..

I don't know why I feel this will be necessary for EVs to become mainstream. Batteries simply don't last long enough, and even if they do, they degrade over time. Making them easily swappable seems to be a reasonable solution to t

Swappable low cost sodium batteries are where I think cars may end up in the future. Literally, pull into a swapping station, and have your battery swapped out for a charged one in a couple of minutes. Probably faster than fuelling up your

Perhaps, but you're missing my point. Governments are out of touch with what people need and even if they're trying to help, they'll get things very wrong (for example, those annoying cookie popups we've all had forced u

I would replace government with people: people should collectively demand what you have described. This ultimately is a function of education, which will get better as technical knowledge becomes more widely and freely available. As you say

I wish authors would include the full form in brackets after the first use of an acronym in a text.

I remember back in 2013 when I first drove a Tesla, they were really pushing the self driving features at my local dealership. I can't help but feel like they were overselling their capabilities, and their staff could well have made a

Perhaps, but in my experience, this is often what happens when you have too many cooks. People like to build corporate empires by having more subordinates. Those subordinates need to justify their existence somehow. Bloated, inefficient sof

Yes, we absolutely are there: https://youtu.be/D3oRN5JNMWs?feature=shared My professor (Sir Michael Brady) at university 14 years ago set up a company to do this very thing, and he already had reliable models back before 20

Being a complacent market leader may come back to bite them in the backside. The world is getting more technical. People will demand openness. If I buy a product, I should have reasonable flexibility to use it how I want. Even if I break it

The app store and the Google play store are absolute garbage as far as I'm concerned. Whatever protection they claim to offer is utterly bogus. If anything, they make it easier to leak personal information to random app makers, who, li

Does the second group also end up skewing remuneration in their favour? For example, a tech company where managers are paid over the odds, while the passionate engineers who do a lot of the technical heavy lifting are paid less.

I once went to that restaurant in 2001 as a 12 year old kid who was invited to speak at a children's charity event held there. It was a cool day out with a teacher from my school and couple of kids from a few years above. Afterwards, t

For me, this shows fear and a sense of insecurity within Apple. They've built their walled garden and are doing whatever they can to protect it. They've probably even convinced users that it's in their interest. Yet, they kn

PWAs can absolutely be as good as native, however they aren't being given a chance due to reasons unrelated to technology. I personally believe it is the protection of Apple's fees that is driving its poor implementation of web te
