Ah I never caught it was a joke.. thanks for clarifying. The 'real' Feynman technique sounds much more interesting and beneficial ;)

I'm not being funny, but I thought the Feynman technique was: - Write down the problem. - Think very hard. - Write down the answer. Still, this is a useful update to my understanding of his techniques :)

Indeed, yes, having a quick look at the repo I now see the point you make. Thank you for the pointers to the H/L utils - therein lies more interest :)

Heh, libguestfs helped me out a couple of years ago.. Never realised it was OCaml. Nice! (Noobing myself through OCaml & F# right now, so this will be an interesting reference to study :) )

As a regular Zürich Döner eater, I'd be curious to see these fabled 20$ equivalent Döners. Mine are always in the 10/11CHF range (~$11).

When I saw the headline "Reason open-sourced" yesterday, my immediate reaction was "wow, propellerheads have open-sourced Reason??!!??". Luckily I also like OCaml..:)

Smalltalk would help with this kind of magic. The Smalltalk Method finder is (British-English School-yard definition of) Magic ;)

Actually, having bothered to pay more attention this morning on the way in, I noticed that the engines that I assumed were diesel were in actual fact electric; I had just assumed diesel from the shape and behaviour. So, disregard my blath

Wintherthur/Zürich - i'd say i see at least 1 per day, mostly S trains. Some IC do the St. Gallen run with diesel at homeward rush hour. Don't get me wrong, it's not huge numbers, but I see 'em.

I beg to differ, I see and sometimes use diesel trains on a daily basis in .ch But that's not to take away from Switzerland having a very high percentage of trains being electric only.

Ah yes, thanks for clarifying.. I didn't quite get as far as watching or reading the article due to work distractions. :/

I couldn't agree more that people should have a choice. Whether they exercise that freedom of choice though...

Hmm, I'd like to agree with you, but there are plenty of examples where this kind of situation has occurred and the dogma won :( EDIT: To clarify; I mean dying vs not dying, rather than specifically having an animal-grown organ inser

Not trying to troll, but I can see the idea of organs grown in pigs not going down particularly well with the members of at least 2 world religions.

I think we may be at cross-purposes here.. I was thinking more of the size of a nitrogen atom rather than how much there is in the atmosphere. The size isn't going to vary substantially, is it?

"Blue skies are seen on Earth because of the scattering of sunlight by very small particles of nitrogen." I read this as implying Nitrogen could also be large?
