For physical science, I think people could use ISO 10303 [1] to represent their experimental process and results. A facility like CERN could have an accurate model of the equipment available, you just add the description of your experiment

At least in the UK and France, a fair proportion of "convenience stores" are owned by the big supermarket chains and stock a subset of the products that you get in a large store.

Why offload it to the host? If the CPU on the NVMe card is well documented then run the flash software on that. The same goes for network offload features in ethernet controllers, make it an open architecture that you can write your own fir

XSLT is a lot harder to use than Lisp. Trying to debug some XSLT right now, every implementation processes the script differently, have reached the point of just declaring that it is broken and using something else. I should be writing Comm

In Manchester, there isn't even a date given for Openreach to lay fibre, there is a private regional ISP that has done it though. I currently have FTTC. I'm either going to switch to fibre with the regional ISP or cancel my landli
