Each bucket looks like 5 - 8 litres. That's a lot of water. Might have to keep using to soapy water for more washing.

Imagine if the Chinese were able to patent the process of mining and processing the rare metals. And bombarded everyone with frivolous lawsuits. Good thing these crazy scenarios don't happen.

I started less than a month ago, and it pays really well. I will stick it out and hope to convince management to let me have admin rights to my machine.

I suffer this fate every day. It is made worse by being locked down so hard I can't even use PowerShell. All I have is Notepad++ for development, searching, mass text manipulation...

The whole thing exudes the great sadness of the loss of a child. War sucks, but we keep doing it.

In Australia, McDonald's is exceptionally busy in the morning for the drive-through and the sit-down areas. Lots of parents bring their children there before school. At least the one in Albion, Brisbane.

I do not know why the positive manifold is as it is. But it still seems like it is a precise measure of an inaccuracy. What I am getting at in a roundabout way is that I cannot find any credible definition of intelligence that is not depend

It is more correctly circular reasoning. The psychometric measure g does not break this circle at all. I will never believe in "intelligence tests" until this circular reasoning can be broken.

Yes, I know what you mean. But I had to make an exception for DrRacket. It was just so much better than any vim plugin I tried.

Can I ask why you don't use DrRacket? Write your code in the definitions panel and hit f5.

Continuations. Second only to Monads for having so many bad explanatory articles written about it.

Inviting others to critique your work. Great to see. I will have to have a serious look at Rust sometime then.

I read that a few times (and a few times in the past) and I find it more difficult to comprehend and reason about than the programming language itself. So, if I build something today and I want to distribute it WITHOUT distributing the sour

For me, I have started to tinker with it because of the increase in the availability of documentation, especially from Adacore. Google will show you some high quality pdfs out there. There's also Adacore University. Also, the IDE - GNA

I was looking at Chicken Scheme just the other day also for a financial app. Tried and utterly failed to load the bb and iup eggs to get a gui going. And this was in vanilla Ubuntu. Had to go back to Racket.
