XML-separated values? It sounds like some kind of (easily detected) side-band, or an xkcd cartoon.

We are already suffering from severe austerity after the collapse in 2008. Pay for the bottom 70% of people in the Western World falls further and further behind. The present political mess, including in the US and in the UK, and across Eur

Excellent. I think I know what I'll be reading tonight.

Yes, and I've had to limit myself pretty severely on eating out. Flip-side, is that I can put more effort into having good food. I eat enough bread that I like to bake a loaf every week, and having fresh home-made wholewheat bread avai

I got my current job from a resume like this. My boss specifically commented how my resume wasn't full of bullshit.

That's probably just portion size, which seems to be an American disease. I'm from the U.K. originally and I regard US portions as typically about 3 or 4 meals. Further, I've just managed to drop my weight from 188 to 168 lbs

Yes, on my Air now. It's like my old G4 12" AlBook, just a no-hassle, always there laptop.

Wow, new to me too. I had never thought of that. Oh Christ, it could be awful. Luckily, and as an unremarkable looking male, I'm still clinging to a cube, and the noise there is bad enough.

Oh man, I so miss slow times at work. * Flight simulator (on a Pentium Pro) * Reading Red Dwarf scripts * Posting on Slashdot Nowadays it's all I can do to keep up.

Finally something that traumatizes me, as much as my children. In all seriousness though, my daughters moved into the same room for about a month in response to the 'Killer Clown' (pennywise etc.) stories that were doing the round

I did something like this in Visual Basic and submitted it to PC PLUS in the UK, back in the early 90's. It was (yay!) published as recognit.bas (VB) and I'd be really happy if someone still has a copy. It recognized just numbers

Yeah, my 7 y/o got a bit off her depth in a hotel pool once and was doing this. In fact she did it like 3 times, and I had to rescue her each time. So it's really stuck with me that people drown 'very quietly', and to st

My experience of eliminating RSI: 1) Consider getting a big trackball and learning to use it with your wrong hand, 2) Get a better keyboard, 3) Work slower, 4) Walk as much as you can, 5) Lose weight, 6) Manage stress. In common with many o

Lol, I have a couple lying around I had earmarked for building a midi interface for. Maybe my 8-y/o daughter will 'grow into them' as she is the only person in the house with any ability to play keyboards.

I had no idea this was the case. That's shocking. If I need cash, I walk into a Chase branch [Not my bank, but conveniently near a Thai Restaurant I like to visit] and just ask for cash advance against my VISA card. Done by a teller, t

I think that's actually literal fire-hose, rather than rope. It's pretty handy for delimiting R/C car tracks!

Wow, that's really neat. I knew the sounds to be wrung from the VCS were quite varied, but they really did hit a pretty good set from pureish tones to heavy distorted noise.

Hmmm, the Boyer-Moore indexing in Go takes 2 x as long as the naive linear search. Now I feel bad for wasting an hour wrestling with Go weirdness to get my program to compile.

It was a huge relief to get the children weaned, and off the giant vats of Similac ... I feel that was probably even more expensive than the diapers.

Are you sure? I have a gtx 970 working on the maxwell drivers on el cap but no luck on pascal.

It's BS that this is a problem. I have various breaks in my resume, including for layoffs, working on my own things etc. Just have a reasonable narrative and you'll be fine.

I believe that lead in petrol / gasoline still exists as there are not one but two effects from lead. One is that lead helps promoting burning of the gasoline versus explosion or knocking. Two is that lead is a great lubricant for the

I hadn't come across this before, and sure enough, looking at the current personal project I'm working on, it's composed of 3 main files of C++, a Windows program, a parser [1] and a custom OpenGL control [2], each is 500 - 6

Hopefully this is relevant, but you can certainly kick off nvcc -ptx in a shell to generate ptx files, then just load those in through driver calls. I'm totally planning to do something like this for some bulk data processing I have in

Yeah, that stood out as some serious asymmetry.

Yes, look at the bits used by Microsoft Office ... Win32. I could believe the flashing (when running over RDP), glitchy, sluggish Outlook 2016 is using some of the new stuff. It's not a success in my view.
