Is it possible for end users to deploy their own operating systems and software? And do you make it easy for them to do so? One of my pet peeves about the Android ecosystem is Google's abusive licensing restrictions for their extended

The current plan is not to perform any part of the canonisation on a graph, but to calculate a language table for the network and canonise the resultant expressions (which are trees not graphs). I've mostly figured out the sorting aspe

(What the article calls) Canonisation is an interesting issue - it seems very hard to get right and to do so efficiently. I'm trying to wrap my head around a the issue in a regex parser that I've knocked up. I'm currently end

When did I ever say that the children of wealthy alumni should be prioritised? I'm not assuming that the wealthy are there by merit, I'm assuming that the competent are. And yes, universities will admit the idiot sons of the rich,

Intelligence is largely hereditary (people's intelligence is generally unlikely to be significantly higher or lower than that of their parents). So if the parents were high quality academic students, there's a far higher than aver

Fluorosis is not a cosmetic issue - it can be severe enough that it impacts the strength of the skeleton. Even if that was not the case, you'd need to prove that it's better than hydroxyapatite when applied topically, which (assum

The update doesn't seem too bad - but I did (initially) make the mistake of calling zypper from within KDE, which leads to a crash and leaves the system in an invalid state. (ctrl+alt+f4 from the login screen allows you to get to a com
