I don't even sit in front of a computer to write programs, I do that in the car. I type them in when I'm in front of the computer. All the actual work though? That gets done in a s…

It emulates the computer that runs Voyager 1. I'm not sure I understand the question.

Okay, how exactly? How do you expect an AI to do it?

I dislike AI but I think it's unfair that you're being downvoted for this. You could probably use an AI to generate a suitable test harness but the problem here is that it's not ju…

We eat because there's six inches of earth, it rains sometimes, and cows and pigs shit solid gold.

That is actually awesome :-) I'll try that. I was really just going to try and wrap it in a function to stick in the model so I can say something like Site.objects.get(id=thing).di…

Ah, we've got pretty much all of that here, although way more rapeseed is grown than corn.

Why wouldn't you have corn oil?

No, AI is how you create the steak in the first place, if you have any sense. CBF with having to travel a bull up here when a dewar goes in the boot of my car.

The pin doesn't even need to be captive, if you tug on the belt it'll jam in the slot kind of like a climbing nut in a crack.

There's a track on an Aphex Twin CD (yeah well it would be, eh?) called Bonus High Frequency Sounds that's an SSTV pic of him in his studio.

Yeah I'm not clever enough to do that. How would you have approached it?

I'm sure there must be a way to just set up enough of the Django environment to mangle about at objects in your models in a program. It's something I find myself using the Django s…

The double underscore kwargs are a bit odd, I agree, but once you know about them they're okay. And, rather like the petrol engine, it turns out while it sucks, everything else is …

What would you have used instead?

Why would you have chosen these? What are the advantages?

You can do PSK31 across a room with just audio, but it is a kind of annoying noise after a while. It's interesting that you learn to recognise patterns in the burbling tones after …

Didn't you see it?

That's a bit racist isn't it?

C++ is tremendously bloated though, and wastes hundreds of instructions with stuff you shouldn't need to care about.

True, with modern processors there is a hell of a lot of "it has to be this way round for the pipeline to flow" that the compiler does for you. But you're still throwing away so mu…
