I've seen this posed the other way. "How much money would it take to have me quit immediately?" On bad days, a grand or two would do it. But I guess this a combination of both love…

Can I ask how intensively you have used Numba and over what period? I'm interested in how Numba has progressed over the last few years, with a view to using it over Cython. My team…

Just one extra datum, there gas been normal battery use on my iPhone 7 since the update, though I don't think it has ever dropped as low as 30%, despite a fair bit of Bluetooth hea…

Corals are an example of animals that can do both. They reproduce asexually through fission, which keeps clones in local similar conditions where they can thrive. While sexual repr…

I wonder how this might bear out for crocodile and turtle species, whose sex if determined in the egg due to nest temperature? Changes to average beach temperatures can skew sex ra…

Can I ask if you have found any equivalent to the Elm Architecture in Purescript? I have looked at Elm, and Purescript and now Bucklescript, but I have not yet seen, or wired up my…

Gotta say that the total solar eclipse i witnessed in Hungary round 2000 or so, was one of the most memorable moments of my travels. The sensation of the terminator rushing at you …

I'm pretty sure NZ has a less deadly set of wildlife than Oz, though surprising a boar could still end badly. No crocs, fewer snakes, spiders and dropbears.

Thanks, will try to hack the weekend away.

Has the story for PicoLisp on OSX changed at all? My daily drive is El Capitan and there were issues compiling the source because of Clang/gcc incompatibilities last time I tried. …

I used a top-end Surface Pro as a dev machine for 6 months running Ubuntu, and it was great. Three screens, fast, powerful, portable, plus multiple vms. Only really hit the limits …

While deadly police incidents seem less common in Australia, don't kid yourself that our police always get it right. They could do with better de-escalation training to deal with s…

I found installing on OSX fairly pain free. Homebrew and a bit of Ruby's gem got me everything.

I agree. For me, Asciidoc hits the sweet spot as it seems to have much of the simplicity of Markdown, and with the AsciiDoctor/DocBook toolchain it has the publishing power of Rest…

I am enjoying learning and using both Elm and F# at the minute, but finding a webserver to link them has not been straight forward. Suave, or Nancy seem to have a lots of opaque bo…

I disagree Australian culture would be devastated by mass immigration. Post WW2 immigrants and the Vietnamese boat people of the 70's form an important part of today's culture, eve…

Sure, we can't know whether they fit the formal refugee criteria until we assess their claims, but all are subject to offshore processing regardless of their true status. I believe…

I deplore the current policies that treat refugees as criminals. Dutton is engaging in the dog-whistle politics that got the former Prime Minister Abbott elected. And during the cu…

I had understood Terry Hughes comments [1] to be that he _expects_ up to half the corals that bleach to die. Has their been follow up surveys already? The final mortality could be …

The Great Barrier Reef formed over the last 14,000 years since the last Ice Age rather than million years as you suggest. And while the vast colonies may die, and their calcareous …
