Perhaps. However, look at the horrific costs of going to a gig these days. (My eyes are bent, my back is dim etc) I recall going to a few gigs back in the day. Iron Maiden headlini…

This para is a salutary lesson for all of us: "This is not a New Zealand quirk. It is the local edge of a global collapse. Pitchfork, the most influential music publication in the …

(I see you use another quoting style, so I'll try to keep my language to the point) I only heard about the term tinnitus as a 'teen or perhaps later. ENT: Ear, Nose and Throat - a …

"Now you get the same Weather app in about 130MB of RAM" What a wonderful world we have created where the fix for a 1GB RAM guzzler reduces it to a mere 130MB. Now I could start of…

I've had it all my life. I'm 55. Mine is bearable and generally I don't notice it. Mine was caused by "glue ear" or more likely the operations to "cure it", which caused ear drum s…

"My phone is a server now" - OP's choice is a subtle one. By saying "my server is now ..." implies a change of server platform to a phone but not where it came from. Your offering:…

My vague equivalent of the pelican riding a bicycle test (for a local model without internets) is to ask it: "Where is Yeovil"? I don't expect a totally accurate answer for obvious…

I'm 55 years old. My eyes are not what they used to be and neither are my glasses. I also own a copy of "Usage and Abusage" but I'll pass on that. Click on story link. My laptop re…

I had a bash with that paper. It is pure and utter tosh - I started with the ... start and swiftly moved to 6. Conclusion. "Thinking like an attacker is a skill rightly valued amon…

Just to re-iterate the point: Whenever the handwaving starts around a discussion relating to a NP hard problem, I find it useful to imagine a Canadian bloke (MHRIP) in a red top, w…

"Any computable problem will eventually fall to computers." By definition. Its those pesky NP jobbies that get in the way.

I absolutely agree with you that the paraphernalia around code is required but tools for the job. git for code management something else for discussion of that management

Well my little company has at least three employees that came back again after leaving. Two of them are still here. We are not particularly interesting ... What I'm advocating for …

I'm probably somewhat older than most here. What OP is describing is what used to be normal and should still be! In the past it was normal to write a CV (resume) and a covering let…

"I think of GitHub as a collaboration tool." Well yes but git itself is the tool at the base of the pyramid you call GitHub and co. It seems you actively want git to look like all …

Now look up the temperatures within the water column. I don't see any notes about pressure. Temperature is one axis ... Your charts show several "green house gases" and with some s…

You'll be glad to know that I was first shown tLoB in Divinity class at school by the school's resident priest (CoE).

Take a copy of "Usage and Abusage" and blend with Lord Byron after applying suitable libations; toss in the bear for body. Season to taste with the darker dictionary (the parts cha…

A 10x engineer only needs about five months of experience. So, leave college/uni with your "Desmond" (1) in comparative pornography in Feb 2026, buy a PC/Apple and by now you will …

"He's not the Messiah and is a really naughty boy" ... or words to that effect. Can't be arsed to dig out a search engine and will rely on seriously addled brain.
