Casual sentences and mathematics/logic don't go very well together, and lead to ambiguities and interpretation if there are no clear rules defined beforehand. This reminds me of th…

> Why would I ever use this instead of just using perl5 Because the syntax in Amber is way easier to grasp. For me that's a very strong selling point

Some things that do work: > write a haiku about a toaster > write a haiku, then criticize it > pad thai recipe > can you korrect the spleeing errors in this sntence?

AC is annty-christ

Lisp is like the Latin of programming languages. Powerful, archaic, well-thought, elegant, venerable.

I believe it was Dali

I find it strange that people here are fixated with the solving software part. What's really cool to me in the project is the mechanical solution; fitting all the motors, axles, MC…

Why don't we see the Moon's shadow projected over the Earth in the pic? I guess it has to do with the relative distances of the 2 bodies to the Sun and the Moon's penumbra or somet…

At the telecom company I work for, this is called 'System Integration'. It takes most of our time.

This reminds me of Flatland

In Madrid (Spain), an engineer with 10 years of experience in a technical role can expect an average of 55k€ per year, before a 25% tax cut. Similar (or a bit lower) for a programm…

I've worked in Dubai. I found the article pretty accurate. So much, that I was surprised to read on it the same analogies I've been doing myself to describe the country to my frien…

I strongly suspect this is not due to an outage in the network, but rather intentional. Some years ago I worked on a project for a Japanese mobile operator to implement a system th…

Yesterday's news said the mobile phone didn't work, whereas wireline network was still functioning. I strongly suspect this is not due to an outage in the network, but rather inten…
