I think it might have been a pun relating to the phrase "Going Dutch"

On a point of technicality - he was only two years old when the Great War started! (I think you meant the 2nd World War)

Just to extend this - if you're often using different users (or need to otherwise deploy via a configuration manager), I've found out that a good way of having system-wide options …

Likewise - with visual mode it's normally pretty quick to select an area and do a basic regex, even for things like re-indentation (auto-completes to something like :' s/^/\t/) eve…

We deploy our software packages to our own infrastructure and clients using a private APT repository and basic HTTP auth. Obviously we're running it with apt-transport-https instal…

Unless we use Supermicro kit, presumably?

Jökulsárlón lagoon in southern Iceland is a fascinating place for this - large blocks of ice break from the glacier at the top end and slowly float towards the outlet of the lagoon…

We had people in the same team with the same differing opinions 15 years - we compromised on a coding standard of 3 spaces, and anything else looks wrong to me now.

I'm not who you responded to, but the DeckLink Mini Recorder (towards the bottom of https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/decklink/models ) is a very capable PCI-e HDMI and SDI…

And a typical aircraft flight management system would involve inserting a series of instructions then pressing the execute button.

A friend wrote a blog post at http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/hannah-griffiths/isis-climat... whilst in Iraq, which refers to the Columbia University paper at http://www.pnas.org/c…

You should probably first consider seeing if there are critical bits of code that can be rewritten to use MMX/SSE instructions, since your data is in the right cache already, witho…

Windows NT 3.1 (1993) and its successors (NT 4.0, Windows 2000, XP and the server equivalents) was independent of DOS, but was separate to the other OSes (Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98…

There's a bit more info from somebody on the inside over at http://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/1eyrdo/bbc_ab...

It's very unlikely to be useful, unless you are running the same platform and have an interest in implementing business rules for the same use cases as the BBC have. Much of the in…

The irony is that we (the company I work for) already do low-resolution web-based proxy editing. The BBC has know about us since 2006 - we were even part of the original DMI tender…
