Since we are commenting in a tech website about chocolate bars, I'll say this. I bought one or more every day for years during my childhood from about 7 years old to 12 years old. …

Check in the github src directory.

Any muscle, back and joint pain should first be met with mild strengthening, mild weight loss and mild exercise. It's like turning your computer off and on. Mostly the problems go …

No way! I played the original (too much) while doing computer science at uni in the early 1990s. My friends were either playing the Dune RTS or mmorpgs, depending on their leaning.…

Sounds like they tweaked an AI to get a minimal subset of accurate outcomes and started waving their hands for anything more complicated, realistic and ultimately generally useful.…

Sensible thought. I very much hope there is a glut of one-three year old ram and GPUs on the market in about one year when the AI market "cools" and the ear-marked components retur…

Marked me down? That was a joke about how quotes are misattributed on the internet. (I am the following person) But if you are good at your job because you see faults before humour…

Used to be red/orange in mine.

I had a colour-blindness test when I worked at an abattoir. My job was to find odd things on a one third section of a side of beef as it went past and cut it off. 1500 or so per da…

For a while, I programmed while walking on a mini-laptop. Nice walking paths where I lived. I was on a hobby project and wanted to spend any minute on it. It wasn't pretty. I kept …

I thought that was Einstein, Lincoln, or Keller :)

As a software developer, when I used to smoke, I would go outside for 5-10 minutes and talk shit with other regulars who had nothing to do with my work. It was a break that would f…

I used to do it walking to school when I was about 10. Nearly got hit by cars quite a bit.

The kid? :)

Software or hardware, the lock-down for dollars will blow back.

I did TDD properly the first time in my Masters Degree (ongoing). It was an eye-opener. Write your program in two different ways to make sure you know the requirements by making th…

I still don't understand microservices for anything short of a NAG of four level architecture.

In the 25 odd years I developed software, I learnt all the rules the hard way. Relax. You will make all the mistakes because the laws don't make sense until you trip over them :) C…

4 kings. Wipe if you think you can do better :) It can and has been done.

That's amazing. I used to live under an architecture student (our building). His command of design history was great. His command of maths? Well, not so much.

Interesting they had to redistribute the numbers to take account of its natural bias.

I just throw 17d6 and subtract 2. Problem solved. (I am joking!)

Good luck to him. If he was behind the Neo, then he deserves the post. That's the perfect new product in the mac world.

I always enjoy these summaries. I took my bachelor of computer science in the early 1990s. It covered a language in most of these categories. We didn't learn APL (Who is teaching t…

This is silly reporting with a couple of interesting stories. Forget about the technical ways of doing it. Doing it at all changes the game experience. Pausing a game has a massive…
