Hi Chris, just for info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDSII will tell you about the GDS format. It apparently stands for Graphic Data System II (originally developed by Calma in the late 1970s).

Don’t forget “Eddie the Eagle”. Quintessentially British.

In the General and Special Theories of Disaster Area Tax Returns, it is shown that the whole fabric of the space-time continuum is more than merely curved; it is, in fact, totally bent.

A new custom protein design lab has launched in Europe. They have a new approach, Designerbodies™, which allow predefined epitope-paratope interactions. They can apparently tailor the binding site to match the intended application.

Procrastination is related to depression. Try more sleep, more sun and, if possible, long walks in a park or other natural environment. Other forms of exercise are also good.

As you don’t specify the available paths nor all of the states, the question as it stands is ill-posed.

I previously worked for a company developing custom software some of Germany’s leading banks. Even (back in the nineties) when we had to use languages such as Natural and COBOL, we developed a macro language (that compiled to COBOL) to let

I would vote for completely banning paywall posts. It annoys me no end when a post links to the Wall Street Journal or the Financial Times or suchlike.

Ffs people. “It’s” is the abbreviation for “it is”. If you want the possessive form, use “its” (no apostrophe).

That annoys me as well. What I find even more annoying are the questions designed to sow strife and discord, even when (or especially when) the premise of the question is patently false. All because because that drives engagement.

For me, it lets you know, of all the companies professing to put the customer first, which actually do. Some websites offer a one-click “No” option. Others require 27 different selections on two pages, in the hope that you miss one. And th

The strategy you outline is classic BATNA. Your BATNA is your best alternative to negotiated agreement - your walk-away position. The stronger that is, the more leverage you have in negotiating. By improving lead times, your friend improved

I read many articles like this, protesting that Apple doesn't do this, Apple doesn't do that. Apple isn't a monopoly, by any stretch of the imagination. 13% of the US market in Macs, 25% in mobile phones. Starbucks has a mark

Have you thought about AI and its applications to cybersecurity? Intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, etc. Or crafting new threats or countermeasures.

In which climate zones do trees not make their surroundings more temperate? Trees live from Alaska to the equator, and from the coast to near-desert. They are not de-humidifiers, but they certainly regulate temperature.

The big advantage trees have ove most man-made shade is that heat can convect through them. If you’ve ever sat underneath an umbrella at a café versus a beer garden under trees you’ll notice the difference. The umbrella shades, but traps re

Just to be sure I’m following you correctly, what is the advantage of zipping the base64 data vs having the original binary, zipped if you like?

Great fun. After a long argument (and a John Cleese reference which went completely over YudBot‘s head), I finally convinced him. Only to stumble into a bug at the payment end. I initially proposed payment in Nimbis (the standard rate of ei

Sharing that the current company is contemplating a similar product is already sharing sensitive information and is probably in breach of contract, regardless of whether an NDA is in place.

Sharing your own company’s information is a big no-no, and probably a breach of contract, both at the interview stage, and also if you decide to join the other company. Don’t even share that your current company is working on a competing pr

The article is from 2008, and seems to be based on data from 2005. The article discusses absolute differences in population, where the relevant statistic would be the ratio. After all, that’s the likelihood that you would meet someone of th
