I've seen this posed the other way. "How much money would it take to have me quit immediately?" On bad days, a grand or two would do it. But I guess this a combination of both love/hate for your job and any current finan

Can I ask how intensively you have used Numba and over what period? I'm interested in how Numba has progressed over the last few years, with a view to using it over Cython. My team and I looked at Numba a year ago or so for optimisatio

Just one extra datum, there gas been normal battery use on my iPhone 7 since the update, though I don't think it has ever dropped as low as 30%, despite a fair bit of Bluetooth headphone use.

Corals are an example of animals that can do both. They reproduce asexually through fission, which keeps clones in local similar conditions where they can thrive. While sexual reproduction occurs through spawning, where genetically diverse

I wonder how this might bear out for crocodile and turtle species, whose sex if determined in the egg due to nest temperature? Changes to average beach temperatures can skew sex ratios in hatchlings. (Will find for refs but mobile right now

Can I ask if you have found any equivalent to the Elm Architecture in Purescript? I have looked at Elm, and Purescript and now Bucklescript, but I have not yet seen, or wired up myself, something like the Elm architecture. I should probably

Gotta say that the total solar eclipse i witnessed in Hungary round 2000 or so, was one of the most memorable moments of my travels. The sensation of the terminator rushing at you was breathtaking. The unearthly silence as all the wildlife

I'm pretty sure NZ has a less deadly set of wildlife than Oz, though surprising a boar could still end badly. No crocs, fewer snakes, spiders and dropbears.

Has the story for PicoLisp on OSX changed at all? My daily drive is El Capitan and there were issues compiling the source because of Clang/gcc incompatibilities last time I tried. Precompiled binaries were around but are no longer lin

I used a top-end Surface Pro as a dev machine for 6 months running Ubuntu, and it was great. Three screens, fast, powerful, portable, plus multiple vms. Only really hit the limits when compiling big c libraries or using the Android toolchai

Or consider if one of those creatures hears the noise while diving deep. If it gets spooked and comes to the surface too fast, it will get the bends. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i thought deep diving mammals couldn't get the be

While deadly police incidents seem less common in Australia, don't kid yourself that our police always get it right. They could do with better de-escalation training to deal with situations in critical environments like crowds [1] or w

I found installing on OSX fairly pain free. Homebrew and a bit of Ruby's gem got me everything.

I agree. For me, Asciidoc hits the sweet spot as it seems to have much of the simplicity of Markdown, and with the AsciiDoctor/DocBook toolchain it has the publishing power of RestructuredText. But its tables beat both hands down. You

I am enjoying learning and using both Elm and F# at the minute, but finding a webserver to link them has not been straight forward. Suave, or Nancy seem to have a lots of opaque boilerplate, and I've not found anything with a similar

I disagree Australian culture would be devastated by mass immigration. Post WW2 immigrants and the Vietnamese boat people of the 70's form an important part of today's culture, even neglecting the almost entirely immigrant populat

Sure, we can't know whether they fit the formal refugee criteria until we assess their claims, but all are subject to offshore processing regardless of their true status. I believe that even those granted refugee status are trapped on

I deplore the current policies that treat refugees as criminals. Dutton is engaging in the dog-whistle politics that got the former Prime Minister Abbott elected. And during the current federal election campaign, the Labor opposition can&#x

I had understood Terry Hughes comments [1] to be that he _expects_ up to half the corals that bleach to die. Has their been follow up surveys already? The final mortality could be much worse, particularly among the ornate, fast growing spe

I have been interested in taking PicoLisp for a spin, but I've found the friction of installing on OSX a bit much. Do you know of an easier way to use PicoLisp, without re-hacking gcc back into the system?

In the past, I have seen similar schemes questioned on grounds of: - tethering, they likely need to be anchored in shallow water (<100m) to reduce expensive anchoring gear and potential entanglement, - high wave states, what will happens
