I loved nedit back in the day. I wrote my entire PhD thesis in LaTeX using it. I think the only reason I picked it over emacs (which I was using for coding) was that the text line wrapping was sane out of the box.

I was running a DnD online game and didn't feel that all the battle maps out there were easy enough to use. I am running using a screen share on discord so all the extra features of Roll 20 for example just got in the way. So an hour w

Good article and I was shocked to see a picture from my old office at the top of the page!

Patrick Stewart is from Yorkshire not Scotland, by the way.

That stood out to me too.

I know it's not the point of the comment but it's a bit of a flawed analogy. Microwaves have wone to a large extent, such that people without them are a bit of an oddity, and cooking with an oven is more of a special occasion thin

I am using AI a lot to do tasks that just would not get done because they would take too long. Also, getting it to iterate on a React web application meant I can think about what I want it to do rather than worry about all the typing I woul

Well unironically you would be safer if you did that! Although it's a trade off between looking ridiculous and being safe. I personally don't think bike helmets should be mandatory because it puts people off riding a bike (includi

I have done that multiple times in the past but there came a point where I couldn't "white knuckle" my diet any more. GLP-1 has really helped a much better quality of life - lower cravings for food and alcohol, meaning that I

London had the tube bombings, but there is no security scanning there.

The patients can also see the posters, and it won't be background noise for them, so they can think of asking about it.

As someone who has been fat and not-fat throughout my life, I think literally everyone knows that it is simple to lose weight by eating fewer calories. That does not mean it is easy. If you are already fat, which can happen almost without y

That's quite a lot of European countries to be fair.

Not sure about the amp, but the Yamaha Pacifica I have is decent. It's been used in a stage show successfully (not played by me), and the artist was very happy with it.

I think it's more to warn a motorist to be mindful of slow moving people. And older people do occasionally fall over too.

I think that is one of the things that you are supposed to learn at college, in my experience.

Not sure what you mean, I think that is a valid point.

I remember playing Shades an awful lot as a young teen. That was until my parents saw the phone bill!

I should imagine an experience outdoors person like her would be able to choose appropriate footwear! Boots are heavy and don't protect you from blisters either.

I am listening to The Path of Kings, I was put off by the length at first, but now I can't put it down. They are such good narrators.

Often this is to do with making a site work across browsers. IE11 is the bane of our lives! Plus doing the transpiling allows using things like Typescript which is a godsend on a complex site.

As there are relatively few goals, anything that can turn a goal into not a goal or vice versa can have a massive impact on the game. For example the penalty decision against Croatia in the final. Another thing that adds to the randomness i

Most likely the UK. Here Asian means Indian subcontinent, and Oriental is East Asian, and supermarket will typically have Oriental in its name somewhere.

They tried that in Victorian England (workhouses) and we no quite rightly regard it as utterly barbaric.

When I went to uni (physics) an exam had four/five questions that would take about 40 minutes each, and the "final answer" was worth about 5/10% of the question. So it really was about the process.

You're not alone there, one of the most difficult things I've read this year.

I'm not really sure what I am looking at there. Is the X axis the number of trials run, or the length of the run?

I enumerated the sequences that the article mentioned, and counted how often a tail filled a head, and vice versa, and got 12 instances where a head follows a head, and 10 where a tail followed a head. So there is a difference for just coun
