This was definitely also a 'thing' when I was growing up in Somerset, I think they just called it a 'garden open day' or similar, but I can distinctly remember wandering around one massive garden and nearly walking strai

I've been around the 'net long enough to remember when Altavista didn't even have it's own domain name, it was altavista.digital.com, this triggered some great memories of my first year or two using the web on the only c

I think OP is referring to this https://www.thebellrock.co.uk/lunch-buffet which does appear to be a fish-n-chip buffet of sorts (amongst other things) which has been in various tabloid newspapers in the last month or so.

I'm working on something similar (won't link to it as don't want people to think I'm spamming) but if you want to compare notes happy to talk.

I've been working on an integrated deterministic/agent integrated system for a few months now. It basically runs an AI step to build a plan, which biases towards deterministic steps as much as possible but escalates back to AI wh

Haven't looked at the app itself but the MCP tool problem is mainly solved now using lazy loading, it's far from perfect but the immediate context window overload problem is gone (in clients that support it anyway). Now just onto

Nope, at least for ours it limits on export produced (on a technical basis, not a planning permission one). It will deliberately downgrade the energy produced to ensure it doesn’t exceed export limits. You get used to optimising for sunshin

Exactly that, it was known as the ‘script.ini’ problem, the download directory was changed as well. It would attempt to send to people as they joined a channel. More info: http://www.irchelp.org/security/si.html

Anecdata I used Cabin late last year, and am 6ft 2. It was compact but I had enough space (would have liked more ceiling height but length was ok) Didn't have any problems with the bus noise, or other people, and the bus was about 3&#

We are just in the process of launching something similar at Converse to allow users to extend our conversational workflow capabilities to add their own modules, events, including extending API endpoints and the core UI. Definitely a good w

We do exactly this with Lua inside our platform to drive workflow modules in a multitenant environment. It's not using OpenResty though (although OpenResty is very cool) We are going to be adding Node as well though, for the reasons yo

Citrix has spun out the Goto* products, and that's what has merged with LogMeIn. Citrix hasn't bought LastPass Citrix hasn't merged directly with LogMeIn, it's still a separate company.

The way we handle this (and avoid the lowest common denominator problem) is allowing you to have one bot, but then specific 'modules' that execute only if being accessed over a specific network. This lets you build one bot that su

Quite a few depending on what level of control/functionality you are looking for. Some are more developer/write your own code focussed, other more graphically focused. In alphabetical order and not exhaustive. API.AI (now Google)

Sadly most bots today are solutions looking for a problem. Our customers (thankfully) are typically looking for ways to engage with their existing customer base better, and/or deliver their existing commercial services in a better way.

There is lots of deja vu for me. I spent my days in 97-00 hosting Eggdrops on IRC (mainly IRCNet but some others as well). Spent my days deep in TCL, accidentally discovering probably the single deadliest bug in Eggdrop with an accidental

The document you link specifically states protection mechanisms put in place to prevent this from happening. They will still have a significant vote, but a long long way from a majority on any key issues.
