The datalist could work well with the range input, if that itself wasn't a dog's breakfast.

I don't wish to get into a 2000 year old debate about who is a true Christian. We do better to unite than to fight. I was merely confirming that it is not necessary to consider the Bible to be i…

That is definitely true. For example there is widely held doubt that Paul wrote 1 and 2 Timothy despite that being the claim in its opening words. The content of the cannon,the books which make up the…

I like this game because it is a bit mysterious, but I seemed to quickly hit on a strategy - start towards the centre, make 3x3x3 triangles, ignore blue - which wins more or less every time. Blue coul…

Most books are still printed with serif typefaces because they are easier to read. Is that becoming less true for younger people? A genuine question.

The person at the other desk, opposite, has one of those holes cables disappear into at a moment's notice. I used to carry a kitchen bag clip for that!

When I was 9, my next eldest brother of 16 was captivated by calculus at school and wanted to share it with me. Without algebra he managed to get across to me how it worked though I am sure I had no i…

Yes, when using MS logparser allowed me to magic up some ad hoc reports in minutes.

I may be wrong but I seem to remember that Concorde was never asked to go into a holding pattern because it just couldn't deal with it. Am I wrong?

Those bangs look great. Really useful to know.

It seems odd there is no mention of labels. I am never sure about how accessible they are or if they can stand in for their target.

It is surprisingly good, though programming per sample seemed unusable on my plenty fast enough machine.

Now I am retired and have chronic fatigue where interaction with others exhausts me, programming without any pressure is a great way to settle my brain. Probably not for everyone, but having been codi…

To state the obvious, no one knows what it is like to be someone else. We can compare what interests us, motivates us etc and say "I am more like that person than this other person". So I su…

"Britain" is a bit confusing. Most often it is used to refer to the UK itself, or sometimes to Great Britain the island. I doubt that's what you meant.

I think ?? only acts on null or undefined, || acts on any falsey value.

From Thomas Hardy's book it is clear it is important the pig is kept alive until it has bled to death. Jude messes it up because he can't deal with it.

When I was small I used to be a huge Tinitn fan. Now they are really planning to do it they need to get the paintwork right. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Adventures_of…

Your comment about the Guardian prompted me to check and it turns out there is a comprehensive page on Wikipedia. Who knew? The Guardian isn't on it but the Daily Mirror is - not sure I understan…

I predict we will be just as successful in looking after space as we have been with the planet. So no worries.

Whilst that sounds a little harsh, I think it sums up the actual answer. To speak confidently you need to be confident. Much of the advice in the other answers will help you achieve that.

As an adult at the time I made a game with AMOS (Mouse Impossible) and it was published free as a magazine cover disk. I was prouder of that than anything I did at work!

I cancelled Netflix yesterday. Having watched a few things the absolute majority of its largely American content does not interest me at all. If it's any consolation I don't think I've …

In the UK Curzon have a similar but smaller catelogue.

It reminded me of the old Amega demo scene. I think it is the overly strong syncing with the beat. More deviation from it would be an improvement.

I wish I could hear you but there's this echo ....

Oh dear. But there was no explanation why they drive on the right. Because that's what everyone does.

My point was that it is so common it shouldn't need some sort of explanation. It's just a US centric viewpoint that requires it.

I think rent and mortgage are different. We bought our first house in 1977. If you take a look at the graph that was just before inflation shot up to 15%. It was a hard time but wages did catch up and…

>Hong Kong has right-hand drive cars, a legacy of British rule This does annoy me. One third of the world drives on the left. It's not an oddity, it's just a thing.
