Interesting approach. Unfortunately the code apparently has no licence so we can look but cannot touch (possibly this is an oversight).

"Flowers of speech" is not, as far as I know, idiomatic English, but it should be: fantastic!

Quite true, Stilton is revolting

I certainly don't mind, generally it's the information that I'm interested in. In your case, I could not tell that your English was non-native :-)

Somewhere in a canteen in Langley, two young men are hooting with laughter about their latest "psycop" wheeze. A much older man leans over, "That's nothing, we persuaded the world…

I stand corrected, thank you. I would normally have said "serious bollocks", but this forum is mostly left-ponders who would probably not have caught my drift.

Peter van der Linden beat them to it with his 1994 classic "Expert C Programming Paperback, Deep C Secrets" (outstanding book BTW).

C++ impregnates the tissues, and then it hardens and settles like silt. It makes your aorta stiffer than a hockey stick. Whereas C caresses your insides, leaving nothing behind but its scent

When I started school, I misheard the hours as 2 days on, 5 days off. Come the Wednesday, I was rather put out (and remain so).

I think its justified

It is a fine country, marred only by the difficulty in finding a decent curry.

Perhaps my point is misunderstood here: it is that if we think of mathematical truth as being based on intuition, then since what can be intuited depends on the species, on the society, even on the in…
