  1. Oh, I thought the added u and the bar were just two different ways to indicated that the o is stretched (the u looking like a workaround to avoid special characters).
  2. You can still find ones that don't need to be registered online and will work without WLAN or app. They will not remember the room layouts and you won't be able to lay virtual fences, but apart from that they work fine.
  3. Ah, no risk, no fun! };->
  4. In case anybody is interested, when we generalize the concept we're talking about Dyck languages.

  5. No. Chaining subroutine calls is an implementation detail that is not inherent in the language, even if it may be a popular option because it is easy to do.

    The usual implementation options are subroutine threading, indirect threading, and direct threading.

  6. I just think it seems hugely inefficient for a waiter to ask hordes of non-allergic people for allergies for every one allergic person that could just as well announce theirs.
  7. Took the words right outta my mouth!

    Of course we want a full list of public functions with all the info. But with just a list of functions it's often still not quite clear how you're supposed to setup and call them, unless you dig through the whole list and try to understand how they interact internally. A few short examples on "How do I init the library/framework so I can start using it", "How do I recover from a failure case", etc. makes the docs infinitely more accessible and useful!

  8. In biochemistry there are multiple vendors that sell semi-to-fully automated setups that do large numbers of experiments in parallel.

    I have no idea what solar research experimentation looks like in detail, is it theoretically possible to build similar setups for that use case? Where exactly is the bottleneck?

  9. You might find "Open, Extensible Object Models" by Ian Piumarta and Alessandro Warth interesting.

  10. In a contest where both were allowed to actually use their own martial arts style.
  11. > If the lights maintained a constant bearing as the warship made way, it would have been obvious

    I'm not a mariner, but I learned this at some point in time, and I must say it also comes in handy on the road.

  12. > It doesn't make sense to follow hype into adventures with odds of success lower than gambling.

    Don't get me wrong, I agree. I'm just pointing out that for those who do manage to get funding (however fickle and/or unfair the process may be) all the natural risks of true entrepreneurship are moot.

  13. That's the fun part: If you find investors, then they're taking the actual risk while you pay yourself a nice salary.
  14. You mean sub-agent as in the formatting agent calls on the the search-and-filter agent? In that case you might just make a pipeline. Use a search agent, then a filter agent (or maybe only one search-and-filter agent), then a formatting agent. Lots of tasks work better with a fixed pipeline than with freely communicating agents.
  15. The relationship has been thought about for a long time. In 2006 it even led to the creation of the Hutter Prize, with around 38k€ payed out so far.
  16. Terry Pratchett was mostly a no-chapters guy, and I barely noticed until he mentioned it somewhere.
  17. Bearing in mind that the C60 study (from 2012) has never been succesfully replicated since, despite multiple attempts.
