On a tangential note: got caught out be it saying "next Saturday" is the 24th. I know that this is common terminology, but to me next feels like it means soonest, and I know I'm not the only one.

I'd argue that ML is the more general term (that could even apply to computing a line of best fit, if you're an extremist). But yeah, it's just semantics at this point

That doesn't work

Man I loved Discworld as a kid. I remember my dad bringing it home on a burned CD from one of his cooler friends at work.

Also, it's bloody absurd that Chazza gets as much of a say in what happens to the IP as the guy that created it. If we needed any clearer indication that IP law is not about protecting or incentivising creators, this is it.

It's still "income" in the sense that it's money comeing in to his account. Only difference is that he didn't even need to do anything to earn it.

We used to tax capital gains at the same rate as income until it was slashed in 2008.

I do wonder what percentage of Linux users reject the survey compared to Windows users. Not that it's changed much, but every little helps right?

I do wish that people could take their health more seriously without being guilt tripped about struggling pubs.

I've been having a lot of fun with scheme lately (specifically guile, but I don't think it matters much). It's a very stripped down language compared to common lisp, so I felt it was easier to get started with.

Could be missing something, but this seems like very reliable card draw in white.

So where did his elbow go?

Is that an issue if you need to login first?
