"GCHQ told Sullivan that Sidebottom "had a small but dedicated following" among its staff."
Couple of people do Sidebottom dialogues as an in-joke to the extent that it begins to annoy co-workers.
"[After random outer triangles explained] 'Right, we've cracked it during a light-hearted training exercise.'"
Took a couple of minutes as a starter in a session.
PS: I use a Playfair style grid to jumble up my pass phrases to try to make them less susceptible to rainbow table attack. Am I wasting my time?
Bold Street and Jamaica Street might be good starting points, then there is Renshaw Street and the Baltic area.
"The first journey is a bus from the south of the city, Stirchley to, Birmingham. This 3.5 mile journey takes about 20 minutes between 6am and 7am, and about 40 minutes between 8am and 9am."
That would be the school run. To test my hypothesis, I'm going to try to run the results during a school holiday in a bit.
Very pleased someone has actually done what I have often thought about (but done nothing about) while standing at the 97 bus stop in the rain early in the morning... getting the data from the departure system. I wonder how I can get my hands on a sample of the data...
They could therefore argue for a mandate for the policy.
Publication records help to separate the wheat from the chaff.

The system was vulnerable to thunder storms I remember (line noise). All good fun.
Odds of no deal being offered 2/1, as is 2019 referendum

Neither have I, but I imagine that time, geography and economics will sort it out.
EU changing, old guard turning over. UK voters changing each year due to the grim reaper and 17 year olds turning 18 (about 600k churn each year).
Charts are really useful. Hope they are updated.
So the decrease in effort needed lead to an increase in analysis of the information captured in the system - new uses.
Old cards were useful for making revision notes as well. And the 'paperthrow' command got accidentally put inside a loop on my batch jobs sometimes so I had plenty of nice large lineprint paper for notes. 1970s at university in UK. (We did Algol 68 but then I had to deal with fortran later as a postgrad)
Things like scrolling down a recent issue Web site are the main reason I'm not still using a vintage unmodified X200. I realise that the OA quote was probably tongue in cheek but I do find that surfing the Web has become a processor intensive activity!
Most Victorian era houses have 'air bricks' in various locations (terracotta bricks with a small grid of holes in them) and the houses were pretty leaky.
UK government is moving to remove * cooking on open gas from the building regulations for new homes in a few years (big methane/burning fume generator). Eventually as post above parent says we will move to more rational ways of heating the houses. Piping an inflammable gas to millions of houses has always struck me as a bit strange.
UK: most of the bog standard double glazed windows have a little vent up at the top so you can open a fairly small slat and get a small air gap.
35min: his risk priorities are mould, particulate matter, volatile organic chemicals, co2, on the grounds that CO2 is easier to manage
"The UK is facing a maths crisis: according to a 2014 report from National Numeracy, four out of five adults have low functional mathematics skills compared to fewer than half of UK adults having low functional literacy levels."
And yet the pass rate at GCSE and previously GCE O Level has been fairly stable at roughly two thirds passing give or take a couple of percent for 60 years...

Boyle, Cavendish and their cohorts investigated a variety of sources and were not empiricists in the modern sense. Remember that they had e.g. no concept of yeast, bacteria, and yet saw the daily baking of bread and brewing of beer. Not surprising perhaps that they saw similar processes in the chemical realm? A flavour of the times slightly earlier can be seen in the use of astrology for medical purposes [2]

Computers are tools, endpoints these days. I have been happy with Linux but then again my needs are not super-complex.
I have a recent freetype with a defaultish configuration and the results on my small by today's standards monitors are readable.
Does anyone know of a portable basic interpreter that supports double precision all through?
The kind of stuff I (used to) do [2] requires more than 6 figures.
