Excuse me for asking, but are you a cat?

(You know how they love keyboards, so..)

Cool! I have a question about lottery numbers..

According to https://github.com/pgsty/silo it's pgsty/silo now:

Have you published any of these stories online? I'd love to read some!

I am hoping for a fossilized X-wing.

"Death Valley" is a recent gentle comedic crime detective series on the BBC (iPlayer), set in Wales and the characters frequently break into Welsh (with English subtitles). It's lovely to hear!

According to the ejection seat manufacturer [1] there is no minimum height or speed at which the ejection seat can be used, so as long as the aircraft is roughly level then the ejection should be survivable.

Does the phone make a different kind of noise, so you'd potentially associate that with "get off the ladder quick"!?

True - but if you erode that trust then your users may go elsewhere. If you keep the ads visually separated, there's a respected boundary & users may accept it.

Fan noise might be another consideration, given that some projects have to share a home with a family. Anyone know whether the N150 makes much noise?

The map seems to be based on monitoring stations in the different locations, so yes - it's also possible that a station is offline for other reasons (maintenance, etc).

There's a map of realtime load flow here: https://gridradar.net/en/wide-area-monitoring-system (currently shows Spain and Portugal as 'offline')

Ah, the retro equivalent of "curl -L <script-url> | bash" ... :)

A friend recommends SayHi, which does near-realtime speech-to-speech translation (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sayhi.app&...). Unfortunately it's not offline though.

A valid question, perhaps I should have linked to the Polaris Dawn website: https://polarisprogram.com/dawn/ Apologies!

As a British person, I find all the current OpenAI voices have overly strong (American) accents, which are way too perky/enthusiastic for my ears. It would be great if they could offer a more neutral accent, or even one British accent? (Example: Voice 5 from pi.ai is excellent, IMHO)

Sussex? We used it in COGS and I think it was one of very few places teaching with it at the time.

IIRC, The Angelic (pub in Islington, London) used to play comedy shows from BBC Radio 4 on a loop. Makes customers smile, covers up noises - everybody's happy.

You might enjoy DI FM [1] which I've found has an excellent range of faster and slower tempo music for programming.

Good question, does this mean my family's holy grail of performant Minecraft on a Pi is coming closer?

Would this work over larger distances - e.g. remote sensing from space?

What are we going to do with all those dormant pipes? Could some clever startup use them to route physical packets of stuff? :)

Given that any previous water in the atmosphere has mostly escaped over time, the dome seems like a better bet.

"use", not "usage". </joke>

What about embedding into the walls themselves?

Only a guess, but at that time wasn't the GPS signal intentionally degraded for non-US-military use, with reduced accuracy? Perhaps they're talking about the more precise signal, which the US didn't let them use.

Microservices is a back-end service pattern. MVC (Model View Controller) is a front-end pattern to enforce separation between data, UI and interaction logic.
