Thank goodness, now I know my private keys have not been leaked ...

One interesting group is the compactly supported RBFs, for example those of Wendland https://math.iit.edu/~fass/603_ch4.pdf the advantage being that the resulting linear systems are sparse, useful when you have lots of points to interpolate and "gaps" is not an issue.

British politicians are notorious sloppy eaters, lots of crumbs to be had.

RBFs are splendid, but you don't need to have them "decay with distance", indeed, ones which don't (mutliquartics etc) often have better approximation properties and better-conditioned linear systems to solve, give them a go! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S09557...

As sure as eggs is eggs, there will be sightings of exotic predators (puma, leopard) by little old ladies in the next weeks ...

I wish there were more people like this.

Off by 2, not so bad

That's air-conditioning rather than alternating-current (both legal in the UK).

A friend and I bought a car with a busted door for £100 some years ago, we got a cheap replacement door, incompetently resprayed it to be roughly the colour of the rest of the car and sold it, for £100 :-|

Anyone who would run a random binary downloaded from the internet will probably be using the password "password"

Nice apples.

Typical rural plod brutality.

Interested readers might like to read my original submission at https://drafts.csswg.org/css-mixins/ which details the mixin proposal. No idea why it was changed to this earlier daft which does not :-|

40's a breeze, 41 is the bastard.

That would be helpful, there is a (badly placed) README https://github.com/farukalpay/Apple/blob/main/DriftPoC/READM...

Implicit rules are our friends, in life as in make.

C's still the boss.

I doubt it; JavaScript would suffer.

Nothing ever, dreadful town. Oh, reading ...

Would this be the same Guardian that sold out Sarah Tisdall? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Tisdall

Don't say that near Richard Dedekind, he'll cut you.

Less US demand for French wines? More for me :-)

There are these weird creatures in the deep ocean that spend the first part of their life swimming around and doing things. At a certain age, they give up on that and attach themselves to a rock and just filter plankton; since they no longer have need of their brain, they digest it.

So a bit like that then.

Nice to see that these attacks are evenly spread across the British class system ...

I'd install 'Stop the slop' like a shot
