These signs are starting to appear at various locations around Western Australia. I'm super chuffed! Though most of the work was done by WA Astrotourism.

There are plenty of layers of bureaucracy between Trump and the missileers in the bunkers. In the first instance, Trump's orders would go to the Pentagon chiefs of staff. I imagine they might call Congress to see if it was time to invoke the 25th amendment.

Peterborough cathedral have a really nice contactless donations box by the door. Simply touch your card to give £5. I'm surprised these aren't installed more widely!

I think it's hugely personal. For me: Bad: chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, doing work, thinking about work, backlit screens. Good: fruit juice, sugary decaf tea, audio books, relaxation, walks. Absolute magic: ibuprofen.

Sounds good. Plus, if you do decide you want to play with RNNs, the GPU will come in handy ;-)

Looks like a good system to me. Do you need the graphics card? Intel graphics is good enough for office work. More RAM is probably the first upgrade to consider if you want extreme numbers of browser tabs. But it's very easy to add more later if needed.

I build a lot of PCs and am happy to answer questions. Though my experience mostly with serious data crunching machines. You don't need 32GB RAM for light video editing. 16GB will be fine. I'd personally buy Intel i7/i9. AMD cheaper, but I still don't entirely trust them.

I'm surprised people say there's no convention here. In software engineering, the C math library's round() function rounds midpoint cases away from zero, and I would consider any programming language not following C conventions to be "non-standard".

Sort of depends where you draw the line, but map-makers / surveyors and all pre-1960s sailors relied trigonometry a lot.

@intellijidea Is this warning message a bug in your python code analysis? The variable destination is conditionally redefined, which is OK?

A 747 doesn't prove anything, except that when you reach the edge of the flat Earth, you come back on the other side!

Next up, Aprajita Verma tells the BAA Winchester weekend about the European Extremely Large Telescope.

Weather forecast is favourable for nacreous clouds across the UK over the next half hour! Look for bright / iridescent clouds after sunset.

@clion_ide @jetbrains I'm afraid the code sample I was playing with belongs to client. But I'll let you know if I find open source example

@clion_ide @jetbrains I'm a huge fan of IntelliJ, so I want to use CLion if I can only get it to work usefully! :-)

@clion_ide @jetbrains Also, renaming local vars (Shift F6) in funcs often said "no references found". Not even the ref I'd just highlighted!

@clion_ide @jetbrains I tested on C code, and found undefined var references weren't flagged up. Though CTRL-B correctly said undefined.

@jetbrains Just tried CLion, but it seems very buggy. Your release page concedes most compiler errors not highlighted. When's a fix likely? – at East, England

Late night tuning session on the @MeteorPi camera in @SciAnsell's loft!
