Re: Bad reporting

I bought a house from a Trevelyan. A bit left leaning. That would normally have meant me getting abused during any conversations. But this person wasn’t like that at all. Extremely nice. Taught me to knit and gave me a pair of spats.

Re: My Dinner with ChatGPT

As for the other question, the first thing that attracted me to Julia was the fact that f(x) = x^2 is a well defined function, and one that can be applied to an integer, a float, or a square matrix. And if you  call it as f.(A), it will happily apply it element by element to A. The next one would b...

Mr Medvedev said that in his youth he and friends "used to talk about confrontation with the United States, about confrontation between the Warsaw Pact and the North Atlantic Alliance."

Warsaw Pact?! Can someone break the news to him?

I was one of the lucky ones who got the 3pm emergency phone alert test at 2:59pm. I like to think I was prioritized because I’m such a valuable member of society.

Re: What is Sunakism?

This is not the private sector, nor is it the military, it is somewhere between. And, yes, I expect civil servants to do what they are told within reason.

Re: What is Sunakism?
