@joncoupland I love my Rover 45 with the K Series, but I honestly think the O series is a better engine.

#BuildToGive. Me and my wife built these hearts at the Lego store in Disney Springs, Orlando.

@ShawnHymel This is good to know. Anecdotally, I always felt I learned and remembered more from traditional chalk and talk lecturing where I took my own notes.

@joncoupland Can't find a closing date online, outside of next year and a statement of "plenty of time" left to catch the show. I do wish theme parks would announce closures early and clearly so people can plan last visits...

@hackaday Ownership of test gear does not quantify experience or proficiency. We should normalise describing project work, it gets the hands-on experience across better and is far more equitable.

@joncoupland @Argos_Online Our local Argos does not even have the conveyer belt of dreams anymore 😞

I don't know how they do it, but you can add inventing the perfect sports drink to the list of Japan's accomplishments. Uncanny. Tastes like how water tastes in a dream.

So, I coded a class in Python to do a heavy processing of a large text corpus. I made sure it works as expected. Then I asked Claude to rewrite my class in C (the language I don't know) and explain how to run it. Result: Python processing time: 63 minutes. C processing time: 2.3 minutes. This is the future for production cost savings.

@tomfleet No fuse either by the looks of it!

[Dr Richard Nock @RichardNock]

@Ascii211 @mikelectricstuf Yeah, my wife built one on her PhD. I thought the name was a joke at first too!

@ZJAyres Not a chemist, but I think this is true for all fields: "Experience varies in direct proportion with the amount of equipment broken."
