“Paul, your wife is calling. It is an emergency.”

“Later. We’ve got a lot of work to do”

I kind of got vibes of this AI video using streaming king Asmongold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjoYy5IVtfo

I don't get the constant "we're screwed" rhetoric. Why do you think this?

I hope it's the next step on. Goggles 2010 would compare the photo for similarities with other photos (I guess) where I'd like to think this would know the objects within the photo. This would likely improve better feedback. I'm likely wrong, but you never know.

My guess? a smart phone that has machine vision built in? ten four? sounds like tensor flow - machine learning.

Interesting how the search box grew to include images...

Interesting thanks, I'll look into it. Your earlier comment has sent me down a Postgresql logicdecode/Kafka/Hadoop rabbit hole. Funny where you end up.

Is this an observation or have you done/seen this in action?

I ask because for my next project I'd like to tackle the issue of having to keep lots of Databases up to date with their stored procedures. Kind of wanted a common library of procs that any DB can access. I've seen third party Software do DB versioning etc but too expensive for me. A few do it via package management, but keen to see how others are doing it!

today = 2011.

Last week it was Yahoo

Looks okay to me

I guess the acronym gives it away, Structured Query Language. Things can get pretty hairy when playing around with triggers, indexes and foreign keys, not just the SQL itself. I'd imagine for 85k you'd need to have experience in replication and table partitioning. I also think the difference between a 25K and 85K developer would be the difference in execution time of a SQL block of code. It's amazing how much you can speed up queries by re-factoring the code as well as knowledge of using different types of indexing strategies. I've used SQL for 15 years, but not exclusively - it's always wrapped up with other needed skills. HTH!

I was at a Meetup.com Mysql meeting and one of the talks was on the CONNECT engine. The demo showed CONNECT working with Sybase using all the SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE commands, although the EXPLAIN command didn't show any indexes being used. Still impressive.

My i7 almost melted

+1 Loved this series. Had a real sense of 'William Gibson' about it.

Not the first time, see here;

There was an expo in Venice a few years ago featuring his photography work before he become a film director. The man really knew how to capture mood through his knowledge of light. His time in old New York City produced some fantastic pictures of people and their locations.

I grew up with the Oric, Spectrum then the Amiga and 486 PC. This guy reminded me of those horrible load times and why kids today simply wouldn't have the patience to hang around.

Pickup iPad, press game icon, play game.

However, great to see Last Ninja 2!

It would be far better for handsets to just support UMA. I did enjoy this feature on my Blackberry on the Orange UK network. The only thing that's decent about them to be honest.

hmmmm, is the secret Valve tv/games console Linux based?

Just noticed the AD BLOCK on the McDonalds advert on the road!

I found an almost new iPod that had been dropped on the floor. I spent a few minutes looking for the owners details but other than a few Rihanna tunes and rap videos watched on Youtube I couldn't establish the owners contact details.

SO I gave it into the local police station. I asked if I could collect it if no one claimed it within 30 days. No. It comes under data protection act and have to be destroyed. Bloody UK law.

I hope they don't do a follow up video for the beef! I'd hate to know what's in it.

I do love these insights into the old days. If this works then maybe other old skool developers might fancy a pension top-up. Hopefully Ian Bird or Julian Gollop are listening!

Alexander Armstrong did an amazing job. If not already done so, check out the pirates of silicon valley.

How spooky, I was in Harare just two weeks ago for a friends wedding. The electrical grid only seemed to work for a few hours, however with a backup generator the Internet seemed reliable!

"It's the kind of money where I'll be wearing whatever I want when somebody invites me to a wedding." - great comment.

I do miss TechTV, had some classic moments with Kevin, Alex and the team

Until that 1 person goes elsewhere, then you have no business!

In that case, do you need your idea? rather than developing something that's just a cool thing to do or has been developed by others 1000 times over.

If you find it useful, odds are others will.

I think a more important question is "would people pay me for my idea?"
