Where does someone like Rover fit in to your matrix? If I can respectfully recommend. If you can go have a read of "We sell our time no more" by Paul Stewart.

Tory governance and fiscal policies had all the responsibility for Leyland, Hillman and more importantly Rover.

I've looked at this question in Rugby Union. In my opinion. The travel issue is the main factor for home advantage. Travelling is physically and mentally tiring. If you can ease the travel methods. Where you either cultivate a team environment where people will be at ease being away from home / home base. Or travel earlier and in better form. Then you will end up with better away results.

Raspberry Pi 5 3 years ago

There was at least one NUC with a full GPIO header set. The DE3815TYKHE. I've done motor control, I2C and sensor IO with it and it was rock solid on that little NUC.

There was also the UP Board which was an Atom SOC with PI compatible GPIO. I believe that's still in production?!

I feel complete sympathy. I have a "perpetual" license for Minitab 15. Can I install it in a VM? Yes. Can I activate it? Nope? Can it be used without activation? Nope! So it's useless and has been now for years.

Minitab's solution was to offer me a 10% discount on a new pay by month license.

No thanks, I'm off to pandas and for quick investigations I'm using Wizard for OSX which is absolutely blow your socks off amazing the first time you slice and dice a record set and do comparative analysis with them looking over your shoulder. https://www.wizardmac.com

Mate of mine used to have conversations with the postman on postcards that while while they were addressed to us ALL the text was directed towards the postman. It's been over 30 years. But they'd read something like; "Hi Mr.Postman, hope you're having a good day. The weather here is quite lovely. I've been drinking quite a bit. How's your rounds going? Hope it hasn't been raining too bad? Have you broken in the new boots yet? I hear you're getting new bicycles?" Then the answers would be written in tiny writing in between the questions.

Since Ireland got what we're calling eircodes (post codes for Ireland) we can now have a house level address in 7 chars. So mine is Xxx XXxx I really must try and send myself something with JUST that on the label?! With a wee apology on the back for taking the piss.

But what's today for me is yesterday in New Zealand and if I'm on the West Coast of the US or Hawaii then that can go on for a 'long time'? If I then go +1 then that's just going to end up in the same rat race / breakages.

Monodraw is an awesome tool to have in the toolbox. It's just damn fun to use. It got me out of a hole during my most recent foray into education too.

People's biggest complaint everytime it's mention on here seem to be that there's no WinX version. Okay, if you want one then go write one? I know I'd pay € for it.

I've been stuck in a WinX world recently and have started using Kroki for structured graphable info. For the most part it 'works' but it's not as much fun to just draw like Monodraw allows. Asciidraw doesn't quite hit the same sweet spots for me and I find it finicky and inaccurate.

The main problem with datalists are that browsers tried to work around them with autocomplete which overlay on top of the datalist. Ridiculous situation.

So Zora is just a renegotiation of the contracted paradigm it rails against whilst not really changing anything?

Sloan does make the point though that changing anything in the object changes its nature and that new object can then be resold on. The Zora model doesn't really solve anything when you can change one bit of a digital object and have essentially the same object? Does it?

You have to give up all rights and derivative rights? Riiiiiighhhhht. Okay. So this thing I've built I'll just sign it away to you for a 'chance' of a prize?

Wizard is an awesome tool for initial investigation and initial slicing and dicing of incoming data. For trying out ideas and seeing if what you're "seeing" in the data might be worthy of further investigation and hypothesis testing.

It isn't R, SPSS or Minitab. It's brilliant at what it does and I love it. I've been using it for 3 / 4 years and wouldn't swap it for any other tool.
