  1. Professor Phil Motiarty at the University of Nottingham asked Chat GPT some really basic 1st year undergraduate physics questions.... it didn't manage a passing mark. Tom Scott asked it to write some code for him, after a number of revisions it managed to get it right... but would he have got it done faster by just writing the code himself? I'll be impressed by AI the month YouTube manages to recommend more than one good video.

  3. As a Javascript funboy can I just question your initial pronunciation of "Javascript" ;)

  4.  @NoBoilerplate  It was just that faint hint of contempt. ;) I've always had a love/hate relationship with JS.... "It is the best of languages, it is the worst of languages" and always feel the need to come to it's defence. ;)

  5. I love that... let's just give it some JS or Python.

  6. It's impossible to get the Hoare's back in the stable. ;)

  7. I didn't know the morse code test was dead.

  8. If programming languages were rockets... Rust would be the Falcon 9.

  10. Be nice to hear you talk about closures... I love a nice closure.

  11.  @NoBoilerplate  I'm not sure... I'm still just "Rust curious"... I've compiled once and had a fight with the borrow checker.... I know closures from JS and I say to people who like to use JS like it has classes "no... closures are beautiful".... I'm currently doing some Kotlin (more because I need an Android app than any specific desire for Kotlin) and I'm looking forward to my first closure there. I've got an embedded project on the horizon that would be nice to do in Rust..... but I'm still only "Rust curious" at the moment... I wonder if Antartica speaks Rust?

  13.  @NoBoilerplate  I looked into it long long ago in the 80s and it was just too expensive... 25 quid for a license and 25 quid for a little radio sounds nice.

  14.  @NoBoilerplate  I've not "gone TS" yet... but the lure of strong typing does seem awfully tasty. Sadly, most of what I do at work is PHP :( ... and you can be as disparaging about that as you like. ;)
