If you’re going to put the island in the garden, I’d put it on the side with a door or it’ll be really inconvenient.

I bought one for child carrying and bikepacking duties, but it turns out that it is a blast on the trails too.

not sure whether hotlinking from google photos will work, but here goes nothing….

Recursion is great, in the right place.

For tree traversal it is hard to beat, for safety of life systems, not so much.

“For values other than 1 then the function recursively calls itself. You need to follow the call path through.”

‘recursion’ is the function calling itself, so ‘recursively calls itself’ is just confusing you.

What that is telling you is that when you call it with (1), it just does something then stops. When you call it with something other than (1), it will go to the other half of the ‘if’ statement and work out the answer by calling itself.

Trace it through until you get to a recursive call – like P1(n-1); write down your value of ‘n’, go back to the start and run through with the new value of n. When you have finished, you will return to where you were before, and use your previous value of n.

This is called pushing and popping the call stack, it is how most languages manage control flow.

Sorry, that wasn’t very helpful – If you are still struggling, just try following the code as explicit instructions line by line, writing the output as you go.

Remember that once you’ve done (a), you already know the output for P1(1), and so on, so you don’t necessarily need to work it all out again.

Hopefully my answer will help you to trace it through.

Build some jumps?

Produced some excellent sitcoms

I’m in exactly the same boat.

My eldest is 4 on saturday. He is currently on a frog 43 (cnoc 14 equivalent), and he is now too big for it (seatpost past the min insertion line).

All the measurements say to get a 16″ wheel bike, but I think I might get away with a beinn 20 small.

I reckon if I stretch him out until Christmas, I might get away with it. I’ll take him to a bike shop to give it a try soon.

We were told by our local police that if you suspect a driver is smoking weed, call 999 immediately.

Bunch of loud teenagers smoking, drinking and shouting outside our window at midnight were our first test of this advice – The 2 police cars, 1 van and an unmarked X5 that turned up in minutes, took their car to pieces and nicked a few of them showed us that it works :)

They might take that phone call more seriously than the close pass, so could be worth a go.

shouldn’t you be posting this in the game of thrones thread? :wink:

Static hosting on AWS S3

If it is static hosting you’re after, just stick in in an amazon s3 bucket

Google home + some chromecasts for the win

Ok google, play 6 music
Ok google, play AC/DC in the living room
Ok google, play some jazz downstairs – chromecast ‘group’, 2 google homes and a chromecast audio for me.
Ok google, play better call Saul on the tv – finds it on Netflix, turns the TV on and plays it!

What a time to be alive :)

Possibly a safety thing… if there are rounding a mark after a downwind leg to turn out to sea there’d be a lot of boats trying to make the turn together; sounds like they have added an extra leg that they have to do without chutes to force them to all drop them early and pay attention to the turn.

oh, was that the end of the race?

in that case, they’ll have dropped the asym as soon as they crossed the line as they’re a pain to deal with. They’ll have kept the main and jib up (easier to deal with) so they could get themselves home.

That’s not a spinny, it’s an asymmetric.

They only work on broad reaches (heading across and away from the wind, rather than purely downwind, where a spinnaker would be better).

What direction is the leg after the control boat?

Depends for what purpose – I used to have a Kombi as a company van, under the flat rated BiK for company vans thingy (100% personal use, £5000 BiK flat rate), but the rules have changed now and only panel vans can use that deal, so I have bought out the van personally now.

It doesn’t help that HMRC are internally inconsistent. If you buy a Kombi as a company asset, you can claim the VAT back, because it is classed as commercial, but if it is used for anything other than 100% business usage (no commuting or anything), it is counted under the company car rules.

For some reason, you can still get away with a double-cab pickup, but they have clamped down on crew cab vans. A shuttle was always a car in the eyes of the BiK man as far as I know, and would definitely count as a car nowadays.

I’ve got it – it’s great

Netgear Arlo will get you up and sorted quickly. Completely wireless, but they’re quite thirsty on batteries.

Plastic pedals worth having:

our two from sofa workshop are going strong after 10 years. Bit faded where they’re sat in the sun, but not too bad.

Cushions and bases still near perfect.

Dave

got 1941 on my first try – 91.5% accuracy, 49.5 wpm

very very confused by not needing to type a space between words – I think that spoiled my accuracy :)

will try again when I don’t have a headache!

Can you split the big room in half with a partition wall?

It’s not that big, just twice the size of the box room. Don’t really want 3 box rooms ;)

Unless the guests have some massive reason for owning their own space in his house – and they may be frequent visiting disabled parents or something so perfectly justified – I don’t see why the kids aren’t afforded the priveledge.

Capacity for people to visit means that we have more people to ride/drink/talk with (friends spread out over the country, mostly with kids these days, so space for a travel cot / fold out bed is useful)

Also a bonus is that a comfy bedroom == grandparents == free babysitting == date night :)

Play rooms upstairs I don’t understand, get them playing in the living room or somewhere else downstairs.

Given that we’ve got the space, it would be nice if the living room was a bit less of a toy shop.

Also, I really like the idea of having a bedroom that is just for sleeping, with no distractions. If one of them gets up earlier, then can go into the play room and not disturb the other (or us).

Current compromise being discussed is the big room shared as bedroom and playroom, the little room as my office, and the guest room as is.

Or option 3

You get the titchy room for your home office and the boys get decent sized rooms!

That is the long term (teenage) plan… suppose we could do that straight off, but it’s not that great when people come to stay with small kids (fairly frequent)

You lot aren’t really helping me. She’s started reading the replies now, and is quite smug about all the people agreeing with her!

I went last month in my LWB transporter (with pop top), booked as a high van. The lady on the checkin window told me that in future I should book as a high car.

HTH

Bought ours from here[/url] recently. I was surprised by how reasonable the price was, especially considering you could pick any of the colours for any of the beds.

I have an accountant I trust, which helps a lot.

A few mates have recently set up with https://www.crunch.co.uk[/url%5D and they recommend it. If I wasn’t already sorted, I’d be looking in to doing that.

Dave

if you’re an internal app, do you need the encryption in https?

http would be simpler, and no need for the everlasting headache of certificates

Forget CGI.. host the HTTP requests in your program – effectively making your program a web server.

What language are we talking here?

is it secret?

What is the plan for the previous day? How about a day on the beach at Le Touquet?

Plenty of campsites, and about an hour from Calais.

Looks like a great idea, but I’m still boycotting Knog because the ruined the STW calendar a few years back.

Dave

UE Boom – it has no right to sound as good as it does.

Just got back from a week skiing, using it all evening, every evening in the chalet, and it was only down to 40% charge.

Jealous… sounds awesome. How long are you taking?

Haven’t done it, but I’d have thought the obvious advice was to go the other way.

Nantes to Dijon is all uphill… why not make it easier on yourself and go all down?

Dave

Really good steaks but go there hungry and share a Porterhouse.

Been there before… and I didn’t share it :) ate all 850g myself :mrgreen:
