Are you sure it’s not a replacement for one of the Didcot power station cooling towers?

Possibly just very slow. Maybe you need to log in to MOS before you try using the link. I waited on my first attempt for a couple of minutes, then logged in and tried again - and got connected in less than 30 seconds (!)

True story:

One site I did some work for bought a load of new hardware then found that the power supply to the building wasn't big enough to run the airconditioning in the server room if they powered up all the new servers.

I had to write a note for myself to make sure I said what I meant with method_opt. , You need one more example because the "obvious" extrapolation from one column is not correct. What's the method_opt to gather histograms on just 2 (3,4..) columns:

Serious answer: someone uses sticky tape to stick a heavy and potentially life-threatening decoration to the ceiling.

"Surely no-one could be that stupid" - possibly the most commonly used IT "post-mortem" observation.

So when are you arriving - it'll be 6C max on Sunday, feeling like freezing until 11:00 am according to the current forecast from the UK met office:

Worst case is when someone adds a comment to tell you that you publish the same article 5 years previously!

Reminding yourself ... first you have to remind yourself that you HAVE written about the problem before, then you have to find the note that you wrote.

Some disappointing results, and some fantastic ones. Most of the dahlias I grew from seed have produced a respectable set of tubers, and the old non-productive potted plants my wife binned have recovered dramatically on splitting and planting out. Sadly a couple of my prize plants got some rot.

But if you don't have the courage to make the hypothesis and build the investigation you'll never learn anything new, and you'll never learn how to review "proofs".

What a shame they didn't label the low point the "Slough of despond"; poetic, a background of wry humour, and so accurate.

What would the AI "natural language" to SQL predicate do with those two.

(New abbreviation: WWAID".)

But will the AI ask you to clarify the question when you give it some natural language that is (humanly) ambiguous, or will it take the text as given?

(Thinking messy combination of ANDs and ORs - will the AI simply use logical precedence, or will it ask for clarification on bracketing?)

Unfortunately it's not documented and the suggestive "reset_value" column was blank for all the options I tried - but at least the names are there.
