    How do you know what’s it supposed to do, if no one actually wrote that down, other than

    As a person.
    I would like it to work
    So i can do the things.

    To be fair, at least that’s something…

    Or maybe for testing the documentation is the code. The code does this, write a test that accepts it does this.

    I like the concept of describing things in scenarios and having data objects embedded in the scenarios. I think gherkin if a bit too restrictive, the same way user stories are, but a more natural verbose scenario that was parameterised with variables tied to actual data makes it explicit what is supposed to happen and what data the system will consume, create or manipulate.

    E: there is of course other types of documentation available

    Yeah, I don’t really like the idea of training everyone to be killing machines. But a national program to do all the other things associated with military training, such as fitness and basic survival training seems like a good thing.

    But arguably these are things that could be done in national education programmes anyway. The Tory scumbags are just trying to appeal to bloodthirsty gammons. They have no interest in actually making society a healthier and happier place, they are always only interested in wealth and power.

    Although, there may be a potential pragmatism in being prepared for shit kicking off with Putin. But it can’t be forgotten that they have blame in that rise to power too, taking backhanders and advantage of the right wing populism campaigns Putin’s been running for decades now.

    Well, what I seen this image as was the classic divide and conquer strategy of the capitalist classes against the working class and/or arbitrary race category to enable them to control and/or murder at will.

    However, this image is actually a complete gas lighting exercise in using toxic characteristics from capitalism to describe communism. I didn’t notice the hammer and sickle, which to be fair makes no fucking sense…

    The relevance to the above post was really trying to play on

    “The Production of too many useful things results in too many useless people”

    which I take as a satirical poke at the deficiencies of capitalism, although it’s of unknown origin as far as I know…

    If automation does reach a point where labour isn’t needed, then it may well encourage the likes of Murdoch et al to intensify the encouragement of class war.

    Sorry, I clearly don’t pay enough attention to the shit I post :(

    They’ll have modelled the acoustic signals to differentiate between different keys. Individual acoustic waves eminating from pressing a key will have features extracted from them to identify them. Opimal featues are then choose to maximise accuracy, such as features that still work when the signal is captured at different distances or angles. With all these types of singsl processing inference models, you never get 100 percent. The claim of 95 percent is actually very high.
