Traffic lights worldwide set to change after Swedish engineer saw red over getting a ticket
Monday 21st October 2019 11:46 GMT 
Re: Show this to the Mexican police
The same thing applies in the UK only it's official... If you pay up a speeding or traffic light ticket then they offer a discount if you're good and pay up; if you'd like to dispute it and go to court then you get walloped with a big fine if found guilty.
The alternative is to just obey the rules -->

Yay, Intel chip shortages should be over soon! Nope. Strap in, at least another quarter or two to go, say PC execs
Monday 21st October 2019 11:38 GMT 
There are two possibilities, according to Lanci: production issues, though he said Intel should have rectified this by now, or a "problem with the architecture of the CPU. If this is the problem, it is unpredictable."
Speculation* on my part: maybe they're trying to fix all the Meltdown/Spectre/side channel issues in hardware -->

Re: El Reg has heard of these workaholics but doesn't believe they exist outside Dilbert cartoons.
Before I moved over here I was with a teacher. She'd receive emails after 11 from both parents and her headteacher; both would expect a reply by the morning. Sadly she burnt out and ended up in psychiatric hospital. She's since taken a massive pay cut and is doing a much less stressful job.

Chemists bitten by Python scripts: How different OSes produced different results during test number-crunching
Tuesday 15th October 2019 07:06 GMT
Re: Fixing the symptom…
Here each chunk of data was stored in two files that the script needed to match and didn't because of the way that each OS returned the list of files to Python. If the instrument put the lot into HDF5 then it'd probably be better.
The output from Ilumnina sequencers is actually stored in the same way, each samples' data is in a pair of "fastq" files.

Re: Stating the bleeding obvious part #261
This programme is normally used right at the start of discovering a drug; there would be years of lab testing before it even hits a human for the first time. There would then be multiple rounds of clinical trial, usually at the late stages of drug development there would be multiple statisticians working independently on the data ensuring that they can get equivalent results to each other.

Re: borders to be regularised or smoothed out by mutual agreement
Customs are separate to Schengen. The customs can stop anyone anywhere in the Country (this was introduced with Schengen). This can mean if you're naughty and don't declare your shopping or other stuff then you get fined or even prosecuted in extreme cases.
The reality though is that people bring things over the border all the time and regard the occasional fine as "worth it".
