Perhaps. As long as all the lighting is LED, that panel looks like it might be large enough to stock storage batteries that would cover the lighting for a few hours. It wouldn't do much more, though. That's not a very big panel.Quote:

Also, when we do get precipitation it generally isn't cold enough for it to fall as snow. What snow we do get seems to melt off by noon unless an inversion sets in and keeps a cold pocket of air trapped around us. For those who don't know, a cold pocket is like a hot pocket: There are lots of chunks of things floating around that you can't recognize, it's a bit soupy, and you have to heat it in an oven before it becomes hot. The nutritional value is about the same, though. With the sugar factory a few miles away, which processes sugar beets into sugar, an inversion that lasts long enough results in air so rich that you get about 50 calories/breath, along with 5% of the US RDA of beet.
Does the beet juice get atomized also? Do you get red snow?
I hear they have red snow in china.
Never mind. Don't beet your self up over it.
These beets are white. I hear they aren't all that palatable, though I've never tried eating one myself.
Everybody panic: The World Is Running Out Of Chocolate
I was actually aware of that due to a tour of a chocolate factory in St. Augustine on my honeymoon.Quote:

It's 51 degrees today and it's freezing! We have a low today of 28!!!
I can't wait until Friday, it'll warm up to 72.
It was 44 degrees this morning at eight. The sun warmed things up to a high of 55, but it clouded over and the temp has dropped again. Wind is about 10 mph making it cooler.
Thank goodness my new apartment has good heat. I'll post some pics tomorrow if I get up in time.
I'm in the UK.
So it's raining.

Nope, it was quite left.

I get a little quarky now and then.
By the way, thanks for your help on the expression evaluators. RPN was exactly what I needed.
In retrospect, I was trying to overcomplicate something, but it was because I was ignorant on the subject.
That RPN stuff is cool to work with!
Back in the day we used this stuff in commercial products - didn't have SQL to rely on. Had to make our own database!
Foul language. Banned!Quote:

P.S. Those are not acronyms.
What flavor is Juicy Fruit Gum?
Is the gum for when the baling wire, string and lint doesn't work?
I use JsonLint all the time

I'd guess at a vanilla/banana/crack-cocaine flavor.Quote:

The hole size was perfect for filtering out unwanted data.
You can see where ACCESS came from ;)
szlamany, how would you write your own database using RPN in theory?
The work you did so far was all about literals in the equations - getting run through your execute code so a final product could be arrived at.
You just need to support other then a literal - a reference to a field name would work. Then when you run your execute code and you come across a non-literal item, your code finds that value with whatever method works (like getting that field from a row in a dataset).
I posted a link back in that other thread to the set of "operators" and such that we supported back in my DEC PDP and VAX days. Some of the functions talked to our "data layer".
Here's a screen shot of a VAX utility for defining a database record. Code I wrote back in the 1980's. Still have some customers with VAX's that run. I'll post a series of screen shots to show you...
