Looks like everyone's asleep so I'll take it
Burrito
Spanish ass = Burro

Burro. I always confuse that with the word for digging…
That’s right - I can’t tell my ass from a hole in the ground!!!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Just play Elite Dangerous and you will get proven technology if you buy a crate, I mean Krait Mk. II:
Krait: MY COFFEE MAKER! : EliteDangerous[^]
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

When we bought the F16 fighter planes around 1980, people questioned the cost. E.g. the cockpit had a coffee maker costing around NOK 4000 - that would be more than NOK 16,000 today, or almost USD 2000.
The explanation given was that the coffee maker had to be usable even when the F16 made a dive, i.e. in a weightless environment. I guess the pilots really need a cup of coffee to relax by when they are in a dive.
So we have had the technology available for 40+ years. Maybe production has been optimized so that the cost is even less than USD 2000.

Use a espresso machine: they are steam powered so should work in zero g, with a few important modifications ...

Nah! Use an ordinary machine - just whirl it around your head while it's brewing.

You are going to have to do that really, really carefully: if you don't spin it to get exactly one g, then it'll be too weak, and if you get too many g's you'll not get time to develop the flavours as it filters through the grounds.

That happened to a friend of mine once... Or at least, so he claims!

I've been hunting for an algorithm for computing FOLLOWS(k) sets for LL(k) grammars. It's a parsing thing.
The only thing google is returning me on it is a dead link referred to on a newsgroup. I try to use google to get to a cached copy of the link but google is taking me back to the newsgroup page that links to the link I want.
I found another reference to it on like stack overflow or something, and they referred me to Dick Grune's book which I already have, and doesn't cover it very well if at all (my memory is hazy but if it was in there I would have known, as I am the mad captain and LL(k) is my white whale)
I think I might have to figure it out myself, and that worries me. To say it's non-trivial is a bit of an understatement. There are several ways to do it, and most require permutation and exponential growth of parse tables.
I don't know how to properly permutate follows sets. It's confusing.

honey the codewitch wrote: FOLLOWS(k) sets
Do you mean "first and follow sets"?
|
|

FOLLOWS(k) sets particularly for where k>1
FOLLOWS(k=1) I can do, but there's a monumental difference in implementing k=1 and k>1, unfortunately.
k is a convention used to indicate the number of lookahead symbols.

Hmmmm,
Found a paper from Oxford that describes how to construct first and follow sets for arbitrary k. He gives an example for LL(5).
The LL(f inite) strategy for optimal LL(k) parsing[^] by Peter Belcak
I can comprehend alot of very complicated things, but this paper is very hard to understand.

I was hoping for something with less math, but thanks.
I never went to uni, so my exposure to math formalisms is limited
Edit: Actually, that paper is very good. I don't understand all of it yet, but the author seems to be explaining the formalisms used so that I can potentially understand them. Thanks for the link!

You are welcome. 
For what it's worth... I e-mail postdoc and researchers all the time. I've e-mailed two universities this weekend asking to obtain their text corpus for my NLP project.
It doesn't hurt to e-mail the guy and ask if he has an implementation you can take a look at. Also... if you look in the bibliography at the bottom of the paper some of those links go to other parser projects.
Best Wishes,

You might try the Computer Science library of your local University. The librarian is likely to be able to refer you to appropriate books.

Yeah, and a lot of those assume a background in mathematics that I lack. I've gotten only so far with things like the dragon book.
