Funny, as I'm starting to use it more and more. If I want windsurfing, snowboarding or skateboarding tips the quality can be excellent. There are some great SEO channels and stuff for CSS Grid. Even with my son, we can get short lectur

For every Startup raising $X million in funding there are probably a thousand solo entrepreneurs bootstrapping their way into profitability. The spotlight only shines on "Startup X raises millions in new round". Side projects are

AFAIK a container ship has about 30 crew. Most of which are maintenance and engineers. You would need those people anyway. Most shipping companies use cheap labour now. I imagine the largest cost after the ships themselves is fuel.

Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are very volatile. Seeing a 5% movement in the market and giving it a title 'Sense of Panic' is not really great journalism in my opinion.

$1 million invested in property giving a rental income of around $4000 pcm. Alternatively, a boostrapped SaaS with $4000 MRR (Monthly recurring revenue.) The latter is easier to achieve.

The one that springs to mind for me is https://chain.com/ They manage balances. Sounds easy, just a database column? The problem with storing balances is securing it against unauthorised users. i.e. Hacker, DB admin. A bloc

You nailed it for me there. I'm in the closed period I guess. I've had a lot of 1 on 1 in my second language but quit. I was fed up of getting corrected all the time. Makes conversation a bit dull when the teacher interrupts. Migh

That would be an awesome attack. Supply journalists with harmless USB devices. Then pass around a fully weaponised PDF. For the those that think malware in PDF's are history, here's a link to 2 zero days found just this march. ht

Yes, they do. I'm on the other side of B2B cold emails. I receive them. I also receive stuff on linked in. I very rarely reply as a lot of them are generic and they don't have my interests at heart. Sometimes someone comes through

You're thinking of swift from a banking customer perspective. The banks don't pay high fees to Swift, they just charge you high fees. But, if you can avoid that with crypto then good on you.

Ripple wants to be a global payment platform for banks. There's just one problem, the banking world already has a platform (created by the banks) called Swift. Nearly every bank in the world is signed up to this platform and the banks

The problem is that if you split a web development team into front and backend you've killed the project. There's now too much back and to with meetings to coordinate how the front and back connect. Better to have each developer f

I would pay $1000 for a bootstrap landing page for my site. Not a theme, but someone who actually collects the benefits etc and rolls it into something that looks great. I would pay $100 a month for someone who can write technical articles

The only thing that would get me off Rails is an opinionated framework with static type checking. I need * Migrations * Models with validations * Views (prefereably statically typed) * Controllers with built in routing and type safe routing
