I'm a big Linux fan, and use it as my daily driver but I can't understand why so many people are talking about Linux when it's been very clearly explained why the chose an MS stack. They had already got experience with it! Th

I'm a React Developer that uses Vim, and whilst I have reduced my .vimrc down a lot since I started playing with vim, I still use about 15 plugins such as Deoplete, tern, ale, fzf, a language pack (I'm always messing around learni

I'd just like to say thanks for working on Haiku. I enjoy playing around with it in a VM every now and again and it's a nice change from the daily driver. I'm a JS developer, but I enjoy learning and using C in my spare time.

Yeah, it's Amazon losing money.. Big deal. However it does make me wonder the same people that jump on these kind of deals and justify it (rightly or wrongly) would do it to a much smaller company or even a person that's selling s

Why? CEOs in the USA (and UK to be frank) earn way more than an average worker compared to many countries such as Japan. They do a look of work sure, but they needn't be paid so much.

If you like data and are a runner (or a cyclist.. I think they support cycling now) then I like https://runalyze.com/ . To be honest, if anything it gives me too much data as I don't know what most of it means but it&#x

Simply amazing, I asked their support if they would consider reversing their decision and stating that I dislike that they claim to own my data. They replied back with a generic response pointing to their update, so I replied with a request

Ok, so this comment is so cliche it's getting hard to ignore. Yes, JavaScript is abused but the problem is that people by large enjoy these types of site. I've never heard my parents or non-developer friends complain about a site

Can't speak for everyone in the UK, but at least in the area I live we use 'they/they're' a lot, and I don't believe it's a recent thing. We use he/she more, but using they isn't a rare thing.

This sounds great and makes a lot of sense, but how do I get bored? Last week I walked the Jurassic Coast alone, and I loved it but I don't think I ever felt bored. If I'm at home I love to read or program and in the mornings I lo

Jeez, the comments on the linked article are abysmal. If Firefox release a premium version, I'm very open to paying. I prefer to pay for things I find useful and a browser is arguably one of the most important programs on a modern mach

Well, I don't. I got rid of my iPhone 7 Plus and replaced it with a cheap flip phone. Haven't really missed my smart phone at all to be honest (Ok, if I'm really honest I miss Apple Pay!).

I'll offer a different view. I find GNUCash great for my personal finances. It's not too complicated I find, easy to navigate and works on MacOS and Linux (Which I need personally). Before this, I tried a few and all required payi

I understand what you're saying but one of the things I found attractive about the Norse gods was that they're not perfect. They are uncivilised at times! For me at least, I found I could relate to them better because of their fau

Yeah, I'm the same. If I get into a taxi I'll make sure I'm ready when they turn up, say 'hey' and then sit there. Maybe they think I'm rude, but I've paid them and thanked them, and I've not caused t

Yikes, reading this comment section is pretty eerie. People discussing a number that people who were paid for a service have given them. I'm glad I've never really needed Uber, traditional taxis have their problems but there'

Not that I'm defending Apple, but why is significant locations so bad? I turn it off because I don't need it, but my wife likes it being turned on and as far as I'm aware, the data is encrypted on the device and never leaves.

No, this isn't true at all and is a complete oversimplificiation. The whole rhotic 'R' is just one small part of an accent. Secondly, what is 'a British accent'? They change so often over here. It's just one
