In my role I've frequently had to interview software developers for the company I work for. We ask similar questions to this as the type of software we write needs an understanding of what's going on at a basic level. We've i

It's funny you should mention Toy Story. Pixar's John Lasseter is well known to be a friend of Miyazaki. Studio Ghibli even released a DVD of the home movie visit to America titled Thank You, Mr. Lasseter. http://www.na

A few years back I got a new washing machine. After a few weeks of use a light came on that simply said "Hygiene". I had no idea what this meant so looked in the manual. It turns out that the washing machine expects to have a 90 d

What I want to know is how will MailChimp behave after GDPR kicks in? Will they be more drastic in the clamping down offenders as the penalty for GDPR violations can be substantial.

Speaking to a few anime/manga fans I know Bemmu has to compete with giants like J-List who dominate this space. Then there are local "Kawaii companys" in each region, for example Tofu Cute in the UK. Why doesn't the Cand

Oh, yeah. I forgot about all the xww prefix for the intranet. I remember having a debate with another developer. He thought that an IP address started with 13 (13.X.X.X) was a generic internal IP address like 192.168.X.X. At the time Xerox
