My God. I would've been panned for that in university. Break it up with meaningful comments, rip some of it out into functions where possible, if you're leaving code in source which is commented out - at least leave a comment on w

The want for a traditional burial of some form isn't for the departed - as you say they have no need of it, it's so the family can grieve and have some form of closure and often a place to go and visit. This is going to entirely d

Very clever creatures. It's such a shame they only have a two year lifespan.

Yes making career moves from one technical field to another can be difficult - I hope you manage to find somewhere that'll take you on without putting you over a barrel. I've found that it entirely depends what level of embedded d

Have you considered getting into embedded development? You tend to be dealing with much lower level code and closer to the hardware. It's fun :)

For sure. Most of these have been in the Mobile Humble Bundle. I don't really buy mobile games outside of it.

It's a question of looking through heaps of shite to find a gem. There are decently designed mobile games out there, they're just rare when compared to the amount optimised for ad revenue. Hoplite springs to mind, and some of the

Yes - this is what I'd refer to as a drone, something that can autonomously fly. It just seems to be being used as a catch all scare mongering term for all RC aircraft though - and given how long they've been around with a perfect

"A small drone helicopter passed within 30ft of the cockpit of an A319 plane while on the approach to Heathrow" I really dislike the use of the word "drone" here. It really implies something that it's not - in that

Yeah I can see where you're coming from here, the Android example does resonate with me. Perhaps I'm not seeing the forefront of this movement because I'm using Linux so much nowadays - I guess I saw the bootstrap example and

I see - thanks for the explanation.

by Derpdiherp 11y ago
Do people use bootstrap for anything more than a landing page? I see what the author is trying to say - but the kind of design that they're highlighting as the "new simple. beautiful" interfaces is rarely used for any thing b

So HMRC is dodging paying tax on it's offices - to itself? I'm confused as to why they'd bother, couldn't they just take a bigger slice of the tax pie if they needed it to cover the cost of the offices?

How this ever made it onto the BBC is beyond me. "News Flash - Legendary programmer is not a people person"...

Sure - I tried it out just now, it's fine. Like any feature rich application, it takes a little time to learn the ins and outs, time saving features and such - but it's very usable for a site like hacker news, you can even navigat

You can save your cookie options by setting an option in lynx: http://lynx.invisible-island.net/current/README.cookies As the poster below me points out, you can navigate links pretty fast in lynx when you get the hang

Hmm. If you're wanting to browse websites from the terminal, why not just use something like Lynx?

So.. Linux then? Happily playing Hotline Miami and using all the programs you mentioned. Unless that's what you meant, in that case "whoosh over my head"

Honest question: Why don't they employ catalytic converters? Is the amount of exhaust just too much for them to be able to practically build them, or is it simply "We haven't been told we need one, so we're not going to

Entirely correct and well backed up with sources. Myself I mix my own e-liquid, whilst not knowing exactly what goes into them due to using flavourings made by flavour companies, I have a better idea than some. To avoid diacetyl just do not

Just took a quick leaf through an issue, really brilliant stuff! Thanks for pointing it out.

Perhaps it's irrelevant, but I wonder what effects the single child policy will have in the next few decades to Chinas ascendancy. The ratio of adult males to females is going to be very lopsided. Will the excess males join the militar

Been watching the development of this title for a while now - brilliant stuff. I'm so pleased the release has worked out well for you so far - even if only alpha. When I have the spare funds I'll be sure to pick up a copy!

While impressive, after watching his videos it becomes apparent it's a vulnerability in that one particular model of lock. Not quite as impressive.

I live in the UK and I don't have a garage either, I'm fortunate enough to live on a quiet enough street off of main roads though, so I do all my maintenance on the street. It's ok until the wind gets up, and genuinely pleasa

Motorcycles - There's no feeling like it, you get time to unwind and be in your own head if you need it, or you can push the envelope and empty your head of everything but the road. The maintenance / mechanics side is really rewar

Assuming that TOR isn't safe - which there's strong evidence to believe at the moment, and you can track down who's involved, crypto becomes as strong as the resistance to pain of the people involved.

Bah - I managed to get a few landsat images through the earth API. I was going to construct a timelapse of new orleans through the 2005 floods. But when I specify I date I'm always getting an exception - Exception: No imagery for spec
