I feel your pain. The same thing happened to me about two months ago, but sadly my laptop never recovered. When the tea hit the laptop there was a load of buzzing, and that was the last of that laptop... Luckily, the hard drive survived, so

For C#, the book I always find myself going back to is C# In Depth by Jon Skeet. It's one of the most accessible books I've read, and it's one I always recommend to other devs that are interested in the language. http:/

Could both not exist together? I have to claim ignorance on the idea of unions and chartered professions, because I've never worked in an industry where they've been an option. In the UK, unions tend to have a bad rep, and any tim

This link has already been posted, but I think it deserves some discussion around the subject of unions. https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/programmers-... A union doesn't necessarily seem s

Twitter is all in the users. If they start charging for an account then they lose their users, and therefore a large chunk of their appeal. With that being said, I don't know why they don't charge for verification. Hell, open up a

Nope, not really. I usually check my phone if I get a notification, and once I'm done with my phone I get back to my work. If I'm swamped and I've not received a call I'll leave my phone until I'm at a natural break

For those of us that work on bog-standard websites for clients, I definitely agree with some of the points. I've worked on numerous projects where the latest and greatest tools at that time were used wherever they could have been used,

I've been made redundant once before, but luckily landed on my feet right away as my contract (and the companies clients) were taken over by another company. The best advice I can give as someone on the other side is to: 1. Do it quick

While she's entitled to share her music with whoever she pleases, fans aren't going to see it that way. They'll see a greedy artist that wants more money, and is happy to restrict what is essentially uploading a bunch of musi

I wonder how many people will pirate Taylor Swift's music since she's exclusively linked to Apple Music? I'm willing to bet a lot of Spotify users will dust off uTorrent (or whatever people are using for torrents nowadays) an

The main thing I want from Microsoft is for .NET to be fully cross platform. There have been some significant strides, but what I would love is for Microsoft to effectively come out and say "In x years time, .NET and Visual Studio will

I have a degree in Computer Science, but I am terrible with Maths. It's surprising how far someone can go without ever doing calculus if they're able to fit enough answers in their head. Despite already having my degree, I've

I've lived in Bristol all my life, and I work in Stokes Croft, one of the driving hubs behind the Bristol Pound. I've never seen one in my life. I've spoke to some of the people in the local shops and cafes near the office, a

While I don't doubt that this could be true, has anyone ever been sacked for lying about their previous salary? It sounds like an absolutely mental thing to happen. I imagine that an employer could do this, but I don't know any co

I usually just tell them a fake number, around the kind of number that I want to be paid. For example, if I was getting paid £35k and I wanted to be paid £40k I would say £40k. My main reason for doing this is to see how flexible the compan

It's convenient that he steps down now, mere days after the election that swore him into power once again. If he stepped down during the election Prince Ali would have won. This way, Blatter can call his own election and personally vou

I love the look of Cmder, and I use it now and again, but it has a number of bugs. They fixed a few with the release two weeks ago, but there's still a few showstoppers for me.

No problem! Thanks for making such an awesome show!

This is touched upon a bit in this episode of .NET Rocks. http://dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=1131 What I took from it is that Microsoft used to make all their money from Windows and Office, but now the company is l

I've done this before, and nearly every time the person has said to me "Oh, I haven't read a programming book since university. I do all my reading online". It seems to be a common thing, which is a shame. I've alwa

In my eyes the problem is no longer technical, but cultural. There are a million things Microsoft could do to please developers on other platforms, but I just think that there's no changing some peoples minds. When people think of .NET

I'm going to offer an anecdote that isn't technical. Like it or not, but there is a definite stigma associated towards working on Windows. Developers on HN are surprisingly open-minded towards developing on Windows, but in the rea

It looks great, nice work! I quite like the idea of there being a bare-bones developer index that people can opt-in and opt-out of at will. One issue I noticed was how location data is handled. If I do a search for "Bristol, UK" i

I was talking about this to someone behind the bar once, and he also said that the reason they chose a pint glass over some other icon was that it made people more willing to buy a drink while watching the game. They'd occasionally gla

It was definitely the weakest season, but I think it mostly showed because season 1 and 2 were so good. I've still got high hopes for next season given how season 3 ended.

I've only watched a handful of their shows, but I'm yet to watch a Netflix show that isn't great. House of Cards is fantastic, Daredevil as you say is amazing, Bojack Horseman is hilarious, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a

A controversial choice, not only because the movie was only out a while ago, but I'd LOVE to see a TV show set in the Ender's Game universe. It's the kind of thing that Netflix could probably do really well. The movie covered

Echoing the other comments, think of it not as a missed opportunity, but as a challenge to build something better than what already exists. The odds are that anything you've worked on has (probably) already been done.

You don't. In the grand scheme of things, it's probably a small minority of people that go public (i.e. publicly posting on the Internet) with their ideas for an app or business. To answer your question in terms of code projects,
