I pre-paid for a hotel with my debit card. The hotel cancelled the booking because of the lockdown in the UK. They refused to provide a refund, instead offering me to reschedule the booking some other time. As I was unlikely to visit that c

You could use Wagtail (built on Django) in headless mode. Drupal also supports headless mode.

In Ireland we’re still in the let’s privatise everything phase that the UK went through in the 80s. It’s now falling out of favour in the UK. They’re trying to connect every home in rural Ireland at great cost even through research found th

They're both going to be fine for web development. Look at the languages and see which you prefer. Look at the frameworks (Laraval and Django) and see which you prefer. I've gone with Python because I needed a CMS (Wagtail) built

Just listened to it. It kind of annoyed me how breezy they were - corporate interests and the Republicans making 120 million American lives miserable - ah it can't be helped.

Wagtail is a great CMS for developers. WordPress is for end users.

I use Wagtail CMS for my sites. It’s the best CMS I have found so far. It’s built on Django. Instead of looking for plugins you just integrate with other services with Python libraries or standard REST calls. It has something similar to Gut

I think it’s just American propaganda to blame this on socialism. You had a politician with a miltary background who knew nothing about oil destroy an oil company. Norway is fairly socialist - distributing the gains of oil amongst it’s peop

Generally Rails is more powerful than Django though they have a similar set of features. If you are making a webapp I would go with Rails or Rails API. If you are making a website with some webapp functionality I would go with Django and Wa

Pointy [1] allows you to search local shops, though it currently only covers Ireland and you have to go to the shop to purchase the item. At it's heart is a hardware device that integrates with the store's bar code scanner so inve

The stock exchange matches buyers and sellers. The stock price is the average price the stock was trading that day. You can sell stock at any price but if it's too high you won't have many buyers.

I needed to replace the battery in my MacBook Air. My local authorized Apple repair shop said it would take a week. I couldn't do without my laptop for a week so I bought the battery online and replaced it myself in 5 minutes. Apple is

You can't stream them on Windows either. Apple has discontinued Safari for Windows and the last version released - v5.1.7, won't play the videos. I suppose the thinking is, if you're developing for an Apple OS you are likely

So the iPad/iPhone was inspired by Microsoft's TabletPC. I was big into them back in 2005 but most were bit bulky to be used comfortably as tablets.

Interest in the environment is very much in the minority in Ireland. He's going to be facing an uphill battle. All the major environmental groups left Ireland around 2000 because of lack of interest. People here just ape the US and dri

Everybody should be able to read legal contracts especially if it's for personal matters like employment and renting. It's going to get fairly expensive if you need a lawyer to review every contract you sign. If you don't und

Very irresponsible, not impressed. If it goes wrong they could end up killing someone. There seems to be other farms nearby. They could get drones banned and ruin it for everyone else. All for a bit of Internet attention.

If you do the following: html { font-size: 62.5%; } You can convert from pixels to rems (or ems) quite easily: p { font-size: 1.4rem; // 14px } I use rems for stuff that needs to scale with text, ems for

It's interesting that homelessness started to become a problem in the 80's around the same time of Reaganism. The US probably needs to become more socialist to solve this but people there tend to equate socialism with statism of t

Not sure why the title is prefixed with BBC, it was broadcast on UK's Channel 4 in 2007. Seems like a bit of propaganda by the fossil fuel lobby - very one-sided. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Global_Warm

I can't speak for Dublin where Google is based, but in Cork you have Apple's European headquarters. As a developer/Apple user you wouldn't know it was there. There isn't an Apple store in the country and all product
