A "product" with no prices listed, just the shady practice of forcing you to contact them and having them work out a "quote" for you. I really hate it when companies feel they cannot be transparent about pricing, it is s

Wasn't it a SendGrid developer evangelist who got a programmer fired from his job because he had the bad luck to sit in the row behind her at a Python conference? She overheard and misunderstood some dumb joke he made about "forki

As someone who lives here, I have to think with my brain, not just go with my heart. I can tell you that there is a HUGE difference between any remaining grudges the Irish may have against the English - and, honestly, in my experience, the

I agree that the same principle could bring decision-making down to a highly-localised level, which could actually be a very good thing, but, again, you are just technically wrong to suggest that Scotland is an arbitrary region: It entered

No, you are wrong on the most basic point. The United Kingdom has always been, from the very start, recognised as a union of separate countries, with Scotland retaining its own legal system. The agreement handed over parliamentary and fin

Yes, it was an ad hominem attack, I accept that, but, regardless of prizes he may have been awarded (and, remember, Barack Obama was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize), I am reasonably confident that most people familiar with his work
