The Mini is pretty much all that is left of BMW’s acquisition of Rover [0] in 1994 - there is no chance VW is making a Mini. I love the irony that the GP touts the Mini as being more likely to be owned as a “big vehicle”, yet in it’s origin

Not explicitly mentioned elsewhere is the digital audio connector (TOSLINK/optical out) on the Audio. This allows it to be connected directly to a half decent amp, rather than relying on the onboard DAC.

"Once you give it permission, an active app keeps on having access to your face” Isn’t the definition of an active app, one that is open and in the foreground? The minute the phone sleeps, or the app is put into the background, access

Android aside, the flaw with scrolling caught me initially, but once you get your head around it, it is actually a very intuitive way of illustrating the points being made. It's not just the 2D polygon, all of the illustrations use the

For most Google SPAs I use an appify tool, that contains the site in a single app webview with no shared cookie store. Then in my main FF browser I have cookie crushing on, so that when I navigate away from a domain, all cookies that were c

There is a bit of an arms race between get a few $/c extra CPM by spoofing the geo location (the app needs to ask for this, and have reason to from App Store perspective, so not always available), and the data aggregators detecting sai

Sorry, I don't understand the overriding sentiment here.. Are we now asking Google et al to be the gatekeepers of what is deemed correct and useful because they have a preferred alternative that fits with our view on the world? W3Schoo

Non spring, memory foam mattresses compress surprisingly well. Bigger than a pillow. Still weighs the same regardless of dimensions though. Anecdotally, I had a fantastic experience ordering one through Argos (UK brick and mortar catalogue

Hardware (and firmware to a lesser degree) almost require waterfall. Moving fast and breaking things doesn't really work well when you have to throw away the physical product you broke as opposed to iterating it to a fixed state. I can

And even the scrums have reduced contact nowadays; arguably this has resulted in them becoming rather difficult to execute well, and they're becoming a bane to the modern game. Tweaking these things does have knock on effects.

"This is the furthest back that the ice front has been in recorded history." I'm curious; in the context of the ice front, when does recorded history begin? Are we talking, 10s, 100s, or 1000s of years?

They wait for the signature? I thought it was always "in the bag, last couple of redlines to get sorted, but that'll be sorted by the end of the week, no worries." But yeah, 2 weeks to implement, then it sits there whilst the

Your "narrow strip down the middle of the lane", makes me wonder why it has to be under the asphalt and not simply embedded similar to cats eyes. I'm picturing future roads looking like massive Scalectrix tracks...

"I use it on occasion as a good sanity check to make sure I didn't break anything too obvious" That sounds more like unit tests than TDD. With TDD you should already know that you didn't break anything.. If you suck at w

Your time would be better spent implementing ':set list' on classic whiteboards. That's where your issue lies; subconscious prejudice is happening during the hiring process, you just can't see it.

There seems to have been (in the U.K. at least) a recent drive towards 'wholebean instant'. This mixes your traditional freeze dried instant coffee with some very finely ground beans, which does make for a much better cup of insta
