I'd use "cola" in Dutch to refer to the generic type of drink, which is pretty much universal in Dutch AFAIK. But I would use "coke" in English. I'm not sure where I picked that up: I've lived in a combina

The abuse reporting on GitHub completely sucks. You need to send a support ticket, which typically takes more than a month to get a reply to. And if by that time the comment or repo has been deleted they'll say "well it's del

If all your "slightly conservative" post are rants that have nothing to do with the article in any shape or form, then no, I'm not surprised you're getting consistently downvoted.

I don't know who Whitney Webb is, but I think we both know this is not about the general trend and problems in US politics and the office of the presidency, but bollocks like Vince Foster, Benghazi, "but her emails", Barack H

There are degrees of things. The father from this story wants all Democratic presidents of the last 35 years prosecuted for treason. For "murder" apparently as well. I mean, that's pretty far out by any standard. Never mind a

You're seriously bringing on Afghanistan as an example here? Because the Soviet Union has completely clean hands here...? And no, the United States is not perfect. No country with that amount of power is. But for all its flaws, it&#x

I'm sure that's true for some industries and businesses, but obviously not true for all . Lots of very profitable companies employ low wage labourers (either directly, or as is often the case, indirectly). Nike had $5.7 billion

Well I am vegan, and let me tell you, some vegans are completely insufferable. While it's true that the people ranting about vegans outnumber the insufferable vegans, there is a core of truth to it. I didn't read all 416 comments

For a GP booking app that most people only use once in a blue moon it really doesn't matter much. And most users will absolutely prefer a well-designed webapp vs. a crummy semi-working native app, as the previous person described. In s

Eh? 30 years ago would be 1994. Most people did not have internet in 1994. But let's use 10 years: you absolutely could get by without internet 10 years ago. It would have been a bit of a hassle for a few things, but internet access wa

The annoying part is that website can just be used as an app. For a booking app we don't need native performance; just a webpage-inside-an-app is fine. In most cases, it should be fairly straight-forward and cheap to make this work. Wh

The only reason I know "torch walks" and "far right" are somehow associated is because of this whole suckless thing that keeps coming back. Not everyone has the US news cycle intravenously injected. In my home town there

It's fine for things like this where you want to get a rough performance indication to see on what order of magnitude things are at (~1MB/s vs. ~10 vs. ~50 vs. ~100). A few percent error margin is fine for that. Tools like that ar
