That makes a lot more sense - they should probably include those credentials instead of the place where he teaches, the way it is written now makes it seem like he isn't a subject matter expert...

This is absolutely mind blowing! Although I can't help but nitpick on this: > What do experts think? > Prof Tom Shakespeare, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine [...] How is a professor in a Hygiene and Tropic

I actually dislike this style of article writing, or title writing. The title leads me to believe that I will find an answer to that question in the article, but it just talks about the subject for a while until they decide to end it. The a

Damn, that's amazing.. can't believe 76% of requests are unnecessary. Assuming you're running this on a RPi at home, do you have DynDNS or how are you managing the external IP?

I already have uBlock Origin on Firefox, with tracking protection set to strict and I don't really remember seeing ads on desktop. I guess the main benefit of the PiHole is to have ad blocking on mobile devices, iPads... and others, do

I use LaTeX for my resume and it has been the best experience so far. My content is super simple, and technically I could change the format whenever (although I'd have to learn LaTeX to modify the template, but I'm sure it's

I started working on this exactly 2 weeks ago, so was pretty surprised to see this post by mozilla just now! Essentially a very simple browser extension to tip websites, where you load some credit and it gets distributed as you browse (with

I've been doing the same since I was 12, just one simple .txt file that I've managed to keep alive since then! I only write in there when I remember, which is usually 1-3 times a year, usually after an important life event - so it

It actually sounds like this was really useful though, as a lot of the systems involved will be improved in the future. I'm not sure if the grid is already doing this, but they should trigger failures randomly, including Low Frequency

This sums it up really well. I could get $400/month easily from thousands of users via ads, by just putting a simple piece of JS on the website. But getting those users to use a debit/credit card or paypal to give me some money, e

I wish there was, and I considered charging users but it becomes a lot more complex at least from a technical point of view. The other big reason for not trying was that the biggest user base was in India, where my website was fairly popula

I ran a website that I first coded when I was 14-15, then kept improving over the years. It was for amateur electronic music producers to upload their tracks and after a few years there were several thousand active users, generating ~$400&#

I do the same as you, but was just thinking that if most users search using full sentences then Google will spend most effort optimizing for that, so maybe we're the ones getting the worse results?

Agreed. What is the privacy concern of allowing face recognition if you are letting them scan your passport?

It’s an amazing theory and it fits a raw observation of the world beautifully. If we are indeed problem solvers, what is the actual problem we’re solving? Any?

Well, it's not an easy problem. I've been working on user interfaces for around 14 years, in several languages and platforms. React is the first time I feel like we've actually hit something good. It's still not fully th

I follow this sometimes but having a wide range of patterns in the same project feels so dirty in a way... Although it makes sense, refactor only when you need to.

I think this topic is too complicated to discuss over text like this. I agree with you, I’m sure we think similarly, and it seems like talking to children about mindfulness could be amazing. I fear that many schools/teachers won’t do a

You were a very lucky child then :) Edit: Apologies for the sarcastic response, couldn't help it. Children can and do feel unhappy, some more than others. This feels like an amazing step in the right direction because many people (myse

This is exciting, and at the same time I wish this came out before writing thousands of lines of code on my React app... I can see the possibilities this brings, and they're much better than the mess of props, local state, redux, and H

It's an open standard and many other apps support it. You just need to go to each service where you've set it up and redo it with your new app. I'm now using OTP Auth in iOS, which allows backing up the codes. For me the risk

If this was more widespread or built into phones like QR code scanning is in the camera app, it could be an interesting way to share data with many people at once (something like a concert for example) But I agree it's more interesting

This is absolutely true, when I moved to London a few years ago, I rented a room in a house with 3 other housemates I had never met. Within 1-2 days, Facebook recommended one of them as a friend - bear in mind I hadn't added any of the
