I think a lot of the issues with JavaScript are around the movement of individuals from synchronous programming languages to the asynchronous JavaScript way. For some time it resulted in callback hell ( http://callbackhell.com&#x2

When London looked at the population growth and how it could "keep" the city moving, they needed to get 5% of the population cycling all year round. It is very much a nudge psychology.

Such a cool project. I would have considered cladding the walls in pine cladding to soften the look. It's a very 'practical' space. The other thing I would have done is off grid my house and run a cable up to the "shoffi

I've heard of crow distress effects being used to stop them roosting. The idea is to broadcast the noise at odd intervals causing the flock to rise into the air and investigate. Eventually they move on as they never settle properly.

Although I voted remain, I almost voted leave. There are good, very good reasons to leave. There are very very good reasons to remain and 'fix' from the inside. However a friend on FB unfriended me after he declared all leavers we

The one place I was hoping not to see Brexit was on HN. Ah well. For what it's worth, if you are still in two minds after, what feels like, 6 years of campaigning, this video gives, an evidence based argument for staying. https:&#x2F

With the number of deaths caused by human controlled cars, I do not think we humans deserve a choice when it comes to driverless cars. It is going to become very easy to revoke somebody's licence for dangerous driving given that this d
