   Also I think there are very intelligent people working to keep people in the dark. As an example: "Transport for London is spending £1 Billion on improving cycle infrastructure." Sounds brilliant. However. "Transport for Lond

   Yes I use a HOTAS controller. You are probably correct, however, even touch shapes your hands, limiting finger manipulation. Something like a glove or Kinect would provide a more granular approach for certain scenarios. I'm pretty sure

   I can remember looking at a new build apartment in Bath (UK) and having my wife go next door and talk loudly. We walked away from it. Building regs are minimum standards.

   I flew back and collected my stuff, even going back to the office. The place was dead and I met with some of the people. They were in utter shock. Over 30 people's livelihoods destroyed.

    Dunno, I've been working on a large Typescript project for the last year (10+devs), and I have to say, it has been an absolute godsend. I see transpiling a key part of JavaScript going forward.

    1) JavaScript is dying. Long live transpiling (typescript/babel/etc). 2) Internet of Things might finally realise it's full potential. 3) Open Data from Governments enabling companies and individuals to leverage value and d

    I usually evaluate frameworks based on the job market. In the UK there are currently 298 jobs for Angular and 109 for React (www.cwjobs.co.uk). React is up on around 40 jobs at the beginning of the year. The reality is that you should know

    Let's be clear, every manufacturer was playing this "game". Yes VW played it harder than most and got caught out. The reality is there is no petrol/diesel manufacturer that has been found to be playing it absolutely down

    Public transport is recognised as a "healthy" travel option as it contains a walking/cycling element. If it replaces your car use, then it also impacts pollution/congestion.
