I was in the "why bother with typescript", then I worked on a project with 5+ developers and it massively proved itself time and time again. I'm now hankering for a strict typescript compile. I still come across code where I&

I was pointed at this as something that can be used very effectively for IoT. Still investigating.

I know somebody that bought two dishwashers and took the clean stuff from one, used it and filled up the other.

I remember when we bought our new house and the neighbour had an electric cat flap installed into the wall cavity (battery was still accessible). Then it broke. They had to cut it out and replaced it with a standard flap mounted externally.

In the UK, you pretty much gamble whether an independent hotel, b&b, or holiday cottage has decent mattresses. There is less of an issue of quality of service but you really cannot tell how good the beds are.

Well I'm not sure why you would put "server" in quotes.

I'm going to take a wild guess and suggest this was driven by the CFO trying to provide better predictive earnings to their shareholders. It may also enable them to plan developer recruitment better but this feels very shareholder driv

I tried pomodoro but never sat well with me. I can focus for 1-2 hours happily once I'm into something. I worked in a team where it was pushed as a mantra for working. The issue with that being is that everyone was on a different sched

I'm guessing "and are prepared to live in a car/cardboard box". Yes it's do-able but the reality is that a founder does need to be able to have the funds to sprint, fail, and sprint again. It's why people boots

Who's talking about cycling with children? I'm talking about kicking them out on their bike and having them cycle to school on their own.

The issue is that people cycle despite the conditions and pavement cycling is illegal in some countries (UK). Also pavement cycling is slow and tedious compared to on-road cycling or within a dedicated cycle track. The idea of making a cycl

I think the major issue is that we prioritise roads for cars. When I was in Orlando, Fl., we tried crossing the junction near our hotel on foot and gave up and drove. We need to prioritise walking, then cycling, and then driving. Segregatin

The dutch implemented presumed liability. The more vulnerable road users is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. On UK roads, you only have this for driving into the back of somebody.

My wife has an arthritic knee and we bought a e-bike with a throttle. So she can go for a ride with me and then when her knee starts twingeing she can just stop peddling and carry on. We did consider a mobility scooter, but that in no way l

Yup, happens in the UK. It is cheaper and less politically divisive to build a shared path rather than take on-road parking away to create segregated cycle infrastructure. One of the things I am trying to push into our local council is for

I was on a train talking to a dutch guy about cycling. He said the dutch are crazy cyclists and do crazy things. I then asked him who would be to blame if a car hit him "The driver of course." What if you hit a pedestrian? "T

I'm not saying kids are not fat in the Netherlands, just not obese. Something like 60% of kids cycle to school in the Netherlands. It's estimated that about 22% of rush hour in the UK is the school run. I'm trying to look at

Well fructose was a rarely part of the human diet and is converted to fat by your liver. Sugar is 50% glucose and 50% fructose. When your body get's a hit of glucose it releases insulin that tells your body not to burn fat but use up t
