Accepted, but when your argument uses it as the example to follow it's very hard not to criticise on that basis. I think a more appropriate tool would be Microsoft Visual Studio. Talking about visual tools, many moons ago I worked with

Not sure his argument stands up very well. Not even MS Word can make something looks good on multiple sizes of paper.

I'm going to add something from the experience of being the kid that was dragged around Germany and the USA from the age of 3 to the age of 12 moving every 2 years. Positives: - I was put into the german school system learning german a

I have a Nexus 4 and my next phone is also probably going to be an Android phone but my shopping list now comes down to how well it takes a photo (N4 is horrible) and if it gets reasonable OS updates. I can now get this for around £100.

I remember going round a friends house and him loading up Elite onto a BBC B and my mind was blown. An exceptional game in 32kb. Would be interesting to see if they get as far as running Elite.

This may just be my thought pattern, but I could see this being rather useful to the porn/webcam industry.

Having worked on ATC, this really does sound like a software bug. Fixing such a bug on a delivered system would require an immense amount of costly testing. Adding memory is the cheap option. The other thing to consider is that some of thes

This is one of these crazy situations where companies are lobbying the crap out of politicians to keep these insecticides on the market. These bees are fundamental to the production of most vegetable matter that we eat. The financial implic

I'll be taking this material and creating a tutorial "101: How to stalk a celebrity and make them feel slightly uncomfortable" However, in all seriousness, nice levels of deduction going on here and only slightly creepy tweet

To be honest, I don't think (and I'm going off the author's name) that english is his first language. Personally, I posted this to HN as it succinctly gave me a quick overview of MR. I try not to judge an article/blog po

Really fantastic suggestion. Dogs are amazing companions, however the long hours he works probably don't help, however he's probably working long hours so he doesn't have to come home to an empty house.

Took me ages to persuade my current manager to use Trello (based on this article https://community.uservoice.com/blog/trello-google-docs-prod... ). Finally his response was "OK you win" sigh Of note just bec

This thing reads like some sort of marketing buzzword bingo and doesn't seem to say anything at the end. PM tools are useful. They are all about communication and the 'bigger' picture. The issue I find is not so much with PM

I don't get why it needs massive heavy tyres. Wouldn't it be better to have a mobile platform from where it lifted off from saving quite a bit of weight. I mean the wheels and suspension must way rather a lot. This is a supply uni

Apparently this saved about 10,000,000 gallons of petrol. Such a simple thing to do, although algorithm complexity must have gone through the roof. 1 in 10 turns are now left turns.

You should try Pandemic. I'd almost consider it team therapy. Yes it's a board game but feels like a condensed team exercise weekend where you end up building bridges (metaphorically and physically).

I should probably write it up somewhere but the concept of the team going out and having a drink/socialising was quite alien to them.

As an aside, if you go for an interview and notice that each person has a Fail Buzzer (I never had one) as a 'joke', you should probably not accept a role if you don't have a thick skin.

I'm guessing this may not have been something they have needed to use. I dislike the use of the word 'expert' when describing my skillset. Over the years you begin to realise other people can be more expert in different areas

One of the reasons I'm leaving my current role at the end of the month is due to this egocentric development approach from the team lead. "Bzzzzzt" and "Schoolboy error" are not good peer review comments to hand out

I may be ignorant but I don't know of any other UK content provider who is providing 4K streaming content. I think there is a massive reluctance on the part of companies to stream this type of content. 3D TV demonstrated the need not t

Once the legal framework is in place and the technology finally sorts itself out, I can see a situation where the idea of private car ownership becomes a strange concept in cities. You just have a fleet of "chauffeur" driven cars
