I cancelled my NHL.tv subscription because they subjected me to team/region blackouts despite _literally living in another continent_. Was a total waste of money - it could have been great.

Well then it's still exactly the same? You can either press fn or change your preferences. You opted for the latter. Do that again?

If you're using a MBP at the moment - then you're already pressing the fn key to use the functions keys for anything other than the media-stuff they've been designed around for years. Your workflow is exactly the same - you

3 * 7 = 21 != 40 3 * 5 = 15 != 40 So why do you use the '3 hours of work then slack off' example to deride people working a typical week?

Yep - "Thank you for accessing the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. Due to your country location, we are unable to process your request."

Yep. I'm a freelance developer and I bought a new MBP. I don't mind a soft-key function row, and I'm kinda curious what people can do with it. I don't need an SD card slot. Losing Magsafe, 16GB top-out on the RAM are dis

'working full time' != 'good'. Some of us choose not to work all year round.

I live & work in London. I can't imagine doing that kind of commute everyday. Utterly soul crushing.

Cycling in the morning does it for me. I feel like a totally different person when I skip the cycle and get public transport. Even if it's as short as ~2 miles to where I'm going, I find getting the body going before the mind help

Pretty standard practice in accounting + book keeping. You'll see pretty much all balance sheets represented in this way.

That's exactly what they do. It's heavily based on performance evals. I remember the first year I was there, we were told it'd be around an 8% cut. Our team lost exactly that 8% in headcount.

I guess you're not based in the UK, but monzo(previously Mondo) ( https://monzo.com/ ) sounds like the start of what you're looking for. Their API ( https://monzo.com/docs/ ) opens them up to al

Did you read the article? It's a police blog - and has a list of things to consider doing when letting a place on AirBnB et al. Doesn't at all appear to be what you think it is. Certainly not just a 'new article'.

Healthy food does have something to do with the amount of calories it contains. It's not the be-all or end-all, but if you're consuming less than you use, you'll lose weight. Weight is by far one of the largest risk factors

You're being downvoted because it's cool to hate on McDonald's, but I agree with you. From my experience in the UK, their menu is increasingly easy to find nutritional information for (the print it in big font on -all- of the

Most people in Europe don't need Lawyers to submit their taxes. In fact, until I started my own company (UK) - I didn't 'submit' taxes. It was calculated (and taken) automatically based on my salary and otherwise declare

The 'all the time' part of my statement was quite an important bit. Sure, ARAM exists - but like I said there's an always-changing array of free champions, so it's not like you'll never get them. And again - if you&

Almost all of the money I've spent on League of Legends has been on cosmetics. If you're time rather than cash-limited (like most of us here, I would assume) - you won't have time to actually deeply learn all that many champi

Why not? I've been known to do this as well. I'd rather put a quick link to a relevant source of information explaining why I did something the way I did than spend 2-3 lines trying to explain it. I probably most often use it when

This looks great. Is there any removal of positions that have been filled, or is it just hit and hope?

Slightly ironic, isn't it? Edinburgh is basically to Scotland what London is to England - just not quite to the same extreme.

In Scotland, most* Degrees are 4-year courses. *technically, the 4th is an 'honours' year, and you can graduate without honours after 3 years. This isn't that common for people who aren't struggling.

Similar situation here. The company I'm currently contracting for mentioned they struggle to find experienced Scala devs who will interview for permanent roles.

Can I ask what location this is? It's vastly different to my experience of the contracting environment in the UK.

This is super common practice in the UK, at least in some industries (e.g. Gambling). Most online bookmakers & exchanges will require age-verification before they let you place a stake. I've had similar experiences ordering alcohol
