Yeah their radio thing is my main way to find music these days. Find a song I like, hit radio on it, do some stuff till one stands out enough to like the song. I do wish it'd stop trying to play Lostprophets on the odd occasion though.

Wouldn't surprise me. People used to DDoS to knock competitor IRC networks offline for laughs, never mind something people believe in. It helps it's the easiest way to do damage to a website and you just can pay someone to do the

Because I'm desperate for the money and solving an interesting problem is the closest thing to feeling happy I'll do this year. If just one financial plate falls down I'm homeless. It is what it is.

£75/hr was my last freelance rate for some PHP dev work I did. Got a few too many plates spinning at the moment though so only doing oldschool Linux sysadmin stuff (pets vs cattle) outside the day job. I'd probably bill cheaper fo

All the bus services I know of at least have GPS in their respective apps now. Doesn't solve the issue but you can see how long it'll take and impress old people by knowing where the bus is :)

Where did you get this information? I can't find anything about ads on the internet without 300 copy paste articles popping up about 10 great ways to write ad copy so couldn't just google it. Temporarily intrigued, don't go t

Apparently it is how it works if you go by Basecamp's words https://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/1168986962704982016 I'm making an assumption we're all talking about the ads above the results, as a

Were they being dismissive? It seemed like they were after more information to see if it's something that works for them. The opposite of dismissive if anything I think this one's a bias in your ingress filters rather than their i

High school kids have a lack of understanding of how things work? We should put them in a school or something :P It sounds like you're the person who could be the one to teach them this stuff, is that not an option?

So that you decide if you want to buy the one with ads (eww, gross!) or the one without ads (woohoo, I beat the system for a tenner!). Meanwhile Amazon are happy you bought one of them rather than deciding to buy one or not. The ads are the

They were examples of technology that came from outside of archaeology. I don't know what the future tech is called as I've not seen it yet :P

I have no science to back up my claim but my knee jerk hunch is that people who weren't supported by their peers during the learning process go on to develop imposter syndrome. Y'know like the classic story of being outcast unless

My knowledge originates from this post if you'd like to evaluate the source. The reason as to why is a theory in the post too so it's not exactly a real source, it's my source. https://daringfireball.net/linke

Amazon's order confirmations were the one I was thinking of. Got damn they're useless these days. Also remember when you could respond to social network messages via email? It was so useful! You don't even see the content any

I don't hate nosql. I nothing it. I do not have any knowledge or skillset that includes it. I am most definitely naive towards any strengths and capabilities it may have over an SQL database. I also have no reason to learn it at this t

Personally it's a lack of trust. I've set up databases, I've broken databases, I've restored databases, I've scaled databases, and I've migrated them. Never lost so much as a nibble of data. My introduction to
