I used draw.io, it has AWS images and supports embedding the diagram markup within a PNG on export so you can upload the master to your corporate wiki/share it with colleagues

As far as I can see their idea is to incentivise people to "rent out" hard drive space to the Storj network, and get StorjTokens in return, although it's not quite clear from the website what you can do with these coins or wh

What incentive to Valve have to make HL3 though, really? They make a ton of cash on Steam and DOTA2. It's sad for the fans, in the recent DOTA international tournament, Valve announced a new game to the crowd who were whipped up into

This is a really nice site, but the owner should really enable HTTPS if they want people to give their email address over for the newsletter

Enigma is building a decentralized, open, secure data marketplace that will change how data is shared, aggregated and monetized to maximize collaboration. Catalyst is our first product and the first application running on our Enigma protoc

I like the optimism in this post, there's are lot of dismissive comments on here. However I just don't think any of the ideas would ever really function. The idea of letting you pipe your Skype video feed to some video analysis to

For me the biggest annoyance is its insistence of "helping" you by auto converting double quotes into smart quotes. Handy for nicely formatted prose, not so useful for code snippets.

org-mode works well enough for me. It's a bit awkward at first and requires you to remember a lot of key combinations and things, but it does the job. It doesn't work so well across devices (especially mobile), so I tend to carry

I sometimes find myself in this situation too. I often find that I feel most productive when I reach this state. But it's quite rare, a lot of my day is interrupted by colleagues, meetings, noisy office etc It's cool, but you can

Works at 60fps on Nintendo Switch though, which isn't exactly the most powerful machine in the world.

I only use it for Kindle books. I've never used it for other things though, even as a Prime customer. My main issue with it is I use different delivery addresses, sometimes to work, sometimes to an Amazon Locker, rarely to home as I&#x

I don't think that's the case for Amazon Prime (UK customer) In my experience the price shown and delivery time estimate is always accurate, and as a Prime customer the delivery fee is included in your subscription

One thing that astounds me about Amazon is just how quick it is. Last week I ordered something at 10:45pm, it arrived the next morning at 9am. I'd imagine that's very difficult for other companies to compete with.

It's very simple at the moment, I have my phone forward all missed calls to a Twilio number, which has a webhook to my service. The service just says a message to the user, gives them the option to leave a voicemail, then I call the tr

I have Huel for breakfast on work days only. I agree that the preparation and cleaning isn't that much different from say, having a bowl of cereal. It works for me though, I wake up at 6:40, get a shower, iron some clothes, drink some

My commute is 55 - 65 minutes each way, and 70% of that is spent underground. That's more than enough for me, don't think I could stomach any longer than that!

Slightly unrelated, but it would be great if the main shop could have an API. Tesco has this, with support through IFTTT https://ifttt.com/search/query/tesco My use case is most often in the kitchen, hands covered

Great article, would be interested in more in depth articles on say, JPEG compression in the future. Really liked the better/worse thing too, added some nice comparison

Countries like Greece, Finland, Ukraine and Turkey have military conscription. Additionally there are underlying tensions between a lot of these nations, e.g. Ukraine/Russia, Greece/Turkey etc I wonder if that skews these figures

Really like the approach around using Guice as a central point for hooking your own code into the system. Will look forward to reading through the code later!

One thing I have noticed is my prime membership has subtly shifted my shopping habits further and further towards Amazon. I've become impatient with other sites delivery fees and schedules, and don't really bother doing much price

I suppose if you live in a block of flats, this would be useful. I tend to use Amazon Lockers a lot anyway, there's one just outside my tube station (Transport for London let Amazon put one there, which I thought was smart)

How did you manage to get Chrome headless compiled and running on AWS? I spent a while looking at this a few months ago to do a similar project (run chrome in headless mode on AWS Lambda) but couldn't get the binary to work.

I like Slack as a product. I don't like how some open source and general interest communities use it for communication, as you have to go through this awkward sign up process that describes language like "welcome to the team!&quot

> what's the point of banning them by 2040? It sets a deadline. Future parliaments can change it as they see fit, but I think the UK government had to say something otherwise they'd be contravening agreements made in the past.
