Stack Overflow are even kind (cheeky) enough to provide a calendar on a user's profile showing the day they've visited (or not).

Bristol, UK, FULLTIME, ONSITE. Gravitywell: small web agency looking for an engaged junior web/mobile developer for a range of client and inhouse projects. We're a PHP shop, so a grasp of that is always helpful, but not compulsory. We're al

Yes, it's still as hard as before to remove content. But I don't see how "improving content discoverability" is suddenly a bad thing on Facebook? Yes, Timeline makes it easier to find old stuff, but on HN aren't we always looking for users

I love the site, and can see myself using it in the future. It'd be great if you could get Back behaviour working as expected, though.

On the other hand, and from what I remember from a conversation with someone who works on the UK National Grid, Solar and Wind power have the advantage of predictability; which in many ways is just as important as availability for large-sca

I don't think that's quite the point: I'm sure most people here know how to access the content, but clicking a link and having the anti-SOPA popup appear jarringly reminds us of how frequently we use Wikipedia for information.

Google do already provide a set of one-time passwords for those using two-factor auth. I've already added them to a document on my phone for precisely that purpose.

Are you speaking as a developer? Personally, I agree with the OP that android's tools for dealing with this are really pretty decent and flexible. It's definitely something that I bear in mind when designing an app, but the range of screen

Sure, most people have active direct debits set up, but isn't the number of those are set up solely through the internet somewhat smaller? Furthermore, most people seem to associate direct debits with a certain class of business, usually ut

I've always liked the idea of GoCardless, and we've been seriously considering implementing it on an upcoming service, but our main concern has always been that clients will be far less likely to want to set up a direct debit than they will

I'm not sure where I stand on this; and it's possible the context should determine the behaviour. But equally, perhaps Google just want consistency?

Even if you weren't somewhat wayward of the point, you'd still not be considering touch devices, which the parent was more likely to be referring to.

Even without the $3k quoted elsewhere, the existing prices of SSD harddrives in a much larger form factor should be a good indicator that $3K could easily be on the low-end of pricing.

I suspect that you're wrong. My experience seems to be that pupils of secondary age and onwards are well accustomed to using multiple media for various usecases. For talking to friends or family? Facebook or text. That work assignment that

Can't quite express how glad I am to see this news. For reasons I can't quite fathom it's genuinely cheered my day. Kudos to the DfE.

I don't think that that's accurate. There's far more flexibility and choice in the UK carrier market than the US. It's pretty identical to the rest of Europe.

I've found that google.com/maps always shows the US, but google.{co.uk,de,es,fr,it,ru, etc etc}/maps will always show a sensible viewport. In this case, I think I prefer that approach.
