On a similar note, Docker for Mac assigns (or used to?) the IP address 192.168.99.100 to the VM that runs Docker. One day I was working in a coffee shop and got really confused as to why I couldn’t connect to my application, even though the

The key part of your clickbait article is this: > It also signals that older males need to be mindful that vigorous cycling – as with any form of exercise – can be fatal if the rider has a serious medical condition like heart disease. It

Good for you if it doesn’t cause you any problems, but if I don’t get enough sleep I really notice my mood and productivity dips. Everyone is different, so just don’t enforce the same regime on others.

IMO I think a lot of people feel the same, which is why you end up with so many mediocre Mexican restaurants. There’s an independent burrito place right next to my office (big tower block, so just being there guarantees them customers), and

Even hybrid busses help a lot, and as a passenger it’s lot more comfortable to not feel the engine vibrating the whole bus when you are stopped in traffic. It seems that all the newer busses in London are hybrid or electric now, which seems

Last year I visited Armenia where they also import a lot of second hand Japanese cars. I found this suprising as they drive on the right, and due to their proximity to Europe, I assumed importing cars from there would be a lot cheaper. Does

I recently bought a set of MDR-1000X and this is how they behave. At work I’m sat next to the sales team, and without them I wouldn’t be able to do any work. When they are on, but not playing music, I can still hear loud voices but it’s sig

I wonder how many minor incidents it has prevented though. I was raised in the country where roads are often wet or icy in winter. Without ABS if you go around a corner and hit some black ice there is a good chance you would spin out and en

It's also worth taking into account the level of finish. As a landlord it’s almost always not worth spending more for good quality items, as they usually won’t increase your returns. It’s more important how the property looks, than the

Sounds like working for early stage startups... There are plenty of good enough engineers willing to work long hours, often with low pay and minimal equity, on the romantic idea of changing the world and the promise of getting rich.

Amazon is probably more well placed to make an informed decision, as it’s most likely the products you look at, but don’t buy, that you are probably interested in. Unfortunately in reality that doesn’t seem to be the case. Last week I bough

I also had the opportunity of working with a 100x tech lead. Their coding skills weren’t that great (although they did very little, so it may have just been what I saw was rushed out), but they had a very good understanding of how all the p

Has anyone got any tips for how to stop biting nails? This technique sounds like it would work for some habits, but I do this subconciously without realising - usually when I’m deep in though on something else (not when I’m streased).

I’m hopeful that this will push more interest into decentralised and open services. Sure not everybody will want to host their own data, but for those who have the know how, why should I trust someone else to hold on to my data?

Last month I moved back to London for a contract job. Yes it pays well, but because of the hours I basically have no life. I leave at 7:30, get to the office just before 9, work until 7, then head home and arrive around 8:30. I really wish

I bought a 55C7V last year which shows ads. When you open the menu there are ads on the left side (usually for streaming services), and again in the app store at the top of the screen.
