Just wondering what sort of Mapbox account you're using for this? I previously enquired about doing something similar with Mapbox, and was told if you intend to use the images commercially for printing you'd be capped at 2,000 pri

I assume the benefit is partly the fact you're taking a break for an extended period of time away from the computer, so why wouldn't you just walk down the stairs and get the elevator up?

I realise that you would probably won't do this, but it'd be awesome to see some of this open sourced. Despite being reasonably experienced, the idea of building an API that talks to a smart contract is completely alien to me. I a

If the article is about speaking skills, I'm surprised to see these languages as the most difficult. Most English speakers I know that have lived/worked in Korea/Japan/China have found it rather easy to pick up the langu

I don't know if it's true but it was always said that the government could listen in on your Skype calls if you downloaded Skype in China.

I don't see it as any more social to be honest. I live in Hong Kong, and people walking on their phones was already bad enough before games like Pokemon Go came out. It's not fun when you have to weave around people walking at a s

Took a look and still prefer to use Github Trending: https://github.com/trending/javascript?since=weekly I have a lot of JS blogs/twitters/subscriptions that I use to keep up-to-date, and generally most of th

Someone already posted styletron which to me is a lot better, but anywho the point of it is to minify your CSS a lot more. If you have something like `margin: 10px` in several different places, it will refactor it out into a new class and a

Anyone have any experience with any cloud computing solutions (like https://www.paperspace.com ) with their MacBook? Was thinking about trying it since it's cheap to try out.

Also living in HK and used to live in Guangzhou. Most of the time you wouldn't know if you were stood next to someone from China or HK on the MTR. However, I do find it kinda funny when a loud, obnoxious, suitcase wielding tourist step

Nope, this is a pretty good summary of all Chinese tourists and, for the most part, a good summary of what it's like getting around China. As others have said though, I wouldn't let this put you off visiting China. There are some

I have no idea to be honest, I remember with all of my bank accounts I would have to download software and use a USB dongle just to login as the OP said. I think it's partly because of how awful the security on Chinese websites is, but

Also lived in China for a few years, and all of this is definitely true. Quite often I would be stood in line waiting while people try and load their QR codes on WeChat with their awful internet, and then after scanning the QR code have to
