Why do you think Google Sites or Wikis fail where Confluence succeeds? I've never used Confluence (and don't really like Atlassian products in general), but am willing to try it. Have been playing with Google Sites and the main th

We started using Zenhub for management (migrating from a messy asana-based process) and have really been enjoying it!

This looks more like a phishing scam than a security audit. Anyone asking for things like plain-text passwords sounds a bit fishy to me.

I've seen this in code I've reviewed before, where people will check for `== "empty"` instead of just using types like `null` which were designed for this (in javascript).

Makes it quite unmaintainable. Yes, beautifully engineered projects can fail, this is uncontroversial. The difference is that something well engineered is easier to fix, maintain and iterate upon.

Late reply here but I built them myself, and it was painful.

Well, in fairness the WP codebase is horrific. I used to write everything in PHP, and once thought it a good idea to build a system in WP because it was user friendly. I needed some custom auth plugins and a custom theme. Having fought with

Irrelevant really, as cross-EU collaborations have been hugely important to UK-based research. Additionally, we're a net beneficiary of EU research funding.

Despite the (somewhat heated) discussion below, this article is actually quite pointless. Having good tools does not make you a good craftsman, I'm not sure this is contentious. I don't think that anyone would argue that (good too

Very anecdotally, this was something that I noticed not just in SF, but also LA. The marked difference for me as a Londoner between the huge homelessness problem we have in London and what I saw in SF/LA was the levels of mental illnes

This looks like a very appealing framework, but reminds me of the horrors of using Google Web Toolkit or Meteor. There are different concerns when writing on the client (less controlled) and the server (more controlled) - chvid mentions the

We use surge.sh to host our production app for our customers, and have been very happy except for one bout of downtime which was very frustrating. I have no objection to paying 13$/mo if surge would implement some premium redundancy fe

For me the improvement would be when messaging while walking. Dumbwalkers (people walking around with their eyes on their phone screens rather than their surroundings) drive me up the wall. I would prefer accurate dictation so I could walk

Apropos of etiquette, I'd say it's context-dependent. Even walking in the street I am slightly uncomfortable dictating my messages (maybe it's just a privacy thing, or maybe it's because it makes my speech stilted enough

In the UK, at least, the welfare system is already extremely controlling of people's lives. I don't see why a UBI scheme, by necessity, would regulate people's lives in this way. If applied universally with no caveats - lit

For me, there are two major barriers to voice-to-text dictation: 1) when I'm writing a message (probably due to laziness), I don't always have the full thing formed in my head. If I were dictating to a person, abortive words and p

Unsure - texts have been free in the UK for years and the majority of the people I know use WhatsApp. I started using it instead of Apple's iMessage because it's just more reliable and universal.

Finally! I've been manually downloading my statements to plug into an account aggregator for way too long now (yes I know about yodlee integration, am I ever going to put every single password into it? Hell no).
