   "The decision could encourage more sites to turn on encryption, which makes them less vulnerable to hacking". What? This is entirely wrong. It makes them more vulnerable to hacking. There is a whole lot more complex software and c

   I realize I don't have a well argued set of reasons. But sometimes you just look at something and think there has to be a better way than this.

   I hate this new HTTP. They seem to have taken a beautifully simple concept and added so much complexity it's ugly and horrible and awful.

   I think most people think that by far the most likely thing is that they missed something and this isn't doing what they "claim". While quietly hoping it does :P

   I don't take any at all and I sleep perfectly well when I want to. Does that count as data?

   The reason there has not been much innovation is that even ZIP files are pretty close to the best you can do for general purpose compression. You might get a few more percent by improving the algorithms but there simply isn't much more

    I don't understand why people like go. It seems to be missing a lot of features and be pretty ugly and painful. I guess compared to javascript I can see the advantages though

    I wish there were small supplements that contained maybe 10-20% of the recommended amounts of things. I eat reasonably well. Most of the time. So I probably get enough of most of the vitamins and minerals. But I'm sure some I get more

    I agree with a lot of the comments here. Just cut way down on sugars of any kind in general. I cut out about 90% of them about a year ago as part of a weight loss plan, and I'm sure I feel much better for it (Well, and losing weight to

    I read part of the article but as they didn't seem to explain what a "hamburger menu" was, something I've never heard of, I gave up.

    There have been several websites recently where I've given up because after 10 attempts or so I still can't get the capcha right.

    Ugh another hateful mobile phone thing being introduced just because it's new and therefore better. What next? Removing the kernel and replacing it by web service calls to a mobile phone "app". Keep this rubbish out of my ker

    I thought several times about building a bitcoin wallet but I'm just too worried that I'll get something wrong and either lose a key or accidentally make a transaction that loses coins so decided not to risk it even for my own use

    Regardless of the legal position ZeniMax are being asses. Unless this gets resolved I shall be avoiding giving them my money in future and encouraging others to do the same to the extent I can be bothered.

    Linkedin seems to exist entirely so recruiters can spam people. I put up with it for a long time but finally had enough and deleted my profile. Nothing of value was lost and I get a lot less spam.

    Test... good. TDD ... sometimes (often) good. But unit tests can lead to an overly abstracted design that harms the quality of the code. Test what you can with unit tests but don't compromise your code to do so when there are other way

    No. It's mostly due to the big increase in standards of living over the past 40 years. But the BBC don't want to admit that things have actually improved quite a lot because it conflicts with the narrative they try to push day aft

    I'm happy for my ISP to be able to reconfigure my router so I can call them up and say I was messing about with it and broke it and can they fix it please. But that's because I use aaisp.net.uk who I trust for this kind of thing a

    Good for him. Not for what he did, I have no opinion on it. But for actually having some principles other than how to make more money.
