   I’ve started going to Meetups (via Meetup.com) about anything vaguely interesting looking (especially the non-technical ones). I think it’s good to get out and meet new people, and talk about things which don’t involve programming or techno

   This is why I’ll only use Vanilla Android (your second point, not your first one). The customisation OEMs do to Android reminds me of the old, bad, days of Windows XP.

    A big complaint I hear from people moving from MacOS to Windows is the lack of the Virtual Desktop feature. Windows 10 actually has this, and it works really well. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com&#

    Personally I wonder if the rise in Bitcoin could be linked to Russian sanctions like the Magninsky act? Could now blacklisted Oligarchs who were previously using western financial institutions to launder their money now be using Bitcoin ins

    Rare might not refer to the painting itself. For example, if an artist had most of their work destroyed, any remaining paintings would be a rare painting by that artist . Or if a historically significant figure had only been painted by a

    I feel as though, with C#, Microsoft's brilliance was to get a number of very clever people in a room together (Anders Hejlsberg, Eric Lippert, etc). Somebody at Microsoft said to themselves, these guys are clearly brilliant, let'

    A co-worker of mine recently got a Surface Laptop. Very nice piece of kit, but even that came loaded with ads, and would search Bing and the app store every time you searched the start menu. It's little things like this that make Windo

    Windows has gotten a lot better, but the rules regarding new computers hasn't changed in the past 30 years, you still need to wipe the hard drive and install it yourself from scratch, and then spend a little time disabling the ads, bin

    I find that a lot of people who say they suffer from imposter syndrome are really just humble-bragging. They 100% know that they are good, but it's socially better to show false modesty.
