I'm an Italian citizen and my wife is American. Getting the necessary paperwork to be married in Rome was a considerable pain. We were dealing with an especially officious dignitary in at the consulate in London. However something wond

Because it was built with the newer design language that Apple was developing - they used it in Quicktime too. I'd hazard a guess that the key difference was that at the time that MacOS 9 came out, you could get something in as long as

I’ve had a great career mostly because of the people I’ve worked with. I’d say a huge motivator getting to where I am now has been the chance to gather those people and work with them in a team again.

Same! After something like 12 years I couldn’t imagine not having it around. It makes every coffee taste better. See also: carrying around your own chopsticks and cutlery.

When I was reading for the bar in 2011 (analogous to 'taking' the bar in the US), one test, that of writing 'opinions' was, incredibly, still a handwriting-only assessment. It was expected that you would have to turn in

I lived in Fingeringhoe. I was an adult before someone pointed out how smutty the name was. The principle of the local primary school told us that the older name was “fingeringahoe” which if anything was worse!

I also don't fault the British too much for a lack of true democracy after I read the unclassified diplomatic cables re: what Zhou Enlai said about taking 'positive action' (ie: invasion) if HK ever got self-rule, at least we

Nice! I was just complaining about the CI/CD environment startup time that causes a lot of friction in our local testing. This seems like a great solution!

I'm the CTO of a company tackling exactly this problem (www.salesbricks.com) and I'd go one further. The complexity in billing, invoicing, payments etc are _not_ the stuff that computers or systems do. The complexity is and always

As a parent, none of the risks are as profound as that of some other member of the public calling the police to inform on your “dangerous parenting”. I’ve deliberately chosen to live in a walkable part of the Bay Area in the hopes that my k

The implication of the tweet is that somehow the U.K. standards dropped. In fact the EU changed their standard for consumer messaging, and the U.K. hasn’t adopted a new scale yet. So no. Not deregulation. By the same measure, the U.K. could

I remember the Idle Thumbs podcast made a running joke of the fact that 2010 was supposed to be "Year of the PS3" because I believe Kaz Hirai had suggested that it would take multiple years for developers to unlock the true power
