To counter your claim I'll point out that the Inland Revenue (non-uk people, that's the IRS/tax central) for the whole of the UK is based in Scotland. Under international law (EU law?, IANAL) it is illegal to keep or administ

Nationalist in this context has nothing in common with how the word is generally used in politics. The SNP are in favor of ethnic diversity, this is about control of resources, both natural and political, for the people who live in Scotland

Where does it go? I moved from the UK so I have lost all contact with the ongoing fiascoes.

And in Edinburgh, no wait they don't, yes they do. Eh no, they don't. (Joke explainer for the non-Scots: Edinburgh began building a street-car (tram) system some years ago, massively over budget and a huge political mess, it is no

Every time I am reminded of Armagetron I hear that low buzz sound of the lightcycles in my head. Right back in the saddle. Capture the flag Armagetron is awesome, going to have to reinstall it now!

I've wondered at the organisational chart myself, even when it isn't a question but a presentation at the start of the interview it seems pointless. "Hey, you! candidate, here is some information that is only relevant if you

Let's all remember that UX (& IxD!) should be based on research and testing, not on assumed patterns. The statement that "Make your website more scannable by using less text and adding more imagery (as humans are 90% visual cr

Every hotel I have stayed in lately has asked for a unique code from an SMS to join after providing the (universal) user and pass. I haven't encountered open wi-fi outside of an airport anywhere for years that I can remember. I would d

I have not tried Ubuntu for a couple of years. I'm very happily using Bodhi Linux on my daily computers at home. No plans to change.

Unity has never done it for me, and on my hardware it has not performed as well as I would like. edit: a google search of unity doesn't show it with a menu bar for file, edit etc anchored top the top of the screen like OS X, those menu

Magnificent link, thanks. On the Apple subreddits there are occasional discussions about moving from WIn to OS X in which this issue of the static menu bar on OS X comes up. I have always preferred the OS X way, but could never explain why.

I tried Vivaldi on OS X last week and I have to say I was quite impressed. It had a Midori/Linux feel to it which I liked (and it didn't crash). I'm going to continue using it and see if it makes it further than that one comp

While we are on the subject, can sites that include code samples not put them in those frames/boxes with the scroll bar? I realize that line shifts ruin the copy/paste experience but maybe just make your page wider than 450px on t

There is always talk on HN about American culture versus European and how Europe has no big tech companies like the US. I can't speak for all of Europe, having worked in only 2 of these countries full time, and Germans I know have a v

Considering how many google products have failed in the past and are how divided users are on the existing ones I would question whether google's culture is worth anything at all. Seems to me that many of the big tech companies are los

I'm actually relieved to find out it isn't just me and that others have been frustrated by this too. My boss thinks I'm an idiot because I struggled with ui-datepicker in angular (being used in a search field). I had to over-

No, the problem is that it isn't only a button, it's a tracker and it breaks EU-law. Right now it is "meh - other people's, other countries privacy laws" from FB, we'll see if the EU stands up for European pe
