London is very much the same. The recent large expansion of cycle routes along the Thames and the resultant roadworks has increased the us vs them sentiment unfortunately :(

I don't know much about engines nor cars but I am guessing that even with electric motors one needs gears? If so then there would be a need for gearbox oil.

This might be all completely true but doesn't regard mindshare or loyalty. Apple has historically had a fanatical fan base, and should be spending a small fraction of their huge cash reserves to make sure they keep a fanatical fan bas

I guess it does create a situation, and in that situation, as you say, there's opportunity to observe reactions etc. Just seems such a miserable thing, people thumbing through your phone.

When did this start to become a thing? Why is it even a thing? Is it just part of the progression of more intrusiveness, or is there something specifically they are looking for? Does anyone know what they do once they have your phone and

Wow. Did they have a rationale behind this? On the face of it, it sounds like they didn't understand VM's.

Not the answer you want but an ipad might limit the damage that can be done. It would remove the need for education.

Ah I see, I figured this was just plain Minesweeper that you could have played on an Apple ][e! Thanks for the info, it isn't quite as bad as it initially sounded. Shame that there is still advertising in the OS though.

by konradb 10y ago
It feels like the height of bad taste to have ads baked into your OS. I can't imagine anyone feeling better or happier that they have ads in their OS. Seems a very crass move.

> Solitaire and Minesweeper are freemium apps with a subscription of $10/year to get the full version. Seriously? Minesweeper needs to be a subscription? Is this true? You have to have a paid subscription to get what is the equival

It would be a huge shame if the same fate befell Periscope which I find hugely intriguing - just the ability to look at some arbitrary place in the world.

I remember being left alone in the car at 7 or 8. If it was too hot I would have opened the window, or in extreme cases, stepped outside for some time.

jQuery to me has the same connotations but I was surprised by Bower. As an out-of-the-loop sometime JS developer what's respectable these days, npm/gulp/sass, vanilla.js/react/angular2?

To an old man out of the loop, what gives you a supported, future-looking feeling?

I was hoping for evidence that they'd used the Linx multi-lense technology startup they bought; though perhaps this was it :(

I can't figure out what this would tell you. Would it tell you that initial ideas were often better or worse than subsequent ideas? The sensitivity of teams to how product market fit occurred? I can't figure out how it would be

Yes those are the toilets! I was amazed by them and found that the flush control clicks out and the access to the cistern is behind it, and that's why typically the flush button is so large, because you just tile the whole cistern int

I had a look at the UK and found a company called http://www.doorsets.org.uk . These guys look like they import these kind of doors into the UK, and they say their brands are manufactured by a company called Grauthoff. They hav

Yes those Huf Häuser are amazing. I found that there were suppliers of the doors in the UK but I haven't looked further afield. The windows (opening two different directions) are also similarly impressive though much more widespread.

I am always impressed the building standards and systems in Germany. I had a look at these doors as I was intruiged and beguiled by them. They always felt substantial and well-engineered to me. I found that one typically buys a 'door

Presumably if you re-dosed in the evening you would be up very late the next morning, or did it not affect you like that?

What syntax do you feel would be more expressive and as versatile, while not losing macros?

This reminds me of the ArsDigita Community System by Philip Greenspun and his company, all written in TCL, until I think there was some Java rewrite at about the time everything went wrong.

How come these services are unwanted/not tolerated? This sounds interesting.

An API for Natwest would be amazing, but won't this be against their TOS? Just wondering if they are aware of your work and OK with it.

From the link that was posted in reply to you, 'hope against hope' means 'to have hope even when the situation appears to be hopeless'. Which means he does have hope, even though the situation appears to be hopeless.
