I'm in the same situation - skateboarded from my mid-teens to my early thirties, twenty years give or take, then moved to the Swiss Alps so took up snowboarding. I don't skate anymore, so spend the summer doing short bike rides to

This is why algorithmic based curation/display of content is a bad thing, it can be gamed. Show me the accounts I follow in chronological order and the only way it can be gamed is if those accounts continually post over and over again

It is at odds with some of the blogs they have been posting[1], but those seem to focus on more of the frontend / app side of things. Having worked for a PSP and integrated with several of the big UK banks, I really really really hop

Somewhat related, the Forint still officially has minor units but practically they're never used except in some cases where they're for display only. Frustratingly some banks don't use them in transactional data, which can le

Not only that - they wrote at least two songs that referenced how much they hated "Creep" and how it had become a crutch. It's why I find it hard to believe that "Radiohead" are making the infringement claim here an
