As someone who's spent more than the last year trying to learn handstands as an adult, they're seriously hard. I don't know how long you've been practising, but I totally underestimated how long it would take me to bal

The problem is that in Germany I believe schooling is mandatory - you can't homeschool, for example. So what do you do with kids whose parents refuse to vaccinate? In Australia they went for a different approach - just make it really e

I had no idea that the parrot emoji was based on the Kakapo attempting to mate with Mark Carwadine! That's a really funny video, too. I wasn't so impressed by the TV series, but the original book of Last Chance to See by Douglas A

I live in New Zealand, and I recently switched basically entirely over to wild game for red meat. I can buy it in my local supermarket, it's more expensive than cheap meat but actually less than the high-welfare farmed meat that I boug

How is your handstand now? Doing a decent handstand was one of my goals for this year that I didn't quite make, but I'm getting there. They're harder than I ever imagined! Otherwise looks like an excellent set of goals :-)

Hey Alexa, do these symptoms sound like cancer? "Sir, we have decided for unspecified reasons to suddenly decline your medical insurance. Have a nice day."

That's not what happened. Google mailed this out to anyone signed up for a Google Trends alert about New Zealand , which is a lot of people, most of whom are presumably in New Zealand where the name suppression order is in force.

I've been a monthly donor to the Guardian for a long time now. Their opinion pieces have been getting more hysterical over time but I just don't read them, and I think their news coverage is really great.

I agree this is very unusual. It's also somewhat annoying, for example I can't just send this to my Kindle to read it, and I can imagine other tools failing on this as well.

For a really nice solution to the error message problem, see this recent strangeloop talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jes3bD6P0To Basically it uses the parse tree disambiguation from the GLR parser to look for the most

One thing that isn't quite clear to me after a quick peruse of the website - say I'd like to use WireGuard as a VPN for my general personal internet security. I guess I'd need a server running somewhere with a WireGuard serve

600 seems low - I earned a lot more than that back in the day, and that was a long time ago. A quick search of jobserve.com for just "java" found roles quoting up to 750 on the first page, and if you're any good that'll

In my case I was mostly referring to the fact that I left a lot of acquisition money on the table at Google, but it was totally worth it. I've been lucky with what I'm doing now and it's worked out very well financially, and

As a contractor in the UK, I paid less tax than an employee would. HMRC brought in IR35 to try to combat that, but at the time I was contracting (early 2000's) most contractors were still paying less tax - I'm not sure if that&#x2

Great article about the promotion process and the employee dynamic at Google. It very accurately summarises much of why I quit there so quickly after coming in via an acquisition. That conversation made me realize that I’m not Google. I pr

I wonder how performance sensitive this code has to be? Clojure is a pretty bad choice for numerical work in general since function parameters are usually just Object and this leads to a lot of boxing. You can type hint them as primitives b
