Both things could be true. Surely investment in monocrops is affecting wild bee population? If the pesticides affect farmed bee populations, why shouldn't they in term have the same affect on wild bees? Isn't their physiology goin

Most people in the UK use WhatsApp .. the fact that we have WhatsApp groups means Facebook can make this ultimatum with fairly good confidence we'll stomach it.

It's an example of a minor infraction, and police are most likely able to use their discretion with this type of lawbreaking. Other more serious crimes will almost definitely require a charge. The fact that their discretion overwhelmin

The library doesn't solve any UX problems; it just means the components don't need to be built from scratch.

You were referring to applications that businesses use in-house. I responded to that point. I'm sorry, I still think my point stands. Even in-house software requires a good user experience, and the UI directly affects that UX. Designin

Better usability is always better. The UI directly affects usability. If a problem is so straightforward it doesn't require designing, sure .. then go ahead and let anyone build it. If not, find someone who has spent time solving simil

I completely agree. Conceptually, no and low code tools allow you tred along the _trodden_ path. Sooner or later you're going to want to go somewhere new, and when you do want to provide something custom where do you go? Dreamweaver t

I've just started to get back into working with 3D graphics after a 20 year hiatus. It's amazing to see the quality and range of toolkits available in Blender. Absolute joy to use.

If anything, I think this is a great reason why Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook should be broken up. There's an argument from an anti-monopoly / competition point of view. But perhaps organisational as well? Perhaps smaller com

I guess this is a good example of why we should be building a very flexible abstraction layer between our payment services and the payment processor we use. We don't need to be held hostage - but probably will if we're not careful

Communication has become weaponised. It either helps the cause, or hinders it. The content is irrelevant.

As terms, 'conspiracy theory' and 'fact' both feel loaded today. I wonder whether reverting to more neutral labelling would held create a less heated dialogue? Founded and unfounded, for example.

Okay, so Google hasn't completely killed it yet - but the App is going to be decommissioned. I find Keep a really useful way to make notes, regardless of the device or channels I'm using. It's a real shame this is happening i

The first computers I used to program were probably BBC Micros .. which most schools in the UK had in the late 80s. Friend's had ZX spectrums, Amstrad CPCs, Commodore 64s .. but my family didn't have the cash to buy any of these.
