Or perhaps replacing bitcoin with something that doesn't have fundamental flaws in its design. Hence why a lot of us think it has no inherent value into the future. Of course, those in on the ponzi scheme will disagree with this sentim

On Ubuntu? I dual boot with windows and while your statement is 100% factual with Ubuntu, it seems to be better handled on windows. This appears to be a software issue; admittedly one which I think that they should be dealing with as a matt

I am super interested in that final point of yours. Any more details you can share? Also, I owe you a beer in real life for enabling my app to exist.

Are you on the US site or another? If I go to the US site, the option for an ubuntu flavour isn't there. If you go to the UK version: http://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptop-and-2-in-1-pcs/xps-13/...

It is applicable if Verizon have a single EU citizen on their books, which they do; if the EU wish to pursue them I'm sure there is some way they could be held accountable. I am not so sure that american companies can just "hide&q

This is going to be a natural result of the incoming GDPR. My own startup will be doing something similar in order to remain compliant. You now have to ask politely for people's data, and then give them a carrot in return for it.

Also, it is worded to say that it's 4% of global revenue for your parent company. So there is no setting up an offshored tiny company to wear the liability - your parent company is on the hook, wherever that money may reside.

Because apparently it's a rite of passage / hazing ritual to go on IRC / stackoverflow and be flamed for asking simple questions. It's been that way since the dawn of time.

To give some kind of context on more "modern" methods, we use stupendous numbers of PDFs, DOORS for requirements traceability and tons of code commenting. At last count our project had 0.73 commenting lines per line of code (and w

I have the VicTsing 1080p USB C to HDMI dongle and it works fine on Ubuntu and Windows 10. The standard dell one doesn't seem to work as well on both (yeah...).

I own a Dell XPS 13 and it seems to be fine build quality wise. Others have not been so lucky. To be honest though, if I had the budget and Apple weren't being ridiculous with the specs I'd still consider a mac a much better devel

I find it so valuable when people in this kind of position within the software industry admit their human faults. It is so easy to fall into the trap of impostor syndrome. We all have these problems, and coupled with the potential complexit

In a world where people are forced to wear hi-vis and safety goggles, I don't think people on a shop floor are going to particularly care about looking good if it makes their job easier.

If it's raining, you ride or take public transport there. Most employers and commercial centres offer showers for cyclists. If it's too cold, you wear more clothes. Admittedly, most places with good bike use do not have many hills

I'd like to hear from others in the EU who have gone this route. What are the pros, what are the cons, and is it possible to base yourself in another EU country and conduct all your business through this?
