   Switched to Linux a few months ago after I got tired of running out of memory and CPU power on a 16GB i7 MBPr. My productivity has increased 2x. All those little customisations to OS that you end up doing when using Linux really do end up m

   The situation in London is very tragic. I think it will stop to function very soon.

   Mate he kept saying Allah, Muhammed, Jihad in silly ways. What more you want? I've seen Book of Mormon. I thought it was funny in the same level. It wasn't really attacking christianity, but the dumb followers of it.

   OK let me sell my shitty zone 6 flat and buy one in Mayfair instead. The problem with London is that it's no longer a city for the middle class or even upper middle class. Instead properties in London have become commodities like gold,

   This is exactly how I feel. Even though my income has quadrupled in the last three years I haven't made a single positive impact to anyone's life using my skills. This was a very sad realisation that I've basically been reinv

   For me it's the fact that so many of the new wave of techs are mainly focused on Linux. Docker being one. I think OSX is losing it's hacker status. Linux as an open source OS will eventually take over in this market.

   I live in London. My wife being Spanish I get to travel to Spain a lot, at times I stay in Spain for a few weeks. I'd always notice a certain level of relief whenever I'd set foot in Spain. Like a great weight was being lifted off

    I used to be a Flash developer, now a Javascript developer. Everything that was raised as an issue with flash (except web's open nature) is now an issue with Javascript development today. Preloaders, skip intros, single page apps, brow

    The author is very good at pointing out the problem yet offers no solution of his own. How else do you manage a mostly opensource ecosystem and not end up with different versions of everything? We don't get an answer for that. Maybe I

    I've pretty much faced all of the problems mentioned in this article. An application is set of services with a certain complexity that work together. In some cases this complexity just gets transferred from service level to orchestrati

    Breaking News, Apple is working with Lada on self driving cars. Seriously, Amex seems to have not heard of any tech progress since 1998. Their website is atrociously bad.

    Please throw this Java mentality away. Code duplication isn't an issue, code maintenance is. While lack of duplication might help, it is in no way a necessity for a maintainable code base.

    I'm all for web apps but I have to admit, when I'm using an app frequently I always download the native app. In most cases it's just a better, faster and smoother experience.

    This is an excellent idea. Lot's of cancers can be prevented this way.
