Don't forget the "service charge" (different to a tip, akin to Ticketmaster) I've started seeing on deliveroo in the UK

It's actually quite massive. Most sites (well not most, but a lot) sit behind something like cloudflare, so your scummy intercepting ISP would only see a connection to cloudflare. Of course none of this really means too much until encr

Mixcloud is great however the people in charge seem to be intent on killing the platform with bad ideas. I say this as a huge fan and a paying customer (premium user). The android app is horrible. They used to have 10-30 minutes of cache ti

Huge fan of your work. Use it daily with no problems. Just wanted to say, from the bottom of my heart, thanks.

This nailed it for me. I came back to write some go last night after not writing it for a long time. The modules, go dep, etc stuff really put me off. Whereas beforehand (been writing stuff for a few years, not hobbyist, just not super comp

My two: There will be a phone virus similar to conficker/iloveyou which will exploit millions of android phones/smart devices on a huge scale. IPV6 will become the de-facto for phones relatively early on in 2020s. There will be a

Honestly, same. These days an egpu would be spot on. Nobody (or very few people) are gaming on trains, planes, etc. But the ability to work somewhere random and then bring an extra box (egpu) to play in a hotel or somewhere that's not

IIRC you can complain (either on uber or uber eats) that the driver didn't look like their photo. It might be from that. Not sure how else they can get the info

"You can use a raspberry pi or a configurable router to grab telemetry packets and kill them" is not the same as "you can turn off windows telemetry" like the guy i was replying to. I agree about the security updates. Ho

I'd prefer to manage my server myself. But thanks for your input about randomly rebooting my server and losing work being "the only solution". Also you can't fully disable telemetry. Even in server 2016 with sconfig you

This is exactly why I was massively concerned about the cloudflare IPO. I always saw cloudflare as being one of the top tech companies in the world, no bullshit, high quality service, blog posts which are incredible, open source (contributi

Sorry, i should have been more specific.. i'm talking about the 6 person company the OP was on about (assuming they get a private office for 6 people) as opposed to just one singular person here. From what i can see in my cursory googl

Is it different in the US? in the UK (London) it is literally like 25% (£1000+) more expensive than just renting a "normal" (nice) office. Couple that with the "noob" factor of having clients or whoever walking into a bi

The conditions (iirc) require continuous residence with no more than 6 months abroad per year. As she worked on cruise ships she is shit out of luck.

Pre-settled wouldn't be a guaranteed re-entry to the UK though would it? Or have I got that wrong? I was under the impression settled only would be valid for re-entry (which is the problem, as the deadline is in a month and it takes 5

Things today are a LOT different than they were 10 years ago. Not only are ORMs encouraged out of the box, which are (pretty much) immune to SQL injection unless you consciously run native SQL. There is also a HUGE amount of documentation,

This is EXACTLY the type of thing GDPR was designed to enforce. (Other than uninformed tracking) pretty much this exact scenario. I hope the company gets fined to the fullest extent, as this absolutely shameful. The researchers attempting t

And the telemetry. I use server 2016 as my daily driver. I swear to god that there are issues with non domain joined GPO preferences. I've 100% had it reboot on me even when using sconfig to disable (download updates) and GPO to disabl

You kind of get this already to be fair. Doing a credit check or lookup of any CCJs etc on potentisl tenants is standard procedure. It doesn't tell you if they're loud or will damage the property, but neither would this I guess.

Any plans to be able to hold money in a different currency like the Forex features of revolut? On another note, I love monzo and do use it, and don't want to offend but I just had a look at the monzo plus offering and it's a bit c

Yep. Going to Cardiff from London is the absolute worst. I've had friends say they have paid (well, clients) ~£500 for first class returns. £121 for a standard anytime single. Almost guaranteed you won't get a seat for the first h

Is the v1 config backwards compatible with this? I can't see it mentioned anywhere so assume you can just upgrade in place?

Honest question now, you say you're a casual gamer, do you have a pc with a video card? With a gigabit connection, updates are really a non-issue. I can't see why people with even moderate gaming rigs ($150 gpu) would bother with
