The thing is, if you’re not within commuting distance, why would the company pay you London rates and not standard UK rates :)

Is the problem the office or the commute? If offices, schools/nurseries and housing are all within a 20mn cycle radius the question of remote or in-office work becomes different

I think Monstrous Regiment was supposed to be a young adult entry? But I'm surprised you included Carpe Jugulum, when for me "making money" was by far the worst. it seemed so derivative, as if it had been generated with an LL

I'm not really trying to prove anything, I jsut remember that at the time, doing something with windows forms was a guarantee of getting people saying "ah it tells me i have to download .NET"

FWIW, entry to grandes ecoles is correlated far more strongly with parents being teachers than with them being rich.

nah, windows 7 maybe, but I definitely have memories of people having to install ".NET 3.5 runtime" all the time on XP

Wasnt there an issue with your apps then needing the user to install the “.NET runtime” or something? I remember it being the main reason why people stayed on win32 for so long

Well, for the internet you could say “it allows stores to show pages with their products, and people can choose what they want to order, give their address and pay it with credit card , all without leaving their home” That’s a pretty obviou

I wouldn't go that far.. introducing sugar in as many foods (and worse, drinks) as possible is a big problem. but sugar in of itself is a very useful quick energy boost. it's not like we waited for the 20th century to start liking

The amount of engineering manager hours spent on the "performance cycle" at Google and Meta is just insane. I honestly think it's a huge waste, they could get near-identical results with 10x less time spent on this whole bloa

a bunch of overzealous students putting paint on one statue of voltaire is hardly a "big move".. voltaire, his ideas and his works are still at the centre of french culture, politics and curricula

We're not talking about a controlled economy trying to set prices on an open market. We're talking about a single purchaser using its power to impose prices on suppliers. It's hardly unique - how do you think Walmart keeps it

Those vehicles will trickle down through the market. In 5 years’ time there will be lots of second hand electrics, as their rich owners trade in for the latest and greatest. Do you have any links about the CO2 footprint? I don’t see how the

Surprisingly, macs can’t actually scale the UI like Windows. All you can do is simulate higher or lower resolutions. Which is fine if your DPI is sky-high, but a real pain in the arse if you’re working with a QHD 24”for example, and just wa
