For those curious, it makes about $500 or so per month. At one point it was making $2000 per month but eBay changed the payout strategy - one thing to be aware of when dealing with affiliate programs.

A year. I was spending way too much time on eBay, so I wrote something for myself that would scrape the web pages and use a kill list to filter out the junk. I wanted a better UI to add words to the kill list and realised I could make money

Ugh - we were talking with a group specifically about unconscious biases and while one person was relating how they had unwittingly found out one of their unconscious biases, another person looked on in pity and then declared how proud they

My immediate thoughts are how slow and heavyweight it feels. It needs to be snappy like Trello.

I just happened to listen to an old Stack Overflow podcast where they talked about code reviews. They said they do in-person code reviews before committing code. (I find this is the most valuable way of doing code reviews vs pull requests&#

We do both here. For some code, eg shared libraries, we're distributed so it has to be via PR. Better than that though is OTS review, which is what we practise on our projects where we're all in the same cubicles. Basically, when

TLDR: This is not about Steve Jobs. It's about someone stealing valuable books from a monastery via secret passages.

I like to spend 15 minutes out of my work day reading technical books. To encourage this habit I like to see when I'll finish a book (eg in 2 weeks time) - it's amazing how quickly you can get through a book if you spend just 15 m

Now that I can relate to. But am I wrong in thinking that most people can do this? Not for classical music but for popular songs. Ie if you ask someone to think of one of their favourite songs, couldn't they basically listen to it in

To try to understand what this feels like, there are some movies I can do this with, like Star Wars or The Matrix because I've seen them so many times. Can't imagine being able to do this for everything I've watched though!

I remember at one point there was a "White Pages" published which listed every email address on the internet. Such fame. So wow. My other brush with fame was having my site posted on slashdot and later on digg. http://w

And there's this: https://xkcd.com/1053/ It's too easy to ridicule a comment like the one below about things being 400 years after the fact. Rather, we can take it as an opportunity to educate!

I remember Wizardry 4 had a red booklet like that - you had to look up a MordorCharge card number.

Unless I've misunderstood you, I'm not sure that's a strawman argument. I'm not arguing against the original point! I'd like to have better representations than just plain text. The fact that our current input metho

There's a lot of news and 'new' stuff on the internet. And then occasionally you see something like this which is truly a fresh idea. I feel inspired when that happens!
