The UK system is very smooth as a small business owner. When an employee leaves a job they are given a P45 form to hand to the new employer, which contains a summary of any pay to date for the current tax year along with a tax code. All I h

That's not entirely true - veganism has made massive strides in the last few years simply because more information is becoming available about the environmental, ethical and (arguably) health issues surrounding our heavy meat consumpti

I was worried about all of the above when switching to Arch (Manjaro KDE) from Windows as a web developer/CGI artist/graphic designer, however it's been easier than expected and I've decided to stick with it. Maybe these

Our small design firm has used Figma a few times on large apps with hundreds of screens, and we prefer it to Sketch. It's smooth in the browser, although we use the desktop version which runs remarkably well on Electron. Files auto-sav

That's fine for jQuery, Bootstrap etc, however most modern frameworks are bundled into a single package with all of the templates and logic, making a shared CDN useless. It would be interesting to see some benchmarks of a cached CDN An

I had a similar experience with a top spec late 2016 MBP, which I switched to from a PC for web development. It was my first and last Apple product. After opening the lid one day there was a loud crackling noise and the speakers were both b

If you like Hypernormalisation you should definitely look into his other documentaries, especially Century of the Self. It explores the rise of advertising in the 20th century, revealing how it emerged from propaganda during the wars and de

It takes 29 hours for a single CPU core (or thread?) to render one frame, which is reasonable for Pixar-quality scenes. Big Hero 6 was rendered using 55,000 CPU cores in parallel, which would bring the final render time closer to 70 hours f
