That indeed is a good link. If you’re setting yourself up in a consultancy, you don’t usually need start up capital and hence no loans required. Bank accounts and insurance are a requirement however!

I'd say forget about getting "a job" and write your own apps, or do consultancy work where clients engage your company - not you. Though I'd check about you being able to be a company director.

I was diagnosed with CFS, and it turned out to be coeliac disease. I still occasionally run out of spoons, but historically I can often track it down to an accidental contamination event.

It was. By odroid. However Broadcom didn't appear to like where/how they sourced the components and refused to sell them any more chips. https://hackaday.com/2014/07/30/a-real-raspberry-pi-clone-no..

You've not noticed that windows has moved system settings dialogs each version since NT3.1?

Try again, there's a redirect, and a very very slow download after.

Could it be that you're used to the increasingly stupidity of windows? Win -> Mac conversion is annoying I agree. But once you've shrugged off the expectation of windows behaviours you'll be fine. Cognitive dissonance is a

I'm not sure about force touch, but my windows running Lenovo x230's touch pad is very good. Just a little different from the apple ones I use but really quite usable. Trouble with PCs is you're comparing Apple kit with anyth

At least with Amazon you can get refunds easily, and even if they're out of their return windows. I've managed to get a set of mis-sold harddrives refunded with a delayed return so I could transfer the files off them. I very much

How is 9P not a "real" filesystem API? Asking for a friend. Fuse and, indeed 9P2000.u are both indeed complicated as hell, but appear to require it as their underlying FS is posix^Wlinux-based and thus a higgledy-piggledy API nigh

This. Absolutely this. A good friend used to lament about the data they were entering was of very poor quality. However the skews were somehow magically understood by the consumers of the data or maybe overall the day averaged out over time
