Having kids has made me realise that how your parents treated you and how your siblings treated you probably plays a bigger role than anything else (maybe apart from genetics, I'm amazed at how much my kids personalities have differed

House prices in the UK are awful. The health system is dire. The education system (in Scotland at least) is awful too (I know several teachers here who will tell you the same, and the international ratings speak for themselves. Tax is high,

The only thing that annoys me about VS code is that Microsoft decided to call it visual studio, which means if I search for help for a problem with actual visual studio I end up with vscode suggestions. Id like to know why ms thought this

I've heard with lorry driving there are issues with vibrations causing physical harm eventually? Maybe that is nonsense? If you don't mind me asking how much were you earning as a developer and how much do you earn driving lorries

I thought net neutrality was about ISPs trying to get netflix, facebook etc to pay them extra not to throttle. The only throttling I've heard of here in the UK (which has lots of providers and competition) is on torrenting. Are there e

Sort of similar, I was handed business critical system to maintain on my own. I was new into the company, and new into that industry too. I was expected to handle business requests, establish good relations with users and run all meetings w

It also ignores a simple fact, we do not have to post on twitter. It is a choice, it is a free exchange, presumably the people who post on twitter enjoy it and Elon makes money. Serfs, well they were forced to work someone else's land

For me it's the hardware support in windows. I've been using Linux on and off for 15 years, but every time I've tried to switch my home desktop I've always run in to issues. I used mint Linux for quite a while and it mak

I used Google code. Then it announced it's closure either Google code or GitHub provided tools to import projects in to GitHub. I can't remember which. But I did that.

A few years ago I recall the new CEO sort of relaunched source forge on hacker news and seemed very keen to listen to feedback. I wonder what ever happened with that.

I think you are probably right. (Or you a medic by any chance) Edit, looking on NHS website, angina symptoms come on during exercise. This was happening while still. Edit2: actually no, unstable angina can come on anytime

I went to A&E (ER in the UK). They did two ECGs and said they thought I was ok. A month a go I discovered I'm borderline anemic (a consultant hematologist diagnosed this) but I've been told chest pain unrelated because that o

Given I'm forced to pay for the BBC a fee for a service I don't use. I'd prefer they did it as cheaply as possible, maybe it will stop it getting even more expensive. The BBC's job isn't to create nice jobs.

I've read shogun and now i'm watching the latest TV show. Both are amazing. Is the wife he's buried with Japanese? And he had one in England too?

I think you are talking about a different issue. Also the six figure salary point is irrelevant, it's just a personal attack.

Not so much moral, but I don't think piracy is good for the game industry. And the primary use case for yuzu is playing pirated Nintendo games. I doubt a significant percentage of users are playing games they bought legitimately. In sh

I've been using emulators for decades. Yuzu were making money on current gen Nintendo content, no one would pay for them patreon money if Nintendo did make the content for it. I'm fine with them being shutdown. What I'm hopi

I rarely use it now because of the web front end. Yeah old.reddit.com and plugins to redirect to it help a bit. Also why on earth would I want to use an app instead of a web browser for a site that lists wen links. Oh yeah they stopped maki

So how does that work if you are in another job? Most contracts forbid working for another company. And if they aren't in another job how do they pay bills on ten hours a week?

I doubt they are "mad". There will be a team of people whose job it is to pursue ip infringement for Nintendo, they probably don't get emotional about it.

One of my biggest weakness as a developer is that I can barely use excel. It's really embarrassing, especially since I've moved to a financial firm. Do you have any recommendations for becoming semi competent with it?
