The impact of the Coronavirus epidemic means that many companies & individuals can see that they’re going to have a short term cash squeeze this year - they have interest payments due & the income to pay it isn’t going to be there.

Finding where to login for SA is the one frustration I have with SA right now. Everything else works really smoothly, but I have to resort to Googling "self assessment login" every time. Solving this doesn't require a unifie

I have seen very similar bugs (the same text glitches for sure) under Linux (Radeon RX580, open source drivers) in the past. I had put it down to open source drive stack bugs, but maybe it was actually a Firefox bug? I’ll try and take a scr

Can we say with 90% certainty that a human would have saved the situation? Yes, given the misleading nature of the dashcam video I think we can. This was not a pitch dark road lit only by headlights where an obstacle "appeared out of

The video released by Uber was extremely misleading. Here is a video on YouTube of the same stretch of road taken by someone with an ordinary phone camera shortly after Elaine’s death: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRW0q8i

I always end up hitting Firefox’s readability mode button when reading Dan’s site. Normal browser width is just too wide for wall-to-wall text.

In the UK, ordinary families don't have access to large amounts of ready cash - the money they intend to spend on your house is currently tied up in their existing house. So if you want the deepest pool of buyers (& hence to realis

No one is saying git doesn’t have problems. It's just weird that you keep on conflating issues with Github with issues with git.

Nothing about your problems had anything to do with git & everything to do with the commercial service you were using for your source code hosting. Github the company is not interested in providing you (or anyone else) with free storage

The fact that you had a problem with github quotas isn’t really a problem with git though, is it?

It’s kind of ironic that Google Maps is so bad at some things then. Walking & Cycling directions are especially bad - I get much better directions from OSM than I do from Google Maps. For driving directions GMaps is much better. I presu

Google’s approach to coping with bad actors, i.e. immediately cutting off people from their entire Google presence for anything that trips their automated systems on any individual platform, is incredibly abusive. People can have years and

Based on my experience with bazel the phrase “should be simple enough” is doing an awful lot of work in that sentence ;) It’s just a SMOP, right?

Build rules for bazel are straightforward when you’re on the happy path & trying to do something that bazel already understands. It’s when you’re not on the happy path that things get awkward. E.g. How easy is it to integrate a new C++

Github has been really working on their source code analysis toolkit recently & this acquisition makes perfect sense as part of that strategy. Congratulations to Oege & the team.

Yup. Friend hosted him locally & has nothing good to say about Stallman whatsoever. He’s had decades to listen to people telling him that his behaviour was unacceptable. The fact that he hasn’t changed at all is on him.

Can I suggest that you learn to brake effectively? You should not be going over the handlebars when you brake hard. Under hard braking, the front brake is the only one that matters, because the back wheel will lift off. Find a safe bit of t

The LR version of the model 3 costs a lot more than the Mini is projected to cost. Even the stock Model 3 costs £12k more than the currently planned price of the electric Mini (both including UK electric car grants.) That’s why I compared
