It will be interesting to see what happens to the world of work when those (ex-)drivers who have a significant commute are able to perform some work during that commute. It would be great if employers would be open-minded enough to allow em

Or use something like 'pash', a powershell work-alike for UNIX-likes.

And .NET code _does_ compile to native code even without NGEN - it just does it 'Just In Time'. It's pretty close to native code just before that step, so the actual native compilation is very fast.

It's not clear from the article whether the data is available to the world, or only to my contacts. If it's public, that's worse, but, while it's not good to leak 'private' information, I've seen a lot wor

I'm confused about what is being leaked here. The information which the writer says is somehow available unintentionally to my contacts is pretty much the information I provide freely to my contacts, e.g. my profile picture, status. Ok

The Apache licence grants patent rights. Microsoft make patent promises elsewhere, so using Apache might confuse matters.

Indeed, don't. I used twm for years and found it perfect for a simple 'some xterms' desktop.

Ah yes I saw prose before and it looked promising. A bit techie for most, but it's fine for me. I had wondered about build and deploy - thanks for the pointer to TravisCI.

I like the static site idea (I used it for years for my personal site), but I also like having a web front end for editing. I can't find a static site generator with a dynamic admin/posting end. Anyone seen one?

I've been looking for some real-world examples of how currying might be useful in javascript. Haven't not used a language which supports currying for any real world project, I'm interested to know how it can help. I found a p

It's only slow because the site's under load. It occasionally goes nice and quick.

Same Chrome version here, Windows 8.1. Works fine. Perhaps it's just that the site's a bit loaded.

Next step: Use valve transistors. Bonus points for using them in place of the LEDs too!

Others have said Windows. I'd say Windows Phone, too. It might be missing some things I'd like (Google stuff like Hangouts and Plus, which will likely never come) but otherwise it's a great OS, stable, fast, well designed and

It looks like the problem that gave me crackles when using the audio output jack may have been fixed with a firmware update. Thanks, you gave me reason to check and I might be able to put my Pi back into service! https://github.c

It's a deal breaker for me, yes. It took years to persuade Spotify to fix this problem.

Last time I tried this, the sound output was awful from the Pi itself and glitchy when using a USB DAC. Any problems with the audio in your experience?

It's third party code I worry about, where it hasn't been written to expect a root directory. I can chroot on *NIX, I suppose. Perhaps I should go and have a look at how code using boost normally deals with dependency injection fo

I like to be able to inject a 'filesystem' object into code for testing, so as not to have to use a real filesystem. This doesn't look like it supports that, which is a shame. My other tactic is to create a temp directory at
