Actually, in this case it should be both. It is a civil matter to get the house back, but obviously there was also some criminal fraud involved. The victim of the fraud though is presumably the land registry rather than the house owner.

At the very least, you should be able to provide reasons for leaving your previous employer. They might be as benign as "I wanted to grow in X direction and there wasn't the opportunity for that" but no-one has 100% rosy feel

The danger is coming across as someone who is too fixed in their approach. I'm sure we've all worked in the past with people who thought they knew everything and walked around saying 'why won't everyone just do it in the

6 months is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to judge a job and leave it. The important thing is to be able to defend it in future interviews, and do so in a reasoned way rather than an emotional one. For example instead of "the t

Yes, there's lots of reasons why you don't fly in a straight line from airfield A to airfield B. Whether that's a great circle or just a multi segment line to avoid an airspace restriction I suppose what I was really talking

Note that the Matrix WhatsApp bridge is fundamentally pretending to be the WhatsApp web client (as I understand it at least). The phone is still the interconnection point and if you turn off your phone no WhatsApp messages would get through

I've just signed up for this. I think "on average more willing to sacrifice privacy over ease of use" is probably a reasonable description of me. I'm not a fan at all of FB though, I have absolutely no trust in them at a

It's a fundamental principle thing, that has some knock-on practical effects. Navigation is fundamentally getting from point A to point B. To do that, you steer a course between the two. Do you want to describe the angle of that course

The language parser has the information to know what ingredient the unit is for though, so you could build a database of those conversions.

My issue with recipe timings is that even if you cook things for as long as it says, the overall time to cook the recipe is always very "optimistic". I assume the issue is some combination of marketing and the fact that the test c

Don't forget that it's early. I'd be surprised if it didn't diverge more and more from looking like SDV as time progresses. It's to be expected that prototyping leverages assets that he has readily available, but th

Only Haskell programmers would consider the type signature a replacement for an explanation. I don't mean to be rude to you personally - this is endemic to the culture of Haskell. Possibly once you're immersed in the world and up

This is roughly Socratic programming teaching! It's for this reason that I think one of the better monad explanations is this one: http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monad...

I'd love to read a blog post on that. I completely see how it's a difficult line to walk - you don't want to be "Rust is better than all these rubbish languages" but you still want to provide people with information

I was thinking that maybe that lack of precision was a good thing. Makes your tests less fragile. I agree though that you probably want to augment this with some form of assertion about noise level to check the high frequency smaller comp

Good INS actually involves combining several sources of information to produce a result better than any of them. A Kalman filter is the normal technique for this. You're right that magnetometry information is incorporated, but better a

I think Elixir would be interesting for your usecase. It's a dynamic, garbage collected language. It's easy to pick up and get going with. As a functional programming language there isn't a lot to learn in the way of language
