The right is with you and I to not have to step in someone else's shit when walking down the road. Therefor it is our responsibility to provide toilets for those who have none, those who need them more often and for those who are far a

I'm not sure if this was put here to ridicule Stallman or as a coda to his comments about Skype but this is a simple well-explained argument that I happen to agree with. If local government can't use local taxes to provide shared

I was surprised to see that you didn't add any Go-specific code ligatures (e.g. for <- like Fira Code provides[1]). Has there been any thought into providing a variant with some? While I could see why some might be against them I th

My old boss had the motto: "Treat the cleaners like they're The Queen; treat The Queen like she's a cleaner" I took this to mean: treat cleaners with respect & appreciation; do not fawn and scrape to your boss

All these people pointing out that PDF was for printing, not for screen display, are I believe (at least partly) incorrect. I distinctly remember PDF being touted as a screen display technology. Adobe (and the world) already had a printable

It's not about more hours in the day - it's about more hours in the pub garden in the evening. I'm all in favour of that.

'Not statistically significant' means you can and should say nothing about it — it just as likely happened by chance as any other theory and, as such, you should leave it that: it happened by chance. In terms of analysis - it migh

Hidden in the same discussion paper is the fact that the Northern Ireland (and Welsh) parliaments would also have to ratify the new laws required to remove EU law from their legal systems. The Northern Ireland parliament would be incompeten

I did read the article. I have now read the article again. Nowhere does it answer my question. I can think of a number of natural mechanisms that would create water e.g. fire but none that could create the massive amounts of water to fill h

I must confess that I had always assumed that all the water on Earth (along with all the rock, metal, etc) was older than the sun. If only half the water is that old, where did the other half come from?
