Do not listen to the naysayers! The problem with this kind of endeavour is how to convince people their genuine need for it. I call this the, "green eggs and ham" paradox. People will say they make lists on paper, or in a pocket b

I switched to Studio 2.0 hoping for better NDK support over 1.5. However, it appears to still require the experimental Gradle plug-in. Which, frankly, isn't very good. I'm still building my native .so separately using NDK build. I

Let's say I'm Chinese and do not set foot in the UK and you are my tenant. You pay money into my bank account. I do not file a UK tax return. how exactly am i taxed on this rent. Capital gains do not apply to companies. I own the

hear hear. the UK is one of the few places in the world that a non-tax resident can buy land freehold. That means the owner pays no tax on gains and no tax on rental income (There's been talk of taxing them but how exactly?). Here in L

The almost worst thing that smart watches do is tell the time. Back in 1978 i had to press a button to see the time on my digital watch. now I'm doing it again. When will the makers realise this and move on to the true benefits of wear

Big thumbs up for this compiler! I've been using it to develop my z80 trs-80 star trek game. I constantly check the code output to ensure it hasn't done something silly, but it all looks good. massively better than writing assembl

im seening a lot of variants such as .io and .co around, what do people think about these, and others like them. or is this all just to push up the price of .com, when in fact, there are a lot of new top-level domains appearing.

Agreed. I have had many arguments with people concerning physical calculators and calculator apps. But despite what people say, they actually use apps when on the move. They may have a real calculator on their desk (i do too), but the truth
