I watch loads of Youtube channels specific to my areas of interest, outdoor sports and musical instruments and tech. I see the odd short on the feed but I just ignore them.

For a new top line one, maybe, in the UK I see them in the 10-20K range for an old one in good condition all the time. Quite a few friends have had one for a bit just to show off and lost minimal money on them. Now if you were talking about

This could be a joke, based on a recent, but now long forgotten pandemic.

This is kind of normal and increases as the number of people in the meeting increase. You have options, sometimes I'm very keen to understand every detail of what is being said but that can cause a lot of annoyance for the other people

Denmark street was so good, cheap venues with quality bands like the 12 bar. Is it true that the music shops are moving out too. It was always on my must visit location when when I went to the West End.

I lived in London pre congestion charge and learnt to drive there (I'd passed my test, but that's where I did most of the real learning). It would appear that the congestion charge didn't reduce congestion at all and was only

I went there with family in the 80s as a kid. They weren't that bad, but you have to remember the standard of dining in the 70/80s uk was pretty terrible at that point. There were lots of people there and not much choice. At this

The bubble tea shop near me seems legitimate, you get loads of teenagers and Chinese students in there, they are really friendly and their products are good and high quality. Where I am it's barbers, there are so many of them. I starte

Honestly, this video is sad, but it's incredibly tame compared to criticisms of western Governments you see every day online. China even with their firewall can't stop people sharing this kind of thing widely. Everyone knows all t

Agreed, but this is largely an American problem. In Europe and where I am in the UK, salary isn't the problem, but there is still a drive to outsource. When I've been a contract developer, I've probably been making more than

OK "they", but remember if you have a pension or any investments, you're also in on it!

Obviously this used to the the case in most developed countries, but then more and more stuff started getting outsourced and pushed into the private sector to drive shareholder value. Suddenly, space, research, military, healthcare, educati

There are some great Facebook groups around spectrum and programming the spectrum and new games and demos are still being created. I had a spectrum +3 after a vic 20 and I spent a lot of time playing on various different spectrums with frie

Java doesn't have a widely adopted framework for kickstarting development like Ruby on Rails or Django Admin Panel. Actually .net core comes much closer with web apis and the default web projects you can build. Spring boot is pretty go

The reason you mentioned is why I got sick of using Linux desktop, which I had done for several years. With Macs, yeah great...to a point but every corporation I've worked with has had 99% Windows machines and so I don't like to b

Anecdotally, the All4 app works fine on my phone and over chromecast. The biggest media app I've had issues with is the Virgin Radio app. I guess one of the reasons behind this is the Ch4 news which I feel is excellent but is generally

The cleverest guy from our school who was working several years above his level and was a prodigy in music etc was working in a papermill and living with his parents well into his 30s. Being smart does not mean being successful. Having said

IMHO people around me have been using FB more in the last couple of years, partly due to the pandemic (UK): 1. generally keeping in touch with people they couldn't see due to travel restrictions, including FB Messenger 2. organising ev

I thought the recent Tom Hanks movie "a beautiful day in the neighborhood" was an excellent study in small talk that was actually big talk and active listening. Here in the UK we know nothing about Mr Rodgers but I really enjoyed

That sounds horrendous. I had a friend from Portland that I met kayaking and he made it sound like heaven on earth. I have friends from UK who moved to work at Google (in Washington I guess?) Is there a great re-location of tech staff happe

Where do you live? Even when I lived in East London I never felt a threat of real violence including travelling worldwide. I felt more likely to be beaten up as a teenager wearing heavy metal or grunge look from other packs of roaming teens

Thanks for the reply, I'm only about 6 episodes into R&M so my view might change. What is "deep" is probably a better question, The Simpsons is pretty deep if you choose to look at it that way. I'm sure many people h

I can't stand the Avengers/Marvel style of pacing and switch off immediately with the constant CGI and fighting scene. I was completely gripped with the new Dune but God help her if she tries to watch Lawrence of Arabia, Tarkovsky

I was impressed with the Redis codebase too. I think it benefits from being relatively new in C terms so it doesn't have too much baggage (2009, is really new in terms of C projects!). It must also take a lot of discipline on behalf of

I loved Heinlein, but he's not very PC/Woke and it's probably quite dated now. Also very few people in the UK were into it, compared to America. My friends dad introduced both of us, he had stacks of sci fi from second hand s
