I'm in exactly the same situation, feeling exactly the same way. I don't have an answer, but I do have another option to add to your list which is to take a year out. I share the dream of making my own product, but I lack imaginat

Vertical video used to be an embarrasing mistake. Then the Chinese Communist Party created a personal data aggregation service, and to incentivise people to give them their data, they attached a vertical format video sharing feature to the

I was watching a video about women being victims and men being evil, and then out of nowhere they started talking about the amazing story of the Raspberry Pi, the highs, the lows, it's impact, and the future.

Are people only reading the first sentence I wrote? I made the argument in favour of encryption.

That's nonsense. It's all very well being ultra cynical, makes you feel high and mighty but what you're saying is absurd.

I'm in a similar boat. I've bought three "teach yourself maths" books, and I'm just going through them, doing the problems with pen and paper, old school style. Whether the knowledge it will cross over to coding is

Yes, the current government is in complete shambles, but the arguments against funding the BBC with a TV License have been made for many years. It's not just hot air from Number 10 trying to prevent bad headlines. Netflix has proven th

End to end encryption will surely make a government's task of protecting the public much harder. It allows paedos, terrorists and the like to communicate freely, and any efforts to track what they're up to must be an absolute nigh

Zowie Celeritas. Cherry MX browns with two silicon rings under the key caps to reduce the travel. It's full size UK layout including a keypad, and it's solid with no flip out feet etc. Keep it simple, it's the best.

- Inflation will begin to tail off at the very end of 2022 - JWST will work but impressive looking images that the public are hungry for will give way to purely scientific work that looks a little more mundane. - Biden will subtly disappear

I thought this was normal. Every time I wake up I'm totally exhausted despite sleeping well. I can just about manage regular life when going to work, but if I don't have work (like over xmas) I just fail at everything, my long lis

Take to the sea! If I couldn't use a computer I'd be pretty cut off from most of the world. I have no family so why not embrace it. Learn to sail, learn to fish, oil rig worker, tug boat captain. Whatever opportunity exists and wh

People always say this kind of thing. You're probably mis-remembering a headline of an article you barely read and are suggesting that was the global scientific consensus at the time. If you actually look at the real predictions about

I'm online with my team all day, via video or audio, and I use a company laptop that hooks into their VPC. Plus, I have a real job and actual work to do. Thank god, I'd be half blind by now.

Err no, if we wanted to go back to the 70, we had the perfect chance to do that by voting for Corbyn, and he lost by a landslide.

A criminal and drug addict took a massive overdose of drugs shortly before being arrested, while behind the wheel of a car. He was uncooperative with the police, they called an ambulance as they could tell he was high on drugs. He refused t

I'm disappointed that he both mentioned George Floyd and refers to his death as a killing.

Isn't that what's meant to happen? If your kid starts talking about converting to Islam and becoming a jihadist, surely parents should alert the authorities. The interesting thing is why that wasn't the example they used, giv

How convenient. Just as the UK leaves a big gap in their budget, they've just realised that all these mega wealthy companies are actually breaking a bunch of EU laws they've just thought up, and will have to pay the EU lots of mon
