Never heard of it, and whoever Glyn Hughes is, is talking poppycock, balderdash, utter claptrap, absolute piffle when he states, “Everybody in England was brought up believing in brown Windsor soup,” says Glyn Hughes, author of The Lost Foo

I must be missing something - I don't find Rubymine or Pycharm (or Webstorm) to possess anything that IntelliJ doesn't. I use Goland on the side, fine, but the other three seem fully-incorporated into IntelliJ. What am I missing?

Artificial intelligence is no match for Real stupidity. This sort of nonsense actually makes me feel better that we're not moving to a world where humans will be replaced because no technology can replace the human drive to control and

Don't make any drastic changes - Reduce the amount you drink by keeping track of it with an app or something (I use drinkless) and maybe try drinks like bitter shandy or lager shandy so you still have the same volume to drink and can p

This is pretty much why we need philosophy (include religion in there if you like) - as they say, science shows us the world as it is, but philosophy lets us imagine the world as we should like it to be - so that technology can help us get

This is a tad late to acknowledge. I was casually pursuing a story on the world water crisis in 2009/10 and there was already a massive load of literature on the subject, including much on California and Colorado, with Peter Gleick alr

Sounds like it's game over for El Presidente soon - technology aside, the entire strategy is sketchy as hell, to my knowledge. Everything around Chivo appears to be classified, including who holds the Bitcoin. Nobody in financial regul

I see what you mean, five years ago there were still affordable three-bed flats in SW1P and W2, but those days are over.

I stayed at my ex's flat in W2 around twenty years ago, the estate was selling 2-beds for 240K then - are you suggesting those flats are over £1M?? I dare not look at prices. Edit: Reader, he looked at the prices Found almost identical

We lived in NW1, W1H and SW1 for fifteen years and it was totally doable with two earners even starting on a perm salary of 35K, and as the income increased we stayed, but within three years of kids arriving, it was clear that we needed to

I was expecting financial advice in the post but there wasn't any. There wasn't much of any substance either, but it sounds like the OP is still young and has some interesting plans to follow-through with.

I think we can safely say that the web ten years later is a lot more serious and grown-up, but just as slow and a lot less fun. Less playful. And hidden malware, dark patterns, tracking and fingerprinting are all going strong.
