I like to really understand what is going on under the hood. If I don't quite understand how something works I like to read the source code. Also sometimes a plugin doesn't quite do exactly what I want, or is so large and complex

For me, it is quite a shallow reason. I just don't enjoy developing in PHP. Wordpress is amazing at what it does, but I always dread having to touch it. There is nothing else that gets close to it (that I have found) in terms of ease o

So I would like to know what the results would be if you tested say, British people. Would they typically come up as 100% British, or would they also be a similar mix? In which case for an American to come up as 50% British it wouldn't

I think it would depend on how much time you are willing to put in and how far you want to go. If you are primarily a back end developer and you just want to quickly throw down a few prototype pages. If you will never really need more than

Is it just my ignorance - or is this all much simpler in the UK? I think we just have Sole Trade -> Private Limited -> Public Limited and not much other variation. Generally anyone starting up will have the choice between Sole Trade (

Devils advocate here, it sounds more like your problem was constantly moving to another side project before completing the last. If you had spent all that time on a single project, how far would it have gone?

Hmm... I am running a couple of ubuntu servers on OVH. Neither have any ssh keys for the root user. I am also running Docker on one of them just fine.

That is very interesting. I do have Emacs making some sort of backup, but have never managed to get it to work reliably. I'll follow those instructions.

Result! git fsck --unreachable has pulled up the stray commit. There it all is, right in front of me. Incredible! Thanks.

(Not off-topic for me. :-)) I will have a play with all this. Now that I have my source being backed up to zfs I can be a bit more comfortable with experimenting with new workflows. Thanks

I got into trouble at one stage mixing branching with rebasing. This really put me off branching. Creating a new branch to perform the merge is a stroke of genius - thanks! I will be doing that right away.

Seriously? Wow! I will try that first thing tomorrow. Thanks.

I actually have no idea. I had a lot of unchecked work - about a weeks worth. (I know, I should not have let it go that far.. it was just one of those tasks that just seemed to get bigger and bigger.) It was time to check in, so I went thro

This works really well for us. To load up our web server takes a while due to having to load up caches etc.. so we tend to do all that once, dump the image and deploy it - cache already primed. It had an even bigger advantage for me today.

This is pretty exciting. I'm still only about halfway through the book, but I am really enjoying the language. Learning it has been a real brain melter (in a good way) so far. Am looking forward to finishing the book. I do appreciate h

Apress [1] are doing ebooks for £9.99 and print books for £12.50. Picked up a copy of Practical Common Lisp for £12.50. Even second hand these are going on Amazon for £25, and lord knows I've been through that book online enough times

Rainer Joswig is similarly legendary for Common Lisp. I once thought a good way to really learn the language would be to answer some Stack Overflow questions. Not once have I managed to get to a question that he hasn't already answered

Interesting. I have an app that most likely needs updating, but I just haven't got round to it. It does provide me with some pocket money so I wouldn't like it to be removed. Did you get some warnings from Apple before they were w

Thinkpad X61. Solidly built. Compact. Linux runs out of the box. Currently running Fedora. I honestly never max out the 2 gb memory available - it can take 4gb, but I haven't had the need to upgrade yet. I did need to put an SSD in it.

It looks like they have also removed the § key. How am I going to type § now?

I would say a good enough measure would be down to accidents. With a large enough dataset I am sure there would be a strong correlation between driving quality and accidents. In that regard the desires of the insurance companies are largely

I'd wager that Lewis Hamilton driving at speed would exhibit very different driving behaviour than I would. With enough data we wouldn't need to just rely on measuring speed. Reaction times, steering behaviour and lots of other dr

I guess every one is different. I would happily take a 100% size increase if it meant I could upgrade and fix it myself.
