UK web dev freelancer here. I think it very much depends on the kind of organisations you want to work for. I went solo in 2016 as a self-employed person and never had any trouble …

I've been waiting to make this same move but holding back because DOAP isn't quite as featureful yet, e.g. not supporting scheduled jobs, which for some reason ALL my Heroku-based …

Heroku's own redis addon[1] has a comparable free tier and while I can't be certain, I'm pretty sure it's been beefed up recently, as I just had to migrate away from RedisToGo and …

Thank you – I'm desperate to even just isolate access to a single space, to replicate what I currently have on S3, so I can multi-tenant my clients' media storage on the Spaces pla…

Thanks! While I've got you here... do you have any insight into the Spaces roadmap? I've been waiting for per-Space permissions for access keys to land to enable me to migrate a bu…

Will any sort of scheduled execution be possible with DO Functions? I've been looking for a way to add scheduled tasks (e.g. session cleanup) to DOAP apps.

I seem to have something in my eye

If you downgrade to 7.0.8 or beyond on iOS (guide here: http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/how-to-downgrade-iphone-apps/ ), you can still use the old combined app to check in AND explore …

Site seems to be down, Google cache (apparently without images, sadly) here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:JzPIOfS...

As someone dealing with my parents' shift into their "older years" and wondering about the future, I found myself quite moved by this. Thank you for sharing it.

In "Indie Game: The Movie" he mentions that their initial funding came (partly?) from a grant from the Canadian government, to promote creative development etc. What happened after…

Good point! I could thread those in already. Will look into that. Thanks again!

PS: stack is standard LAMP, right now. I intend to move the stats stuff into something like NoSQL at some point, as that's already quite heavy.

Glad you like it and thanks for taking the time to follow up with this feedback. I think the charging model needs overhauling because a vast number of people sign up on the trial a…

Thanks - you're absolutely right about this. I've forced an archive run for you, your data should show up now.

Thanks for your comment! This is a very good point. I know the pricing is only in £ on the front page, but it is visible in $ and € on the subscribe page. Pricing across continents…

Hi all, Long time reader, first time submitter! I recently launched my first proper web app, tweetvaultHQ ( http://tweetvaulthq.com/ ), which is a hosted personal archiving service…

That sounds fantastic! Is it released anywhere?

Thanks. I wonder that too! I am not a fan of recruiters at all, so I have a massive bias there I'm afraid, but it seems that all the companies I want to work for (i.e. midsize, sta…

I've toyed with this question myself during a recent job search. I loathe traditional job sites as they're usually filled with recruitment agency guff, vacuous job descriptions tha…

I too have seen this before, but I believe the point that the author was making was an observation of the hand signal's simplicity. It's an unabiguous indicator of the physical sit…

Agreed. I think it's more a case of "guys don't shop like girls". I might do a proper clothes shop maybe two or three times a year at most, but I don't actively dislike doing it. I…
