Revenue vs user satisfaction isn't entirely a binary choice though. If Monzo offer a feature which costs them a lot but offers user's some convenience, it's a bit of a balancing ac…

Tried this in London for bicycle routes and it's completely broken: https://imgur.com/a/mF4CU43 .

Yes, I don't really understand the controversy either. I work with Python a lot in my day job, and I am quite frustrated with how slowly the language moves. For a long time, it see…

That's not an accurate summary of assignment expressions. Assignment expressions perform the assignment and also return the value of the assignment. So you can assign and test a co…

I agree. I have only just heard of this product, but can immediately see it would be extremely useful to me. Sadly, I can say 100% that I can not justify this kind of spend on a si…
