    If/while you still can, you might as well just walk (or take a bus, they're great)! London is a beautiful city, with myriad hidden wonders that you just don't find unless you're on…

    You're looking at roughly twice the cost, usually more if it's late on a Friday/Saturday night. I used to regularly travel from Zone 1 to just inside the M25 to the West of London …

    I'd hate to fall foul of confirmation bias here, but as someone who regularly drives in London, some of the worst driving I've witnessed has been by Addison Lee cabs.

    100% agree on this. Whenever I've started to feel the onset of burnout, it's been at times when I felt I couldn't "just leave" at 5.30, for some misplaced sense of responsibility. …

    I think you're operating under a false assumption that everyone in this discussion gains their sense of being appreciated directly from their income. I strongly disagree with this …

    So you're judging the quality of an iOS app on how well-optimised the images on its website are? This is not a website you're going to visit regularly, or probably even more than o…

    This is great fun to play around with - if I'm not careful I'm gonna get completely distracted from doing any work today... Just to chime in on others' comments, the knobs are pret…

    It's done via the 'z-index' CSS property [0]. Essentially, the higher the z-index, the higher the priority of the element; a higher z-index will appear in front of a lower z-index.…

    If you're building isomorphic code for the browser using webpack, you can quite happily chunk certain modules into separate bundles which will be loaded asynchronously when needed.…

    Correct link: http://mrmrs.io/profile/ So, when I fixed the link, it shows my name, my profile picture, and then my repos three times. "Better" might not be the word for this. How …

    Looks cool! You should probably have a more obvious signup link on the login/landing page - it took me a few moments to work out how. I'm also getting lots of little 'Failed to fet…

    (Disclaimer: I work at Lens.) We do have a way to go in terms of optimising the site, but we are currently only open to a small number of alpha users. I can safely say that by the …
