    It would prove tricky to do home deliveries at night when everyone's asleep...

    How do you go about doing such a thing? My Nexus 9 could do with a new lease of life...

    Couldn't that be an opportunity though? Are you more likely to notice 'the new thing' from Atlassian, or when someone says "Woah, have you seen how much they've improved HipChat?"

    Ha - Sorry if I sounded confrontational... I was actually agreeing with you. As it happens, another great place to learn these skills is by volunteering with youth military cadet f…

    I got the impression that he was aware of it, but had no reason to remember the specifics of it. He knew it sounded about right, which is what I'd expect from a CEO months (or year…

    Good news - The next Apple Watch will be thinner! Oh, you didn't ask for it to be thinner?

    Do you never worry about missing a family emergency call? Like an accident or death or similar? I don't accept general calls overnight, but I'd hate to miss the call.

    The other comments don't mention this, but it's also a new UK bank. They're going through the official approval process right now to be able to offer current accounts, overdrafts a…

    Can't help but notice that the new backup monitoring tool suggests that the latest PGSQL backup is almost six days old... Is that correct? http://monitor.gitlab.net/dashboard/db/ba…

    Presumably this tool is not for Windows sysadmins, it's for Linux/Unix sysadmins who also have to manage some Windows machines...

    I'd suggest you have a long, detailed, open and honest conversation with this person about the future of your company and your working relationship. Part of being a responsible co-…

    I've had no problems with USB-C on my Nexus 5x, personally. Certainly 100x better than Micro USB. I don't think as a connector it has the polish of the lightning adapter, but I als…

    Docker ID: dancryer I'd love to test this out as a replacement for the Vagrant + VirtualBox set up we use currently to manage the development of PHPCI. :) Thanks!

    I really love the branch-level access control on Bitbucket. Being able to say that developers A,B,C have access to the repo, but only A can push to master, is incredibly useful.

    There's a big part of it that is based on the incorrect assumption that if someone is in the office 9-5, they are working 9-5. That and the ability to directly monitor people, inte…

    Thanks dalke, that's really interesting... I can only imagine the number of heated arguments this has caused internally for Amazon!
