‘ipfs add’ pins the file by default, not sure if that’s recent behaviour though.

PostGIS would get you up and running, but is not particularly quick unless you have a budget and the knowledge to tune it. It is however probably the most mature, and will be able …

The BBC is pro government. It was pro Labour for many years recently. It’s still fairly unbiased compared to most sources.

Debunked how? It seems the consensus is that it’s just as secure as using a username and password and allowing the user to reset via email. It’s been discussed here a few times.

And 30 minutes is acceptable...?

Hi, Whats the contact email?

Interesting, can you elaborate? Which platform/APIs do you use? What language do you program in? Where do you get back testing data from? Thanks!

...? Nearly half a dozen? So five? In four years. It's still interesting, and I don't suppose many people are searching for it so what's the issue with it being posted again?

Cheque writing software, written in COBOL. Got the work through a family friend, it's his business. I had to learn COBOL (managed through Visual Studio these days thank god) and ha…

This is interesting for me. Assume you're scraping those other sites (coworker etc) for their space data, and making it searchable in your app. Have you had any issues with copyrig…

What's interesting about this is that Cloudfare seem to duck a big chunk of the flak - everyone immediately suspects their own server, as cloudfare gives a pretty generic error pag…

I've always thought that music recommendation systems should look at the actual music, and not as much at the surrounding meta-data. What kind of instruments are used? What key is …

Canned and cartoned(!) coffee is all over the place now in the UK. Starbucks make a lot of it, and there seems to be quite a few smaller brands popping up. It's all full of sugar t…

That's brilliant. The code in the web server is surprisingly readable. I like the 'O RLY?' to start an if/else

Thanks. I think perhaps the article should link to some context...

BBC argyle says that was calculated at 449USD per Bitcoin, so assuming nearly 1Billion USD or thereabouts when they were at their peak

I usually pack up for the day when that happens.

Thanks! I will look seriously at this. My next business will definitely not be within the clutches of HM's finest.

Yes please, where can I sign up? Seriously though, I live in Berkshire, and am looking for decent places to move to. The grass is definitely always greener! :) I have even begun to…

It seems to be the last resort to make money if you haven't got a real business. Not everything has to be a business though. Quora (in my mind, at least) would be good in a distrib…

It costs a lot less, runs smoother, and gives better service. At least that's the idea. Whether it works or not in practice is for another day.

Fortunately in the UK you don't pay capital gains tax on the property you live in. You pay it on your second property I believe, but only if you sell, and only if it is a second pr…

Well that would be crap :( However, I did vote Blue, and I agree with the principal of small Government and that more should be privatised. Can't have my cake and eat it I suppose.…

Here are some more datasets provided by HM's Government, there are a lot of interesting sets: https://data.gov.uk/data/search
