    I absolutely keep my personal GitHub account separate from my work one for that reason. It's also because I like to keep my work life and personal life separate. That's why I don't…

    A little random but I thought some of you might want to know what the stores were that were next to the vending machines in the photos. Pictures: 1. Alcohol and food store 2. No st…

    I live in Kyoto and was surprised to learn that there were even 18 convenience store robberies in the year before the program started. It's really safe here so I wonder what percen…

    I liked the concept but I found the game had a couple of annoying issues. 1. The clickable area around the number needs to be a little bigger. I am using a HTC One M7 and it often …

    I was in your situation. I switched from Firefox to Chrome and thought I would never go back. Funnily enough, I went back recently (a few months ago) and have really been enjoying …

    I'll add to this post by saying that I live in Japan so, if you can't find the flavour you want, I am happy to buy it and send it to anyone. Obviously, I'd expect the person to cov…

    I see $31.99 in Australia. The interesting thing though is that the link has a referral code in it. Maybe the submitter is trying to make some money on it with some bait and switch…
