Feels incredibly strange that anyone can publicly view all these office layouts, down to very specific room/corridor/stair layouts, occupancy status, of random private office and u…

The fact it seems to be related to login reminds me of the Tom Scott doomsday fictional lecture which I would link to but you know...

Why is it any more of an issue in software engineering than, say, a singer or actor publicly supporting a cause?

GDS hosts a CF instance called PaaS (Platform as a Service) which hosts web applications on *.cloudapps.digital but the majority of the actual GOV.UK estate is hosted in AWS, as is…

Under fairly draconian UK law where this is based, probably not: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/18/contents

Since surprisingly nobody has mentioned it in the comments here yet, we have a similar scheme in place in London, and have done for quite some time. It's only for the most central/…

Not sure if it's the same client, but the Skye for Business client is also just as bad. I used to work on a virtualised Windows machine (work mandated) and the only usable accessib…

Is there a clear definition between airfield and airport? Or rather, is there a distinction between places you can land a plane vs places an individual can buy a ticket to fly with…

With the ever increasing price of BTC you could even end up inadvertently making a small profit on the transaction. That being said, with the volatility of it you could also lose a…

As with any automated transport discussion, there's the question of liability. If a pilot is at fault, there's an obvious liability on them. People have an intrinsic trust of a hum…

I really wish Google AMP didn't overrule the Chrome android "force enable pinch to zoom" from an accessibility standpoint.

> Should a user be able to purposefully block parts of a page? I have yet to see a compelling/coherent argument for why they shouldn't. As a partially sighted user myself, I find i…

I have a visual impairment and one of the things I love about Chrome on Android is the ability to override sites blocking pinch to zoom (i.e. "force enable pinch to zoom"). AMP, al…

Does anyone else get the impression that this might have just been an intern project* or similar? Seems very odd for a seemingly minor iterative update to pop up out of nowhere aft…

I had a very similar experience - I'm also quite fair due to Albinism which I think raised far more attention than the average white person over there! I had many people wanting to…

The recent press about this is incredulous. Research and development aren't free. It costs $0 to acquire a software executable - so it should be free by this logic!

Always looking for a tool to do this, your solution looks really elegant and handy - love the report page. What do you plan to do with the "recommendations" feature?

Whilst I am a huge advocate of advancing research in AI, I think we are a very long way off it being safely feasible in flight. Flight is a process so insanely complex and suscepti…

This raises an interesting question - did Google intend to trick not only consumers, but also shareholders? As the article indicates, announcing a product triggers a kneejerk react…

Somewhat off-topic anecdote on this: my father in law designed a very rough draft of "blueprints" for his parents new house in rural China (Xinjiang) using MS Paint, local labourer…

Whilst this is a great idea which I look forward to watching progress, Sirius doesn't seem like the best name for this. It's very close to an existing industry product in the same …

This is a tremendously reassuring article for someone still in University wanting to build a company. There's always the question in the back of my mind "should I start now or get …

Do you ever get airlock issues where the glass slides around too much? Have been considering a glass layer on a desk project for a while but I'm concerned one wrong move and it cou…

This is really good fun except it's incredibly difficult to read the navigation beacon names, even with zoom it is just very pixilated.
