I love this. Just cancelled a trip to Austria. At least I can drive the K pass now. Going off road, rolling and then carrying on is a really nice touch. It has RV There Yet vibes.

So that's either Hotel California by The Eagles, or that time when I tried Second Life and got stuck between the wall and the spiral staircase in the training level. I'm probably s…

There's a search function hidden near the help menu. That was handy whenever I lost a menu item, which was frequently. I do like it now it's set up and it accurately reports the ba…

I love this. I hope you don't get cease and desisted by MS for mentioning PowerPoint.

I bought a subsidised Windows EeePC 901 and stuck Ubuntu Netbook Remix on it. Much more useable. Windows was laughably bad. It limited the number of open applications! There was al…

The city that never plays itself, a classic episode

And Scotch eggs

Possibly not. Buying yourself out of employment and commercial rental contracts can give rise to costs. In the UK, statutory redundancy pay, after 2 years of service, is 1 week of …

You could also blame the constant negative press covfefe

Could you adjust the refresh frequency based on your usage patterns? So refreshing less frequently outside your main transit times. An extension of your current pause at night.

Impressive seeing as last week we heard that AI had killed SAAS.

Sounds like you're describing the uncanny valley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

I'd argue it's more malleable than a skyscraper. How rapidly has business software changed since COVID? Yet how many skyscrapers remain partially unoccupied in big cities like Lond…

Twilio's Flex isn't far off this concept. For building simple voice and text message applications, it does quite a lot out of the box. It's their full telephony stack but presented…

That looks significantly more like a long-term energy strategy than grabbing oil from Venezuela and Greenland.

Only there is no forever when you're talking about a finite resource, like fossil fuels.

That's brilliant insight, thank you. I enjoyed reading Steve's extensive read me. Also I'm planning a trip to Cambridge so I've bookmarked one of the pubs for a visit.

Excellent. Found me three other stars and one to that I knew from before but hadn't started. Nice!

I'd like more tries to pick out the notes when pecking at the on-screen keyboard. I don't need to hear the pattern again, I need to learn where the note pitches are on the keyboard…

Not quite true. This pub's changed hands now but it was possible to pay in bitcoin for several years. https://www.wired.com/story/london-bitcoin-pub/

I can't see how half of the icon choices made in the article would pass internal testing, let alone actual user testing. Maybe stakeholders were calling the shots and everyone was …

Lovely project and a really great idea. Have you come across soft tooling for injection moulding? It's a lower cost, short run approach using much less durable moulds from various …

Ahh, I get it now. Maybe you can improve the wording around this to make it less suggestive that your value proposition is I can change one cell when it fails. That's not safe. The…

I'm confused why your value proposition is that you can replace individual cells but your website also says it's recommended to replace all cells at once. Isn't that the same as th…

We're a Ruby shop and we have pretty much zero commented code. Ruby's intended to be readable enough not to need them and when we do need them, it's a sure sign we need some refact…
