No target group is “banned”. This is a narrative that exists in peoples minds only. What the users of this app really want, is somewhere they can write their complaints, ie vent th…

Totally agree. I don’t understand why the author couldn’t just say that Drupal is for a different use case. Rather than label a whole framework, the people who build it, work with …

> PHP gets you job offers customizing Drupal and Wordpress websites I get that there's a lot of legacy PHP sites, that you could end up finding yourself working on. But there are s…

That’s what contactless cards do now, there’s a PAYG cap. When you read about it doesn’t really sound that complex (not sure if it needed a clever bloke with an algorithm, but then…

Two I've found interesting... Tokyo: https://minitokyo3d.com/ India (not a subway, but the scale here makes it fascinating): https://railradar.railyatri.in/ I haven't found one for…

The rules were somewhat ambiguous, which allowed him to break them (on the "childcare exception"). But his account of his actions is so untruthful. It is obvious to most that being…

Even if it wasn't a problem (which it was, at the time he did it). It's his covering up of his actions + colleagues backing him up, which is the real issue here. He's so blatantly …

Ocado also have the “eco delivery” feature, where you can pick a delivery slot when (I presume) the driver will be making a similar delivery nearby. It’s not a huge thing, but show…

Amazon pretty much sets the standard for this. They're the biggest ecommerce home delivery company, and yet have absolutely nothing in the way of reducing waste, and give the custo…

Yeah looking at her Google timeline maps that she posted, when she went to the "south bank" she actually walked around Waterloo station. A walk along the actual south bank (of the …

She got a train from Manchester to London. I'm surprised that the price of this ticket wasn't mentioned (when the £4.90 one in London was). Manchester to London can typically cost …

Isn't the article's main concern the conflict of interest when polling companies release both public and private polls? They have an incentive to release inaccurate results to the …

No mention here about Gutenberg's lack of support for accessibility standards. They pretty much went full steam ahead and left the accessibility team behind. See: https://rianrietv…

Little trick that I do when travelling as a couple: Get one randomly allocated seat, and then pay for the other one next to it (or as close by as possible).

I do understand what you're saying, but I would say labour are representing an alternative government. One that would not have got us into the mess that we are currently in. One th…

I'd say this is more of a strategy than a plan. It's all pretty vague. It was the tories who called the referendum, and the tories who are currently dealing with Brexit. It's not L…

"The government has already set out how they want Brexit to work" Have they? I'd really like to see this.

They're splitting the charing cross branch to run to Battersea Power station, while the bank branch will run to Morden. Kind of how it currently works (Charing Cross trains almost …

Nationalism, xenophobia, and even fascism seems to be on the rise in Sweden - as it is in the rest of Europe. (I'm basing this solely on media coverage and personal observation.) P…

There's a much bigger issue, the default iPhone settings has "Send as SMS" off, this means that if a failed iMessage attempt occurs, it will just give up (rather than sending by SM…

The history of public key encryption, and of encryption in general is covered pretty well in this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Code-Book-History-Code-breaking/...

I've had plenty of incidents where I've had to direct a black cab driver to my destination (all of which were within zone 2 in London). I assume they weren't authorised cabbies and…
