In the UK employers have to provide eye test vouchers for employees who use screen display equipment. I keep thinking that if the government knew anything about dev environments th…

Regarding the policy being set at national level - I've seen mention of the Western Cape seceding - how realistic was that, and has this had any effect on that? I'm ex Durban/Johan…

Natwest is RBS - there is no point interacting with them - useless. Same with many UK household names, once they reach a certain size you are not a person and what's in your head i…

Exactly, and "...the 1% took 85% of income growth and the situation has only worsened since. During that time, however, homicide rates showed nearly the opposite pattern". This is …

UK pushing hard on the multiculturalism agenda yet haven't even managed to unify Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. More variables - biting off more than they can chew.

"It's just as illegal to threaten someone with murder on the internet as it is on a street corner" -- this interests me. On a street corner the face-to-face threat is far more real…

I have an HTC bootlooped by an OTA, hence my now having a OnePlus3. Getting fed up with all this nonsense. Seems to me the android ecosystem is just too wild west, especially for s…

I was thinking something related this morning, that one of the reasons uptime is important to google, apart from the usual reasons, is because if they were switched off for a day p…

For me it's the jarring noise. A coffeeshop tends to have consistent levels of muddied noise, whereas the office might be quiet and then suddenly a clear, loud voice starts, and an…

And still people make excuses to use Facebook.

Who's making a bitter comment?

Indisputably? I'd also bet you're not European, but rather a mischievous remoaner. Many people voted leave because of numbers, not languages. I didn't vote, enjoying the entertainm…

Yes, the first two lines of the front page: "Darcs is a free and open source, cross-platform version control system, like git, mercurial or svn but with a very different approach"

I thought there might be some comments on darcs in here. I've only just started learning OCaml so haven't yet used darcs, but am looking forward to trying it out.

Along with the kiddie play-school design. Some creepy psych things going on there.

If Carnot efficiency is so well known that numerous hn'ers mention it, how likely is it that a team of alphabet people wouldn't be aware of it?

I like the idea of visualising the decisions. Break down an issue into its constituent parts, then show all the graphs and see-saws - if you vote x, then it a, b, c will change lik…

Is Elixir being used exclusively for web development? If not, what else are people using it for?

I've described Go programs as often looking like a listing of things that could go wrong.

Any suggestions for which are the least biased news source?

At my last job I probably did 20 hours of work a week due to the awful environment. I started burning out from frustration. I'm not convinced the number of hours is as important as…

Or, alternatively, last night my (untampered) phone got bricked by an ota update.

On a related note, I've recently had two UK banks request more personal documents from me, and a video, for anti-fraud or anti-laundering, blah, blah reasons. When, not if, they ge…

That's fantastic. Not him dying, but you're not likely to hear a story like that these days.
