I finish my current role on Friday, and start a new one next Monday. The difference is pretty much 20%. On why I took it: * The money is better * It has more potential for fulfillm…

My primary point was that Hong Kong is not directly comparable to cities in China. I also readily say "Hong Kong is not China". Although, as time goes on, the truth of that stateme…

I need to learn the tooling around anki. I was trying to edit the full hsk1-6 flashcard set to just show hsk5. But I didn't manage to find the right tools. Tried to manually change…

I'm surprised about this. I get that there can be circulating cells, but the probability of them successfully metastasising in the early stages is very low. Normally it's only late…

There already is a YouTube Kids that has a similar set of features. https://www.youtube.com/yt/kids/

"non-negligible" doesn't sound very precise. You mean "non-empty but finite"? "There exists a member of the Committee that is not active"

"big nose is from England, he's my son's good friend"

Sure. That's my joke. You'd obfuscate the content, but to be practical you'd still have to know what it said. Hence my comment.

I believe conduit is going to support HTTP1.1 by the time it's done. The http2 and grpc focus was just to get the alpha release out there.

A friend of mine writes and edits ICO whitepapers. He's very skilled and gets paid pretty well for those skills.

This is only useful if the binding vote is to decide whether to accept the deal or revert Article 50.

I've not seen anyone advertise at 100k. But I had a profile on Hired.com open for ~ a week, and all the companies who I normally see advertising 60-80 offered me 100. That's about …

It's worth noting that GBP lost ~20% of its value last year (although it retained some value recently) And that companies advertising for 80k will possibly stretch to 100k for the …

Apologies for the appalling Mathmo joke, but... * What's yellow and equivalent to the Axiom of Choice? * Zorn's Lemon

Sad one to nitpick, but Jim died in 2014. So ~3.5 years ago. Had the pleasure of meeting him in Singapore in 2013. Still so much great code of his we use all the time.
