It's not healthy. For some people their OCD is so bad that they cannot pass a cyclist or pedestrian, regardless of how safe or textbook the manoeuvre, without having deep anxiety t…

I too started taking photos on my phone. It's not a solution, it's a safety behaviour. The trouble with safety behaviours is that they can stop working after a while and then you'r…

I struggle a lot with OCD. I have a therapist. We have techniques and routines to try and reduce the anxiety and compulsions to some reasonable baseline. Some days are O.K, others …

I live in a block of flats with a flat mate. I can tell when she is home before she even gets to the front door as you can hear people walking in the corridor and she has a particu…

> epoll is bad Source please! I'm genuine - what is bad about it?

The Italian government are in a debt crisis not too different from the Greek government debt crisis of 2007/2008. Italy currently has a slow growing economy and needs a large numbe…

Spain and Italy currently have weakened economies caused by large unemployment and government debt. Italy in particular is at risk of defaulting on its debts (which are 131% of GDP…

I use it whenever I don't have a local shell available. For example, when using an iPhone or iPad, or if I need to test something real quick in language X and I don't have X instal…

I am a long time user of repl.it and I think it's great but I do wonder what the expected ROI is here? Call me short sighted, but It's still just a repl. Perhaps it could be sold t…

One of the issues is the federalisation of the European Union. I don't know what could be done to address that though, it's not something that can be undone I would have thought wi…

The Fiat 500 is a cheap car for the masses. It competes with the Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio and other B class hatchbacks. A Fiat 500 can be had from £10,900 to £15,000 in the U.K. w…

Except that people can still breed horses which keeps the cost of horse riding reasonable. In contrast it will no longer be legal to manufacture and sell ICE cars, and so the price…

Car manufacturers are now looking at using 48v powered turbochargers to eliminate turbo lag. I wonder if that could be seen as an electrification of the powertrain?

That's a shame because there are some remarkable cars, both modern and classic, that will no longer be able to drive on the roads if we ban all ICE. It would be the equivalent of b…

Is this sarcasm?

I work for a US organisation in London, and not finance. The average compensation for engineers is about £100,000 - some above and some below. This is on top of private medical and…

I spent a lot of time at a previous job supporting an NDB cluster and I can attest first hand that it is awful. Single node failures cause entire cluster shutdowns, the cluster the…

I have an XPS 13 which I run Debian 9 and the coil whine is unbelievable! When I open Google Maps it sounds like how one might imagine a supercomputer in a children's TV show.

This is normal for people who work in London and live in the commuter belt around it. Most of these people have a car but walk to the station, or drive to the station, and then tak…

I'm mid 20s and am putting just over $1000 a month into retirement, split between a private and workplace pension. I intend to do this for as long as possible! Disclaimer: I don't …
