My view is that its hard to form a generalised opinion on a entire sector. Especially when that sector is in a country with 1.3 billion people.

Mixers actually make it impossible to trace. What typically happens is you deposit an amount. Some amount similar to that minus a fee is then sent to the address or addresses of yo…

Thats where property based tests come in very useful

Yeh, just looks at the header; node activity detected Found x-powered-by: Express header in response

This graph is pointless, revenue is not the same as profit. Sure total revenue has stayed the same but that tells you nothing about profit. One the the major increases in revenue i…

Its true one should FAVOUR self documenting code. Going to the absolute and never commenting your code is obviously stupid, there will always be cases when more context and informa…

For a start there is no guts to the article. It could be summarised in one line, "Time is valuable, make your default position no"

Daft. Even if any company could just get its workers to manage their own IT needs it doesn't mean its cost efficient. The average hourly wage of IT support is often going to be les…

Firstly it seems like its time to take a break. When you disillusioned you need to stop for a bit. Perhaps do a while of "normal" work. Secondly I would advise a frank and in depth…

If I saw a big metal thing attached to the front of an ATM I would run a mile. The turning mechanism really needs to be inside the ATM.

I only partially agree. For things like hangout gmail android and reader giving support would cost so much they couldn't continue to roll out new products (given that they would ha…

Just because burning calories from exercise will never replace proper diet doesn't mean its worthless. You can easily double your weight loss rate by going to the gym a few times a…

I would go for a Jawbone Up if your using it mainly for sleep tracking. The sleep tracking on a fitbit is a bit of a hassle since you have to get it out and put it in its own separ…

You could only make an app that would explode if/when they decide to change keys

I'm not sure Amazon can give away your personal information without a court order. I think it breaks their terms and conditions and could get them in legal trouble. Unfortunate but…

Perhaps its unusual but every company I have worked for this could be sorted out with a quiet word with upper management or HR. A little disruption moving people between teams is w…

I really don't think 2.2% increase in happiness during two studies is statistically significant. Especially given the user base increased by over 300% in that time so presumably th…

Ahh. Could be me just being dumb but you might want to clarify that on the site. "you both can take it from there." is a bit ambiguous.

This seems to be pitched somewhere horrible between the fun side projects ideas site and contract work. Take out the $50 charge and it suddenly looks great $50 isn't very much for …

Me too (signing in with github)

I had some trouble getting adult content on my phone on GiffGaff. Their webpage fell over took several weeks and three support tickets to get it fixed. To their credit though when …

Perhaps I'm being nieve but it seems like very bad coding when front end exploits can lead to cash being stolen. I would expect the bare minimum of a message bus or some other sepa…

British Telecom do extensivly

Completely agree with you on the bad flash and links point. Not sure I agree with you on the webapps points though. Would have been nice to have some depth on why you feel PushStat…
