I always find it fascinating as there's also an aspect of documentation with certain street photography. If you look at stuff from the 1980's and see how much things have changed, the fashion the shops and so on, but also how cert

As a hobbyist photographer I once went on a street photography course in London. They did cover the ethics and morals of street photography, along with various techniques about what to do if challenged. UK law is a bit different than US law

I remember once as a junior developer meeting up with the head of technology to rely a project update to him. During the meeting his (desk) phone started to ring. He looked down at it and pressed the mute button for the ringer. While commen

The non-CYMK colours also reminds me of flowers. If you look at photos of flowers, or just look normally, you'll see solid/uniform colour. But if you look at infrared photos of flowers or "how bees see them", they show t

For me I feel disappointed that hydrogen fuel cells never took off. Toyota spent a fortune researching them, making them safe to avoid Hindenburg disaster type imagery. But it never really seems to have caught on. You can add a hydrogen pum

I've been using Thunderbird for years probably since it was created. I was going to write a message about wishing they would invest more in Thunderbird and fix a particular bug. As I was typing this it made me starting looking a bug I&

What we do is have the idea of a present box. When we're out shopping (well in the days when you could go out shopping). If we saw something that would look like a good gift for person X or person Y we'd buy it and put it in the p

Over the years I've worked with many developers who don't write ANY unit tests, relying only on integration tests and this has caused severe bugs that could have easily been caught by unit tests. This has cost the companies they&#

I've found what really has helped me with TDD is a continuous test runner. Different platforms have different takes on them, but in my case it's NCrunch. The fact that it's running the test as I'm typing is incredibility

Private Eye has also created one of the best legal responses that they cite now and again. In the case of Arkell v. Pressdram. If you're curious about it details are on Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pri

You also have to have somewhere to put the bike while not in use. Bike theft in London (before social distancing at least) was common.

I've been involved in projects that take it a step further. They realise that two products or code bases are similar enough that they can be duplicated, like the example you've given above. But instead of splitting the code bases,

In the UK it's generally the same too. People are always cautious and told to look out for unattended baggage for that reason.

I'd up vote you more than once if I could. Originally when Firefox was released it was the antidote to browser forced add ons that were common at the time. I have vague recollections of Netscape Navigator having whole sections of what

A thousand times this. I wish more podcasts would have transcripts. I much prefer it to listening to podcasts as I can read at my own speed, which would often be quicker than the audio.

I'm a hobbyist photographer. I still shoot film, although not with a Hasselblad. The reason I do it is that I like the aesthetic, different films also have different types of grain. Shooting film also slows me down. Each shot is going

This reminds me a story a friend of mine told me. When he was a kid he had a job delivering the local free news paper around his local town in the UK. This was at a time when local free news papers were still a thing. At Christmas time he h

I loved playing TF2 as a pyro. I used a similar technique of running around randomly jetting flames in certain places to find cloaked spies, but also flaming team-mates (as the flames wouldn't hurt them) to reveal spies in disguise.

I'd never give out expensive gear on a rental site like this. If they can't really deal with people not returning / stealing cameras, what happens if they return the camera damaged? Or scratch the lens up? Sure you get money

That makes sense. I wonder how much a slot would cost compared to regular airfreight? I'm not even sure how much the regular Amazon freight service costs compared to regular truck freight.

I wonder if Amazon will offer any up any spare freight capacity on their planes? After all if they're not using they can always sell that capacity.

I think when trying to categorise technical debt the Technical Debt Quadrant is a better tool [0]. It's already linked to in the parent article. A lot of people are shoving all technical debt in the Deliberate / Prudent category.
