You don't need to read the news every day, let alone every hour of the day. It's an addiction to the way news is currently produced. It's entirely reasonable to spend an evening a week reading up on tech news. It's not r

Does this work in jurisdictions such as London where there are extra checks that drivers must pass? I can't imagine that a food delivery service could be competitive using drivers rated for safe person delivery. Is the driver fleet for

I am happy if someone claims that something politically isn't possible in the US. (Gun control may be a good example) I can't claim otherwise, my issue is when instead of arguing that, someone claims that a measure wouldn't

The corrollary of "you need to break the rules (such as view-botting) to get ahead" is that only people who are willing to view-bot "make it", which in turn really reduces the diversity of the content which ends up in th

Get any generic in-ear earphones and thread those under a pair of 3M peltor optime III ear defenders. You can listen to even fairly quiet music and you won't hear any conversations around you.

I was excited to hear about a PDF library not based on iText but alas, this is just another iText fork, in fact the full fork chain seems to be: LibrePDF/OpenPDF forked from rtfarte/OpenPDF forked from kulatamicuda&

I doubt it's still the case but for a long time the default "Authorization" was effectively fail-open so a newbie mistake was to use that and then not customize it leaving your API vulnerable to any logged in user reading any

I feel like Netflix is only in there to make the acronym, does it really belong? It's an odd collection, the others are tech giants yet there's no microsoft and netflix thrown in. Netflix is big but it's not Apple big.
