I can't fit my one plus 6 in most of my jacket pockets let alone jeans. It means I'm walking around with my phone in my hand when I go out mid work day which is super annoying. Good to see some data on how far off pocket size actu

I think this is great. It's much easier for candidates to evaluate companies and not waste their time if they know the salary range and interview process up front. It stops companies shifting these things during the process to favour s

Also using it full-time, moved over my direct debits and it's been great. Ironically we went with TSB over a challenger business bank thinking they might be more reliable... Will have to find a branch this afternoon so we can pay our t

I immediately checked the date on the article after reading the headline. Thought it was a relic from the third party client days.

Oh interesting. OK, so the comparable is London black cabs and new york yellow cabs.

You have cabs in NYC though - is it similar? In London the city controls the number of people that can operate black cabs, sets a standard tariff for fares and runs background and license checks. They can be hailed off the street (though al

If you're still interested in tech but want to move away from programming there are definitely options. A few I've seen before: - moving to a product/project management role (more talking to people and a lot less coding) - a

I'm a Web developer and I could manage my own blog site but I choose not to as it would be one more site I have to maintain. I'd rather put that time into building the product for my company or sleeping/doing something else.

At the course I did the model was the education is completely free, if you then get a job afterwards you're expected to let the bootcamp try to get a recruiter fee from the company that hires you. Or you stick around, freelance out the

I'm a 'millenial'. I also have a law degree and our lecturers were pretty hot on the importance of the right to a fair process and a fair trial above all else.

Agreed, I tend to take the number of times I'm asked a question in person by someone new as a signal that a topic is worth writing up. It's also easier to sit down and come up with a well thought through answer that you can link o

Sometimes gluing together libraries in a certain way can produce an error or behaviour that's not documented (as it's outside the scope of each individual project) as either nobody has tried to do that before or they've not w

I've been using the Github Project board functionality which looks a lot like Trello. I doubt there's an integration where you'd be able to port one to the other though.

Agreed, given the amount of damage the Hosts seem to receive each day it doesn't feel plausible that they could collect them all and do what seems to be a manual operation on each to return them to perfect condition overnight.
