I have the same car, it does this too. As have most if not all of my other cars I've owned. I've always put it down to the fact there is no cooling from the forward motion of the car passing air towards the radiators so the engine

Armando Iannuccis back catalogue is so vast. He's done so so much stuff over the last 30 odd years and so much of it is top tier. Yet few people would recognise the name. He's talented on so many levels. If anyone hasn't I&#x

RBS was nationalised in the UK in 2008. It's still doing fine.

I had SE k800i in 2006. It had a Xenon flash and the photos it took we not surpassed by smartphones for a surprisingly long time, especially at night.

Worked with someone who had a 7650. Watching what that could do blew me away at the time. First phone I saw that genuinely acted like a PC in your pocket. Bought a 6600 as soon as it was released and loved it. You could probably make an int

Eve solved it perfectly. The Eve universe is dangerous. By undocking you consent to PvP, don't fly what you can't afford to lose. The game treats you like an adult that can accept risk and thus the rewards from playing the game ar

One of my friends had a later NETMD and I remember that only taking seconds to convert and copy MP3s to disk. The software was horrible though.

Thinking about it maybe I do remember some marketing about it being a cassette replacement. A quick Google brought up this, which is assume is a Sony advert. https://mobile.twitter.com/doctorow/status/1258600044711

The model I had allowed for only 1 digital copy, after that generation it had to be analogue before another digital copy could be made.

I had one of the later models that had LP features, so up to 4x the music on a disc at a lower quality. It was also a recorder, which was so handy, and something no iPod ever offered. Many of my friends had players, 1 even had an in car pla

Nice. This would likely solve a huge chunk of push back against JIRA.

Neither did I say "everybody played through it multiple times". I stated "for me".

A solid article. I'd disagree with the "single play through" and "pointless starting weapons" comments though. For me it was multiple play throughs learning about what worked and what didn't. This for me was ac

I'm a fan of "Master is production" , so as soon as a commit is merged into Master it's deployed immediately. That way everyone always has access to what exactly is in production and helps enforce the mindset that anythi

Anecdotally, myself and nearly all my friends just use Strava phone app to record the rides. For me the benefits of using an external device are essentially zero, battery used to be an issue on long rides but even this now seems to have bee

I think the point of the article is that by producing good quality code , that is delivering value in the mid/long term.

This makes sense, but -honestly- how often do you take the time to fix the debt? Or are you pushed for the next feature?

As far as I know, the top spec Type R DC5 Integra was a K20 (same as the EP3 Civic Type R) which is 8400. The older DC2 Integra Type R was 8700rpm. I forget the engine.

You may have heard it before, but I would recommend using Docker over faffing about trying to install PHP etc on the host. For Laravel look into https://laradock.io/ . Very simple to get a full environment setup. Looking in

I too use it daily on multiple machines (albeit Windows Pro with Hyper-V) and it's changed my day to day dev work dramatically. Combined with Docker there is no reason for me to even look at MacOS or running Linux natively (which I hav

Big fan of the XPS 13. I bought the developer Linux edition first, which had a 1080p (boo!) screen and matte finish (yeah!). It had an issue where the trackpad would just intermittently stop working or the cursor would just zoom around the

From your example you came across a nested problem with the safety regulations. What about building something trying to ease the pain and streamline getting the required permits to cook domestically?

I used Sails extensively in multiple projects for a few years. This was coming from a lot of Symfony projects, and I'd hoped Sails was going to offer similar, but in NodeJS. I'd agree with OP mostly. Documentation was sparse once

The trackpad has moments where it just doesn't seem to want to work correctly for certain complex movements like drag and drop. I'm months in with this stupid thing and I still can't get it to reliable draw a box around a bun

34MB! One feature I loved in Workbench was the RAM disk. I only had 2MB so was a little limited what I could do with it, but "installing" simple apps or games into RAM they were so quick!

It felt like it was so "feature complete" even around 1990. Add a web browser (and networking )and run it on a modern spec machine and I'm sure it would be perfectly usable.

It took me until around 1995 to realise how great and ahead of its time Workbench was. Win95 still felt like it was behind Workbench 3 (even 2.0) in so many ways.

From a gaming point of view Doom, really hit the Amiga hard. Gloom and Alien Breed 3D were poor attempts at replicating Doom (at least on standard Amiga hardware). This was at a time when it seemed every other game release was a Doom clone
