In the UK employers have to provide eye test vouchers for employees who use screen display equipment. I keep thinking that if the government knew anything about dev environments they'd be providing us with free hearing tests instead.

Regarding the policy being set at national level - I've seen mention of the Western Cape seceding - how realistic was that, and has this had any effect on that? I'm ex Durban/Johannesburg, abandoned the rainbow nation 20 or

Natwest is RBS - there is no point interacting with them - useless. Same with many UK household names, once they reach a certain size you are not a person and what's in your head is of no interest to anyone.

Exactly, and "...the 1% took 85% of income growth and the situation has only worsened since. During that time, however, homicide rates showed nearly the opposite pattern". This is dishonest Guardian agenda. Even before getting t

UK pushing hard on the multiculturalism agenda yet haven't even managed to unify Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. More variables - biting off more than they can chew.

"It's just as illegal to threaten someone with murder on the internet as it is on a street corner" -- this interests me. On a street corner the face-to-face threat is far more real and the threatened outcome more likely than

I have an HTC bootlooped by an OTA, hence my now having a OnePlus3. Getting fed up with all this nonsense. Seems to me the android ecosystem is just too wild west, especially for such an important device, and may now have to head to apple

I was thinking something related this morning, that one of the reasons uptime is important to google, apart from the usual reasons, is because if they were switched off for a day people would realise the extent to which they have so many of

For me it's the jarring noise. A coffeeshop tends to have consistent levels of muddied noise, whereas the office might be quiet and then suddenly a clear, loud voice starts, and another couple of clear, loud voices arrive - jarring.

Yes, the first two lines of the front page: "Darcs is a free and open source, cross-platform version control system, like git, mercurial or svn but with a very different approach"

I thought there might be some comments on darcs in here. I've only just started learning OCaml so haven't yet used darcs, but am looking forward to trying it out.

Along with the kiddie play-school design. Some creepy psych things going on there.

If Carnot efficiency is so well known that numerous hn'ers mention it, how likely is it that a team of alphabet people wouldn't be aware of it?

I like the idea of visualising the decisions. Break down an issue into its constituent parts, then show all the graphs and see-saws - if you vote x, then it a, b, c will change like this, and l,m,n will change like this.

Is Elixir being used exclusively for web development? If not, what else are people using it for?

At my last job I probably did 20 hours of work a week due to the awful environment. I started burning out from frustration. I'm not convinced the number of hours is as important as the suitability of the environment.

On a related note, I've recently had two UK banks request more personal documents from me, and a video, for anti-fraud or anti-laundering, blah, blah reasons. When, not if, they get hacked, the intruders will have even greater ability

Employee experience. The biggest problem at the company I recently left was inexperience. The company thought they could hire cheap and simply cross train and up-skill everyone. A FTSE 100 company. Eg a dev manager was a js dev now manag

What I found recently of someone who switched from another career to programming is not that they struggled with programming so much but that they struggled with the environment. I had the misfortune of working with an ex-lawyer, two years

Bezos will then start putting pressure on farmers. I don't know how these things work in the states, but the dairy industry would be the prime example in the UK.

I can't stand these subway maps. I carry a copy of the geographic tube map on my phone. I want to relate the locations to reality, and these subway maps fail to do that. I could possibly go along with a geographic map that changed s
