I am 38 and British and use 24hr clocks exclusively. This is also very common on the continent - the French nearly always use 24hr time for everything

If I'm deep in coding flow the last thing I'm going to do is immediately jump on to someone else's PR. Half a day to a day sounds about right from when the PR is submitted to actually getting the green light

Web Mercator is the standard projection used on the web, if you think the we should use a different projection on the web then that's a completely separate argument

Stephen Fry made the same remarks in a Q&A session some years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k2AbqTBxao As a Brit I can't agree more with both, I find American humour so hard to relate to but I guess it&#x27

There are apps but you should not use them as they are dangerously inaccurate. Mushroom identification requires numerous different factors that a simple photograph would not be sufficient for a positive id.

Great write-up. If you haven't seen it yet I'd highly recommend watching the entire YouTube series (part 6 is linked at the end). Some fantastic engineering!

As they rightly should! I voted remain and would do so again in a heartbeat but if you have an exclusive members only club what use is it if leaving has no consequences? The UK most certainly should be punished if it leaves the EU. Otherwis

I have a few "Mother of Thousands" [0] which started out as a single plant that I was gifted but it grew so rapidly that I now have about 6 pots of them. They produce tiny little baby plants on the edges of each leaf which then dr

I've used coconutBattery to check the health of the battery in my 6s and it reports the number of charge cycles and the maximum capacity. Is this data stored in the battery or the phone? Does replacing the battery reset the cycles coun

An old school Casio is a great choice. I've had a F91W for ages and the battery last years. Cheap too. https://www.amazon.com/Casio-F91W-1-Classic-Resin-Digital/dp... It has an hourly beep and an alarm but no remi
