They even named the building which houses the department of computing after him!

In other words, "they usually have a person on them".

If/while you still can, you might as well just walk (or take a bus, they're great)! London is a beautiful city, with myriad hidden wonders that you just don't find unless you're on foot.

I've found myself in countless situations where the walk is maybe 10-15 mins longer than any available public transport (Uber included), so I've saved myself the money and taken a hit on a little bit of time.

You're looking at roughly twice the cost, usually more if it's late on a Friday/Saturday night. I used to regularly travel from Zone 1 to just inside the M25 to the West of London ─ an Uber costs ~£40, whereas I've paid between £80 and £120 for other private hires for similar journeys.

I'd hate to fall foul of confirmation bias here, but as someone who regularly drives in London, some of the worst driving I've witnessed has been by Addison Lee cabs.

A colleague and I spent a couple of days setting up high-fidelity webpage->PDF rendering, and by far the best results were got with SlimerJS and xvfb.

100% agree on this. Whenever I've started to feel the onset of burnout, it's been at times when I felt I couldn't "just leave" at 5.30, for some misplaced sense of responsibility. It's that looming sense of 'you're here until it's done' that fills me (and presumably other developers) with dread.

I think you're operating under a false assumption that everyone in this discussion gains their sense of being appreciated directly from their income.

I strongly disagree with this viewpoint - you can throw as much money as you want at someone, and it might stop them complaining for a bit, but it's not fixing the problem. You can't stop arterial bleeding by wrapping more bandages around the wound.

Hug of death, methinks.

So you're judging the quality of an iOS app on how well-optimised the images on its website are?

This is not a website you're going to visit regularly, or probably even more than once (except to show all your friends how badly optimised this image is).

Based on this logic, I probably shouldn't have bought the car I have now, because the brochure was printed on really thick paper.

This is great fun to play around with - if I'm not careful I'm gonna get completely distracted from doing any work today...

Just to chime in on others' comments, the knobs are pretty unpleasant to use, even with a mouse. I think though, Ableton has spoiled me with regards to knob/slider UX.

Awesome work!

It's done via the 'z-index' CSS property [0]. Essentially, the higher the z-index, the higher the priority of the element; a higher z-index will appear in front of a lower z-index.

If you're building isomorphic code for the browser using webpack, you can quite happily chunk certain modules into separate bundles which will be loaded asynchronously when needed. It's pretty awesome.

So, when I fixed the link, it shows my name, my profile picture, and then my repos three times.

"Better" might not be the word for this. How about "different"?

Looks cool! You should probably have a more obvious signup link on the login/landing page - it took me a few moments to work out how.

I'm also getting lots of little 'Failed to fetch' errors around the site. I can provide more detail on request :)

(Disclaimer: I work at Lens.)

We do have a way to go in terms of optimising the site, but we are currently only open to a small number of alpha users. I can safely say that by the time we open the floodgates to the general public, these issues will have been addressed.

Thanks for the feedback!

Seems legit! I'm not sure it's hugely accurate, but it gave me a pretty close estimate for my salary.

- Eat properly. You will feel and look like shit if you don't.

- Sleep properly. You're gaining nothing by staying up to 4am, for some misplaced fear of missing out.

- You are worth more than you think.

- Surround yourself by people smarter than you. Ask for their help. You will learn more this way.

- Stay curious. If you're convinced that you know it all, you're probably entirely wrong.

Genuine answer: Feeling better about our self-image / placating the fear that we're "not manly enough".

Breach has been around a while now. I'm fairly sure it was only posted as a reaction to Vivaldi - the repository hasn't been touched for months.

> I'm not sure if that applies to the majority of the population (yet)

Are we living in the same country?

I want so very much to disagree with you here, but I can't find the words to do so.

This probably means you're right. I suggest we start a mass exodus to another country with equally melancholy weather and the guarantee of a Waitrose nearby.
