It got a big push from Blair and Brown.

The problem is that a Fetishistic obsession with 100% cash savings instead of actually investing in something is not a good thing for the economy.

Whether or not you know it will deflate is irrelevant. The point is these things, which almost all people buy, get cheaper. In fact I'd argue that inflation is grossly over-stated: it doesn't take into account the quality of goods. E.g think computers. Thanks to price drops of many orders of magnitude we have enormous computing resources at our disposal right in the palm of our hands that makes things possible barely imaginable 20 years ago.

A quick search on e.g. rightmove.co.uk suggests there are multiple studio flats and one beds in the Shoreditch / "Tech City" area (some in zone 1) in the £14K-£15K pa range. Still not great I know especially on a £30K-£60K pa salary, but significantly cheaper than £19K pa, and the savings could help you start building up a deposit.
The real meat of the story is tucked towards the end of the article. Both Uber and Lyft would like to lock drivers exclusively to one service and not have them constantly price compare. Right now, basically every driver has both apps open which makes the market almost perfectly competitive with no opportunity to extract monopoly rents.

However, Uber and Lyft are also deathly afraid of any move to classify workers as employees rather than contractors and one of the key tests is whether the worker is free to set their schedules and working relationships.

The 30% rate is largely illusory, they're not expecting a large chunk of their workforce to pay it. Rather, it's to get them committed to Uber over Lyft while trying to avoid more onerous regulation.

Yes, you can learn to touch type when you are 23. It's not even that hard. And, it's my belief after seeing lots of programmers touch type or finger pecking is that you can be an average coder hunt and pecking. But to become an expert you absolutely must learn to touch type. Like if you have to spend a portion of your focus locating which keys to press, then that is focus you don't have available for thinking about what to type.

When I learnt touch typing, I had a game with words falling from the sky which you shoot down by typing them. And the words got longer and fell faster the farther into the game you progressed. I can't remember what it was called, but it improved my typing skills a lot as I was trying to beat my friends high scores. :) I think any game like that, like http://play.typeracer.com/ is very good to practice with.

Thank you for kind words. I'm not so sure how I can answer your response. I certainly can't interpret your daughters behavior. I'm in no position to do so.

Still, your post has deeply moved me and I feel like I can relate to what you're writing.

So I'll again share my feelings: I often respond similar when being scolded. It really is exciting to feel such a strong emotion. Or I'm simply happy that I made a connection to the outside. People get very irritated by that.
Sorry if my words were too strong. I said that because I like tools that do a particular job well. bash might be a middle ground tool that has moderately sane defaults and features. However, in other words, bash is inferior to fish with regard to easiness, and is worse than zsh with regard to feature set. I'm not a fan of such a tool.

I believe the world could have been a better place if they adopted fish as a default shell.
My experience is the opposite. I've never had to worry about food; in fact I'm always amazed at how cheap food is, at least if you stick to economy brands. Rent and heating have always been the big ones for me.
For elections to President of Ireland, there is only one 'seat' available. And it is elected under PR-STV. The PR-STV system works fine with only one seat. You select the quota the same way, you do transfers the same way. Ireland uses PR-STV for single-member constituancies just fine.

Lehtinen, Timo OA, et al. "Perceived causes of software project failures–An analysis of their relationships." Information and Software Technology 56.6 (2014): 623-643.

Both attempt to find the sources of software project failure, the second even manages to find causal relationships. Requirements definitely play a role but are not always the root cause. Overly generalised; the root cause seems to be with the lack of a clear vision on what the product/artifact will or will not do, this in turn leads to vague requirements. Lacking a clear vision, Decision makers will base their priorities solely on the information source they deem the most important: the customer.

Whereabouts, specifically? 'Zone 3' varies quite a lot; I recently moved out of a 2-bed flat in zone 3 which was 12K/year. It was a large 2-bed as well: main bedroom could have held 3 double beds, living room was about twice that size, large kitchen (huge by London rental standards) with room for a dining table, garden. Rents are increasing by about £1,000-1,500/year, but that doesn't account for the difference. I suspect you are talking about a pricier part of zone 3.

In fish, you type "w" on the empty prompt and hit Up:

Hit return to execute, or any motion keys to start editing. As long as you don't move sideways, you can repeatedly press up or down to navigate history. The underline is actually a highlight hinting at the substring match in the line.

The difference is that typing an additional character after having moved in the history will start editing, appending the character to the line, instead of appending to the criteria.

What I miss in all of them is looking for a fuzzy match instead of a substring match.
I don't think this is the first time I see this type of concept (not sure).

One thing is, you'll have to get a ton of users at start. Unless people start actively using it everywhere, everyone will slowly stop using it because there will be no content. I do believe it will be hard to achieve.

The idea is great, good luck!

The comment compared Popcorn Time to Netflix; I don't think you can really compare iTunes to Netflix (or Popcorn Time). Netflix provides broad access to a range of work for a fixed monthly cost, iTunes is more of a storefront where you can purchase rights.

Popcorn Time seems like what many people want from Netflix: a much larger library. Something more like Spotify, but for movies and television.

Like past ventures, this will end up being a poorly documented, and disorganised attempt at building an 'ecosystem'. In the end, it will be the odd couple of die-hard MS fanboys and large corporates co-existing in another one of MicroSoft's weird little ecosystems. And Microsoft support will have long receded into the darkness.

If it sounds like I have a chip on my shoulder it's because I do. I am unfortunately working on a SharePoint 2013 app for my employer. I was excited at first. RESTful APIs and most logic client-side in JS! Maybe Microsoft finally 'gets' it!

Nope.

Their documentation is a disorganised mes; a symptom of a company divided into little fiefdoms thanks to stack-ranking. Their REST API is absurdly complicated for simple CRUD thanks to its implementation of oData (kind of). The fact that microsoft cannot do a spec compliant implementation of a 'protocol' that THEY THEMSELVES INVENTED is a damning indictment of the state of their organisation.

Oh and being forced into the MS developer ecosystem has just been peachy. Intellisense doesn't work properly for JS (let alone angular) and their 'project based' organisation system is confusing as hell. I desperately miss sublime text, but not enough to craft SP app packages by hand every time I want to test and debug.

Did I mention that I (painfully) set up a local SP dev environment? SP Online is limited in many ways. I HAD planned to pay microsoft a lot of money (around $200 a month) for a pre-made Azure VM designed for SharePoint dev, but that VM image is a 'MSDN exclusive'. So.... you don't want my money? Instead of taking my money, you'd rather raise the barrier to SharePoint app development for all the developers who aren't in your special little club? (so, most webdevs, the precise demographic MS is trying to woo with their shiny new app model)

Good luck with building your 'app ecosystem'. Seriously, you're going to need it.

Software contractor for Airbus and Rolls-royce here.

All safety critical software (every piece of code ran on-board is safety critical the least) in aerospace needs to pass the DO-178 standard [1].

That is far more serious than standard unit tests you are used to in node.js applications. Generally speaking, to develop a piece of code under that standard it takes 20% of time to write the code, and 80% to testing, and enormous amount of documentation (that is optimistic estimation, usually worse).

Quoting speaker from DO-178 training course I attended:

People often ask us. "How do we know the standard works?"
We give this answer: "We do not know. But there have been zero crashes due to software issues since introduction"

If this crash confirms the cause to be a software bug, that is something much bigger than an airplane crash - a huge punch to the whole federal aviation administration.

>> Many large apps are significantly de-normalized and have many foreign-key less tables, often filled up by scheduled jobs. That's fine for most apps; NoSQL architectures recognize that and users consider that in design.

There's a boat load of assumed knowledge in this quote, how likely is it that someone not familiar with rdbms would know what a foreign key is, for example? Not very likely I think. I posit you give developers too much credit.
Unfortunately I need Linux and a bit of processing power, and especially I need a HW design that I can modify, but thanks!

Re posts below:

Food is not expensive. It is expensive when you have already spent all of your money on housing and transport, obviously. (It is about 10% of min wage in UK).

That's kind of the point I'm trying to make; if housing is cheap then inflation is actually a reasonable metric. If it takes up most of your income it is really just a measure of 'how much the things you already cannot afford are increasing by'.

When you have a stable home, spending money is fine! Until you do, every pence spent is just taking you further away from that stability.
