Picasa (desktop app). It hit a sweet spot for me - linux compatible, very easy to do the majority of simple edits (crop, rotate, colour tweaks), and a few other nice features. The only significant fai…

Location: Stockholm, Sweden Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Java, Spring, Hibernate, Linux, SQL, and a whole pile of other bits and pieces. Résumé/CV: https:/&…

Reminiscent of the Private Eye (a satirical British magazine) riposte to one of the many legal threats they received: http://www.lettersofnote.com/2013/08/arkell-v-pressdram.…

Or indeed other infections. As it was explained to me, elderly people sometimes can't get a fever so the first sign something is wrong can be confusion and other odd behaviour. In the case of my …

But if you define truths in that rather narrow axiomatic way then there doesn't seem to be much to stop people from saying "from our point of view $countertruth is true." Which is surel…

I'm baffled by this bit: > "Different things are true for different people" (which is simply false). I mean, "English is the easiest language to understand" is clearly tru…

They're available on AbeBooks last time I checked. Buy "The Inventions of Daedalus" and if you like it also "The Further Inventions..." which are both fantastic. Alternatively…

For me, Mozilla needed to answer three questions: * Do you know you fucked up? * How did this happen? * What will you do to ensure this doesn't happen again? They've only answered the first …

Unless you were offered the position and declined it that would always be ascribed to sour grapes. Regardless of merit.

I dislike the glossing over of the distinction between a compiler bug and a library bug. For me there's a definite spectrum: * OS - I've never found an OS bug that wasn't widely known *…
