I have no problem making friends and speaking to people. I'm an introvert who became an extrovert as my confidence increased. And, I just wanted to really back up the 'uncomfortable' comment. Even with close friends the conversation can die completely and not come back for a while, because we run out of things to say. So if that does happen to you, be aware, it's completely normal, and happens to everyone.

Oh, I'm not saying he won't contribute, just that his choices are extremely limited, to a degree I would not want for my son.

Being a part of military actually should be seen as a limitation rather than William going his own way. Since the soldiers pledge their loyalty to the crown it is deemed appropriate that a potential future monarch should serve in the military. They get to choose which bit, and perhaps when, but they probably never had a choice about joining up. Then the Royals only tend to spend a couple of years. Harry is the keenest as he joined infantry. But his fame brought him back from action early because he was a prized target.

Also Wikipedia now says Harry's now in project management: "On 17 January 2014, the Ministry of Defence announced that Harry had completed his attachment to 3 Regiment Army Air Corps and will take up a staff officer role at the position of SO3 (Defence Engagement) in HQ London District. His responsibilities will include helping to co-ordinate significant projects and commemorative events involving the Army in London."

I would expect this is not what he would have chosen had he been born Harry Smith.

You can't stop being "the guy who decided not to be the King of England"

I actually feel sad for the lot of them. It's not like they went looking for fame, it was thrust upon them. I, for one, would hate the continuous travel, smile, nod, shake hand, smile, move on.

Prince George's future is all laid out, he has zero incentive and zero opportunity to make something worthwhile by himself. He will never be "just another one of the team", at least, not for long.

I wouldn't wish Prince George's life for my sons.

Craftsman or Artisan strike me as a good place to start.

But without a similar audit on the alternatives proving their security, surely the most responsible action would be just to explain there is a problem and stop there.

Will there come a time when you can just cross the road whenever you choose knowing that all traffic will stop, without fail, automatically?

I think the driverless car will actually make more of a difference to the typical pedestrian than the typical car occupier.

I don't believe there is going to be a time when amazon can suddenly flip a switch and start bringing in mountains of profit, and then maintain that for a prolonged period, in it's retail business.

It will be too easy to compete in some areas, indeed it's fairly easy to compete (with amazon) in some areas already.

My customer sells pushchairs (strollers) and prams and cots and so on. There is a thriving independent e-commerce environment in the UK with baby goods.

Amazon is supposed to be this cost-cutting behemoth that through market forces and a willingness to operate on razor slim margins will wipe out any and all competition.

Online4Baby can sell a sleigh cot bed with a drawer at £150 and Amazon's closest is at £179, even with it's 3rd party sellers.

That's just one product, but the continued existence and growth of the independent baby e-commerce operators in the UK is proof that there are areas where you can compete today. And when amazon flip the switch there will be more areas where you can compete.

What I've seen is that it's when the UK supermarkets entered the market, after one of them bought a competitor, that has had the greatest impact over the last 5 years or so.

To add my anecdote of others, I feel magazines don't do as good a job with deep understanding as more 'academic' layouts. Is this a font & design issue hiding as a device issue?

Do not feel any shame for your addiction. Nobody chooses addiction, it creeps up on you without realising. You now know what's happening to you and you want to do something about it, well done! You will figure out how to fix it, you are clearly a clever person, you will find a way that's right for you, but it may take a few goes and there will be times when believe you will never stop your addiction. But you will.

Try and find someone who you can talk to about this, ask them to hold back on their instinct to provide advice, ask them just to be there to talk to. Then tell them every week or two how it's going.

Good luck

You probably don't need to worry about it, it's just further proof that the postgresql devs do it right, and you're in safe hands.

Putin died three years ago, fact.

Maybe.

It looks like they want someone clever, but they won't be getting clever people with expectations like that. Unless desperate.

I like it when the expression in the "if" is clear.

On the example page there is no option to add images. So initially I thought that sir trevor couldn't do image blocks. You might get more interest if the Example page makes it clear some blocks are disabled.

He goes too far. Images should also be abandoned. And maybe colour. And in this case, perhaps the text too.

We wanted the SVG to be responsive, but altering the size of the svg itself didn't work well in all browsers. So we put it in a div and resized that and told the svg to fill the div. We have had to set the height on the div otherwise it defaults to the native height of the svg in some browsers, rather than the resized height. The svg did maintain it's proportions however.

Also, we wanted to dome some simple onclick and onhover events on certain elements within the svg, and to do this we had to keep the <script></script> stuff outside the SVG because of safari. Interestingly having the javascript within the SVG worked well with the other browsers...

> Could anyone add info here.

It works - desktop and mobile.

I have recently successfully used inline SVG in IE10, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I had issues, and found bugs, but I also found workarounds fairly quickly.

I used the html5 doctype and the default Content-Type:

The book "Making Software: What Really Works, and Why We Believe It" (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Making-Software-Really-Works-Believe...) has a section on this.

Chapter 8 "Beyond lines of Code: Do we need more complexity metrics?" by Israel Herraiz and Ahmed E Hassan.

Their short answer is that, in the case they looked at, all the suggested metrics correlated with LOC, so you may as well use LOC as it's so easy to measure.

IIRC they believe it's only good to compare LOC between different employees if they are doing pretty much the exact same task however, but since LOC is correlated with code complexity, there is some measure there.

I recommend the book, as really focusing on the science of computer science.

Mean wage in the UK is £29k Median is £21k 75th percentile is £33.3k

These figures are for the UK as a whole 2012/13 from wikipedia.

The first job is to try and make sure that there is no accidental viewing of stuff. Once a click on a shock site has been made the damage is done.

I could trust a filter based on a whitelist

There is relatively easy

But I don't have an easy way to say "No - that site is fine" - I am not in control.

But actually it's easy only because I know what DNS is and can imagine how to setup my router to use their dns servers.

As a father of a young child I'm quite keen on being able to provide him with a clean connection to the internet. I want him to be able to explore without having to watch over him.

We should have solutions to this problem, at the router level, where we can be in charge of the blacklist, and the times various items on it are ok or not ok.

Politicians cannot be blamed for trying to do what is popular, and because we as a community have failed to solve the problem for less technical parents than I, an imperfect solution has been proposed. We should not be surprised.

We are the ones best suited to find the optimal solutions to such problems, and carping on about politicians doing something when we have done far too little is pointless.

Break the routine. Pick a city, or a part of a city, you have never been to and spend some time there,even if it's just a day. Find galleries, or something out of your comfort zone. Perhaps go hiking or camping or sailing. It doesn't matter. Get out of your routine and meet new people.

I would go so far as to say that no politician in Britain puts forward the case for Europe in these terms. Any pro European argues that it is in our economic interest, and mentions no other advantage. The reason for this is, they could not sell the idea that the European project is decreasing the chances of European war. Indeed, lately, as the popularity of the European project has been diminishing across Europe it looks increasingly as though the main beneficiary of the European project is Germany. Due to the Mediterranean countries keeping the Euro exchange rate low, Germany has benefited from selling it's cheap exports, for years and years. Now that the wheels have fallen off Greece and Spain and Ireland and Portugal those populations look to Germany with envy.

There is a British view, which I am unconvinced of, that the single currency, being done for political rather than economic reasons, has caused, and will continue to cause international European tension.

In short, Britain is not convinced of the economic case, it is not convinced of the moral case, it is not convinced of any benefit whatsoever.

If the Tories win power at the next election outright, which is possible, they have promised an in/out referendum on Europe. If that referendum takes place it is perfectly clear how Britain will vote, they will vote Out.

Then we will be living in interesting times.

Aren't we all shocked by the prices of things occasionally. Don't we sometimes think a thing should be cheaper than it is, especially when it's a new thing to us.
