Damn, that's an excellent earner! Well done lol. I've never played Solitaire to completion and I just checked it out and spent 8 minutes of my life playing Solitaire and completing for the first time, lol. Really smooth experience :)

vyper91 — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:18:24 +0000

As I have a working knowledge of SQL this was very simple but my friends who use it sparsely in their financial jobs had a blast racing each other.

This type of gamification is awesome and as someone who loves coding but doesn't find Sudoku's or whatever very enjoyable, I would love a place I could do little coding challenges like this in break times!

Anyone know of any? I'm thinking "Escape Rooms" via coding could be a big thing!

There's a guy who makes a playlist on Spotify called Programming with a coffee emoji, I listen to it so often I even found his Twitter or something and reached out to him to show appreciation. Turns out listening to Scandinavian Rock (melodic and lyrics I can't follow) is really good for productivity lol

he was making a reference to A Clockwork Orange...bit of the ol' Ludwig Van.

referring to how the character murders people or has threesomes in the film to a symphony.

Here's the thing - I am big on ergonomics, keyboard and trackpads are always a super high priority for me.

At my desk I have a Topre Realforce 88UB 45g keyboard that cost me like £200, a Razer Blackwidow for gaming, and a Microsoft Sculpt to switch it up.

I'm fairly big on keyboards, but I do love the new MBP keyboard.

I can't remember the old one enough now (I had the 2014 model previously), but I know I spoke of it as the best laptop keyboard - so I agree I probably rate it more than this one, BUT I am so used to typing on this now that I really don't think about the keyboard as a con in the slightest - you have to sit with it for a few weeks and you'll be flying - I break 120wpm on this because there is practically no travel.

What I DO hate, is that effing touchbar. Worst design decision on this laptop. I am 'over' it in that I can work fine with it and don't feel like it hinders me anymore, but everytime I look at it I get annoyed they are still sticking with it.

The only two cons of this MBP now it has a spec refresh -> touchbar sucks and not having ONE USB-A slot really pisses me off everytime I reach for the adapter...

said no-one ever

edit: clearly some people share your sentiment, but whilst introduction of iOS notifications were a relief, I can't understand why anyone would think they are better than Android.

It's a commonly shared sentiment at least that Android notifications are leagues ahead of iOS.

My biggest gripe is the lack of grouping, and I do miss the fact Android used to give me 'active' notifications such as a progress bar on the download of a Spotify album, for example.

Maybe it's because I'm a tall guy (and fairly overweight) but for me it's the mesh that makes it so good - it might feel tight and not exactly 'cushioned', but I can sit on it for hours without feeling sore, whereas nearly every other office chair after a while feels like I've sunk into the cushion and warped my sitting position - or hit the plastics/metal!

I have to say the Aeron is my absolute favourite chair and I've worked in several different environments.

I haven't had the luxury of testing other high-end ergonomic chairs, but I had to buy an Aeron for my home office as soon as I started getting serious about remote-working.

I can sit in this thing for a lengthy 12-hour shift and feel physically OK doing so (with some regular small walking breaks of course) - and I cannot say the same thing for any other chair.

I also think it just looks fantastic, it's definitely iconic and I have expressed my interest to Herman Miller in this new chair even though the one I'm sitting in right now is five years old and still feels mint condition.

"While the sales are legal, human rights campaigners and cyber-security experts have expressed serious concerns these powerful tools could be used to spy on millions of people and thwart any signs of dissent."

Whilst true, why does this point seem to matter for other countries governments than our own?
