It is not possible to get properly licensed in many places in Spain as no new licenses are issued.

In Barcelona, the already granted licenses won't even get renewed in 2028.

Nothing prevented you from transferring the bitcoins to your personal wallet (where they should be in the first place anyways instead of in the exchange's vault) and then transferring to the scammer's address.

A cool example: an implementation of the Game of Life in... the Game of Life!

Use `yarn install`, it at least fixes the way things are installed locally by having a single copy of the packages in use and hard links in the projects.

I was quite surprised that the (very nice) Apple genius asked me for my password when I left my Macbook air for repair. Seemed part of the typical routine. I declined (with a strange look on my face), told him there's a guest account if they need to check anything. He was obviously fine with it. I asked him if many people gave it out; je told me that 99% do.

I realize that the tradition is to no even RTFA, but there's a great TED talk on this technology.

I've always assumed that they stored only the hashes of the CC number. In any case they (probably) don't store the expiration date

Nice graph. You'll have better luck with 'javascript' than 'java script' though.

I find it revealing that the "was this review helpful" counter is near 700, when the other reviews have a count below 10... I, for one, clicked on it, in a futile attempt to teach that hotel about the Streisand effect and how not to treat customers. The hotel didn't even bother to reply to the review...

The best way to remove luck and improve learning is to play duplicate instead. Letter scores don't need to be balanced.

Discover sous-vide, either with a SousVide Supreme (http://www.sousvidesupreme.com/) or an immersion circulator (e.g. http://www.waterbaths.com/products/sousvide_products.html). The supreme is fabulous for slow cooks (3 days beef ribs).

I seriously question the web expertise of anyone who snubs w3schools snobs. I'll note that experts don't need user-friendly, they need accuracy, both as a reference level and as a guide for best practices. Check http://w3fools.com/ again...

It is clear that mandatory helmets makes bikesharing much less popular. Check what happened in Melbourne. Other places are looking into changing laws for this reason in particular, e.g. http://www.ibiketo.ca/blog/helmets-may-protect-your-head-mandatory-helmet-laws-will-likely-make-cyclists-less-safe If you've never seen the impact of bikesharing on a city, you should visit Paris or here in Montreal; the number of bikes you see in downtown is quite impressive.

At least the message was understood loud and clear... It took a couple of hours and a commit to Rails was made to change the default: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/641a4f62405cc2765424320932902ed8076b5d38
