As a Venezuelan, living in Venezuela but having lived in the US and China, I can tell you that people here enjoy some very ridiculous subsidies and have to suffer some very draconian laws, which aside from corruption, mismanagement, etc. re

I like PHP as well, and ended up getting jobs that had these massive codebases that needed to be updated to modern standards. So, maybe not sexy but plenty of work. Anyhow, I was recently fiddling with Elixir. Forget the hype and all that.

Well, to be honest if you want to use websockets, you better do that part in Node.js, Elixir or Go. The creator of Juggernaut, which was one of the most popular websocket library for Rails, ended up porting to Node.js until he said that peo

Other than the historical facts, this article is kind of a weird read. The author seems to be guilty of the same thing he's accusing the Chinese president, namely using history to support their version of how this might play out.

Reading that link it says nothing about disabling Google analytics, which is what the parent post implies is at play here. It is not clear that is the case, but if it is, the disable button does nothing to help you. Firefox's about:con

I should point out that Baidu is good for China IF you are searching the Chinese internet. Which means writing stuff in pinyin or Chinese characters. It is pretty cool how it deals with pinyin though. Plus the other benefit of Baidu is that

My thoughts exactly. I keep seeing posts in Hacker News promoting Google Cloud through innocent looking blogs. Do not know if that was the case here, but there was another also from Australia, at https://news.ycombinator.com&#x2

I have made a conscious effort to avoid Google products as much as I could for some time, part social experiment, but also because I could use Bing without having to use a VPN while living in China. My personal results are that you can tota

Ryzen performance is awesome, but the design of that page, omg, it is almost unusable based on how bad the information is presented on Linux/Firefox.

Have you ever had to work with a piece of software, where, since you were not using Gentoo or something, your package manager had a very old package and had to install a new version from source? I remember around 1999 some sysadmins would s

Excuse me for being so stubborn, but this article reads like a paid for piece by Google. There is not enough information about who Andrew Walker is, and last time I checked, you needed to have some real professional help to create those kin

Please make sure the new one works well with mobile devices. I tried the current dashboard but only works in the desktop, looks really nice though even if a bit cluttered. But otherwise keep up the good work.

As far as truth is concerned, there can be no algorithm that can take care of that for a very simple reason. Media has an inherent bias all the time, be it geographical, cultural, political, etc. Read an article in the BBC about the Russian

It seems that you need a VPN. Best way to bypass stupid restrictions like that. Of course, the downside is that you will probably have to get two accounts so that you can still get stuff in Dutch. I was doing this stuff while in China, stil

All I will say is that you should close Wikipedia, go learn French in Southern France for 3 months and then comeback and reread what you wrote. Just because other countries have different systems, does not mean it is not working out for the
