The way I see it, is that this is terrible for the reputation of the Nigerian goverment. This is how you scare off businesses from operating in your country. Or am I missing something? Did Binance truly do something morally wrong; would the

With the larger platforms, the more you use the platform the more specific the feed or recommendations become. What you describe sounds indeed like the surface level feed that a new or logged out account would get. Ignore all feeds and sear

It's true that looking at country borders sometimes gives a false impression to how human societies on Earth are divided. I really like looking at this World Population Density map[0] that I found online, things look very different whe

These are called Hyperlinks. They are used in documents written in the Hyper Text Markup Language, transferred using the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. By connecting our microcomputers together globally, it is possible to exchange documents.

I have read many reports of people giving up on it, claiming that it is terribly buggy and has been for a while. The question is, under what circumstances did AMD test it and what does AMD consider "working". Probably it works on

Where I live, consumers sometimes end up with solar installations, whose economic feasability relies on the compensation paid by energy companies in the case of overproduction. Which happens in the summer during daylight hours. In the winte

How much interaction do your sites have? If you ran a little program locally that took the sitemap, and generated a static site, then you will be immune for life for those security and maintenance arguments. You can probaly pin the PHP, SQL

What I did some time ago was create two native projects, drop in a WebView, write most code in C++, then use a single shared C++ header for things like bluetooth. This functionality is implemented in a C++ file for Android and an ObjC++ fil

A potential bottleneck will be the peak power consumption and peak charge rate. If you need to store energy year-round, charged and discharged at relatively a trickle, then this tech might be a solution. I wonder how big and expensive a 5kW

It is shitty is that your ISP blocked NAT, that is certainly a crime against humanity, as running your own server is such a pure expression of freedom.

Draw.io (freeware, cross-platform desktop app). I have used it for diagrams mainly, but also for quite a bit of UX mockups. Its strength is diagrams though. But it is quite generic also in a way.

Maybe Gates saw, that although the Altair was a great demonstrator of the groundbreaking Intel 8080 it was built around, real user value was yet to be delivered by either successors or competitors to the Altair. Maybe Gates saw the value in

Maybe you are using a terrible technology for your UX work, or you are going at it wrong? As with any kind of engineering: less is more. Think about how simple some of the CLI interfaces are to tools like make or grep. And then there are co

For anything that is anticipated to grow beyond a very small codebase, the lack of static checkability really becomes a pain with PHP. I'm surprised that Java and modern C++ are not more popular. I know for large web applications, Java

Two recent projects I wrote in C++20 using my own HTTP library. Only dependencies are a JSON library and a HTML template library (only used in one project). For these projects I used my own Postgres C++20 library. Another recent project I d

As a developer, JavaScript does not scale due it lacking static checkability and for some, performance. So we slap TypeScript on top, which mostly solves this problem. But starting a massive browser UI project today, I think Qt on WASM + W

How about disabling robot crawling on all blogs by default (and adding nofollow, as you mentioned). Then, manual moderation will allow people to earn to have their blog allowed for crawlers. To make this clear to users, when posting content

I would not be surprised if this would eventually be heavily regulated. It is a bit of a quiet before the storm perhaps. If you look at how heavily medical devices are regulated (I worked in medical devices) I would not be surprised.

For C++, I use clangd (works fine for GCC projects). The only config it needs is the path to compile_commands.json, which can be automatically generated by CMake and some other build systems. For TypeScript no config is needed. For Java the
