For the kind of site described here, there are plenty of CDNs which will just treat it as a rounding error in terms of their running costs, if at all it costs anything, and give it to you for free

Haven't thought about MFC in many years. Your comment reminded me of a time in the 90's when I was learning how to build UIs using Win32 calls and then I learned about MFC and I thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Amazon is not cruel because of evil in someone's heart that manifests itself in the form of intentionally creating harsh workplace conditions. It is a situation arising out of the dilemma of profits vs employee welfare in the context o

When I think about Hayter vs Kiefer I think back to the ashes scene on the ship and imagine what Hayter would sound like if he had to say the lines and honestly I can't imagine him doing a better job. Maybe this particular role require

MGS5 was a fantastic game. I am not sure how I feel about what happened between him and Konami. On the one hand, it's a shame that they released something that was unfinished. From the bits and pieces that remain of the unfinished part

I remember reading on here at one time that under some scenarios your data doesn't come out the way you put it in, or something to that effect.

This is an absolute disgrace. Ok YouTube - what is the plan if Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai becomes the next Director General of the WHO? This creation of sacred cows from institutions is ludicrous. At one time YouTube associated itself with the SPL

They also banned Carl Benjamin, leading to a mass exodus. They justified this by citing his use of a racial slur in a YouTube video, although the word was not used in the context of a racial slur. In the USA there is some kind of Voldemort

We used Inkscape for a print asset in 2010. At the time it really struggled with: a) Lots of layers, large resolution b) Rendering accurate printable colors after calibration After many long nights we gave up and redid it in Illustrator. In

I have G6PD deficiency and there are mixed opinions on whether this form of chloroquine is safe for me to take. The deficiency affects about 400M people worldwide, surprised to see that this part of the discussion rarely gets brought up.

It's also situationally useful for L18N when you are dealing with large article type pages. You can dump out all of the markdown formatted data from your CMS and send it to a translation service - it's much cleaner for them to tra
