You don't have to work for wordpress.com, though. For example, I do some PHP coding for a media company, which also happens to use Wordpress - WP with redis caching can run a big site also. So yes, there is still php work floating arou

That it looks like a new improved version, while in reality it is basically a completely new language.

I don't see it as a rant. He criticized Ubuntu for unwillingness to clarify the trademark issue. Correct me if I am wrong, but how I understood the article, what Canonical did was to take Debian sources licensed under GPL, created a pr

I picked up Python about 1 year ago as my hobby language, and following the common advice, I started with 3. But I quickly encounter two problems: 1) some libraries I actually wanted to use were still 2 2) When I tried to google a solution

I'd like to add that it didn't happen to news media (yet). I help with SEO for one middle-sized news media, and FB traffic is up to 25%, not more. I have read that others have bigger numbers, though.

It's only "better" if you philosophically agree with its imposed restrictions on the code. I for example happen to agree with Linus arguments against v3. For example, the clause against "tivoization". If you believe

I use Safari on iPad, but on iPhone it is unusable for many websites, since it doesn't support text reflow (my opinion). So on iPhone I use Mercury, but sometimes it is a bit slow. So on iPhone there is still a room for a better browse

Not related to this article directly, but what is the current perception of the term "Software Freedom"? I know that FSF equals it to GPL, which grants certain freedoms to the user of the software, but if such a user is actually a

But did RMS offered some technological solutions regarding solving those pain points? The article sounds as if Amazon was the culprit here, but imho Amazon needs to comply with what publishers wants, and also to protect copyright rights of

I agree with the general sentiment, but imho Windows Phone is still not there. Lot of apps are iOS+Android only, or the WP alternative is sub-par.

What I find missing is a native Windows client. For me, "immediate" note taking means that I just hit ctrl-alt-N (or click Evernote icon in a tray), and I am immediately writing. In Google Keep, you basically need to visit a webpa

I am also worried that Evernote didn't innovate in the recent years, but I still consider it a best notetaking application on Windows. (and I tried several others like ResophNotes, Onenote, etc). I can quickly add new note by clicking

It's not inner decay. It just more possibilities C++ allows you to do, which can give you more power if you know what you are doing.

I am playing in Europe for about 12 months, and while the game is still going on, the number of players doesn't increase...some are joining, and about the equal amount leaves. So I wonder if the game had its peak already. After a few m

I have an anecdotal evidence related to this. In the secondary grammar school, I participated in the so-called math olympics, which consisted of three levels, school level, district level, and then country level. It was not related to &quot

What about moves validity, and detection of mate/stalemate? Would it be ok that the program assumes, that the opponent is playing legal moves only? Also, should it be required to detect mate and stalemate, and stop playing at that poin
322.
by greyman 12y ago
Yes, totally agree. I think we could be lenient on moves validity - let's accept that the program will work correctly only if the opponent plays legal moves, and it also doesn't need to castle. Maybe it is also not necessary that

And what about publications like AnandTech? Their editorial seems to be independent of sales, and they are still doing fine.

I wouldn't use this extension, and I also don't use ad blocker, but I kind of understand it. People using this extension considers those ad networks as evil, so they want to fight against them. In my personal opinion, WWW was inve

But that is the point - they want to actively fight against ads who do tracing, and by extension, against sites using those ads.

Of course, but that's kind of a point of this extension. It doesn't only want to block ads, but actively fight against them. (or as I understood it, against those ads which do user tracking).
