Well, I personally don't want a "special" UX in my editor. In any case just about every WP point upgrade has brought editor enhancements, so if you haven't used it recently you won't have a good basis of comparison

It is not a given that an older version will be unpatched. For example, RHEL (and by extension CentOS) backports patches without updating the version number.

WordPress is also very popular among content folks, on account of its well, content management features. Not to mention the strength of the editor, and easy extensibility. You could tap away in your terminal for a year making the new and

The full year subscription price does appear to have been completely left off the new site. Hiding the actual price probably tested well?

The idea that Uber drivers needing to keep up high ratings to "stay in the game" makes them (act) more cheerful than taxi drivers, who need to earn tips in order to make a living wage, seems kind of shaky. And that was unfortunate

Luckily, folks who care about making things accessible for those with disabilities have already won (god forbid something like the ADA getting passed today), so I don't actually need to fight this battle. These videos will be caption

The hallmark of a successful development program is to simultaneously convince you of two things (1) the school is of the highest quality and (2) it is drastically underfunded. Yes endowment funds are earmarked, but in most cases they'

MIT's endowment is 12b. That's a ways off Harvard's outlier of 36b, but if they're paying out 5% a year as a benchmark, that's $600m a year just off the endowment. Not being as rich as Bill Gates does not make on

Wow to the downvotes on this. Leaving aside their toxic personal politics, they don't even know how to use the site. (This one can be correctly downvoted as meta)

It also mentions that at the end of the linked article. This is an adapted excerpt from the book (unsurprisingly).

I thought it was interesting? It's not even like the author himself came here and put it in front of you. I can send you some links with much more comprehensive displays of vacuousness on the internet if you need some solid targets.

Well, it is also not hard to think of other successful independent games that predate 2004. Or 1994. Or 1984. It seems to come down to what you mean by it? Without access to the author's mental definition of the term we can't re

That is all pretty much completely incorrect - I think you must be misreading a 1.6b expense line as a loss? FY 2014 for BKS was pretty much even. https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3ABKS&fstype=ii&ei=Kz_... You&

Books (from major publishers at least) are generally purchased at wholesale and held - but (and this is a big but) they're generally returnable to the publisher. Individual store and publisher terms may and will vary.

I know it's only one of the points, but it's not true that ebooks are still "rapidly rising in popularity" - while they do seem to continue to become more popular, the trajectory has clearly slowed. It seems, generally

Taboola and that ilk are seriously the devil. I can think of no other development in the last couple of years(or: that became popular over that span) that has done more to degrade the qualitative experience of web browsing.
