It does not benefit you, at all. It's for the benefit of the companies', nothing else. They're just going to use mental gymnastics in order to make customers believe, it's going to benefit them.

To be perfectly honest, Clojure's biggest mistake, from my point of view, was to be so heavily JVM-dependent. Yes, in certain environments Java is king and a ton of people use it, it's battle-proven, etc. But so are other stacks.

He does not do it, as far as I understand his post correctly. Funnily, I quite often find reactions such as yours coming from people who oppose the idea of having children. A parent telling you how happy they are having the kids IS NOT tell

Contact the founder / maker of Auphonic.com - he's a super nice and clever guy who does this kind of stuff for a living. He'll definitely point you into the right direction.

That's, you know, my opinion. Before English became lingua franca, French used to be it. Another language can become in the future. A globalized world is something I love - yet the world seems to be going in the opposite direction thes

Nope. With the US being more and more hostile towards the EU, and the British leaving, English is only going to be spoken natively by most Irish people. This amounts to around 5M native speakers - hardly a case for using English as the offi

How safe is using Cloudflare from a EU perspective? Is it a big improvement, if some day the American government might just request it to hand over all the logs?

If I could choose, it would be Wire for me, too. Unfortunately, it hasn't got real traction yet.

A similar thing happened to me, and I was lucky enough to get help from Namecheap's support (they actually escalated it fairly high in the command chain). After that incident, I decided to move my critical email communication with just

For those of us unfamiliar with the term "reproducible", yet in the business of software - what does it mean and why is it desirable or needed?

Well, that would be a clear win, because you would reduce the amount of distraction.

Business idea: corporate email system that offers a limited amount of emails per month, and once the limit gets hit, discounts money from employee's salary. Add a formula that makes it exponentially more expensive if you add more peopl

Not true - each European country can only choose one language - and Ireland chose Gaelic, since Britain chose English ;)
