   I don't think that's a stupid question at all. Ionic uses Cordova [1], which basically launches a browser that runs your web page as an "app". That said, Cordova does give you access to native APIs, so you still have acc

   I would be very surprised if they let you write code for them without a contract in place. IANAL, but I believe that technically code you write in your own time is your IP unless you've signed a contract saying otherwise.

   I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion, but my god the writing is hysterical. From my point of view (early 20s, grew up with computers and learned typing in 3rd grade), I really can't imagine that typing is that much of an issue

   I am not the author of this library, but I've found it to be incredibly useful putting together documentation for GitHub/GitLab repos. If you're working with JavaScript, this library combines really nicely with jsdoc-to-markd

   To be fair, the message I got from that episode was "Alexa is a poorly designed friend replacement for lonely people", so I'm not sure Amazon really got their money's worth there.

   FWIW, I watched House of Cards in the the US and did not see any disclaimers about product placement.

   Why? Rust is a systems-level language. It's not designed for scripting. If that's what you want, use Python/bash/{yourFavoriteScriptingLanguage}.

    I'm with you there - I was more talking about the trust that needs to exist that the (official) binary distributor really is following through on their claims about privacy or security.

    I think the parent was talking Vivaldi, not Brave.

    No hard data on this, but I assume that most teen pregnancies occur in demographics that are unlikely to care much for data visualizations. 77% of teen pregnancies are unplanned [1], so these parents did not "decide" to have a chi

    Will you post some results/thoughts to let us know how it went? Nothing specific about the conversations, obviously, just some general conclusions.

    Is there a reason that almost every blog post/platform/organization I've seen that involves some sort of block chain tech invariably starts spouting hyperbolic, overblown rhetoric about overthrowing the social order? Block ch

    On the other hand, I use Chrome on my Windows machine - the constant dialogs that pop up over the Edge shortcut whenever I load up Chrome telling me how great Edge is are really tiresome.

    Sure, but WWII was a historical anamoly, not a "historical norm". "World peace", to my mind, implies _no_ wars, not just 'less conflict than the biggest war in history'.

    I would argue that 87% is an unacceptable margin of error given that we are talking about the presidential election.

    Can you link to your company's website? This sounds interesting.
