How useful is translating "pseudocode into a working program"? I doubt the utility of that skill as a programmer

I'm hope this is just a pretty slide deck for public consumption, not really for "investors". e.g. that slide with visitors and uniques screams vanity metrics to me...

The genie is really out of the bottle. Yes, OP acknowledges that North Korea will be crumbling, static strategy. The alternative merely prolongs but hardly extends. Consider that people can emigrate - but they still need to communicate with

It might pay in certain cases to get directly from the horse's mouth. Talk to web programmers of various stripes to get an idea of what's suitable for you. Talk to project managers too, but do remember if you ask a PM, you will get a long p

The _pragmatic_ thing to do is indeed to suspend and investigate.

"The proposal above does not provide robust content protection, so it would not address this use case even if it wasn't unethical." My thoughts exactly once you view the first diagram on the proposal.

This whole thread is probably going nowhere, imo. The maintainer has valid reasons - and it's part of the spec. The issue raisers have their reasons - minifiers don't work for them. Here's the beauty of git and github, one can always run a

`come up with specific solutions for the copyright problem and also acknowledge that copyright holders do have some legitimate concerns` As Alexis said that's a problem for their industry. It's quite a false flag to say that the tech sites
