Why is it a win to use an open source vector graphics software if you're then going to rely on a software as a service animation suite?

Yep. I took a big long break from Drupal, but thought it would be appropriate for a project I started building yesterday. In two days I've found as many bugs: https://www.drupal.org/node/339384 5 months ago, a mai

No, it's a closed loop of externalized costs. Workers have to try to eat, businesses have to try to compete, voters have to promote their economic interests, politicians have to stay elected. Climate change and antibiotic resistance et

It wasn't that long ago (in society scale, the scale that most of these people's clients reckon with, not on technology scale that most readers here will use) that you couldn't just configure up an interactive publishing work

I don't use the aggregators because I want to, and they don't use my passwords and screen scrape because they want to. I just can't have being aware of my finances take all fucking day. I wish there was a standard and secure

I think you might misunderstand my comments. I don't think you and I disagree much. You seem to be reading a lot into my comment and the grandparent's, I'm not sure what agenda you might suppose we have. I don't intend t

They aren't identical, but the grandparent's argument wasn't dependent on the premise that they are. You simply can't argue there wasn't a solid history predating Twitter, across RFCs of using @name for users and #n

The meaning of "Favorite" with a star icon has long been diluted by many apps to the degree of simply representing bookmarking for later use and not have any strong connotations of promotion or endorsement.

There is a pretty big semantic difference, that the OP explains very thoroughly. Could you explain how you disagree?

These people tend to be those with an abundance of time. It's not worth much to them. They might say that there's better things to do with one's emotional and time resources than react to them or try to censor them. It's

This is a good point. I will definitely be asking for tangibles. My last position actually lied (or somehow thought there was ambiguity in how they could answer "Do you do QA? Do you have a QA team?").

What's the best way, as a developer who realizes these things are important, to end up on a team that also does? I've tried working at agencies who were middle men as you described and faced economic problem of the OP article -- i

As much as planning for failure is dumber than regular planning, sometimes failure really is inevitable and you have no choice but to accept and mitigate it.

Has anyone found any objective information about the actual properties of Qmonos?

They're basically making Tolkien-the-software. I'm sure they consider the current language system to be just a placeholder for when they have the code to generate and mutate/mix grammars, phonology and vocabulary based on det

You seem to have gotten caught on the analogy and failed to read my argument. It doesn't matter if something is fiction, the reality is that fiction has a great impact on its audience, and that impact comes with proportional responsibi

And matches are perfectly safe, if you don't happen to be surrounded by flammables. The simple facts are that we have a huge amount of ignorance in the audience for this show, this show takes advantage of that (it is targeted to folks

I don't think it's a conspiracy to create paint brand loyalty, it's just too hard to codify real life color except as mix ratios of the formulations for pigments and paint that differ from brand to brand. You could define a s

No, just realising the ones we have based on assumptions from the 70s don't match what we really want. My phone has an operating system that mostly pretends that it's a mainframe. With just a little hardware, I could hook some cir

Unfortunately, Watson's sentiment detection is not capable of anything noteworthy.

Yeah, and if I'm adding WAF to my application, I'd want it to be something I can run on a developer's laptop for fast iteration cycles -- Vagrant up, change WAF rules, run the integration suite. If the WAF is up in the cloud,

I think it's more of a rejection of the instruction, not the concept being instructed. I had a similar experience with music instruction, everyone taught to the instrument and to the book of music, never any concepts of music theory ev

Because of all the developers that consume open source code to provide value to their organizations, the proportion who are willing, able and whose organizations allow them (not just permission but resources) to contribute back is effective

Not theoretically, at least. Even attackers that can read your RAM perfectly can be thwarted by encrypting things and unloading the keys from memory.
