Most single page web applications are as bad when it comes to SEO as Flash websites. "Download our mobile app" pages are the new skip intros of Flash days. A lot of Javascript apps are CPU hogs, HTML5 video decoding performance is

Agreed. It well may be that technology temporarily enhances our lives while in the long run it's detrimental for our species.

And this is only the economical measure of benefits for the society. For instance rarely anyone speaks of the environmental damage as a direct result of human advancement which might ultimately be fatal for society.

I guess it that depends from person to person but I'd be definitely interested to see the general population happiness (not sure how they measure that) with tech. I personally can't stand tech anymore, it's what I'm forc

"Am I ready?" Are you a programmer? Yes? You are ready. Seriously in the current market you don't need to be a very confident programmer to be contractor in the UK. Quit your stressful jobs and get into contracting NOW. Money

I reserve 4 hours a day for client queries mainly when they are online. And then shut things off for 8 other hours of coding. 4 hours per client mas/menos.

Sceptical Iranian here. There are groups that profit from an ongoing tension and conflict on both sides. This time around it seems they have lost the hand, but we would be a fool to think that this agreement settles things for good. This ha

This is becoming a real issue for me. I've basically stopped goings to cafes and bars because the owners seem annoyed by me camping around and I can only drink so many cups of coffee a day. I would gladly pay an hourly rent if they&#x2

Conspiracy theory here... Me thinks they've already got their hands on a quantum computer and this is all just a smoke screen. Yes yes, encryption, can't get through that...

I'm from Urmia. I clearly remember the days we used to go to the lake and effortlessly float on it. It was a great sight, with magnificent wildlife, beautiful flowers and odd looking rocks. I haven't been back to Urmia in almost 9

They booked me and detained me in a cell for a few hours. They gave a cup of tea though.

I was surprised by their conclusion. The only item with finger prints on it was the phone book. So I asked them, would a burglar go about stealing things, then just as he's about to leave the home, he takes off his gloves and checks ou

They kept me for about 6 hours. Mainly because I phoned up a lawyer and told them I wouldn't be speaking to them unless he arrived. Took the lawyer a few hours to get there.

They were suited up detectives. They arrested me on suspicion of robbery. One of them was about to handcuff me but I kindly asked that he shouldn't and he accepted. They then transported me to the police station while my neighbours wat

Thankfully not as severe as this, but a few years police came to my door and arrested me on suspicion of robbery. I was told they had a forensic evidence that I was involved in it. As part of UK Visa procedures, I had to provide my biometri

Erm... no. They mostly love what they do and would do it as a hobby even if they didn't get paid for it. However musicians absolutely despise most kinds of live shows.

It's great that you at least tried it. Takes guts to do so. It's something I've always wanted to do, but been waiting for that next level of financial security before I do so. Problem is, every time I reach the target, I&#x27

I'm Iranian. Taarof is the worst thing ever. Simple social interactions become these meaningless and tangled situations. It's really hard to get things done. Your average shopping in the market takes at least 50% more than it shou

Not sure if true, but I heard a couple of researchers in my uni wrote some code for Boeing. They wrote the code in Prolog. I assume because it's easier to formal test it. And they didn't trust the compiler, so they had to check th
