It’s a very interesting proposition. If you cannot generate revenue by your internet content, probably you can’t live from generating content for the internet. The consequence, IMHO, is that the internet would have this amount of content an

Search engines scrapping your content is not the problem. Competitors scraping your content is.

A test fixes the behavior. When later the need to change the code arises, you have a meaningful way of comparing results. Any test is better than none, I’m my opinion.

Automatic test generation in this case is not testing your hypothesis of how the code behaves, but rather records how the code actually does. This can be very useful if you are dealing with legacy code bases or just don’t want to write test

They provide arguments for your code, runs it and record the output. Based on the input types, it creates a hyperdimensional surface which is then searched for possible output values. So, it runs your code, and runs it a lot. If your code d

Unless pentagon is engaged in a disinformation campaign, the data made available this year make this debunking article very data-poor. Even Obama came on record in an interview saying there are real videos, which show unexplainable movement

People need a phone to use Instagram. Instagram makes money out of ads, not out of its users. So anything that threatens this revenue source can kill Facebook. They can still do ads without tracking, but would that still be a trillion dolla

I personally believe VR and mainly AR are the next and natural step in personal computing. Ubiquitous computing may be the next step from there. Something like “the world is the computer and you just interact with it”.

So we basically are seeing that google was "right" from their point of view in securing a mobile OS. Facebook maybe thought this day would never arrive and could have avoided that by doing their own mobile OS too. Well, maybe they

I had the strong feeling that this can be very helpful, but cannot wrap my head around why. Can someone explain why this is useful? This means I can maintain a set of "private" changes to a branch, say, better log messages, have t

The problem is: you cannot parse malformed (real, everyday) html with regexes. But if you need to parse html even malformed) generated by the same template (like a scrapping situation), the whole file becomes regular, which can be parsed by

Much faster. Using absolute (or home-relative ~) paths save a lot of time. Because now you can reuse commands a lot more and CTRL-R will yield more hits.

I’m not trying to start a flame war, but I’m genuinely curious: if you want and need all this, why not use Java? Java has all the strong typing and static checking, all you need is to type a lot more words.

Not a word about command editing. Learn keyboard shortcuts to edit the current command line and you'll save years of your life. ESC-. (dot) will get the last argument of the last command. This one alone will save you months. CTRL-R wil

Do you know companies actually send data to Google (and Facebook) to target ads? Its common and help companies target clients with ads on the internet in general (YouTube, sites, etc). It works like that: - The Chemist wants to sell things

Sorry, I meant "was the obvious choice". But the sad path is exactly that. Great solution. Too complex. Oblivion.

Kubernetes might follow the sad path of spring. Perfect, complete and too complex. For big and great applications, spring if the obvious choice. It makes incredible complex and difficult things easy. But, unfortunately, makes simple and qui

Cows tend to pass where other cows passed. Herd behaviour. Something like a real world effort optimisation. No use trying to optimise in a week using one brain something that found a local minima (or maxima) over years and multiple people.
