For 1 million images, it's $1500 across all, but as you scale to 5m images, the prices must differ.

Respectfully, I would like to call out your reply as somewhat ignorant. Do you consider a dignified life as one spent living on the dole? Surely not!? This project could well create an industry that brings prosperity and investment to a num

How do you propose it should do that? By giving people handouts? By giving people terrible jobs in sweatshops? Or perhaps by inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators? Even those in the slums without any fancy education will

Federer was ripping his backhand to Rafa's forehand - this is not what Federer usually does, and it unsettled Rafa. On grass, a ripped single handed backhand zips through the court and is hard to deal with. Rafa usually runs round anyt

Interesting point. Never thought about the area behind baseline, but it's a very valid point. I think you're correct that it gives him time, which given his speed lets him return even more. I'm personally not a fan of the und

Strange article. The point around controlling only 50% - what the heck does that even mean?! As a tennis player, you know there are many variables at play in each rally. This sort of simplistic analysis tells us pretty much nothing. In my

I suppose that's a fair point. I just hate how Apple are holding browsers back in terms of PWA support. If they allowed Chrome or Firefox to have their own engines, we could at least have push notifs on iOS with PWAs. Not to mention th

I have used parts of that book at university, and have a reasonable grasp on parts of it. I assume it serves more as a reference, as you carry out more practical exercises?

They can also be more difficult to refactor and adjust at a later date. This can be especially problematic if you're in an environment where logic needs to be altered rapidly in response to changing external conditions/requirement

That has become one of my favourite quotes - thanks for sharing. Reminds me of my grandad, who used to tell me "Study like a scholar. Play like a champion." before he dropped me at school!

Cheap data is probably the driver of this, but I've noticed a number of my friends and family from India love to send picture messages, videos and GIFs every morning to ALL of their contacts, simply wishing them "good morning frie

Genuinely curious, why, as a gamer, do you have a ton of PDFs?

With the advent of larger smartphones, I use my tablet less and less. I know they're not great now, but perhaps foldables will kill tablets all together? It may actually be a smart move to unbloat the product lines a little.

I have always been a slow reader. My younger siblings would often finish books or articles a lot faster than me. Turns out, I'm a more careful reader than them - I would spot spelling mistakes in text where they would miss them. They&#

If they want us to pay, they MUST provide dev tools that are as good as Chrome's, if not better. My team builds a lot of PWAs, and Firefox simply did not provide good enough diagnostic tools, so we couldn't use it in earnest (even

Even $124.60 seems high for moving a number from one place to another! I'm kidding of course, but we do live in a world where transaction costs bolster some of our biggest businesses. Not sure if that's a good thing.
