This is so true. I love go so much, because deployment is so easy, but using it for end-user web content is a real PITA.

Replace "sex" with "food" and you just described French culture.

Very interesting article. I'm upper middle class and really like strength training, but not in a bodybuilding kind of way. I don't want to get big, I want to get/keep reasonably muscular, for the reasons stated in the article

I like to be able to remove spaces in complex expressions, for readability issues. For instance, this : t[x] = t[x-1] + t[x-2] looks more readable to me than this : t[x] = t[x - 1] + t[x - 2] Another example : y = a*

I am really amazed at how much we talk about that 3 act structure. Basically, it says, well, you have a beginning, and then a middle, and then the story ends. Not very helpful for writers, and it is not even descriptive. If only it told you

In such a masterpiece as "and then there were none", which is by far the most sold mystery book ever, Christie chose to ignore 4 of these rules, at the very least. For instance (I mention this one because this is not a spoiler),

His books were very dry and quite boring because of this. He is more known for these rules than for his novels, which says a lot. Most of the great mystery writers (especially Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr) violated several of these

It can be very hard in highly niched domains. Very niched products typically have a high price / low number of customers profile, meaning you want to really be sure the product is right for you, but won't find any (or very little)

Why offer free accounts if you don't want to support them? If google decided to close gmail or youtube without any prior notice, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be pissed of, and rightly so.

Well, first, I'm not necessarily the best copywriter in the world ;) Now, you can be much more "under the radar", and focus a little more on technical features, but still from the user's perspective. Look at rust's

by sacado2 8y ago
It depends. The secret is first to address the customers' problems, then detail technical features. First, hook you with emotions, then shut your critical brain with facts. For instance, look at rust's landing page at https:&#x2F

You're not trying to sell 7zip. Imagine 7zip is a $1000 software. Would that page make you buy it? Now, starting every sentence with "you" is a bit odd, but the general idea is to focus on the user's problem rather than

Avoiding personalized tracking of unregistered users means you can't use Google Analytics or something equivalent. Not that it's impossible per se, but these tools have a strong added value, so...

If it's too artificial, that's right. But, answering the question "why am I blogging about that? Why is that important?" is a great way to start an article. And, most of the time, you can do it with a story-like setup.

I'm not an eldery, and I prefer a jack socket. I just don't get the benefit of bluetooth in most situations. Jacks are more reliable and definitely plug-and-play. Unless it has a physical failure, your jack socket always just work
