I see the problem more in the fact, that a lot of publishers try to squeeze out some ad money from every single blank space still left on the page and fill it with third party services where they have no control over the actual booking. It

I worked for the biggest swiss news site, which also had an option to disable ads for a story in the CMS. In this case, it wasn't an acknowledgement that ads are invasive and uncomfortable in general, the problematic ads were those sho

I think people correct the blue to white, since for some reason they mentally assume the picture is taken outside illuminated by daylight where shadows can have a bluish tinge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow#Color

I'm one of the light blue/gold people and couldn't image seeing black anywhere. But when I look at the picture upside down I see it as blue/gold and when I mask the lower half, as blue/black with a gold touch. http

I've spent the last 4 months working from Medellin and 10 months in total from various places in Colombia. It's not a tech hotspot as the article might suggest with cafes full of people sipping latte and working on the next big th

Pumapunku was built thousands of years after the pyramids in egypt. Plenty of time for banging rocks together to determine which one is the harder and figuring out that using flat stones and sand is great for polishing.

In my opinion phonetics are way underrated in language learning, especially with those learning it on the go while traveling. I always encourage other travelers to focus on pronunciation and getting rid of ones native language accent right
758.

Yes, but consequently, you'd have to pronounce the cities of e.g. Spain and France or the Swiss breakfast invention Müesli correctly as well instead of adapting them to German. In my opinion beeing understood is more important than bee

Since the company name themselves uber without umlauts, there is not really a reason to spell it with ü, it's not a german word anymore. Still, I pronounce uber as über when speaking in german because it does sound idiotic otherwise. S

I would put all messages in variables at the top of the file or even in a separate one and print them in the appropriate places. Having multi line prints in functions add a lot of noise in my opinion. When i read code, i dont normally care

I personally don't like this style of using multiple strings. Makes radical changes of the text cumbersome. I think in most cases it's better to use triple quotes. And if the content of these variables isn't exclusively shown

I can really recommend the open source gitlab for self hosting repos. I have been running it on a ec2 micro instance for 5-10 people over years without a single problem. https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq

We're not directly voting against it. The referendum is carefully titled "Swiss law before foreign law" which would include the human right convention among every international law. The Advocates emotionally argue that the sw

Yes your right. But i'm swiss, so a lot of countries dont really feel democratic to me:) Not enough power for the people – too much for those elected. On the other hand, we, the people are soon to vote whether Switzerland should termin

I really like the idea of summarizing various source in infobitt. But I think it still suffers from some points outlined in "News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier" [0]. E.G. not living in the states,

In my opinion, parcelling out software development in a modular way doesn't work that great neither if you don't have guidelines, api definitions – community enforced styles of doing things. I think, the same thing works with visu

In Colombia, there are two competing companies that are doing that within all major cities. Uber like apps but with the normal existing taxis. Interestingly, their massive popularity doesn't seem to be because of ease of use, but secur

I totally agree with the 5%, that's why I never used Django before for a real project and preferred Flask mostly. But for this project it made sense since I'm using almost all of its documented features and some undocumented ones

Don't know about other languages, but in german this phrase is pretty common when there is no clear yes or no answer. Like "yes to some extend but not completely"

Never start a real project with a deadline with a framework nobody in your team knows. Especially if you consider the language it is written in "not fun". The same thing would have happend to some degree with any other choice. E.G

In 2008 I had to get a biometrical passport because my flight back from Costa Rica went through Miami. The passports where at a pilot phase so they were twice as expensive and only valid for 5 years. Once in Miami they didn't had the

One of the reasons biometric passports spreaded so fast, was because the US required all foreign passport issued after 2006 to be biometric as specified by the International Civil Aviation Organization. Within the EU (or Schengen Area to be

I guess as a founder without a significant amount of money to invest it's hard to stay in almost any foreign country. At least the Blue Card makes it at easy as possible for people, who got employed there.

That's why I wrote "like the EFF". I figured, when you life in a country where you actually can get sued for things like that, there must/should be an organisation or site one can use as a middleman. I wasn't aware

How about passing the information to someone like the EFF and let them inform the owners? The OP said he used a form for reporting security vulnerabilities on the site. Does he still have to be afraid to get sued in such a case?

In my opinion if you have a site that mainly consits of text (e.g. News sites, blogs) you should never interfere with scrolling behaviour. Lazy loading content is ok, but please keep dynamic stuff to a minimum. Because I'm traveling I&

I think you should be suspicious with any content, sponsored or not. Always check multiple sources before forming and opinion. In my opinion, an article that is influenced by the political view of the writer or the editor is exactly as bad
