My knowledge of Elxir is the little I learned at a 3 hour meetup showing how to build a basic chat app, I am looking forward to learning more about it, and similar languages. I wonder if most shared hosting plans would ever allow these kind

"and what they believe Google still delivers." - I think this is huge issue, and one that is going to take a lot of re-educating people. I constantly tell people DO NOT TRUST THE FIRST RESULTS IN GOOGLE - it's often a pa

Privacy Policy for VS code makes me glad that Google doesn't own it. With so many people mentioning it here, I decided to look it up, looks nice. The privacy policy links to an actually nice and extra thoughtful, 'opens your eyes

While I think it's great that so much tracking is possible, I need to point out that many things can skew that as well. eg - person A is going to get onto walmarts site and buy 2 things. They do a G search and click the first result an

I use wordpress. add a plugin from the repo "simply static" - generate the html files. download, then ftp. It's not elegant and lean like the others - but it's saved me a ton of time for the use cases I've used it f

I think in some areas google is being pressured by various govts. However in many areas they are self censoring for different reasons by different people and groups of people within the G sphere. Both are bad and are going to far IMO. I und

The ones I have interacted with were nothing like you say here. There was this one that came from another city one time that was probably like that, but he did not last long in this city. I suppose the environment they have to work in has v

Loved the lama and the auto fade with winamp. When streamripper plugged into it and worked - those were the best days. Now if yahoo would give musicmatch jukebox 7.5 back to the world I could DJ like it's 1999 and be happy again.

Google is the worst of these right now IMO, only because fbook has agreed to change some things recently. I am looking for a group of people to start a competing search portal to take about 20% of the google search and do it better. I'

Depends on which govt. I am no expert, but being a news junky the past few years I would think that Germany may side with censoring, and I would hope that the US would push for free speech above all else. The UK is looking at pushing google

Thank goodness I have found two static page generators in the wp plugin repo that actually work - I have now converted about 20 wordpress sites into static html pages and pulled the php files all down. I could do more, but some of these sit

and stats on how many times these minify and unminify sites have been used would be interesting. I've used them more than a dozen times. Some sites get the minification just to ramp up a google pagespeed number - not really for the end

Any investment in open source makes me happy, especially if there are 5 zeros or more, that means things can get done for a while, which makes things better, longer. The Riot IM site confuses me a bit, I had thought it was an open source cl

Pretty sure I commented on a similar article years ago that came up with a figure around $75 per phone additional cost. No idea how they got that figure, and perhaps it's a number that is only achieved if it were all phones being made
