Great point. Business as usual. I guess the downsides were heavily subsided by the fact that african countries don't really have much to gain from it nor do they (meaning their leaders) have any will to do so.

Seems such a small gain with potentially huge downside with African countries distancing themselves from China. And so sloppily done too...

Here's some of my personal experience how I have learned to study better in university: While reading through your material, take notes. Moreover take notes that make sense to you . Don't copy something for the sake of it if you

@rockinghigh #1 In paper yes it seems so. But quick googling shows me this page http://jukka-pekkakukkonen.puheenvuoro.uusisuomi.fi/223502-u... In which the guy goes through finnish Uber TOS which states that Uber is not li

Here's a second-hand account of why Uber is terrible and should be regulated heard from a finnish taxi driver a week ago: 1) Probably all of the Uber drivers are uninsured in the case of accident. Good luck getting your hospital bill c

Man I dislike R for its syntax. It does a terrible disservice to people who start coding in R and then think that they "know programming" while they have missed most of the basic programming paradigms any "normal" progra

Very impressive! Works well, nice UI, informative. After doing a couple exercises what I don't like is the naming convention. Something like "montlymaintenance" or "recommendedby" are just hard to read and type and

Google should use it for Google Analytics. That dashboard is terrible. A beautiful, polished turd is how I often describe it. Just as an example: try to add a new property to an analytics account. The whole ABCD naming of the menus also bug

Very impressive engineering on the whole stack. The question that arises to my mind is, maybe even too much engineering? Hard to understand the architecture when there is so many moving parts which makes me not want to use it for my own stu

R is a great tool but terrible programming language. There is some basic fundamentals how programming language should work which R just disregards for the sake of being different. Okey indexes start at 1, I can get past that. Variables are

Yeah this might be handy for small stuff but it's way too naive for anything bigger than couple pages. I recently had to scrape some pictures and meta-data from a website and while scripts like these seemed cool they really didn't

Oh please. React itself might not be that difficult but thrown in couple overly engineered libraries like react-router and immutable.js and that poor beginner will start feeling a bulging Javascript fatigue in their foreheads. Once you get

There's bad developers who know algorithms and there's bad developers who don't. But I'd say that there's more of one than the other. So companies who haven't figured out a better way to weed out candidates sti

Nice! I will try it out as soon as I can but if it rids me of Immutable.js I will be so happy. Its API is so convoluted and you have to use .toJS() all the time since using get() is so clunky and while transforming value back to JS it will

This site is extremely jarring on mobile. Please whoever made this fix that table at least. It renders only two columns at the time and does it terribly.

If I would switch coding React from vanilla JS I'd probably go with ClojureScript. So how is this different/better from ClojureScript and why I should use this instead? Also 10x performance in what? Rendering? All-around code exec

There's a huge barrier for entry in programming for beginners so don't take it too hard on yourself if you feel you don't know how to get started. If you are interested in learning programming I'd advise you to surround

I agree that EU has too many bureaucrats inviting new ways to regulate things. Sadly it seems that it's the only way countries inside EU are going to have more uniform (and sane) laws. Without really no knowledge of the Google ruling i
