Thought experiment: imagine installing Windows 10 on your newly acquired Mac Book Pro. Now you have spent a minimum of 1500€ for barely functional hardware and half-asses software designed for tablets with build-in ads. The state of avail

No, there are not. Top-down right-left, right-left top-down, left-right top-down, boustrophedon, "filling the available space (hieroglyph)" and that's it. I never heard of a writing system going bottom to top.

I hate this kind of article where you have no source and no reference to anything related to the object presented in it. As a learner of Sumerian language, I would have loved a link to the transcription of the text on the object or a link t

Yes the names are good but they still suffer for the MS illness: they change every few years. I also agree with other comments about the portal UI. Heck, it's supposed to be a professional tool...

These are the same diploma as the non-remote ones. Typically you have to take an on-site exam once a year. I’m not sure if it is indicated anywhere that classes was provided online, so it should be totally the same. And yes it requires the

You can but most of the time, especially with Linked Data, an URL is required. And sometime even a dereferencable one. So you have this weird situation where you never really know if an URL is "semantic" (just a string actually) o

Tl;dr: dude works in school where they use Google Docs, which run better in a desktop web browser than the corresponding iOS app.

What interest would such a switch brings on the table? I can't see any, except reducing diversity in the computer landscape.

Did you try SQL Server in a container? It's way more easy to get up and running than installing it on Windows. https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server

Totally true. Actually even more modern buildings are made to be (somewhat) cool in summer and no care at all is done about winter. So each room/apartment is warmed individually using air-conditioner instead of having a central heating
