Microsoft's translation API has 1 million characters/month free version for text to speech with male/female voice. It is good enough quality and a good start for those who can not afford paying for Google's API.

"... it is not true. I have implemented web caching ..." As the quote says, it is not the implementing which is hard, it is the invalidating part that is little bit tricky. If you try to invalidate the cache in a strict manner, yo

It is little bit weird that we are hearing this from scientists but apart from that there is nothing wrong with what it says I think. Just because some people can not resist and drink responsibly, why should the company take the blame? Hav

I think i will continue using the Fish shell feature instead. It has this awesome feature of autocompleting your command with the bash history of yours. It is safe because it will autocomplete a command that you wrote before. Another cool t

Working with multifolders is a little bit tricky. As soon as you open 5+ files, sidebar gets really long that it is hard to go back and forth. Sublime has this plugin called SyncedSideBar which is kind of ok but gets too jumpy even when i p

I am not sure what you did not like about the argument. What is really useless of relating languages to programming languages?

by whizzkid 12y ago
The thing is, there are no perfect language, just like programming languages. You will always find advantages and disadvantages of them at some point. Yes, I agree with the author on the points that he is making, but comparing to other lang

I am using Sublime for programming and here is why i use it over Vim or Emacs or an IDE. Vim is "way to go" editor for me on remote connections to server. But on my local machine, vim requires lots of configuration in order to le

Little bit off topic but, if you use only <tab> to go to checkbox and press space to select it, it brings up the good old "type the text in the image" verification (distorted text). So it thought I was a robot and fallback i
