That’s kind of interesting approach. Assuming that there is only one place where information is stored it’s easy/easier to control access to it. Later down the road it will be also much easier to enforce control since as all the data e

Isn't this the exactly case, though? It's not about how infectious it is, but how severe. Early reports said that 90% or more [1] people develop symptoms and that the average death rate is 3.5% (with some outlets even suggesting 1

That depends on ones philosophy. It's a driver vs passenger issue. Big companies such as Netflix, Disney etc. are drivers, they have impact on the user base. If Netflix stopped working on Apple's devices we would see huge outflow

I don’t think it’s fair to use Netflix as an example. Netflix is big enough to make their own rules. We don’t see internal business arrangements but I wouldn’t be surprised if there would be flat fee between Apple and Netflix to settle that

AFAIK XBox and Playstation partially fund exclusive game development and for non-exclusive games the risk is somewhat smaller. I heard few stories about the devs bouncing off the Oculus store though. There aren't many games, so it&#x27

I never personally used Turbolinks but I heard rather unflattering opinions about it. Basecamp/37signals has a long history with Rails so probably they know its ins and outs. Is it feasible to work as - let's say - solo developer

There is already comment about this, yet I'll allow myself to reinforce that: Do not approach anything without consulting lawyer first. Even if you see an advice that sound reasonable, don't follow it without consulting a lawyer.

After downloading the DB and deselecting "Allegedly Armed" there are 281 records so only 1/4th. Not being US resident or citizen I wonder if this is the effect of the gun availability. Just few weeks back I was listening to a

I, as many others, never personally liked Dr. Stallman and didn’t agreed with many of his views. That being said, the way that that happened is absolutely terrifying. Fact, that people rather crucify someone instead of argue, explain or pro

Yes. Elixir and Phoenix are wonderful and still my favorite language/framework and they are still backing things. For front end I wanted to move back to Ember since I had a lot of positive experience with it but that was impossible due

Stack described above is the one I’ve been working on for professionally for the last year and I wouldn’t recommend it. Main reason is the absurd amount of complexity with costs heavily outhweighting benefits gained from the solution. For e

I'd like to point out, that you shouldn't link energy with productivity but instead of how compatible person is with the workflow. I can have a lot of energy, but be totally unproductive. Good example are students, who (usually) d

It’s not really time management, but rather energy management thing. Every thing that you do is going to leave you with either energy gain or loss. The idea is to either sustain energy level or spend what you have then gain it - just like c
