   When did you last write a project in PHP? Your thoughtsmight have been valid ten years ago, but they aren't now. fwiw, I find the PHP stdlib more complete than many other languages.

   There is a very popular service in Sweden for exactly this. By freely embedding a tracking image on your website, you can see a listing of government, media and news agencies and which sites they visit: https://gnuheter.com/

   Fair point, but I think my meaning did not come across correct. Most articles today can be substituted with lower-cost versions of the same articles (news/reviews are good examples of this). There's your fungibility. Regardless th

   I don't really understand the service - is it standard Git hosting? (Just like GitHub / GitLab?) In that case, I think you're kind of missing the point of the linked post, which was about running Git locally as opposed to in

   Micropayments on that level are a race to the bottom. Why read The Times content when you can be presented with a similar article written by some blogger. And why would media companies give Twitter any percentage of the cut? Twitter already

   This pretty much combines the three things big media companies hate: - Someone else owning and displaying their content. - Someone else owning data on their viewers. - Not being able to set their own prices. For those reasons, I don't

   Why is Ethereum a joke? It seems to do exactly what you are trying to, and you just discount it?

    What if the border agent takes your phone outside? It would go something like: > Tell me your password > OK, not sit here while I go out to unlock your phone.

    This smells of NIH to me. You built a presentation layer for WP in Ruby because that's what you are comfortable with. There's nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend that you are building anything other than (possibly) use

    Can you extend Kirby with custom content types and fields to represent arbitrary things, ie a list of team members or pricing plans?

    Good observation. Some of them appear to be debug packages (console, debug, var-dumper) and the others seem to be quite basic stuff (routing, http handling) that is good to reuse, and is also likely something you'll have in your Symfon

    In the case of Laravel vs Symphony, I think it can. Laravel packs absolutely everything you need to build a web app while still being less than half the size of Symphony, which has a lot less out of the box and expects a litany of third par

    Sounds like a best-case scenario, those drones fly pretty high and are very heavy. Sounds more likely that it would be a fatality.

    I see the test flight conveniently took place over farmland. What happens when one of these has a mid-flight failure and hits someone over the head?

    That's a vendor problem though, consider it a lesson learned and stick to a well-known line with good OS support. I got burned myself when purchasing the first-gen Lenovo Yoga - tons of custom drivers that work poorly on Windows 10.

    You forget that Windows 10 is a stable and well-rounded OS that also lets you run some software Linux can't.

    Google Fit would probably be the smartest choice, because it has support for different hardware vendors. For example, Withings has Google Fit integration so you'd get their range for free.

    You can set up a Subsonic server, there are multiple apps like DSub and the official Subsonic app which are very polished. http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp https://play.google.com/store/apps

    I don't think you are right, because nobody has succeeded at the scope you have suggested - never mind local papers, even prestigious publications like TIME are having a very tough time, which I doubt is a "branding/marketing

    Currently working at a major publishing house, I wish more people shared your sentiment. The news may not be perfectly unbiased, but at least it's fact-checked and not malicious. From what I gather nobody has any idea how traditional p

    Isn't increased complexity as codebase grows a basic rule of all computer programs? And don't say microservices are exempt - you'll have the same complexity on the tooling side.
