I still remember the "Visual" craze of the 90s when everybody was going to be able to make applications without writing code. Visual Basic 6 wasn't even too esoteric, it could have happened already if it was a thing.

After a decade and half we had to restrict our public side and reorganize our old TED content because scrappers were really hungry for assorted captioned videos. If you have anything of value for training you get eaten alive if you stick ou

Well 2010 PHP and the frameworks at the time were still going through the 5.x desert journey, and the prospects weren't entirely clear with the cancellation of PHP 6, so you wouldn't fault your 2010 self for not trying to push som

Some specialized models may end solving themselves by helping fit the problem with the appropriate regular algorithms/formulas, which are a million times more efficient. So they are probably less attractive to dump money on. As of curr

I think it's partly because of where they come from to the problem. I have education/experience in both literature and coding, I have a pragmatic starting point when approaching text while also being able to recognize stylistic od

A lot of what would be the top "reference" works aren't even that good either, they were a successful marketing phenomenon or had cultural or social relevance at their time. So, you can get a lot of bad prose going by a numbe

Most places where people do their weekly groceries in Spain have at least a small book section if not a bookstore by the entrance. It's a typical thing to bring over to the beach or a weekend trip that doesn't matter if it gets da

Solar pressure would be a small factor too, though I assume it's not a big deal compared with orbital speeds.

A lot of styling is done still in the old Advanced Substation subtitle format, which is nice in a whole number of ways but doesn't have any standards working group behind and so it's a bit ignored in software and operations. Peopl

The amount of calls on some pages displaying the simplest stuff is mind-boggling. 160 requests for a page just displaying a HTML5 video and a title, 360 requests for a Reddit page, it's nuts. We don't need to be like this.
