Organisations that have existing business processes to publish to print and pdf but now want to publish in responsive formata for mobile or even desktop web. Changing their process might be more expensive than paying a lot of money for them

I'm literally repeating words and phrases from the talk.

Please point out my - baseless assertions - gratuitous blanket personal attacks Right now it looks like that's what you're doing, because I don't see that in my comment. Did you watch the talk to the end? Edit: line breaks

Awesome talk. Especially connecting how leaving an entrenched mindset behind applies both to architecture and to diversity in our communities. And that our meritocracies are not as pure as we'd like to think.

Yeah while I think one of the hardest parts if a software developer's job (working at multiple levels of abstraction), that's literally the job. You're translating between the business and the sillicon. By all means restrict

This says it's very either or, and I think misses the point of a lot of nocode tools. One of the best measures of tools is their composability. Can you use this for what it's good at, and integrate that solution with another tool

Why a service and not a library? It looks like a great way for you to discover URLs but like a terribly slow way for people to avoid implementing robots.txt rules.

Wow. I literally just sat down to relax after building a cardboard prototype cat door fitting in my open window in winter. You just made me feel partly inferior, and partly like I'm in good company

Do we have any evidence that these issues are really the causes of people consuming news elsewhere? - Clickbait headings with misleading information Does this really put off more than about 10% of people? Even if people find it distasteful,

To be fair, erlang would have been the better choice here. Memory safety, concurrency and solid error handling all in one.

Erlang tends to have excellent cpu utilisation if you follow the most basic principles in Erlang and OTP. The question is if you cannor want to write better concurrent code by rolling it yourself.

I could make the reverse argument: bad frontend programmers who dont use the facilities available to separate concerns create unmaintainable spaghetti when good backend programmers who separate concerns properly produce beautiful maintainab

Why would a tech solution change matters? I mean yeah having it all in one place helps, but it's all out there already. What else is needed to make.it actually work?

How do we feel about this with regard to net neutrality? Are we ok with the blocking they choose to do here because we agree with them ethically in this case?

There's no question sails can move today's cargo volume. But the shape of the ships doesn't lend itself to sail power. I think these sails are specific to supporting other power. And the shape of today's ships is very mu

I don't think it's necessarily two fundamentally different personalities (unless I have multiple...which I might...) I grew up taking things apart, and I loved the courses where we build logic gates or modified compiler or interpr

I think it's as vague as it sounds. But the stereotype is probably something like translating rows to columns; or normalizing a column; or creating a composite column

Also look at kobo toolbox and kobo collect. They're based off the odk and forhub codebases I think. Kobotoolbox provides a useful interface for previewing your data and building forms. Also an api for pulling collected data into other
