I'm not sure I understand the question. Drupal is a headless CMS if you want it to be. Do you mean what would be a reason for using Drupal's front-end over developing your own? I came to Drupal from managing community sites with l

Drupal is a great CMS framework. With Drupal and a capable development team, you can use Drupal to build an awesome CMS, and if you want to, also an awesome website on top of the CMS. Drupal is not a great piece of software to try to use ou

I wonder how much the demand for this vehicle has changed since it was first announced. I was definitely on the bandwagon from this thing from the first time I saw it. Four years of Elon's dumb antics and I now absolutely will not spen

Can we please stop treating GitHub like it's an open platform? It's not. It's a closed, walled garden like every other one. The fact that they host a bunch of open source projects you use doesn't make them better; if any

> It’s returning money to investors I believe the parent commenter's point was exactly this. Giving money to the investor class and expecting it to benefit everyone is the definition of trickle-down economics.

I went on a microcrusade of sending correction requests last week after a series of articles (coincidentally, also in North Carolina and also about macrobiology) were published about a chigger-borne illness coming to the state, but all of t

I'm guessing this is to avoid running into licensing issues with the photos? Or just trying to make it easier for people to not have to use a different app to upload their shots? Or maybe just to make the associated bandwidth someone e

It's especially misleading with that $54M part; obviously when people see that and the word Oracle, they assume this was all from one database license. /s

Interesting. I started on the other side, as a Google Music subscriber years ago and only realized how much I appreciated YouTube Red later on. Of course, as soon as my credit card date needed to be updated, they kicked me off of the introd

Yep. I meant now that Mint is going away, I won't have a tool to do that. For me the risk was acceptable because it was read-only access from a very small number of institutions. But those institutions have changed over the 15 years I

I came here to say exactly this. I don't need a budgeting tool, I need a single pane of glass that aggregates all of my accounts across multiple financial institutions and lets me run very basic reports against them. That's it. Th

You're right, I phrased that too generically. What I mean is that they provide enough information to pair your first-party data with "anonymous" web traffic matched to the account level with enough granularity to line up the

There are a lot of companies selling exactly this service. In some cases, they're able to do it pretty easily, because most people don't actually make any effort whatsoever to remain anonymous. And in a B2B setting, there's a

I think a lot of people forget this long, slow rollout. Even after most major libraries were ported, it took even longer to be able to count on every dependency having a Python 3 version available. RHEL didn't default to Python 3 until

I can't wait for e-paper to get cheaper for consumers, but I'm not looking forward to the inevitable increase in advertising displays this will accommodate when it does.

I'm surprised at how many people took the bait to treat this as an either/or proposition. One criteria of evaluation is never sufficient to make a good decision - why not ask both? A smart consumer reads the product label and th

Easy - just build everything on top of "enterprise" platforms that offer indemnification clauses. Then nothing is ever your fault, it's always the vendor.

Anyone who thinks that managers can be replaced with AI this easily has only ever had terrible managers. To be fair, though, a lot of people I know have only ever had terrible managers.

I have stopped using them for goods with an expiration date, and have severely curtailed my other purchases. It's a crap platform. I hope for a future where their monopoly position is litigated away so that there is a fair marketplace

I do hope it's a fair and living wage for whomever is receiving it. That said, I absolutely would take a significant pay cut to get to work on a project I cared about again. Golden handcuffs are not absolute.

"Tip" probably isn't the word anyone here would use, because they're not calculating a specific percentage. In practice, though, "keep the change" is something you'd be likely to hear at one.

My point is that this view of the "general population" is extremely skewed. I would wager that more than half of smartphone users do not have any use case for their phone aside from calling, texting, and scrolling social media. De

The headline says "Detroit man" but the article goes on to provide zero indication that the thief is a man or from Detroit.
