I had a little moment of hesitation before clicking on the link "Rich Roll" in the article..
Are you talking about VRML?
You don't know what sort of settlement is happening behind the scenes ..
That article wasn't the first broad mention. I remember reading about BuiltWith being an outstanding one man project a couple of years ago, so I am in fact surprised the copycats took so long to show up.
Germain?
Also, the wording is still ambiguous. How about this:
"German Interior Ministry raids Indymedia and shuts it down"

Have you tried SC2?
It requires some getting into, but the dynamics of the game and the relationships between different races and the tech tree is very well thought out (a well timed upgrade allows you to kill a given unit in 2 shots instead of 3, changing the balance dramatically).
In many ways, as an AoE1&2 fan, I find SC2 a good continuation of some of the best aspects of the RTS genre that requires both a tactical and strategic mind.

I have been looking for an alternative to the Google apps ecosystem, to support mailing, calendar, contacts and document editing, but most importantly it should allow me to have "guests" contributors to documents I can share with them.
Anybody knows of a company providing such a service?
What would hygienic mean in this context?

Can someone ELI5 how is this relating to, and complementing, Kubernetes? What does it do that Kube doesn't, and what does Kube do that Istio doesnt?
While I agree the grandparent's comment doesn't add much to the conversation, and even has many obvious answers, why is a more interesting question.
You are basically questioning if there is a need to change the status quo, or put in physics terms, why do you want to expend energy to move from the local stable point? What is the point with higher stability you want to reach, and what are the characteristics that make this point desirable and justify the energy expenditure?
How did you get to know all those things you're talking about? Where does one even start decrypting finance jargon and "possibilities"?
Out of all the African countries, why Rwanda?
Many comments here seem to miss the point. This is a sort of a template for a full-blown app based on their framework to speed up development amd illustrate using Total.js, more than a competitor to Slack, or even a "product".
They seem to have other templates such as a CMS.

Games like SC2, LoL and friends have a long loading time whenever you start a new game. What is it that is being downloaded, if the maps and the units are the same every time?
I don't mean to be condescending but the only thing I learned from this article is this 88% statistic (and the linked source timed out while trying to load it)
This seems like marketing speak at its finest, trying to land some of the readers' within the customer target demographic of this company.
Aha makes sense. Where do I sign up for updates? :-)
Looks interesting. Trying to install it on my phone gets me a "Your device is not compatible with this version" in Android's Play store.
What is it you are doing in this app that has special compatibility requiremrents?
My phone has a modern qualcomm flagship cpu and latest android.
I visited the website on mobile. Not much I could do as Chrome doesn't provide a software back functionality besides the system back button.
Thanks! I got a bit confused by the amount of content in the repo.
Where can one find a simple "Hello world" example of an app built upon Solid?
While the technology is impressive, I couldn't get over the fact that I can't leave this page using my back button without trying to outpace the browser.
Why do they even direct you somewhere else?
> Vowels are an afterthought to Arabic writing.
Are you an Arabic speaker? This claim is a bit stretched.
Yes, short vowels are written as diacritic symbols on consonants, which are often dropped from mass publications.
However, long vowels are an essential part of the language and they are indeed present as their own letters in Arabic.
Your comment made me wonder, could tools like prettier be the first step towards developer-customized code styles?
See it as views. Code could be stored in a minified (spaces and new lines are not necessarily saved), and then every developer in the team can view the code in any style he chooses. His code would then be committed using the underlying "minified" format, so that the next developer can pick up that code and view it in his own code style.
Does that even make sense? What could be the gotchas of such a thing?
The assumption here is probably based on the sleeping pattern of people.
