also a wordpress theme ! (salient)
many wordpress themes do that, go figure why.

ok but here you are really advocating kubernetes, not docker.

with a polished UI it could be better, the protocol and options support are fine.

> That’s the equivalent of writing type annotations for programming functions. And the goal is avoiding bugs instead of logical contradictions.

mh, given Curry–Howard correspondence, aren't those the same? so the goal is indeed not having logical contradictions?

Re:Ways to Read More Books on Saturday May 06, 2017 @12:29PM (#14280968)
the deal breaker for me is actually picking up a new book to read, often I stop at the "searching a good book to read". when you start often is inertia.
"Drupal is insecure", why?
Re:Box Breathing on Sunday January 29, 2017 @06:05AM (#13513607)
TIL: The longest time breath held voluntarily (male) is 24 min 3.45 secs and was achieved by Aleix Segura Vendrell (Spain).

How is that thing even possible? your body would work in an entirely different manner!

Re:Container Tabs on Saturday January 21, 2017 @03:41PM (#13452023)
the thing I blame is that ctrl+t on a container opens a new tab of the default container and not the one that is currently on focus.
Re:Container Tabs on Saturday January 21, 2017 @03:39PM (#13452004)
there are extensions like switchy that handle the UX part in a reasonable way.
Re:A Guide to Deep Learning on Tuesday January 10, 2017 @12:16PM (#13366580)
deep learning is where databases where 20 years ago.

you can easily imagine putting data in a db like server, and querying that data asking things about that model in respect to other things at your disposal in different times.

Re:Reasons not to use Skype (2012) on Saturday January 07, 2017 @12:27PM (#13345268)
why are people downvoting this?
Re:Reasons not to use Skype (2012) on Saturday January 07, 2017 @10:59AM (#13344713)
Piggybacking the question to state a general info:

There are voip operators like the italian mtalk that give you free local national numbers, free calls between users of the same provider, but the call is not encrypted.

This have the good thing that anyone can choose the preferred provider, you can receive calls also from "traditional" phones.

A phone number is like a mailbox, it's clearly provider independent, but sadly it's often non free calling between different operators.

Re:Reasons not to use Skype (2012) on Saturday January 07, 2017 @10:46AM (#13344649)
the begin of the conversation is a bit lacking though, you need to wait few seconds and few "do you hear me?" tests. I don't use it often but happened not hearing the other side in the middle of the conversation, need to investigate this further.
Re:Why Wordpress? on Sunday January 01, 2017 @07:10PM (#13298175)
can we talk about the action/filter hell, the mess that is wp_query and the hackish way to get structured data integrated in wp (see acf for example)? digital agencies loves wp, and you will always get to use it in a non blog way with messy plugins and themes, and this is a pain.
