The Final Fantasy series has spawned a lot of "stories" like this one over the last 30 years.
A notable one being related to the MMO Final Fantasy XI, with the "Maat's cap" item being created by Square Enix to praise a player who achieved the maximal level on every job available in the game. Which back then needed hundreds of days of slow and frustrating grind.
It's a pity how little most people know Mark Twain. He was so much more than the guy who wrote Tom Sawyer. He had many different and uncommon lifes in his life...A lot of inspiring things too.
His 3 volumes autobiography is a long but amazing read, just like his letters. But my favorite is "Life on the Mississippi". All this is close to 2000 pages but it's worth reading.
>Ads should be strictly regulated and the Internet should be completely free and open
While I completely agree with you on both points, I'm afraid both things that are mutually exclusive :(
I'm not sure the world needs a new markup syntax, especially an awkward mix of HTML and Markdown. But I could be missing the point, since I just base this on my own needs.
But thing is, talking about performance and scale goes exactly against your project's credibility. These are pretty much the two dumbest criterias when it comes to markup syntaxes.
Do they do that ? And why exactly do they do that ?
My beloved book. My kids books. My cat.
The advice you might get here are worthless compared to a few hours talking to a shrink.
To me the fact you'd eat a pizza with bbq sauce is already disturbing. It has to be one of the biggest sources of sugar in existing savoury sauces.
What's wrong with tomato sauce ?
> visual quality
When it comes to food --and specifically fruits and vegetables-- visual aspect is not a good indicator of taste or nutrition value. I would actually argue the opposite.
It seems sad to me that the same people who pretend to be "hackers" are puzzled by a situation like this one.
Binary patches are a perfectly normal thing, may it be from Microsoft or a random company.
Excellent point.
Hopefully someday a "lean webpages" movement appears.
Progress is not in the absence of taxes. Progress is in a fair and efficient use of the taxes money.
Definitely. And it would also help "real" states if they started to play nice, by paying their taxes where they're due.
But I think the over-the-top tax optimisation is actually what will ultimately cause them to lose their power (aka boycott by users, huge financial penalties from "real" states, or break-into-pieces scenario a-la-Standard-Oil) someday.
Commands like cat, cut, sort, uniq and awk are still pretty relevant nowadays. Even on huge volumes of data.
OneNote works wonders for me.
CSS :
{
user-select: none;
}
Hundreds of people opened their home in October 2015 after the huge rainstorm and floods in Cannes and Biot. Several supermarket (Carrefour and Intermarché for sure) delivered tons of food to the people there.
Hundreds of people opened their home on July 14 2016 after the terrorist attack in Nice. Same in Paris before that. And same in Barcelona this summer.
While it's true that American people jump into action, it's just wrong, and immensely disrespectful of the people who helped, to say the same doesn't happen in France or in other countries.
I stumbled on that book a few days ago, but the readers' comments seemed to imply the whole book was a heavy dramatization. Is it, in your opinion ?
> In other words, why graph income and not wealth?
I think it's because people's wealth is really hard to estimate. The border between people's assets and their companies', foundations' and what not are usually blurry enough that you would get a graph that shows no insight.
Although income is not a great KPI, at least there are reliable methods to figure it out, or at least make estimates with a quite acceptable precision.
While I like the idea of having open source alternatives to the popular applications, this one is a pure and simple copy of Trello. This is a bit too much IMO.
> Is it a sinking ship? Only if we're not up for the challenge of fighting back corporations that want to lock the web being walled gardens. Time will tell, but someone should fight the good fight, even if it's a lost cause.
It definitely is a fight worth fighting. And most people will agree that having several good web-browser options is important.
What bothers me is the strategy that Mozilla used, to try and compete with Chrome by giving Firefox users a browser that looks like, and feeling like Chrome.
I wouldn't want to work for an organisation who makes such ill-advised choices.
How would you know what you missed, since you missed it ?
I do! And it mostly worked. And was quite good for transfers, no matter how mall or big the file was.
Your question is not retarded at all. FFMpeg IS the best tool to build a Thumbnail extraction service.
Over-engineering is sometimes quite fun, though.
I have to say I was pretty disappointed at Google for pushing their "use the iPhone Gmail app" popup to me : They have plenty of data about my usages, and it was easy enough to figure out I never owned an iPhone, or accessed any of their services using an iPhone.
Since you can basically run anything that fits inside a container, the comparison with AWS Lambda doesn't seem relevant to me.
If you really want to draw a comparison with AWS product, it's pretty much a serverless EC2 ECS.
I wish there was a way to know how many evil-doers cancelled their evil plans after reading that kind of MOTD.
Those are great choices as well.
Rennes is kind of a pain to get to, when coming from abroad, but the town and the people there rock !
