I'd guess most editors do. Have you found an editor that doesn't?

Seems fair to lump in with the rest since it was in fact an illegal market place.

Here's a very simple web client I wrote if you want to give Stockfish a whirl: https://chessui.com/

Shameless plug I know but I'm posting it for those who want to give it a shot against stockfish.

Agreed. It doesn't sound like any practical application is ready with this approach.

EDIT:

The link was only a preview. It links back to their site now. Kinda defeats the purpose of using Periscope.

They have a periscope link open https://www.periscope.tv/TeslaMotors/1ynJOXkmWdZxR

Schiller's comments are out of touch with the reality many people face but the author took the Schiller's comments way too personally.

ch8230 | 10 years ago | on: Exotic four-neutron no-proton particle confirmed

Agreed. Until they eliminate other possibilities then it is not confirmed.

the fact that it took you a few seconds to look for the icon is evidence of re-design failure

Its a meltdown of brand identity that occurred during the redesign.

They are experiencing reliability issues which is why Consumer reports said they cannot recommend the Tesla Model S. http://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla-reliability-doesnt...

Agreed on Lambda latency costs. I've used it to process API calls and I noticed it can add almost half a sec to the response or sometimes even longer.

According to the article NATO is holding an emergency meeting in brussels so I wouldn't say this is a story hyped up by social media. It's a sign that things are getting very messy and have major potential for escalation.

Eventually you just hear "New version of our app rewritten from the ground up" when it all becomes one big pile of technical debt.

What keywords do you think the interviewer was looking for? Was it along the lines of "disruptive", "game-changing", "innovative", etc.?

I agree - I kept looking around the page for more details. The landing page seems too basic to sell me on a subscription.

There's a documentary being made about Yelp's strong arming: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1299637435/billion-doll...

I heard a business owner complained that yelp was showing mostly bad reviews after he refused to pay. So that's only anecdotal evidence but there seems to be more of it out there.

Flickr gives you 1TB of photo storage free but their app has been lacking the seamless integration with the OS and apps that Apple is promising.

ch8230 | 11 years ago | on: The day I was DoSed by Google

But don't you think the bot has already stopped crawling the site due to it being unavailable? That's probably gonna hurt too.

ch8230 | 11 years ago | on: A redesign of the Django websites

It looks nice! I do agree with others who are saying that a page with docs shouldn't have this much white space as it makes it harder to read.
