I've worked on many Drupal sites, and I would say the sweet spot is a client who is going to budget $10k+.
Basically, under $10k budget means you should be looking at simpler, pre-baked solutions, like Wordpress, Squarespace, Shopify, Wix, static HTML, etc..
I've worked on Drupal projects from $25-250k+, and it can handle pretty much everything (sometimes requiring a lot of TLC tho).

There are so many contributed modules that can help build things out, but I always need some type of customizations requiring (usually a few) custom modules per project. It all depends... I did one project that had dozens of crazy features that we broke out into 70+ custom modules...

But yea, I would say the sweet spot is a customer who needs a pretty large site with a lot of functionality. My 2 cents anyway.
Baudrillard is fun every once in a while, but it's certainly not accurate to describe a controversial, notoriously abstruse poststructuralist philosopher as typical of "the French way of writing."
Usually we use this account. I just decided to create one for myself as well. Might be a mistake and sorry for that. Anyway I don't like if someone flags a post which people really like. Especially when it is about a real tool for developers by a startup.
I have to say, the quality of mainstream media coverage of the Middle East has gone up remarkably since 9-11. I think perhaps in the next fifty years or so we'll finally figure out how to handle the problems of the region with grace and magnanimity rather than hatred and endless warfare.
For a circuit meant to be used with a guitar or similar instrument, it is practical for many purposes to use a much lower sampling rate, e.g. 22 KHz. The frequency content beyond 10 kHz is quite limited. I have used conventional LTspice to simulate several vacuum tube guitar/bass/microphone preamps I have built, for example [1]. I am tempted to try a real-time A-B comparison of the actual device with a livespice simulation.

Hello Kevin,

In your article, I think there are 4 errors, which I surround with brackets:

1 This is a visual essay, which is [every] different.

2 [Everyone one] of those items is a piece of information.

3 Normally, it’s not ideal to show a slide with every potential [comeptitor] out on the market.

4 However, these logos represent how annoying it would be for users to get what they want [themsevles] using each of these companies.

Thanks for the article and design. (:
> A dingbat typeface can't be easily used within regular text of another typeface, which is by and large how emoji are used.

Are you confused? U+2701 UPPER BLADE SCISSORS is a Unicode codepoint, it can most definitely be used "within regular text of another typeface".

> I wonder if it's useful to think of pigeon learning like a machine learning algorithm -- after being shown examples of images that are classified according to some relatively simple but unknown boolean function, the pigeons can predict the value of that function on new examples.

Not sure about pigeons unless the images were simple enough, but crows, jays or parrots might be able to do that. My concern with pigeons is they might not have enough of the abstract/critical thinking abilities the other 3 bird species have. I could be underestimating them, but I'd probably put my bets on crows figuring it out before a pigeon. Though crows, jays and parrots are also smart enough to get bored after a while, so they might not be up to the task

New Caledonia Crows are smart enough to use "meta tools" where the tool they're using is only a step towards their end goal. They've been observed using smaller sticks to reach for a larger stick that will allow them to reach a piece of food. Crows (in general) also have awesome memories and will remember the faces of people who were mean or nice to them years later while also passing it on to their offspring (who have never seen this person before).

In a lab study, jays were shown to cache food if they knew they won't find food early in the morning the next day. If they knew they have a meal waiting for them the next day, they would cache less or not at all.

I know there's parrots that have been trained to open up locked boxes where certain randomly assigned locks are redundant. The parrots will ignore the redundant locks and only open the ones that are being used.

Obligatory Moby Dick chapter:

http://americanliterature.com/author/herman-melville/book/mo...

Click-bait titles dont' mean the article is crap. It's a good article with a clickbait title, plain as that. Clickbait is when some information is left out of the title in an obvious way such that readers will click in pursuit of that piece of information, rather than clicking it in pursuit of expanding on the headline.
This is a friendly reminder that the United States have sponsored ISIS when they were still considered freedom fighters against Assad. The United States also happily still do business with ISIS in that they are buying extremely cheap, under market value, oil and capital goods from Iraq exported by ISIS.

Of course, none of this is officially documented, just like how not a dollar its whereabouts, of the 40 billion dollar cash the United States sent to Iraq circa 2004, is documented.

It is no secret the United States have selectively supported "freedom fighters" and militant groups when they deemed that would be more productive for the petrodollar and their Zionist friends than putting their own boots on the ground. Saddam, Osama Bin Laden, Gadaffi, ISIS and countless of others have all been supported by the United States and their removal has always been justified either because they turned their back on the United States and their allies (with Zionists being the most prominent) - or because they could be replaced by a better/cheaper/more productive puppet.

That hypocrisy is one of the legitimate reasons we are often hated around the world. We talk about freedom and justice but we work behind the scenes to prop up tyrannies that are every bit as bad as the "enemies of freedom." We've been doing this for decades and it's destroyed any moral authority we might have once had in the world. That sort of trust, once destroyed, is hard to earn back.

Article rings true for me. Growing up in the Khaleej, I saw an increasing influence of the Salafi mindset around me. Maybe as a child I didn't pay attention to it, but in my teens and certainly visiting now after a decade, I see a very different, more conservative region.

Ah, no I was pointing out that the "argle bargle emoji are an insult to unicode" crowd were nowhere to be seen between the addition of dingbats symbols, geometric shapes or box drawing symbols circa 1991 and the integration of emoji in 2010, since which they have become strangely vocal.

I don't really understand the claim that generic programming is "shiny". It is an old idea that has been implemented many times. It's totally fine that the Go team left out generics – it's their decision – but denigrating people who lament that decision as shiny-chasing PL-enthusiasts is unfair.
What if the conditions that beget such practices are a religion? Then what do we do?
But to what agencies will they disclose the private keys?

We need a SSL system where there's both a CA-signed key and a self-generated and self-signed key. That would prevent both forged sites and CA-assisted snooping. CA-signed alone is vulnerable to Government wiretapping. Self-signed alone is vulnerable to site spoofing. Both together would provide some real security.

I agree, however given the limited scope of dingbats symbols and the (at the time) unlikeliness that it would grow significantly, I can understand the different reactions. Not to mention there weren't many forums for the general populace to disagree back in 1991.

Also, you're assuming more people = population growth; that's like Snapshat saying they're profitable because they have tons of users, but no revenue. You need a properly functioning economy as well as people to have growth (you need more than that, but that's all I included for simplicity sake).
One frustrating thing that the author gets wrong is labelling Iran the "Gray Daesh."

Iran has geopolitical conflict with the West, but it's a false equivalent of Saudi Arabia. Iran is a theocracy trying to control a population that growingly wants to be secular. Women in Iran go to university at higher rates than men, can drive, hold office, and vote. Life in Iran for a women is not perfect but is heaven compared to Saudi Arabia.

Iranian sponsored militias like hezbollah are in geopolitical conflicts as Iran wants more regional influence. They want regional islam. They are not trying to establish a global Shiite islamic state.

Like most things it comes down to money and power. Saudi plays ball with America economic hegemony and Iran does not. So rather than allying with the more moderate/educated nation with huge potential to be progressive, we ally with the one that is best for big business and willing to cede military control of the region to us.

The Iranian theocracy is fucked, don't get me wrong. But we really have our priorities in a mess.
If I want an accurate view of life in a foreign country, the last people I would ask are ex-patriots.
I went to a school in the North West with a large international program. A ton of students were Saudi Arabian. The new king actually raised their living stipend. Students are payed something like $1000 for every time they are published, regardless of the journal's reputation.

Delete should just be the delete key... I think there was also an item on the edit menu to delete the selection.

This is some very useful insight, thanks! I've been asking this since at times, fully custom development (I ship Rails apps mostly, since 2005) is not the way to go, so I'm looking for other options where using modules (either custom or purchased) could help.
I think the short answer is no--not in the Japanese sense. There are hotels optimized around small (say 170 sf total) rooms. But in most (all?) cases they still have private bathrooms and you can certainly stand up and walk around. They're sometimes called "pod hotels" but that's sort of marketing; lots of hotels in a city like New York have pretty cramped rooms.

You don't know what to do, and most people here don't, and the best we can do is speculate one way or the other - but so can you!.

Gas is cheap, and terrorism and the middle-east problems are back with a vengeance, but things are cyclical so that means gas will be expensive again? And your easy come easy go job will really be gone (based on the cycle I guess) when shit hits the fan? Maybe not? Maybe the world has improved, and we won't throw out decent people who have work experience, but maybe things will get so rough that we'll have to stamp a "no-degree" tattoo on your for-head when the time comes.

This is a complicated question, I see why you asked it.
We also have Christians murdering abortion doctors, setting bombs and fires at clinics, Christian Sovereign Citizens murdering police on a near monthly basis, advocating for a theocracy in America (God above Country or Establishment of a national religion), advocation of Christian Law above secular law, etc, and we manage to keep our society from becoming a theocracy.

Developer of Pathologic [1] here. Code-wise, D8 is really a whole new paradigm for the system, so if you've given Drupal a look in the past and rolled your eyes at the PHP 4-ness of it all, I really encourage you to give it another look with fresh eyes in the future.

That's how the CA system currently works: you generate a key and a certificate signing request, and only disclose the public key via the CSR to the CA. The CA then uses their own key to sign yours. The CA key literally cannot be exported, and this is audited.

Wiretapping is immediately evident based on the key used in any malicious certificates; HPKP helps this.
