In Germany I thought if kind of sad, that a major automotive forum isn't https secured (motortalk.de). I was asking myself, how they manage their user's logins.
Then I checked. The are secured. Not sure since when, but maybe the data from whynohttps isn't as fresh as one might think.
And lot of bigger press sites (spiegel.de, faz.net. computerbild.de) aren't secured still. Kind of a shame imho.
The main reason for big media sites and forums not being https secured is the interest of the advertising community. There was a huge community discussion on sites like golem.de and Heise.de, which only recently switched to https. Login pages are protected almost all the time.
Because then I have no advantage over the casino. With a hand shuffled deck, you get clumps of high cards together from the last set of hands, which gives an advantage to the player. If you can ride out waiting for the clumps, you can beat the house.
I would say that working closely together with the front-end devs is key. Listen to what they are trying to do, and see where you can help. Mind you though, that it should be balanced, because you want to avoid doing work that is unnecessarily complicated to make the life of the front-enders better.
Number 31 ("Play poker well enough to win the World Series of Poker.") is a pretty empty statement, as 1 tournament does not reflect your skill at poker at all. Short term variance is too big of a factor when it comes to one 1 tournament result.
Well, in 2016 there were 6737 entrants [0], so I suppose the AI needs to have all its stars aligned or some other connection to god to win it without being good.
Biggest problems are usually not winning heads-up but meaningfully sampling the state space with more than a handful of players + accounting for the "no limit" part.
My own anecdotal evidence - I couldn't believe how fast our Drupal 7 websites were, and they only threw a couple of deprecation notices. They definitely felt 100% faster. We will be upgrading soon.
But what would be the incentive for other site owners to use it then? It seems like in this scenario, the only time anyone would want to use the tool on their live site would be when they are sure they are getting an A+, any other sites that don't care about that score just wouldn't add the tool and any changes that might lower that score would presumably being taken care of before rolling out to production.
It seems like it would just turn into unnecessary bragging for the site owner. I wonder if the scoring would still be useful for development though, or if they would just try to fix as many problems as possible anyway.
Not really. It had an ugly bug for osx so I didn't use it that much.
I got sort of used to the chrome extension, but that uses to much screen space. I want an app that takes advantage of the notification system built into OSX.
These sort of wrappers (like op's app) get really close to native apps (in terms of ui/ux).
Most pressing ones are uva.nl (major University) and at5.nl (local but relatively large news site).
