The WY and the wherefore: Liz Cheney’s loss

In a city filled with dangerous yet heavily regulated alchemical magic, a man from the slums discovers he may be its only hope to survive certain destruction in this wickedly entertaining fantasy. 

Welcome to Bezim, where sword-slinging bravi race through the night and rich and idle alchemists make magic out of mixing and measuring the four planes of reality.

Siyon Velo, Dockside brat turned petty alchemist, scrapes a living hopping between the planes to harvest ingredients for the city’s alchemists. But when Siyon accidentally commits an act of impossible magic, he’s catapulted into the limelight—which is a bad place to be when the planes start lurching out of alignment, threatening to send Bezim into the sea.

It will take a miracle to save the city. Good thing Siyon has pulled off the impossible before. Now he just has to master it.

A dazzling fantasy bursting with wild magic, chaotic sword-fighting street gangs, brazen flirting, malevolent harpies, and one defiant alchemist.

"From the razor-sharp social climbing to the glimmering alchemist's library to the hidden realms beneath it all, I loved getting lost in this dazzling debut." —Shannon Chakraborty

استحوذ آي فون الجديد وآبل تحديداً على أغلب النقاش التقني خلال الأسبوعين الماضيين. ليس فقط بسبب الآي فون الجديد والأجهزة الأخرى بل للنقاش العميق الذي طرحه حول عالم الإعلانات على الويب بعد إتاحة iOS 9 لحجب الإعلانات. كان لآي فون الجديد أيضاً سلاح سري غير معلن سرّع في عمل الجهاز وتفوق على غيره بأشواط. نقاشنا لهذه الحلقة تركز على هذه الأمور ونقلنا بنفس الوقت لنقاش تقني محوري حول "استراتيجية المحتوى" الجديدة على مستوى التطوير في الإعتماد على أنظمة إدارة المحتوى القائمة على الواجهات البرمجية API فقط وتوليد صفحات HTML مباشرة.

هايبرلينك 130: سلاح آي فون الجديد السري، حجب الإعلانات وبداية نهاية أنظمة إدارة المحتوى

تحتل تكنولوجيا الواقع الافتراضي كل أحاديث التكنولوجيا اليوم. كان مؤتمر CES الأخير في الولايات المتحدة مسرحاً لكثير من الإعلانات لتكنولوجيات وأجهزة جديدة تريد نشر هذه الحركة على كل الأصعدة. ماهو وضع الواقع الافتراضي اليوم وإلى أين سيتجه؟ هل يمكن أن نشتري لأولادنا نظارة واقع افتراضي؟
