I listed some popular languages that web applications I happened to run dockerised are using. They are not arbitrary. If you run normal web applications they often take many hundre…

There is something very wrong now with how companies operate in general. You get beaten down eventually. Late last year. I spent like an hour going through why a PR (and this devel…

Maybe they will. However people often claim that there won't be anyone to want to enter the market to take advantage of high DRAM prices when if they spent two minutes doing a web …

Obfuscation is meant to slow someone by making it difficult to understand. Slowing an attacker down is often employed as a form of security, that is why castles had walls, moats an…

You are being a pendant as far as I am concerned and arguing semantics with me is not going to convince me and many others. So I suggest in future you should learn that using this …

Buying from scalpers and other untrustworthy people like thieves and other toerags is unreasonable. I would expect people to understand that unreasonable options should be omitted …

It isn't that they are crappy web devs. It is that often the org paying for the development doesn't care. I am a web developer of over 20 years. I can create insanely optimised pag…

It is almost as if two or more things can be true at the same time.

Containers are not Virtual Machines. 1GB cannot run a lot of server software. If stuff is written in .NET, Java or JavaScript. Hosting a non-trivial web app can use several hundred…
