They don't like conservative opinions here, so I am not surprised.

Unironically, this is one of the simpler setups for a multi-node WP setup I have seen, and I have set up prod WP many times. Anyone with associate level knowledge of AWS can do thi…

I recently purchased a new 13" pro, upgraded to the top processor. I installed Bootcamp and played hours of The Witcher 3 (on low settings, of course, but still). There were no ove…

It also only makes sense if you know nothing about economics in general. Lowering the price while maintaining existing margins just opens the door to more consumers available to pu…

It’s not mostly right however. It’s right for your run of the mill public or private universities, but as evidenced by this poster and countless others, there is a unique value pro…

Throwing generalized insults is easy. Projection is a hell of a drug. I don't think it's constrained to cities. I hold to no ideology. I said the _worse_ of them are usually big bl…

It's always the big liberal cities, with majority democratic councils, and a legacy of democratic mayors and govenors with the worse police departments: Chicago, Atlanta, D.C., NYC…

Nuclear. The answer always has been nuclear.

Or quality, or getting what you actually paid for, or not supporting a wanna-be trillionare technocrat that would rather satisfy his fantasy to colonize mars than treat his warehou…

Note the key distinction I made: I said commerce in general, not strictly limited to e-commerce.

Are you sure you have lived in the country? It doesn't make you a pariah, it makes you the target of lots of pamphlets to come to their Church. There are plenty of people who don't…

Just a word of caution as someone who has went from D.C. to small town: It can also be not so good if you come with your previous political beliefs. Big coastal city politics are _…

I am not sure why people think Amazon is such a dominate force on the commerce front, especially with respects to Walarmt. It isn't even close between the two. I am more worried ab…

React is 8 years old. It's went through 3 major shifts: From react.CreateClass({}) style, to Class-based components, to now Hooks. In between, it's always embraced and tried to all…

Buy a Speed Queen washer. That's about all I can say.

There are infinitely more language users. I'd rather throw a bone to the compiler developers.

> To make the same product in 1997 would be difficult if not impossible without very deep pockets. And likely 10-100x the quality and reliability, and without needing to sell every…

Efficient for what? What are we solving for? Rushing out buggy, complex, unmaintainable, undocumented software? Sure. We are certainly more efficient at that. Hardly anyone takes t…

This is the lazy answer I know, but I wanted to at least answer your genuine curiosity: There is ample research available online on the subject that explains it in depth and far be…

Generics, I would certainly be ecstatic for if it was done in a way that is novel and feels Go-like , so not Java or C# or C++'s implementations. This has certainly been the stance…

See my sibling comment. If you think the overreach the last 2 decades is the same as the previous 5 then I don’t really know what to tell you.

Sure, but not to this degree. We are in perpetual war, excuse me, "targeted campaigns in the interest of National Security" because of the last two.

Dismissing this as some petty doom-to-fail attempt to fulfill some narcissistic desire would be foolish, as recent presidential history, from GW and especially through Obama has sh…

Does anyone else find the costs associated with running well-tested, well developed systems overblown? Like if you know how to adjust some basic parameters, you will solve for 99% …

I am not sure why it ever survived. Every other piece of that law was dismantled. At the very minimum, it needs to be reformed so that Big Tech that takes advantage of these protec…
