Nowhere in the article does it say anything about "friendly".

I don't even start the video. They are almost always just marketing and hyperbole anyway. I assume that if they went through all the troubles of creating a video they must also hav…

While you do want HA you also want to keep things simple. You get great HA with just one backup machine. The times you lose two machines are so few that you might crash the site wi…

That is a good point. But then I'm even less sure where I would use this. Definitely not when out hiking in the woods. I still believe I'm with the 25% that didn't prefer asynchron…

No voice? That lost all of my interest. So now I need to tap out a message on my expensive, somewhat fragile smartphone with dirty fingers while losing all sight of the road for a …

Note that 12 kg is 26.5 pounds, so they are all somewhat related to each other but not exactly. The number of significant digits on the Castille version is ridiculous compared to t…

And the user still has no way of ensuring the safety of the underlying transport. How do I know the form is going to be sent over a secure link after a push the button? Who will ge…

It's pretty strange to get root access to a server, even though it's just a Docker VM. We can install anything we want, compile any C code we want, DDoS and spam anyone we want... …

Didn't find Haskell.

I'm an early beta user. Your web app is run in a virtual machine. You can store stuff to disk, in memory or in your own database (the PHP container gives you a database per default…

This is extremely useful, not only for inspiration and learning, but also so you actually know what is happening under the hood. This is great for troubleshooting and for reasoning…

Why did you have to end an otherwise good answer with a racist slur?

As long as they don't tamper with the data I think an HTTP cache is perfectly OK. HTTP has loads of built-in mechanism for that kind of caching. It saves bandwidth upstream, not le…

A maximum size limit is an obvious troll to get down to O(1) sort!

> the PRNG will walk the number space Are you sure? What if there's an infinite amount of tries to get to a certain number? You can of course reason about the average case, but may…

Maybe they should just stop pay for Firefox development if they don't like Firefox. Google pays huge amounts of money to Mozilla.

I certainly do agree that this somewhat more abstract approach is much better for stable web applications. My point is that PHP doesn't require you to understand anything to get st…

I have a fresh install of such a distro, where Python is included. What do I need to do to from Python present an input form which takes my name and a second page that greets me us…

No, most people would not do that. They would click the links on the page.

They still should be able to figure out how to take down the website to avoid being exploited.

That domain name sure looks like a phishing scam. Six days to take down the websites and start bugfixing is a lot of time for this kind of vulnerability.

The fact that Bloglovin is on that list must mean we're doing something right. The blogosphere is all about taking control over both production and consumption of media.

Turkey will probably not become a member of the union any day soon, though.

Indeed. Where I live, Asperger was diagnosed by only a couple of university hospitals ten years ago, with waiting times counted in years. Today it's diagnosed by hundreds of local …
