Quite ironic they suggest we use "demanding or entitled White woman" instead of "Karen". Isn't a Karen actually a "a female of European descent struggling with mental conditions of…

Today its glasses of water by the sink, tomorrow it's "you have to sanitize the car steering wheel after you drive," and eventually it's "don't get close to me if you walked by the…

You have not really given us enough information to suggest the best solution. For example, is this because you host many websites for other people who all use your custom nameserve…

While I agree that 200K in debt for a BA in English is not a wise choice, there's a whole class of families that can afford the 200K out of pocket, and will happily pay it for a to…

Getting from zero to paying one's living expenses is probably the most difficult growth phase of any start-up. In my personal experience, this phase is best funded by technical deb…

My friend, you are not lost -- you are free. From what I can tell, you have your health, your youth (35 is still young) and you have some savings. If you don't have a mortgage, kid…

The building has all the charm of a temperature-controlled storage facility, which sadly, is what it seems to be.

Nice, but Taiwan has the best 7-11's. Take a look: https://www.google.com/maps/place/%E6%9A%97%E9%BB%91%E5%B0%8...

Brilliant story. This is the NYC that I remember.

This humble letter follows some good rules for short persuasive prose: - Don't generalize or pontificate - Draw from specific facts or experiences - Qualify your thesis statement a…

tldr; If you delete an S3 bucket with a subdomain name, you need to delete the DNS record that points to it, or the missing bucket may be recreated by someone else, and used to hos…

It does not require an invasion unfortunately. It only requires a naval blockade, which would effectively starve the island until they concede to defeat.

The logo and typesetting is quite ok. But the "Our Photostyle" idea is just plain bad/confusing.

Since we are sharing stories... I moved to East Asia, which can be an adult daycare for Western alcoholics, and realized not only could I drink every night of the week and still ha…

You are correct. I suppose it could be an unreviewed NPM dependency causing this ;)

This is what happens when you dynamically insert your CSS tag in the head after the DOM loads.

To better remove the criticism, add some honesty and objectivity... "One of the first things I would think of, when trying to solve a problem like this, would be sshd. But, I may n…

More anecdotal...my mother-in-law is mid-70s. Retired for the last 20 years. Plays mahjong all day. Sharp as a tack, along with her mahjong friends.

This is affecting my websites that use cloudfront, for which Amazon apparently uses their own Route 53 for DNS (nslookup -query=ns cloudfront.net). Since the only way to call remot…

Isn't this one of the surprising parts of growing old? As a young person you may feel that your future self will be attended by loving family members and caring friends. But, once …

Yes, but move to a country with an economy drastically less developed than your own, and your fortunes may change.

It's a short trip between 15 and 18 years old. Treat a 15 year old like a baby, and they'll be making up for lost time their first year away from home. A 15 year deserves a smart p…
