No, you're not alone. To be explicit about why, for others, this means your shell will search for executables in a 'bin' sub directory of whatever directory you happen to be in BEF…

I'll ask about the reasoning instead of attacking the decision (since that didn't get a response). Why not embed HAProxy?

Depends on what the product itself is and from which perspective you're asking the question. At any rate, those are almost never the only two choices...

I don't see tinco saying it is simple to replace these things. Where do you see that? I suspect you're unconsciously framing tinco's position this way... Another possible way to in…

Maybe, what's your point?

Why do you think that? The top sellers of mining hardware that I could find on Google (Butterfly Labs, Advanced Miners, Cointerra) all accept Bitcoin for payment. Are you referring…

Why the "Yeah, but so what?" rhetoric? This is an important point, regardless. Sometimes new projects are started and it's not a matter of switching. Sometimes verbosity, and the t…

It doesn't have to be explicit "use X% of your time to contribute to open source" to count as getting paid to do it. When using OSS libraries on commercial products I've found the …

The servers in this example were configured to be asynchronous. The clients were not. You may still be using asynchronous clients in your code but James's argument is that Java dev…

In what way, specifically, do you feel this pain?

They left at 11am because they realized how bad the problem was and just gave up? Or left at 11am as a normal thing (e.g. before they noticed the problem) ?

I don't think it's the treatment one way or the other of those that write C# code. I think it's just the Microsoft Bubble at work. I think there are just fewer .NET developers here…

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I understand SNI and SSL without SNI. What I'm not seeing is why it's a problem when a host such as DO doesn't allow multiple IP addresses on a single machin…

I don't think it's at all obvious or universally true that it's better to get an 'Unable to connect' error message than a certificate warning (btw, the default site could tell the …

Why's this a problem related to SSL?

That's not true. Why do you think that?

One benefit to something like async/await is letting you get on with other stuff without having to murk up your code with callbacks/delegates which read more like GOTOs than async/…

Isn't the problem that the end of the day never comes? A site is never 'done'. It always needs to be changed and this is why 'clean code' matters. It reduces the cost of change.

Definitely true that estimates can be improved from some hypothetical floor of quality.. Estimates still come with a cost in themselves though. They're not an end, merely a means. …

Neither my intuition nor experience lead me to the same conclusion as you. My intuition says that complex algorithms get even more advantage from more expressive languages. Java an…

Is pray a syscall?

Not really...you'd still need to be online which isn't always the case.
