I see a lot of responses here taking the purist line: that it's not real design and customers will know the difference. I suspect it's close enough in many cases that customers won…

Quick: let's release something new that gives the appearance that we're still relevant

Shutdown because they either stopped paying their dues or didn't agree to the recent increase

Yep if you wrote lambda@edge functions, which are part of Cloudfront and can be used for authentication among other things, they can only be deployed to us-east-1

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Had a black and white laserjet printer in the late 1980s. Was a magnificent device and super reliable.

Those 2 charts are amazing! At least the Itanium people adjusted their curves downward over time, looks like the IEA just carried on regardless!

So a 145% tariff on high tech goods will hurt the US too much? China should ban high tech exports to the US. That's gonna hurt both sides but the war was already started by Trump.

Actually I wrote it for Elon then added the headcount reduction!

Right now I'm wishing I had a transparent skull

Agreed from a software engineering perspective. I can't imagine who still uses stack overflow. However I'm still in the phase where I think of opening a browser before realising my…

Did you find a legit use case for blockchain? Nice work bro!

The great thing about young people is that they haven't had much time to develop a moral compass. I'd say that makes them perfect for the roles they've been given

Maybe it's a cultural thing but to me this comes across as racist

I'm not a cheerleader of China by any means but the attitude you have towards China is scary. Why does the US have to control the world in order to be safe?

First thing I would have done is upgrade the version of Gatsby to latest. Did the author try that? If upgrading is difficult because of 4 years of breaking changes, blame Gatsby fo…

Agree 100%. That's the default on every support number you call these days. I think it's proactive anger management on behalf of the service provider

That only matters to people who use social media. It's not like you need an id card to use the Internet

He'll get out - maybe through the embassy. It's not like there would be extradition between Russia and France with the relationship as it is at the moment.

Not advocating for it but it's called economies of scale and it's happening in every country including mine (Australia)
