    Unnecessary _now_ perhaps, but not unnecessary when lodash was written. In 2009, when underscore.js came out (from which lodash was a fork) Array.every() was not something you coul…

    It got baked into the silicon valley culture for some reason. When the rebellious innovators à la Wozniak and the Berkeley folks merged with trillions of VC spewing finance bros, a…

    Steve Job's return to Apple was not like this at all. For all his faults Jobs was never as erratic as Musk, and he never pulled stunts like causing 80% of the staff to be fired or …

    which is why phpbb or even (god forbid) reddit is more ergonomic to use for me. If the thread is enormous, then split it into pages. And if it's not enormous, the discourse solutio…

    IIRC OpenBSD's version of pf is single-threaded, which might be an issue depending on your network speed and hardware. A single core of an Atom or Celeron might struggle on a gigab…
