You've been using "US-centric" as a slur all over this thread.

But then you'd have to be a customer of Google, which is undesirable for many.

You can say "composed of", or you can say "comprises" -- "comprised of" is always wrong.

Any third parties reading this should take anything tptacek says with a grain of salt -- he's a well-known security contractor and his business model specifically consists of convi…

A lot of things don't make sense to people who don't understand economics.

Anecdotes are not data. I know plenty of farms that do use invisible fences. Dogs have a habit of digging under fences when determined.

Probably because it's pretty obvious that Bitcoin is going to fail.

I wonder what they meant by that. I've heard that Bavaria is the most German state of Germany.

Clearly we need to divert government funding to get girls into trains.

Wrong, anybody who obsesses about anything is a nerd by definition.

> there are no examples of seriously ill paranoid schizophrenics that put out meaningful work. Utter hogwash. There are countless artists who struggled with schizophrenia and bipol…

You make it sound as if he is the exception that proves the rule.

^ Low-value humblebrag that adds nothing to the conversation.

I should have clarified. I'm not talking about micro-optimizations. Bash doesn't scale operationally. You might be a bash wizard who never fucks up, but you're never going to be ab…

Nobody should be using any shell in prod

You need to fix your mentality. HCL not being a complete language is a feature. Bash is a liability. If you honestly think you can build more reliable modern systems in bash, you d…

Nobody said it couldn't be done, just that it shouldn't. Fun stunt but ultimately suitable only for toys or as a gimmick.

"works" More like "better the devil you know" (if you can even say that much). Bash doesn't scale. Every shop larger than 1 has been burned by bash gotchas. Use a real scripting la…

Pearls before swine.

Not only is what you're saying irrelevant to my point, you're wrong. "Log ins, shopping baskets" do require a notice if they are persistent, which almost all of them are. Looks lik…

Cute, but most of the former British empire (including Britain itself) still uses parts of it.

Sure, whatever you say. One of my bitcoin-addled friends loves to claim this. I left $1000 in an account and gave him the routing and account numbers and welcomed him to take it. H…

None of what you said is true. It's impossible to run a website that does anything significant (such as show ads, use UX to convert visitors, or even log in) without cookies. The r…

You do realize that it's only "obfuscating" if you can't perform basic arithmetic, and that there are several countries that use imperial measurements?
