1. CPI is a wrong deflator to use when comparing to GDP growth 2. Wages != Compensation

Our front end engineers were extremely happy. Me personally, as a backend engineer, not as much, but it isn't too bad. There are some quirks (error handling), performance issues (e…

Depends on typography traditions. In Russian, em-dash in the middle of a sentence is always typeset with short spaces. We also rarely use en-dashes (I think there are maybe two cas…

> In what bizarro world would anyone actually want ISPs competing for the last mile You can easily have up to 1 gbit symmetric internet connection in Russia for $10 because of that…

Are you confusing tw with twhr/y?

Well, not exactly an app, but some forums dedicated to reviews for courtesans are quite old.

There is a setting for menu being always on.

I remember having issues verifying emails with attachments last time I've used dkimverify.

I kind of agree with GP sentiment for two reasons: 1. Nowadays I mostly advice newcomers to start with sinatra instead of rails, because rails keeps growing in scope and the surfac…

It's also reverse.

I think you're right when it comes to basic questions (like "how to do XXX in rails"). However, in my practice, 90% of the obstacles are not concerned with how to do something in t…

Having a "tie" key for the region map is a cute detail, but how necessary is it really?
