Believe me, the people who are phased out deserve to be. I've had the unlucky experience of using an HN client that showed all comments by default, and you wouldn't believe the amount of deranged, vile shit that gets posted here.

Without going into stuff like Kubernetes, basically what you want is to run your postgres instances behind a load-balancer listening to 5432 and forwarding to whatever instance. The most common with postgres is probably HAProxy. If your pro

What the author refers to "Prussian" education is hardly the Western tradition, quite the opposite.

It's just doing the same stuff Opera did (with a much less pleasing engine). I've used Vivaldi for years but now I'm getting split on it. I've got regressions that are just unacceptable (especially when it comes to video

As the other person that answered to you pointed out, there's a point where your HTTP server becomes the bottleneck, ie your backend being more concurrent and faster at producing content than your server is at delivering it. But I feel

I hope you have no illusions that at scale it would be accompanied by social collapse, mass death, rape and pillaging.

That would have been small for the time. The average for adult males at that time in the area looks to have been around 1.625m[1]. If I remember correctly, it was about 1.7m a millennium later, during the Classical period. [1]: https:/

I've been mildly obsessed by this engraving ever since its discovery. It's stupendously beautiful and incredibly dynamic. In comparison, much posterior Archaic Greek art that is imitative of Egyptian sculpture is stiff and simple.

Slimzsh[1] is a very nice default configuration. Just a slim prompt, fast-syntax-highlighting and some vanilla settings. I keep a personal fork with a few added plugins (most notably zsh-autosuggestions and ssh-agent). No need for a plugin

God I hate those things. It used to be the standard in France, now we've moved to the screw type. Still, plenty of old sockets used that system. I'm always terrified on putting too much pressure and pop a light bulb in my hand.

I paid through the nose for my Leopold FC660C because the specific one I wanted had to come from the US. Never regretted it ! I've added Hasu's board on it a few weeks ago and it's basically a perfect keyboard now.
