I don't disagree, but I also believe the tabloid media hold great power over that segment of the population; indeed, many of the "less palatable" sentiments have been encouraged by the tabloid media, or perhaps even origin

This is gold, I'm definitely banking this idea. 10 suddenly feels like a lot of stories to come up with though :)

Being honest, that doesn't sound too enticing. Despite VSCode being an Electron app, I've never had any performance issues with it - really, it's a great example of how Electron can be done right. On collaboration, I'm

I'm guessing Medicaid isn't going to pay for the kind of nursing home that costs $10k/month?

I think sending in a 5 Eyes team to audit them would result in the VPN provider becoming a honeypot even if they weren't before!

I saw one just the other day, in the small, rural Scottish town I live in - pretty sure the first I've ever seen in the UK! I had my young son with me, and I was gesticulating excitedly... then I remembered he hasn't even heard of

Wow, I guess this was a small school? Was it "only" Microsoft Office licenses, or was other software included too?

That's the one! Had no idea it was about a trout of all things, or indeed why they chose such a song?!

Yep, it's Samsung. We purchased a more expensive machine, expecting it would be better quality and last longer... it's been a terrible purchase though, we've had nothing but trouble with it. Won't be buying Samsung again

Pretty sure I was using Snort literally about 20 years ago. Very strange.

Well, here in the UK I can actually buy a Framework laptop... I can't buy this laptop directly from the manufacturer - and I can't find anywhere else I can buy it! I can't even find pricing. This does look like a great produc

I'm guessing you haven't measured it, as IME it certainly is true. Try it, you might be surprised. Also, SSR'd pages can be cached too.

The server load from a server-side rendered page vs an API call that returns JSON is... very minimal. Unless you're building at great scale, it's such a negligible difference that it really shouldn't be part of your decisio
