While I agree micropayments should be persued more, personally I've seen many MANY users that love when things are free (as in money).

While there can technically be a perf improvement by making the types of functions less likely to change over time meaning to better jit code, the real reason is for safety (you'll get a warning if you pass an array of elements into a

But would that impact him if he were to take Tesla private before being barred (as in this hypothetical, he wouldn't be an officer or director of a public company, just of a private one)?

It's mind boggling the number of users that google products have. I couldn't imagine my code impacting 2 billion users, but the chrome team has to every goddamn day.

I meant that in the past tense (which rereading my comment was not how I wrote it!), I'm super excited for F9 to start taking people to ISS!

I agree, but at the same time, I don't know if I'd want to go up on a Falcon 9...

I can see their point though. If you ignore cost, SpaceX still has a lot to prove. They are doing amazing things and I personally wouldn't bet against them, but the people they are fighting against have a lot higher success rate at thi

And then you have to report the bug yourself as you can't view other people's bug reports, and if they close it as a dupe then you need to ask special permission to view the other bug, and if they grant you access then you can fol

This is the point I always try to hammer home. The inclusivity of paper voting is amazing. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, black or white, highly educated or illiterate, rich or poor, just about everyone can count ballots. A

IMO Contributor is still pretty new, and without users the time and effort spent implementing it probably isn't worth it yet, especially because many of those running adblockers just ignore it entirely (I can't even count the numb

How would you prevent a corrupt voting offical giving silver-painted lead tokens to anyone wearing a Democrat hat? How would you verify that the weighing machine isn't tampered with? Paper voting is simple, anyone can check a box. it&#

The bigger benefit is that architecture is so simple to understand. The world starts with a request and ends with the last byte being sent. No worrying about shared state, no worrying about multiple application servers, no worrying about cr

So can I ask, how would I as a website developer do that? If I don't want you blocking my ads, costing me money for servers and hosting, and removing my income stream, how do is signal to you or enforce that I will only send you conten

My biggest thing that I am kind of panicking that I'm going to lose is the ability to batch groups of emails into bundles and deliver them at given times of the day. For example, all "purchase" emails (emails like shipping up

I for example have all promo emails "queue" up whenever they come in and show up at 9am every day. I have all "low priority" emails show up at 5pm when I'm winding down my workday to deal with them. That's the

It's been a few years since i worked with PHP daily, but off the top of my head: * the shared nothing architecture is extremely easy to reason about (the world begins with a request, and ends once it's out) * shared-nothing also m

I don't think it is. Sure, it's not like they are 2 different languages, but it's something that all python developers will have to keep in mind when using libraries. Not to mention the headache of having both installed on ma

Upgrading was opt-in with python as well, and look at where breaking changes got them... A decade in and there's still a massive rift in the python community over 2 vs 3. PHP is backwards compatible almost to a fault, but that doesn&#x

I always felt the same about PHP. It gets a lot of shit because some of the oldest parts have some weird function names or parameter order, but outside of that it's a fantastic language, especially if you stick with php ~5.5 and newer.

DHT is a fantastic system, but it's not easy by any means, and it still needs some "important" nodes to help bootstrap the system.

There are public ICE/STUN servers that can facilitate NAT-punching, google even hosts one. But that's not the aspect that I thought the root comment was talking about, but more the aspect of "A is hosting a room called '

Ouch! That really sucks... Is there a ticket number or blog post or something I can research to learn a bit more about the reasoning behind this change with them?

Yeah, I skipped over a lot of the details, but you would need someone to choose to be a "host" (at least in terms of a "host" for the connection signaling stuff), but you can also implicitly make it the person who create

The fact is that you can't easily do the last part without a central server. There might be some public or semi-public servers for this kind of thing available somewhere, or the alternative that I played with a few years ago was to com

Luckily it doesn't work with TLDs or the "domain" part (or whatever the name for the "google" in "google.com" is). So stuff.www.com shows as stuff.www.com But www.www.com shows as www.com
