I didn't say it was easy. redis is full of reinventing the wheel in the name of improved performance. This is something developers often do, but are often told it's pointless, just use built-ins. Salvatore has found a niche where

Nor is it a solved problem. You cannot point to any modern economy as an example of successfully avoiding this issue, since they all rely heavily on subsidy injections to maintain the economy(and for other reasons). A more modern example wo

The simplistic low-level nature of redis probably helps avoid fatigue. Many of the data structures implemented are well defined in their purpose, it's more a matter of implementation & optimization. The same is not true for higher-

Having a reality TV show and running a popular blog would make me think they're more likely to spin or embellish things.

From personal experience I would trust neither to be infallible. I remember the IBM Deathstar drives, my Maxtor drives repeatedly dying along with their RMA replacements & the issues Seagate seems to have with 1.5TB & 3TB drives. Wh

Your view of the tech field sounds a little pompous. Medical and law are well known life-consuming professions. I think any dedicated professional will have issues at some point unplugging themselves from their profession to pursue other fa

They may not actually be going home. They may be going to a second job or school, seeing their kids for an hour in the evening, and then going to bed worried about paying bills. Low-wage jobs are their own cyclical trap, which can lead to n

Perhaps you've just never been criticized or had someone look at you like you were stupid. Maybe you've never had someone dismiss your concerns immediately, give you a rushed response which has nothing to do with your question, an

Look you're being just as hand wavy, and your sterile gut idea is a bit of spherical cow. We will never be able to sterilize our environment to the point where we can easily maintain a sterile gut. No one fully understands the human mi

three.js is a 3D engine. WebGL is a library that let's you interface with 3D graphic accelerators(rasterizers on steroids). That is it's main purpose. Rasterization is a fundamental of real-time 3D graphics. I am not sure why peop

Perhaps we should considerably increase incentives for telecommuting. A lot of gridlock is from office workers who probably could do their job from home. This might also foster improved community development and less suburban sprawl, as peo

Was an admin account compromised in a situation where 2FA could have prevented the unauthorized access? If that's not what happened, then 2FA seems a bit hand wavy if it's not directly related to this security incident.

The harsher treatment isn't really what I was talking about. People were often said to be "off" or "crazy", but no one talk about it much. Likely mental disorders were underreported because there was less intere

Such rose-colored glasses of the past you have. The handling of the mentally ill in the past was atrocious. Hiding mental illness away is very convenient for society, but it doesn't fix the actual problem. People who suffer brain traum

I dealt with physical illness which caused large amounts of anxiety and stress. If you've recovered from a dehumanizing situation, often you don't want to invite those negative emotions back into your life. You just cross your fin

Do we tell cancer or AIDS patients their only hope is to change their outlook on life? No. We know the physiological cause and treat it. A psychosomatic diagnosis is often a cop out when your illness doesn't fall within the confines of

I think there is a difference between someone who is causally stating an opinion, and someone who has fully subscribed to a specific conspiracy theory.

A mental illness does not have to result in major negative side effects to be considered an illness. People can live very normal looking lives, while also having delusional thoughts.

I think a large portion of the conspiracy theorist population probably has a mental illness that makes them susceptible to delusional thinking. Delusional people can lead very normal fully functioning lives, but mix a certain topic that off

$30 for 15MB of generic mobile phone data is insane. I think you're right on the money on the second point. How easy/reliable is it for someone to turn off data roaming? I wouldn't be surprised if even mobile operators were c

Your code will never fail, if you never code. Abstinence is basically off topic in this discussion. The goal is to "avoid pregnancy while having sex". Not having sex, is not a solution to this goal. Telling someone not to drive if

Well I did experience pushback when I had my vasectomy at 22 with no kids. I've also read of men with multiple children getting lectured about the procedure. It is potentially reversible, not 100% reversible. There is a huge chance you

Even vasectomy is not perfect. There is risk involved with the procedure. You're likely going to get a lecture regardless of how many kids you've had, and if you've had zero be prepared for outright refusal by many doctors. T

Lentils don't agree with a lot of people due to taste, texture and/or flatulence. However, the people who don't eat lentils probably wouldn't touch ground insect meat either.

Not really. You're renting a space from them, and they can dictate what you're allowed to do in that space. I would say the hotel has the right to ask guests to not use these devices in their rooms, but they should not be actively

The hotel industry is pretty fragmented. Most hotel chains are franchises run mainly by independent franchisees. The quality of hotels varies wildly depending on location, even within the same brand/chain. There isn't as much over

An encrypted flash drive is probably better than security through inconvenience or unreliability.
