It wasn't an option back then, but now, if you wanted both a typed language and rapid code-build-run-debug for the server side, you could go even faster and simpler (snappy single-step compile to native executable) with Go. If you were

I believe the "significantly" in that claim was the statistical type, and the correct interpretation was, "The data show that interest does in fact affect job satisfaction, but not very much."

It's not victim blaming to recommend that people who know how ought to switch to more self-managed solutions, but I agree with you that doing so is not an option for the vast majority of people. I've always promoted the idea that

It worries me even more that i can't see a way out of it other than censorship. It also worries me that so many people have been so pickled in today's ubiquitous leftist policing of what must and can't be said, what mustn&#

For some reason I'm getting a vague image of some sort of black monolith in the back of my mind and some weird screeching noises. Hard to describe, but I'm often right about things like this.

Can HTTP/3 be enabled in nginx now? Should it be? Is it a simple config change? I assume that would take care of serving static assets, but would reverse-proxied apps behind nginx also need to be upgraded to HTTP/3?

First, I love what you're doing here. I'd like to use it, but there is something stopping me: when I have lots of options, I need an easy way to compare them. I would so much rather compare a grid of options instead of having to l

I'm going to guess that the comment about measuring the weight of a person was not referring to measuring his walking speed nor his height. It's more likely referring to his personal gravity well and the time dilation it causes as

But then, it takes longer to chew more. Your reasoning about finer particles has always been my intuition, too, but taking more time to chew while exposing more food surface area to digestive action ought to mean that your blood sugar will

Yes, going with AWS is a short. You're shorting your own popularity. If your popularity explodes upward, there is no cap on your losses to AWS. The theory is that you are also hedged by your business so the limitless losses to AWS are

A very good point. Exchange the risk of a problem taking you offline, losing sales, for the risk of a problem not taking you offline, costing you a fortune. That's a big selling point for DigitalOcean: you sleep easy knowing what you
