Sure, as long as your website is just a tiny piece of plain text, and all your requests are distributed perfectly evenly over the course of the day, and every person only requests a single file and then leaves. But since none of that is ev

Mozilla is about the nothing. They are not about the long run, they are conceding control of the browser market to google. Firefox OS is never going to be relevant, will have no impact on phones, and doesn't help anyways. Phones are

When the entire world thinks you are the asshole, it is worth stopping and considering the possibility that they may be right.

Doing other things (that very few people are interested in or want) does not excuse having a broken browser stay unfixed for years. Firefox is well on its way to being the next IE6.

You are not rebutting that claim, you are being obtuse. >You can prove mathematical theorems with programs that have no side effects No, of course you can not. How do you see the result? That requires a side effect of some kind. >A

A library is not a program.

by Sssnake 13y ago
Yes true. Running a program with no side effects is a no-op. All side effect free programs are identical, and do nothing. This is one of the most common misconceptions people afraid to learn haskell bring up, because people keep saying &

Without side effects you couldn't do anything. Pure functional languages make side effects explicit, but it isn't about them being missing.

Ouch. Your combination of ignorance and arrogance is painful to behold. If you don't know anything about a subject, take an inquisitive approach rather than a dismissive one. TPC is a non-profit that creates and publishes standard be

I have never gotten any useful information from references ever. A lot of them are afraid to say anything substantial and just confirm "yes, so and so worked for us", at best you get a vague "they did their job well".

I've had the exact opposite experience. I've been using greylisting for almost a decade now. Greylisting is so common that people with broken mail servers is a non-issue. It is literally just exchange 2003 without any updates a

It really isn't. It is a testament to how many people don't want to learn anything, and just want to follow a list of directions. Setting up your own mail server is trivial, it is a 5 minute job.

None of that has anything to do with postgresql. Pgadmin is crappy, don't use it. Use one of the dozens of database independent admin tools, or just stick with the best tool: psql.

by Sssnake 13y ago
That is absolutely ridiculous. Less than 1% of 1% of mysql users are using replication. Suggesting it is a "total non-starter" for most production uses is crazy.

Except this "type of moderation" is harmful, not beneficial. When someone gets shadow banned, they go back and make a new account, and continue behaving exactly as before. If you want to improve behavior, you need to tell people
