Is writing "plain old JS in a text editor" really that rare nowadays? Honest question - I've only done a few websites, some with basic JS functionality and a few more advanced (for a website, that is) Go apps now - but never

I use vscode as a Golang IDE. It's pretty comprehensive with the extension that integrates the Go toolchain. I tried Gogland EAP for a while, and liked it a bit better, but now it's a paid product, I'm happy with vscode (whic

It might indicate this well in text, but in speech it'll be "the Tesla suit", which I could reasonably believe to be one of Elon's crazy ideas. It's a simple misconception to correct, though.

For a minute, I thought your comment had simply trailed off without finishing your thought. Then I realised it wasn't "Microsoft Skype", but rather, "before Microsoft, Skype had..."

One thing that might explain this is that your phone could be pulling data from your computer, rather than your computer trying to connect to your phone to push data to it.

For each individual video, it is a onetime CPU cost, but not a onetime bandwidth cost. For ongoing operation of the platform, at scale, you might argue that it's an ongoing CPU cost as more and more videos are added constantly, but the

If everyone waited a day or two before patching, this bug would simply be opened a day or two later than it was.

This was my understanding too. Their Sources page[1] indicates that they run a crawler called DuckDuckBot (implying some indexing takes place), and have community maintained/crowd-sourced data as well. [1] https://duck.co&#x

It seems that the fallacy of characterizing a large community (e.g. reddit, HN) as a single entity capable of things like hypocrisy is becoming more and more commonplace.

For comparison, my Samsung phones have had CPU underclocking in the low power modes. I'm not sure if that's true of all Androids or not.

Other than: 1. Allow performance to degrade 2. Allow longevity to degrade 3. Allow the battery to be replaced 4. Some revolutionary battery technology that doesn't degrade?? What solutions are you thinking of?

Honest question: Is a license violation not equivalent to unlicensed use of code? I mean, if you don't meet the terms of a license, you're not eligible to use the code under that license. That means you have no license to the code

Would a trial to determine theft of property normally be called a "theft trial"? I assumed that if that were the case, it would follow logically that an "intellectual theft trial" would be a trial to determine theft of i

One option would be paying for a VPS on AWS or Linode or DigitalOcean or Vultr or any number of similar providers - pick the lowest spec machine, raw network throughput is not very hardware dependent - and set the VPN up yourself. Streisand

I get chills when I listen to some music - I thought that was universal, or at least commonplace. Just how unique is getting chills supposed to be that it might be a marker for a "unique" brain?

To compile without the `Caddy-Sponsors` header, include this line before the plugin comment: sed -ie '/Header().Set("Caddy-Sponsors/d' ../caddyhttp/httpserver/server.go

Well, everyone's opinion is valid and useful as feedback. The good part is, if you can't justify the price, surely you can justify the time to write a bash script to compile it yourself? Further up this comments page is one fantas

I think your outburst might be rooted in a misunderstanding. As stated in a few other places in this thread, the software remains 100% free, including for commercial purposes. In order to make use of the build server at caddyserver.com, you
