Disregarding the fact that Snopes is a very disreputable organization (e.g. there's a reason Facebook fired them as fact-checkers), your reference doesn't even back up what you say. Is it possible you're the one engaging in c

Wow, I'm surprised their advertising revenue was so little ($6k/month), considering how aggressive it got near the end. A large part of the reason I pivoted away from 8tracks was the aggressive advertising. Sad to see it was all f

I like this take the best. "Rather than a neat tree of discrete universes that don't interact after they branch, the universe could be much fuzzier mess of conflicting realities that can intercommunicate". Very well said and,

Wish they had a section that detailed the browser support for them as well, as that seems to be the major drawback.

so, what's the long and short on this project?

Is having an unnecessary API really better architecture though? It adds quite a bit of complexity and there are other ways to address separation of concerns.

That's actually brilliant. If you're ever looking for something to write about for a new blog post, I would love to learn more about how you implemented that estimate_count function. Thanks for the tip in the right direction tho!

Majaro actually looks beautiful, I'll definitely check into it, thanks for the heads up! Some part of me is tempted to make the jump to qubes too

It's true I never told Windows my working hours, but I would shut down mostly nightly and it'd still happen. I just find it to be incredibly user-hostile to force updates in the middle of a session, starts to feel a bit more like

Switch over to Linux Mint, it’s the spiritual successor to Windows 7 (same look and feel), but it’s also Linux which is phenomenal. Windows 7 used to be all I used, because all the latest windows versions take away too much control of my co

I remember reading your article on FTS in postgres, great stuff. Was wondering what strategies you might be using to perform counts on your data? I'm trying to implement a faceted search in postgres and currently using window functions

You gotta relax your tone eh. Not sure why you’re so personally/emotionally invested in this topic but your aggressive tone makes your myriad comments grating.

Wish I could use that in a Django app. Doesn't seem to be a viable python queueing library that allows using postgresql

Yup, that's my exact setup. Haven't found a need to do more than that for years.

Ideally, random commenters on the internet would back up their claims with more digested evidence rather than linking to a multi-hundred page report that often doesn't say what people think it says.
