I'm a millennial and remember the Geocities days, however in my opinion the internet is more open than ever. Anyone can get a cheap VPS, raspberry Pi, or a plethora of other hosting options and publish what they want. We have so many i

I worked in a web scraping team for a couple of years and memory was always the bottleneck since we ran hundreds of thousands of instances. Our scrapers were written in python and with the interpreter + all the imports we had 40MB reserved

This seems like it should be labeled as some kind of social law: Any blockchain will always converge towards a speculation vehicle. In much the same way, social networks almost always seem to become hookup platforms.

This is tangential to the issue, but when I was in school, around 2005 in the UK we had a fascinating IT class where the the teacher explained all the different facts that can be derived from a simple loyalty card (the kind you use in shops

This seems to be happening everywhere and it's infuriating. A salaried job for an educated professional barely lets you save anything, and at this rate the only chance of retiring will be if you get a decent inheritance.

DiEM25 advocate for this and it's a great idea. I hope it happens in Denmark and that the rest of the world follows suit.

I've also noticed that in Colombia they always tie plastic bags with this technique. Even in supermarkets, making them harder to carry.

Your answer would make sense if the OP were asking what stack to use for project X, but they're asking what stack _to learn_ and familiarise themselves with in preparation for whichever project next comes up.

Are you seriously claiming it's too hard? They could send out emails, Facebook messages or show some banner in the profile page. This is Facebook ffs, they almost have a monopoly on communication.

It's a good question. One thing you find in modern physics is that ideas are often named according to some mathematical analogue to classical physics. You start thinking about forces by imagining a ball being kicked, and after boiling

I'm just a sample of one but I literally did this. My employer started forcing us back into the office as soon as it was legally permitted. We were only allowed to be at 30% capacity, so management ensured that this quota was always fi

Would you say this is a weakness of element or matrix itself? In principle you could made a clone of signal, WhatsApp, telegram etc. using mobile APIs right?

Same thing in Spain, many libraries with no cost whatsoever.

Yes this is usually the best way. If you need some features for code reuse there are several preprocessors. I personally use Dhall to configure everything and then convert it to JSON for my application to consume. It is a lot more powerful

I saw the Netflix seaspiracy documentary last night, and it made me think there's really no way to sustain such a huge human population. Every single method of food production seems unsustainable to me, it either uses too much water or

Those trying to communicate will always have the advantage thanks to cryptography. It gives you many way to secure and obfuscate communications, even in plain view.

I understand your gripe but in a business setting you need some estimate of cost, even if it's on the order of hours, days, weeks etc. In my experience it's often cheaper to just get stuck in rather than trying to accurately predi

I quite like swarm for its compatibility with docker-compose, in particular to have the option of zero downtime deploys. If I wanted to manage a real cluster though I'd probably use nomad or GKE to avoid getting burned when the system

I agree with the other commentor, this is an important distinction. It has no hypervisor and is really just a normal process using standard kernel features: cgroups (resource limiting) and namespaces (resource isolation). It's really n

This is my experience too. I've seen a lot of decisions made due to personal preference, at considerable technical and financial expense. The most recent example was a replacement for a complex YAML DSL, served by spring config sever a
