A lot of Centurylink circuits are still down in Arizona, and if not down completely, have significant packet loss.

Unless your product is similar to Dropbox or a side project for fun and giggles, anyone complaining about "insane" AWS costs is building a product with no viable business opportunity, or just doesn't understand all the direct

I see no compelling reason to move from AngularJS 1.x for both new and existing projects to either React, Vue, or whatever else is hot in certain circles. We generate many millions in business, and I can tell with certainty that the framewo

We live in a sick (figuratively and quite literally) world where people who create an addicting, health damaging product easily accessible to and abused by kids are celebrated for some kind of "success" and rewarded financially as

LOL, the Steve Jobs argument. He's the goto scapegoat whenever someone wants to spread falsehood on raw foods, fruits in particular. He wasn't fruitarian. In his early years (20s) perhaps more so, but in the years before his cance

Don't tell me you're one of those that thinks sugar from whole fruit is bad for you?

None. There was no need to. Focus your energy on actually making more money and growing your business using tools you already know and are most comfortable with. Improving marketing and sales is more important than chasing after the next be

So why are you against making this kind of crap illegal? Why are we doing everything we can to protect society from terrorism, but not so with thousands of car deaths due to alcohol consumption?

Would take about 5 minutes to integrate this... certainly less than it takes to deal with people coming up with their own titles, sometimes without a malicious intent, they just don't know the rules. https://embed.ly/ex

Among other things, we run residential VOIP networks for large ISPs and other operators, and it's ridicilous to see the prices CenturyLink, AT&T and others charge their home customers for just phone service... I regularly come acro

An idiot would be a person taking seriously nutritional advice from a doctor that spent a grand total of ~5 days learning about the subject in medical school.

We are heavy users of GCP and AWS, but still use DO for bandwidth-heavy workloads.

I used to take the F train into the city every day for 2 years back when I lived in NY. That ride is something I miss very much... such peaceful downtime before wifi and all that.

Oh yeah, Twitch should be considered a health hazard for young impressionable kids. Wasting time and life away watching others play is something I just cannot comprehend.

I've been programming for 20 years... I've come across very few programmers who have decent business/financial skills over this time period.

I'm sorry I want more for my kids than them being a car mechanic. Nothing wrong if that ends up happening, but I'm not going to teach them to fix cars at 10 with the intention of them being a mechanic growing up.

I have nothing against knowing how to code, but no 10 year old needs to be doing that, just going to make them even more used to a sedentary lifestyle and away from (real) social interaction.

My issue is not with the act of programming, just as I don't have an issue with the act of writing something on a paper. The issue is that the parents are doing this in order to set the kids up to a career in programming, which IMO i

I don't understand what drives parents to want their kids to become code monkeys. I would rather my kids be financially savvy and have business skills. It sure doesn't hurt to know how to code, but getting them to program in Pytho

From my observation, definitely. They lack social skills, common sense, empathy, have little tolerance for idle/down time, and are physically (and emotionally) weaker and often have excess weight. Their maturity level is also lower and

It's funny, sometimes we think our kids have TOO much freedom. They are in a montessori school, so right off the bat they have much more freedom than most kids in a standard school in terms of what they learn and choices throughout the

We're lucky enough to have friends that pretty much have a similar parenting style, so it's not an issue, but yes, some kids that come to our house are "bored" because we don't have a screen or video games or any of

It all comes from the home. For example, as parents we make every effort not to be on our phones around the kids. Some kids truly believe they are competing with a mobile device for their parents' attention, it's quite sad. Second

Are you a parent? It's quite easy to identify screen zombies at any social gathering, be it birthday parties, class school events, etc.
