Yes, and for a time that was great. That and more is what they should be doing! Instead, they have thrown away any trust and respect they had earned. Now they are feared.

This is excellent. Upvoted, obviously, but I also just wanted to reply to say I laughed out loud and also thought, "Yeah, that does seem about right."

Precisely. I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, non-narcotic. I am quite fond of chocolate. I find it disingenuous to vilify cigarettes and smoking when alcohol is considered not just okay but popular and socially acceptable. In social ro

Very well. I tentatively stand corrected on the historical significance of unconstitutionality as an effective means to stop unconstitutional government behavior. Nevertheless, and perhaps in part because the Constitution has in fact bee

Disagreement with the Constitution is certainly not new and I am not describing an increase in disagreement with the Constitution. I am describing a diminishing significance of the term "unconstitutional" as a counterargument to

Terrific work! I would be delighted if the same level of developer-friendliness were present in other pieces of our toolchain, most importantly in our version control systems. I routinely feel that while we have version control data struct

Thought experiment: replace "drone" with "gun" in your theoretical. I'm not saying you're wrong or right, though. I agree that the guy is at fault here, one way or another.

Yes, and yes, I use SSL and a password to authenticate the clients. I'm curious where this is going. :)

Yes, same server for inbound and outbound.

Good point! Nevertheless, in my experience, ISPs will unblock port 25 for customers on request. I've only worked with a few in my years, but I've not yet encountered any resistance.

Thanks for the note! I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I evaluate my hosting environment. I expect to switch to a different data center eventually, and that would come in handy.

Despite my grievance elsewhere in this thread that mail servers do not come pre-configured with sensible defaults, I would guess that no modern mail servers are pre-configured as an open-relay when installed. The concern about port 25 rela

Yes, it is. Virtually all normal SMTP servers will re-try e-mail delivery several times spaced over at least several hours before rejecting delivery with a notification back to the sender. I have run my own e-mail server for about 17 years

Agreed. Plus encouraging developers to use higher-performance platforms and frameworks in order to meet load requirements with fewer servers.

Really? I think some of them are actually quite appealing, in particular the last several. I wouldn't frame them as art in my house, but terrifying isn't where my mind goes.

Thank you for singing the praises of bookmark keywords, which are apparently a long-lost and forgotten feature to many people. I love all of mine, and it sounds like you've created a great library of your own. Good thing neither of u

I read that as if to mean that it would be possible for the ISP to set a limit, say a 10 GB monthly cap, and once a lower threshold (say 5 GB) is reached, decrease bandwidth as usage continues to climb. As usage grows and bandwidth decreas

I live in Hawthorne. Residential real-estate is fairly expensive in some areas (western side, where ~1200sqft goes for ~$700K), but commercial real estate is still not that expensive. Plus, Hawthorne is very diverse and Spacex is located

You have recalled correctly! That approach is precisely what we have taken with the TechEmpower benchmarks.
