I don't know about "enormous cost"... if we're assuming that you can handle taxes this year, the changes to support next year have to be comparatively minor. It's definitely true that you need to keep current or th

The precision of the instruments is a much bigger obstacle than the representation of the value. You would be just as uncertain that the unit cube has volume 1.000000...

In the US, there's an informal hierarchy of what kinds of cuisine can be "fancy" and demand an above-average price. French, obviously, and most other Western European cuisines can be fancy. Which isn't to say that there

You're not wrong, the universe with SameSite available is safer than the ones without it. The migration is just frustratingly painful for those of us stuck between slow framework updates, unsupported browsers, and customers who are slo

My understanding of "virtue signalling" is that it contains the notion that the proclaimed position isn't sincerely held and that it is professed solely as a performance for others. "Grandstanding" is being loud a

Exactly. I don't want to assume gp doesn't understand the difference between unit and integration tests, but I think the only alternative conclusion is they don't think there is value in unit tests. I disagree, and happily in

Didn't AOL go through this exact same thing back in the day? I'm pretty sure I recall them having volunteer moderators was declared illegal.

I was just thinking about this the other night... my waitress's name was Leslie and I remember hearing that it had been predominantly a male name. Maybe that's not accurate, I didn't see it in the list. Regardless, it's

Try not to take it personally. With relevant details not made clear, people have to try to fill in the blanks. Wondering about the table definition is definitely understandable.

Sure, it's a common pattern and the right one in many scenarios. But especially for non-cloud deployments it's very common to store session data in process memory or temp data to local disk, etc.

I ran into this when we concatenated our css so all the styling would load with one round trip. No warning in the console, IE just ignored the rules after the 4095th. And because the concatenation was a build step you wouldn't normally

That's not what I've understood "stateless" to mean. Sure, anything more complicated than a calculator app is going to rely on data stored elsewhere, and in Lambda world that means you're reading from DynamoDB, S3,

We deploy to a test stack and run a full integration test of the code running in AWS. I believe it's also possible to self-host locally, but we never really looked into it.

"Deep state" is intended to sound sinister. Brietbart coined it and it's amazing how quickly it's entered our political lexicon.

Not sure which of those you think they would be violating? And they own it, so the license doesn't apply to them, it applies to everyone else. (Apologies if you're making a joke and I'm ruining it)

So I should have said, "Is there a reason you can't just build debug binaries at the same time as you build release"? I mean, I guess, but it's a little disappointing that this is the nugget that you've been dancing

I don't get it. Are you saying it's too hard or it doesn't solve the problem? It's worked in my experience. I mean, my response isn't entirely a rhetorical question. If there's a reason it wouldn't work I&

How is that better than just renting out the next one with the fewest rentals? Maybe it's easier to pick at random than to track an order? But then the randomness is for ease of implementation and not a fundamental part of your solutio

The development programs in Toastmasters are fine, but I think the real value is in providing a venue to practice and experiment. You don't get better at things without practicing in a realistic environment, and that's hard to do
