   That's not the lesson I'd learn here. This seems like Google has not yet learned how civil engineering works, which is a crucial component in internet infrastructure. It's unfortunate that Louisville is getting bit hard here.

   I just bought the Conversations app a couple days ago. It looks like, from the Quicksy.im site, that Quicksy is meant to eventually funnel users into Conversations. I'm a little confused by this path. What would make Quicksy users go t

   The problem with eliminating work (which we're getting pretty good at) is that we don't then have a system to support people who don't work. In order for A to not have a negative effect, you have to have B.

    This is kind of fascinating. Filler words and their absence or use is a common topic in public speaking circles. This article manages to address this topic in both condescending and overly verbose ways. I'm sure the author didn't

    Yes, but that then adds a communication barrier. There are more universal ways to describe what happened.

    The phenomenon described is common - making a noticeable effort to hide something draws more attention to what you're trying to hide. Attributing it to a specific individual seems a little weird to me. It'd be like calling lashing

    There's no reason to believe that Cloudflare, a company whose profits come from selling an _actual service_, would do this. I would strongly suggest that you reconsider your choice of metallic headgear.

    The last two companies I've worked for used træfik and haproxy, and just this last weekend I converted my home clusters from nginx to træfik. nginx is fine, but there are now other options that work just as well.

    I appreciate that you thought about your reader enough to alter the password initially for narrative strength. That's really clever.

    Until they're $20/year (tomorrow?) I won't be buying any. I was a little dismayed to see that one I had planned on buying sold this morning, though.
