Except there is a huge market of strategy gamers who buy them strictly for the single player campaigns, and many enjoy the slow and boring aspects of maximizing output before decimating a particular level. So, there's no actual differe

Again, I feel like you're stretching to make an analogy that doesn't actually reflect reality. You can't admit that people enjoy boring effectiveness as the premise of half the worlds' games, while also insisting that it

I really don't see the connection you're trying to make. There are huge swaths of the gaming industry which are based entirely on repetitive and boring tasks, including some of the most popular games in history, such as Bejeweled

If you want a job writing JS in 2021, then yes, you should be proficient with TS. That said, there's not really a whole lot to it, other than pre-defining types for function arguments and objects using a couple extra syntax elements. I

I had to do the exact same thing once -- the mother ran off as I tried to gather her and the sac into a box -- and you could see both the panic as she watched the sac being taken away, and the relief when she was reunited.

The largest spiders are almost universally docile toward humans, so your own assumption doesn't really hold water.

Don't get me wrong, I still find families of baby spiders to be absolutely terrifying in every way, and it takes every bit of my willpower to fight the urge to remove them from existence. But at the end of the day, the key word is fami

A couple years ago I had an experience with a spider that entirely changed my perspective on them and most insects, and now I make a conscious effort to help them as much as possible, instead of kill or even repel them. This particular spid

The method that most frameworks and developers use to accomplish any form of "above the fold" reactivity, is to chunk portions of a page, where each of those chunks gets its own renderer, of sorts, and whatever other dependencies

I pay BackBlaze $7/mo to store 10TB. I feel bad about it, because they definitely don't make any money off me, and I imagine that's true for a lot of their top 5% users.

According to Zoom, they annually host approximately 3.5 trillion minutes of video at 1.2Mbps. That's about $100 million worth of bandwidth for a company that generates $4 billion in revenue. And a portion of those hosted minutes are ac

A billion blog views per month would cost about $750. A million would cost $40.

I'd caution against asserting 200ms page loads and 99 Lighthouse scores -- you don't actually appear to be coming close to either of those metrics.

You paint a very utopian picture, but that's just not how it works in the real world. Throw a dart at a map of both startups and large companies, and you'll find full dependencies included in otherwise small scripts. Sometimes tho

The amount of energy wasted due to poor caching strategies alone could power small countries. Made far worse by the current trend to maximize code readability and organization by using as many dependencies as humanly possible for even the s

How can you say that when Telegram's end-to-end encryption is disabled by default, and you need to go out of your way to create a secret chat? Their default is the opposite of secure.
378.
by bryans 5y ago
End-to-end encryption is not just some buzz word, and Telegram requires you to opt-in to encryption, making it absurdly insecure by default.

I think you should ask yourself why you're willing to expend so much energy shaming a startup for choosing a short name, but not expend the same amount of energy denouncing corporations for doing things that are blatantly illegal. Perh

That's not how business works at all. You don't need to have a massive social media presence (or even a website) to be an operational business. And, in fact, a huge portion of startups operate in stealth mode until they are ready

As you already mentioned, the word "meta" isn't defined and is entirely conceptual. As such, it can't reasonably be associated with an existing product or service, so it can't and won't be subjected to the same

Please at least read the first sentence before asserting your superior legal knowledge. They literally said that Facebook was trying to buy their trademark in the first sentence of the post, which means there is an established trademark tha

They weren't trying to buy just the domain name, they were trying to buy the trademark. Their offer was refused, but they used it anyway. That's quite literally the definition of trademark infringement, made worse that they'v

You claim "very few" jobs are compatible with flextime, yet nearly half of companies in the US already provide flextime options for most of their employees -- and this includes positions at every level. Your assertions are not rep

Outside of procedural manufacturing and public safety, very few industries are incompatible with the concept of flextime. The only thing preventing it from happening is archaic business management practices that were never based on actual r

Namely that an IP "owner" in this scenario could and should also be the participating upstream provider(s) between the requesting IP and malicious actor. If a particular provider isn't participating in the system, the traffic

I think the most crucial functionality missing from a security standpoint, is the ability for one IP address owner to tell another that they're refusing service, and the owner of the refused IP being required to filter that traffic at

Not only do they both still advertise, but their ability to maintain revenue without massive ad spending is based entirely on their users marketing on their behalf -- not on some imaginary perpetual momentum. At least half of Airbnb hosts h

Sorry, but while Apple did succeed in manhandling the music industry, iTunes has never been a beloved piece of software. It has always been trash and barely worked. So to put it on some kind of pedestal is disingenuous, at best.
