> unless the throw him in a cage until he regurgitates his private keys. In the UK it's a crime to not disclose keys or passwords to the police, even if it's only for investigatory purposes. So they could have done this before

From a totally personal/non-policy perspective: On one hand, I feel I might be selfish for supporting something that’s obviously in my interest given I’m vaccinated. And hey, if I’m vaccinated, I shouldn’t be so worried about being in

I took the same path but package management on OSX makes it seem almost worth going back. Almost.

I don't think so... you can predict things won't go well without necessarily having observed exactly the same thing in the exact same context. E.g. I'm sure tourist issues when travelling to North Korea are vanishingly rare,

If you're confident that you've no reason to apologize, I'm not sure you really need to do the other stuff. The power of Twitter seems massively exaggerated, especially if you're already a successful individual. The gen

Yes, the parallel is a rhetorical device. I don't think being shirtless is equivalent to being homeless. But I do think it's a difference of degree rather than type, and hence similar reasoning can be applied.

by carmen_sandiego 6y ago
The target of both 'jobless' and 'unemployed' is the individual, so I'm not sure how you arrive at your assertion that one doesn't focus on the individual.

by carmen_sandiego 6y ago
'Shirtless' people are often described in the context of being some drunken yob or party goer. Or in some sexual direction. The connotation is typically negative. And yet it somehow doesn't destroy my ability to reason abo

Sleeping rough is a term used by people straining to find the right PC phrase, not by the average person in conversation.

Trust me, unhoused is also clunky. This is not how English works. Who thinks it does? If I'm shirtless , is that an innate property of me as an individual? Should I refer to myself as person without shirt just so people don&#x27

Well, they're using an awkward euphemism to refer to homeless people, so I would bet somewhere in the US.

So yeah in that case I would do Incremental Static Regeneration but don’t pass all your product paths at build time. Instead you can use the fallback mechanism to render individual product pages on request, but then serve the result static

I'll have to disagree. I use Next because it offers SSR plus the hydration step for a fully-fledged React app on client, and the ease with which you can pass stuff between the two. SSR for paint speed and SEO/bots/meta/

It's a little more complex than that. Naturally an 'always running' server is faster when you're not getting a cache hit or you're running into a Lambda cold start. But for stuff served from CDN cache it won'

Well I liked it as a kid; grabbing all the pages at once and slamming it open at the index to find whatever toy I was looking for. Taking one home to leaf through later as well. I still vaguely remember the order of the sections. Now that

Sorry, when I say "smuggled out of China", I don't mean it was illicitly gained cash or anything. China doesn't allow the export of currency above a certain (pretty restrictive) amount, so people sneak it out. I don&#x

Generally, a private business doesn't have to transact with you, so yeah they can just say "no I don't want to sell you this if you're going to use a hundred dollar bill". Legal tender is only a thing for the settle

What are you talking about? The US doesn't give carte blanche either. Discrimination law exists. Other labor laws exist. Exactly as this article refers to as being 'not carte blanche' in the UK. 'At will' in the

I've worked crappy jobs and never worried about getting fired. The crappier your job, the lower the threshold it's considered 'expensive' to replace you. It's not that hard to meet that threshold of contributed va

Cool design + polymer, but they should probably just abolish the £50 already. Very few places accept them. Never mind the £100 notes you can get in some parts of the UK. I would say they should encourage better acceptance of these denomi
