They at least partially did. I’m in a not-wealthy area of the Bronx and somehow managed to get gigabit Fios from Verizon. But, yeah, it’s certainly not everywhere yet.

8P8C has the huge advantage of being pretty easy to terminate with some basic, cheap hand tools. I’d hate to try that with a USB-C connector.

I think there’s also some rules in place that say you can’t discourage people from using IAP vs. other payment methods. So a price disparity would probably not be allowed either.

Another good option here is Django Oscar. Probably a bit more complicated than Saleor, but it’s very powerful and customizable.

That’s how the Aurora DBs work, but I believe standard RDS Postgres uses a more typical method of WAL replication.

One note: they had a 2.048 MHz CPU, not a 2000 MHz CPU. 2000 MHz only slightly below modern clock speeds.

You say that as if the problem of not knowing much about the world had been solved. And I say that as someone under 35.

We went the EAV route instead of just a free form text field because we still wanted to expose discrete fields to in the UI and have some front-end validation. But sure, from a data integrity standpoint it’s no better than a text field.

I’ve been through this before: storing a couple addresses for a few hundred different countries in an otherwise very normalized RDBMS. We couldn’t figure out anyway to do it other than EAV tables and a defined attribute pattern for each cou

No, that's not what I meant and I apologize if it came across that way. What I meant was, it's easy to think of an idealized world where a everything has test suites with 100% branch coverage, complete e2e tests, automated screens

It’s alarming how true this is. Many seem almost proud of the fact that they have no idea how to use their tools. That’s definitely not git’s fault.

In real world software dev, I fail to see how a release branch is a flaw. It’s completely reasonable to want to test something in a “gold-master” state before shipping it to prod. Regardless of how many tests you have, that’s just a good id

This is pretty much exactly what we do, except add in a third “qa” branch between dev and master, for the purpose of manual testing before things go to prod.

At risk of starting a debate on the true meaning of 2001 A Space Odyssey, I don’t think “monolith” is derogatory.

What secrets are you putting in your bash profile? I used to be guilty of putting AWS keys in there, I guess, but nowadays we have aws-vault.

There are croissant-based-pastries that are high in sugar, but a standard canonical croissant is savory not sweat. It’s basically just butter, flour, water, and yeast.

I believe the OPs point wasn’t that that’s what we need—it’s that that’s a bad idea. It’s insecure and bound to break things eventually.

Does anyone know why RDS Postgres always seems to lag behind their MySQL offering? I can imagine Postgres is that much more difficult to develop a connection pooling service for, especially since PGBouncer and PGPool-II both already exist a

I’d hardly call it inflammatory. It’s merely a humorous story about over-complication in engineering problems.

From my own experience, I’ve found that Google can be a useful tool. But you have to understand the difficult bits of each language you’re translating between and specifically write around them, making the translations tool job a lot easier

Wouldn’t an easy non-law compromise here be to reword questions slightly? For example, instead of asking “How did humans come into existence?” ask “According to the theory of evolution, how did humans come into existence?“ That would accura

If time is no object, you could do it yourself with a straw. The pumps only needs to be powerful to drain the ballast tanks quickly.
