That's rather handwavy. The question is about a performance benchmark. From a performance standpoint, rpc and rest are the same (http requests that execute code on the server). The "semantics" you assign to one or the other d

If you're a web developer and your product relies on HTTP, then HTTP is absolutely fundamental knowledge. Similarly, if you're a web developer and your language doesn't even have integers, then understanding twos compliment i

It takes $100 of batteries to store 15 cents of electricity. What kind of cheap storage are you envisioning?
335.
by dahfizz 4y ago
It does get cheaper. The problem is your needs grow in lock step with the growth in CPU & memory. The $5 linode instance is both way cheaper in real terms and way more powerful than the $5 linode instance 10 years ago. 1 modern vCPU, 1G

After more than a decade of never increasing prices and improving the hardware for free, charging $12/mo instead of $10/mo means all hobby projects will die and Linode hates their customers. I think you're being a bit dramati

> Honestly, the only reason to plant non-native plants is vanity. That's a bit extreme. Planting a bit of herbs and veggies in my garden alongside the native forest on my land will neither destroy the local ecosystem nor is it for v

A simple proposition for homeowners - trade your lawn for a bunch of coyotes and raccoons. I wonder why more suburbs don't do that.

Not every single non-native species is invasive and would take over your whole property.

Who decides what is unrelated or not? Amazon's whole retail business started by selling paper books. Extending that to kindle and audio books doesn't seem so outrageously "unrelated". Its more of an ecosystem which has l

That's interesting. Are they taught in Indian primary school that "the layoffs is" is correct?

Anytime your solution to a problem is "Just exert more effort and skill and do it correctly", there is a 100% chance the general public will not adopt your solution.

Computers get faster in benchmarks . If anything, regular computer tasks like checking your email or editing a file has more latency than 5 years ago. Software bloats to fill whatever container you put it in.

These statistics are fundamentally untrustworthy. Nobody reports crimes if they know that the police and the DA don't care.

I find the current situation really ironic. In my experience, conservatives care way more about the environment than anyone. They are the people who live, hunt, hike, farm, fish in the woods. The average conservative farmer/hillbilly h

This omits the preamble of the ethernet frame, which I always found interesting. Every ethernet frame starts with 7 bytes of alternating zeros and ones. This oscillating signal helps the transmitter and receiver sync up.

It's less of an issue with menus as Unicode. We only have ~1 million Unicode codepoints in total. Wasting one for ever local flag would be a mistake.

The people of Maine would disagree (obviously, since they did). Forests don't exist to build over. New Englanders like their forests.

A tier based system doesn't seem inherently unfair to me. But putting a senior dev and a junior dev on the same tier seems pretty unfair. Are you paid well relative to what you could make if you did jump ship? You mention that your cow

> no-one will actually use it because EV conversions are exceptionally rare and generally high priced. Damn, if only there was a way for the government to make conversions less expensive and provide an incentive to grow that industry...

Nobody said the incentive will cover 100% of the conversion cost. TFA quotes a conversion at around $14,000.

I don't understand this article. It complains about parsing an .env file, and that .env files come from 12factor web app methodology? Environment variables existed long before web apps did. And you are supposed to source the .env file

The point is that the average American dev takes home a lot more cash than European devs. Whether e.g. healthcare premiums comes out of my paycheck separately or is paid via higher taxes is just accounting.

Your salary is the cost to replace you with someone else. In person jobs have a smaller market. Everyone is subject to the same COL, so the min salary the employer must pay has a certain floor to it. Remote jobs have a larger market. If you

Everyone is subject to the same macro-economic trends. Massive growth and free money the past few years, now turned into rising interest rates and a bearish market.
