One of the strangest parts about mortgages to me is the "point" system lenders use to sell buyers lower interest rates. They offer a lower interest rate if you "buy points" rather than applying it towards your down payme

The color schemes used in these graphs are not usable for me as a colorblind person. The green-yellow and orange-yellow are indistinguishable to me. That seems like an odd choice when there are only 3 colors in the graph. My general rule is

It sounds like the leak is just the mongodb instances being open to incoming traffic from the internet without authentication. This a common problem with MongoDB, because its default configuration is insecure.

I doubt most email servers actually take anywhere close to 30s to process an email. I suspect most of the delay is the sending server queueing and email client polling intervals.

Apparently functional programming is considered a form of declarative programming. That doesn't make much sense to me, but I guess relative to writing assembly or C it is declarative. The distinction seems arbitrary, because even C and
