Agreed. From a game theory perspective, this needs to be tit-for-tat. Implement a fund dedicated to toppling hostile regimes and creating chaos for them via disinfo in their own countries. Then, measure disinfo operations in the US, and all

> helping foreigners abuse and exploit our immigration laws. Well, that's a woefully short-sighted and zero sum way of thinking. "an impressive 44.8% of Fortune 500 companies in 2023, equating to 224 companies, were founded by

https://dev.37signals.com/page-refreshes-with-morphing-demo/ I'm not being snarky. What apps must be SPA's and why? I'm personally questioning where that line really should be.

Agreed! The pitch is great. Deliver twice as much by writing half as many apps as your competitors to deliver the same features. Let your competitors write a server app and a client app, and keep them in sync, while you. just. don't.

If you're working at a scale where you accumulate a ton of data quickly and don't know what questions you want to ask, it gives you nigh-infinite scalability without nigh-infinite maintenance, so you can ask questions later. The o

At what point is snide, petulant, childish, vengeful or blackmail ever a good way to do business? Reading this, the last thing I'd want to do is ever be in business with this person. The WP Engine side seems much more reasonable to me.

Very cool! It seems like this could solve docker-in-docker use cases for things like CI, perhaps? I would love to see benchmarks of mem/cpu footprint vs. the same workload in raw docker.

Great response, thank-you! I've bounced into vim before. The modal nature threw me a bit--finding :wq written to my code wasn't awesome. :-) I might give it another shot.

Here's an example of extending an IDE (IntelliJ/PyCharm/RubyMine/WebStorm) by driving it externally: I used just a little bit of code to make it so when I command-click a filepath anywhere, it opens in IntelliJ. This wor

You have 10 days of work, two of which go to planning and retro. Now you have 8. But, is there any kind of testing process before the release? Almost no one has CD. CI, sure, but CD? Almost never. So if you assume a few days for QA if you h

Can you point me to this treaty? Russia had admittance into the West. It wasn't serious about it. There was excitement to welcome Russia into commerce and brotherhood with the West. Russia wasn't considered an enemy after the fall

Nonsense. Don't invade your friendly neighbors, and peace is simple. Ukraine gave up their nukes and signed the Budapest memorandum with Russia. Russia turned around and invaded Ukraine. So, sob stories about torn up security "agr

To the contrary, retaliation is game-theoretically sound. You can't allow an adversary to take what they want and win every battle "because they have nuclear weapons" without capitulating world domination to that adversary. T

Not at all. Russia is not interested in that--they'd be one of the worst losers in that scenario. Russia is interested in leveraging the fear of escalation to take every penny and inch of land it can get, though. Letting Russia get

Several things: 1 - Russia is tactically taking advantage of US caution. They amassed their forces on the border with Kharkiv in the wide open and used the head-start to launch an offensive there. 2 - At this point, the US has realized that
