Thanks for the genuine response, it wasn't a troll comment.

Sure, but if one works, why wouldn't the rest? It's like saying "we built a car engine, but every 33rd car we make the engine doesn't" work. That's not a very good engine. Also, not sure why I am getting downvo

I don't understand what makes the functioning of all the engines so difficult (I know nothing about rockets). How is it that you build something so expensive with so many development resources and expect parts to fail?

When I was about 9/10, my grandfather put ZSNES on my computer, along with ROMs for most SNES games ever made. ZSNES gave me some of the best memories of my childhood. The coolest bit was that he had soldered a real SNES controller so

This is a nuanced topic. I think I probably have more firsthand experience with this subject than most. All I can do is share my own viewpoints: 1. It's not uncommon for hard-opiate users to willingly ingest or even seek out fentanyl.

If you want to change a life, get a company to hire one person that you know is a decent human being but once made a bad decision. Often, it's that single opportunity that so many of us ever need.

> He had his chances to be a productive, tax paying member of society and he blew it I love this thought that people in the US with felony convictions can just go out and be: "productive, tax paying member of society".

The thing about writing public apologies is that there's no way to differentiate them from crocodile tears. You can't tell whether the person posting it genuinely means those things or is saying them because they know other people

You might consider emailing him. It's lonely in jail/prison. Suddenly everyone you thought were your closest friends don't speak a word to you again. If you're lucky, you've got a wife or parents that'll write

So, I have a legitimate question about this sort of thing: My grandparents are getting older, and historically their health hasn't been the greatest. I get to visit them maybe once or twice a year. I might see them less than 10 times a

The sole reason I haven't migrated to NPM to be honest is the lack of a replacement for "yarn run". I use "yarn run" incredibly frequently, for things like "yarn run nodemon" and "yarn run tsc" o

After the Yarn 2 debacle, I've been using Yarn 1 (as well as most people who use Yarn that I know). I briefly tried Yarn 3 but it also did some weird things. Here's to hoping that Yarn 4 "just works" the way Yarn 1 does.

In databases, "locks" have a very specific meaning. What engineers would call a "lock", is referred to as a "latch" in DBMS internals terminology. A "lock" then is a higher level abstraction that func

CXL for Persistent Memory, as the Optane successor (or rather, sole-survivor if you will) is what excites me. Persistent Memory databases are such a neat idea, it's a shame that the hardware for it isn't commonplace.
