Same here. My blog is (unsurprisingly) text-based, so the 40-50kb JS file was almost all of the page weight.

Wait, THAT'S why people want to use AMP? I set up AMP on my personal site for a couple weeks because I thought there was an SEO benefit (I didn't see any, so I removed it -- lowering page weight by something like 7x). I had no ide

I rsync the files to a server where nginx serves them. The smallest server option at your VPS of choice will be plenty, particularly if your site is reasonably lean or less than mega-popular.

He's being charged with running a Ponzi-like scheme and being "engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit". A lot of people in his business are aggressive and less than forthright. Secur

That is an oddly fascinating video. He's quite good. I mean, he's out on bail pending charges for securities fraud, but in a way it makes sense, this would be an important skillset for that sort of grift.

This sounds like way too much, but the sibling comment is a bit too little. Saying fatsos don't get a badge and a get a shittier title IS a deliberate status punishment. Reminds me of strong negative opinions I have about high school,

You could not be more wrong about your correction. Not only is this definition current, it is in no way predicated on planets revolving around the Earth. The current IAU definition of a planet (the one that demoted Pluto) is: "A planet

Technically, planets are defined as celestial bodies with these characteristics, not astronomical bodies, and Earth, not being in the night sky, is not celestial. So if you want to play a technicality game then Earth might not be a planet r

Subversion was (to my surprise) only released in 2000, so you'd have to migrate from something even older -- perhaps CVS (released in 1990)? RCS was released in 1982, so you might have migrated from that. SCCS was released in 1972, so

Making a choice that led to the entire management team leaving is tough, no doubt. Making any massively unpopular decision that leads to some of the smartest people working with you to actively flee your enterprise would be hard for anyone.

You could say other people's problems are their own. You could say America does more harm than good, or that we back the wrong horse or have no standards or don't uphold public good. All those are points you could make. But, you a

Or rather, the synthetic ones are only 'fake' insofar as they are passed off as natural (perhaps to gain a higher price). Put a different label on the box (for instance, the label 'Diamonds'), and they're 'real

I just flipped my blog over to AMP, which required essentially no change at all, except adding their cdn'd (but not client-cached) JS and some weirdo attributes here and there. I run a pretty tight technical ship, so that non-cached JS

This is probably better answered by how Rust handles errors generally: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/error-handling.html Suffice it to say, similar magic tricks have already been at work to make handling errors not so

To me, the most promising thing about elm is how much improvement it has seen. The last minor version was a huge leap forward for building real things AND for beginners. The makers of elm (seems to mostly be Evan Czaplicki) think about thin
