I lived in Reston for a few years. For being a quiet far-away bedroom community, it was funny to see how rents exploded, especially once the metro arrived. Apartments in the awful town center area were asking Dupont Circle prices with the 2

Yep I've been stuck on less than inflation level raises at my job for the last 5 years, partially because I started at a really high salary and partially because I'm a wimp* when it comes to pushing for raises; I do like my job

Thank you very much. It seemed like we were just duplicating a bunch of scheme-less json for no reason, but if ES can lose data, that's probably not a good idea.

Actually they learned that general male hairloss is an autoimmune response where your own immune system attacks your hair follicles. Cyclosporine was the reason they discovered this after people who'd receive an organ transplant starte

In Germany, with an 80000€ salary, what would be the monthly take home in your pocket? And I'm assuming they would take out taxes for health system, pension, vacation, etc. In the US in an average taxed state, compare a $150K salary: A

Yeah if you have tons of free time and want to watch the same DVDs over and over. Some of us don't have that much time anymore (I did run Plex when I was younger, though). I'm either willing to pay about $$25-$30 / month for

Not the parent, but because that's all I'm willing to pay for Hollywood's mostly recycled content. Push the price to more than $30, and I'll just use my antenna and find other things to do. I cut the cable cord years ago

Can you explain a bit why ES isn't a good solution for storing data itself? I inherited a legacy Mongo solution, and all the data is duplicated and indexed in ES, so I've always wondered why we're using both. Mongo has none o

I'm definitely not running a production environment. But imagine this scenario: I've got my Linux shell with various tools like GIt, JDK, NPM, NVM, Maven, etc. All the config files are setup in my Linux home in the VM. But the who

It's not the 'raw' search itself. It's the billions (trillions) of queries they've captured: Person X searches for query Y and clicks on result Z. This is far more valuable than the general page rank algorithms that

Breaking up companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are just not gonna happen in 2019 where huge, global mega-corps are the only way to compete outside of small local markets. Even though a lot of these corporations build offices, hire

100% agree. For technical queries, as long as a StackExchange comes up, Google is still okay. But for increasingly more basic searches about a product I'm interested in or a medication or anything else non-complicated that would have g

As far as medications go, Nardil (Phenelzine) is noted as being the best drug, though for numerous reasons it isn't prescribed much anymore.

I still am trying to figure out what WSL has solved for anyone. It works fine for the little tutorials they use to showcase it, but on any real project it is just as bad as what many of us have had to do for the last 10 years if we were stu

I suppose you're right. Before the CoC craze, the open source community just wasn't able to crank out anything of technical value. But since then, things have really taken off, and there's no doubt we can attribute it to the

Just out of curiosity, what else if not the kernel would be interesting to copy from MacOS? I use a Mac but just don't have the inclination to learn about it under the hood (unlike Linux). Besides the various apps they include and the

It’s now becoming obvious the 20-something heroes who’ve taken power from the techies who built these platforms are ensuring the US doesn’t make the same mistake it did in 2016. Considering Trump won close to 50% of the vote - regardless

That's okay. Hardware and bandwidth can catch up. FSX was released 13 or 14 years ago and it's still being sold on Steam. I didn't get into until about 7 years ago, and it still got my fans spinning on my dev laptop which had

What were your initial sleep issues and how does MG help? Also, do you take it right before bed or is it something that just builds up in increasing effectiveness after taking it daily for weeks / months?

I have had rice work several times - maybe it wasn't the rice but just a coincidence. I should note I left the phone in the rice for a few days, and it still didn't work. So I bought a new phone and forgot about it for a few month
