I'm most impressed that it uses ZERO surface mount devices. My surface mount rework skills have been getting worse over the past 10 years. (Fuck arthritis, man. Too young for this shit.)

20 years since Melissa. TWENTY YEARS. And people still click on things they shouldn't be clicking on. It is amazing the brainpower that goes into developing processes like this just to trick a person into doing what they've been t

Impossible to answer: who "won" politics? Democrats or republicans? Eventually we go from a black-and-white rules (hell, even Go is kind of a negotiation), to using economics as a tool to determine what option satisfies all partie

I had no idea APT supports Tor, very cool! I don't think the OP knows that either.

Dumb question: if the IPs are coming from Route53 for web addresses, why don't you just point them as aliases to the same load balancer? Done and done, right?

Agreed. I wish they would use the NAMES that I gave everything instead of the cryptic IDs. On the plus side, I'm improving my memory?

There are a bunch of microcharges like this that pop up, but reading your thread are you sure AWS is right for your application? You essentially can't afford it and want a free tier and near-free access? That seems a bit unrealistic. M

Ugh! That's the most complex explanation of AWS I've ever seen. He just described a NETWORK, not AWS. AWS has renamed lots of things, but all the scary text configs that used to be the domain of wizened sysadmins have been replace

This is nice, but I'd like a 201-level handholding on git. I've been using it for 5 years and I'm still just a clone/commit/merge/(bang head)/push user yet I know there is tons more it can do that would pr

There are instances where font matters, and I go back to TurboC on my 8086 and Fortran 'scards' on a VMS mainframe + terminal, so I'm not a whiny mod-crazy hipster. > Fonts Creating Bugs: Some fonts are more prone to error

That... that is very ironic. Makes even more sense that growth wouldn't respond to wage increase. Huh.

I agree this can lead to inflation, but the 90's kept it solid even with the boom, right? The problem with this cycle: wage increase -> cost of labor increase -> goods increase -> wage increase -> inflation is, and here&#x2

Odd they only interviewed business owners and employers, and not the people who benefit from higher wages. Of course, this article scratches its head because it is assuming SKorea = USA and South Koreans = 'Muricans. Maybe we should lo

IDK, support for the Vietnam war was sky-high for over a decade, despite the lies coming out of multiple administrations.

Where is the primary source of this, where can I go to see popular memes? I read HN, Reddit and sometimes /., and I guess due to my settings I miss a lot of stuff. I'm not on FB, IG or snap, is that why I'm missing these meme

Paywalled WSJ article. Curious, does this article consider people who have to punch a clock, or is it just for the 3%-ers who can lounge in the morning?

I had a 25+ year gap in my D&D gaming. It started again when I moved to the PNW and met a couple in their 40's who took gaming very seriously, and started playing with them again. They introduced me to something I had overlooked: c

Ah, I crammed a bunch of threads in my terse answer. We use AWS because elastic beanstalk works better for our environment than heroku. Plus with S3 integration (and Route53), we found it doesn't make sense to maintain the OS and to ke

I needed this three years ago! My solution was to use AWS and route 443 to 80 in a load balancer. That way there IS NO MIXED content: it is all HTTPS. (And certificates are free on AWS!) If you don't like AWS, can't you just nginx

The Paul brothers really give me the creeps. I'm old (50+) and don't understand them. My hipness crapped out around the time of Jackass on MTV, and this feels like the rich grandchild of that moment, except now they are entirely f

Funny you should call this out: As an undergrad I got to choose between a prob & statistics path and a complex math / advance calc path. I took the complex math path. However, I was required to take a semester on engineering method

BSEE and MSEE with 8 years of heavy math and the fact that I still have to read the solution slowly and not really get it scares the bejeezers out of me.

The author has done some excellent work. I would love to make this kind of deep-dive compiler / optimization regression part of my own team's continuous improvement because it is so important to stay on top of, but every time I tr

That's entirely possible. The founders are promising customizations as a way of getting new sales, and I think that is the main problem here: trying to grow business faster than support. I kinda see their dilemma: they don't want
