Yep, I too have stopped using my real name. I have an internet nickname which is "close" to my real name that i use for most sites because I am tired of having problems with my real name. This is really annoying because whenever I

I mean, he was "resurrected". But I guess what is the difference between a witch ressurecting you with a magical force, and a doctor resurrecting you with CPR.

tl;dr: the term "act of God" has been around for thousands of years. Translated several times. It wasn't until only a couple hundred years ago that the term "God" was ever introduced into the phrase. And even then,

I can confirm that dark mode does not work on iOS Firefox. I tested it a month ago and figured an update was coming soon. But I just tested it again on iOS 13.1 with everything up to date and still no luck. Safari works as my control.

True, but does it have to be? The beauty of this setting is that it falls back 100% gracefully. Basically if your OS and/or browser doesn't support it, then you just see the "normal" version of the site. Because Dark Mod

This could be the argument against any framework (frontend, backend, animation, graphing, or anything else). At this point, I think you could back any of the major 3 frontend frameworks and feel confident that your project is safe. I am not

I couldn't agree more! I too use Vue.js 2 as what i would call an advanced user. I use it daily as my primary front-end framework. I currently love Vue.js as it is. I have followed along with the fixes, improvements, and changes, and c

I can confirm that this is accurate. There are a few tiers and it varies seasonally. I run a YouTube channel with ~80k subscribers at the moment and I get about $3CPM (price per thousand). I actually make closer to $5 and even $6 around the

I too use a mixture of server and serverless solutions on AWS and you hit the nail on the head. Serverless is a really great solution for certain things that don't need to run all the time. If you are hosting a web server that needs to

Wow i had never heard of this offer. But it seems like it was a good deal without even dumpster diving. What does a Medium Drink at Wendys cost? Probably $1.50? So buying 32 medium drinks would cost $48, which would get you a free one-way f

Plus it doesn't really make sense to pay $150 a night to steal a $150 tv either. Especially when you have announced who you were and provided contact details before you stole the TV. Maybe the theft just isn't worth it at that poi
