At the risk of sounding like the "why do you need DropBox if you have rsync herr derr" guy, why... do I need DDoS protection from my VPS provider if I have Cloudflare anyway?

I'm actually rather annoyed by the recent trend of basic things like "go touch grass" or "go exercise every day" or "eat more fiber" being scientifically validated, because it's stripping away any and

Yeah, sounds like a reasonable take (the title makes it a bit more... inflammatory?). Of course all business should comply until they can't, at which point it's really not their problem anymore. I think it's perfectly fine to

It's supply and demand - the whole idea is that the high pay will encourage people to move into where supply of labour is needed. It's just that, as some people are finding out, not everyone can code, and especially, not everyone

It's really weird, because "typical" exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, CME, etc) typically charge like, what, a few basis points to trade? Coinbase is charging .60%, an order of magnitude of higher fees, and yet they're still som

I'm a little bit confused on the "sorting perf improvements" bit. Does that mean that if I have a query with a `SORT BY`, it will literally "just be faster"? Surely that sounds too good to be true...?

Yeah, the lack of comma, and the phrase "specifically fraud", are extremely alarming to me. I understand that not all developers are native English speakers, but far more scammers are non-natives than devs are; not to mention, t

Funny thing: in many of the Ivy's, it's well known that the "A"s in Harvard are not the same as the "A"s in the other Ivy's, so we joke that if you want to get an A, you should go to Harvard.
