I thought it was "10 Jews, 11 opinions"? See, we can't even agree on the wording of the expression that describes how much we disagree about things! :P

Is the universe finite? https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20200123104919A... Sadly that thread will soon be gone due to the approaching Yahoo Answers apocalypse. Hopefully Internet Archive will save it!

But the amount of raw material on the planet needed for manufacturing more disks is finite. The amount of raw material in the universe is finite at a given point in time (it could be infinite over time, we don't know if time is infinit

Start by doing the easiest thing: nuke all caches whenever anything changes! It's guaranteed to avoid all invalidation edge cases, and it's "good enough" performance-wise for many applications. If and when that proves in

It's probably gonna be stuck for a while. I'd suggest that all other ships get started on the scenic detour. Set course for Cape of Good Hope.

They don't conflict with each other, if you accept a third conjecture, which is that all the other "typical" human-habitable planets are so far away from Earth, and that our resource limits + our intelligence limits + the law

In my opinion and in my experience, many actual programming languages are fine for defining config, and (due to you inevitably needing some control flow, and them having it built in) are often better than declarative languages. I for one ha

Congrats Dalia! And may your story - that someone from Gaza, especially a girl, is a talented dev (and writer!), and has landed a top global tech job - one day be so commonplace that it's not breaking news.

Seems inevitable that, following this move, the BBC journalists currently in China will be expelled. And AFAIK they're among the few remaining mainstream Western journalists still there, seeing as all Australian journalists and many US

Yes, I have heard of both Pelican and Lektor, I see that they both have plugin systems that allow you to hook in custom Python code via signals / events, should give them a try too (especially Lektor, which is newer, and which I know w

In terms of the privacy and corporate interests concerns, at least, it seems like a lot of this article consists of systemd hate. So use a non systemd Linux distro. Simple! https://nosystemd.org/ can help you choose one. (I

Personally I don't bother trying to drink it, nor worry about tricks to keep it potable, after it's been open more than about 24 hours. Just keep it for cooking! White wine with chicken and fish, red wine with red meat. Although I

I was a Drupal dev for ~10 years. Once upon a time, I built many sites with it, and I recommended it to many folks. Despite its flaws (and it always had flaws), it was a great piece of software in its heyday, and it had (and still has?) an

Pretty good article. As someone who has recently started using Terraform a fair bit (in AWS), I have to agree that it leaves me thinking "surely there's a better way". I agree, it's not code (any more than HTML is), and

He wrote War and Peace several decades before he came out with his ideology, and before he accordingly altered his lifestyle. But then again, his philosophy later evolved to significantly encompass his ideology. So can one separate Tolstoy&

Empire Strikes Back released 1980, complete with its AT-AT walkers. This US military walking tank project kicked off 1981. Just coincidence? Or a big-budget fan-boy tribute?
