I mean sure, PHP has a package manager and you can write software in it. But what compelling advantages does it have over it's competitors if you don't either have legacy code or are primarily a PHP developer?

This sounds like a cartoon version of what would lead to a genocide. It seems like this sort of thing is usually the product of close proximity, prolonged ethnic conflict, a perceived threat (real or imagined), and other pressures like lack

I like it. It can be done well on web. Check out Google Cloud console as an example. Plus, it's a good match for a responsive design that needs to be able to scale from a mobile to a desktop experience and everything in between.

Web apps need to be usable on mobile devices as well. So you can't use a design that is built with the assumption of precise mouse input without having a separate one for mobile. You can totally consolidate the two though, you're

Personally I find this legislation grossly offensive and threatening.

Hate speech legislation would literally prevent you from criticizing protected groups and treat it as if it were a violent offense.

No. But its still bad to create exceptions to the rule of not jailing your political enemies and then using democracy as a prop to pretend there's nothing wrong.

by jrs95 8y ago
"X is okay only when a democracy does it" is not a compelling argument. In fact that argument by itself undermines the basis of a liberal democracy.

This is still sort of the mainstream view on this, but I think a return to monolithic Rails-style frameworks is coming. Microframeworks and especially Node got a lot of popularity, and then all the microservice stuff started to get popular

Highly unlikely. That would be a massive waste of resources.

Rails might not be perfect, but there's a 95% chance it'll be better than the custom framework you end up building on Node.
224.
by jrs95 8y ago
1. Node on the server does not have a comprehensive framework that compares to rails. You'll roll your own, and it will suck. 2. It's not any more difficult to scale than Node, you'll just need more servers to handle the load

You should have tokens with short durations that are refreshed upon use. That greatly reduces the odds of a token being stolen or leaked and then used before it expires.

Well if you actually buy the all powerful thing, the concepts of effort or complexity don’t really apply

Also not a stretch if you already believe he has involvement in human affairs and also goes out of his way to leave no hard evidence of his existence

This is interesting and IMO generally true. But, not everything that is called a conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory. Asking “who benefits from this policy, and are they in a position to have influence in creating or maintaining it?” i

Um...why should criticizing Israel be lumped in with Nazism and pedophilia?

I think you seriously underestimate the level of mental illness present on tumblr.

> Maybe you’re familiar with the many reasons why people hate Twitter. It’s a time sink, it enables the spread of fake news and bigotry, Yup. Tumblr totally doesn’t do any of that. I guess we are supposed to pretend it doesn’t because it

Well that's not the only downside. You're also nearly $2000 for a laptop with a CPU that is significantly slower than what you'll get in either a new MBP or most Windows alternatives.

Honestly nevermind being tied to one theater chain, I wouldn’t mind being tied to one theater. I go to the same one almost all of the time anyways. And even if I didn’t, there are enough AMCs around that it’s not much of a value add for me

When you say you see it happening in your town, are you referring to an urban or suburban area? Not trying to contradict you here, just legitimately curious. I would think more of the local coffee shop customer would go to this sort of plac

I wonder what the performance would look like if someone got macOS running on it...personally I’m not looking forward to another expensive Xeon based Mac. Sure, it’s not overpriced based on the hardware they’re using. But there’s much cheap

Would be nice if they’d unveil the next generation of consumer GPUs instead of sitting on them just to milk more profits out of the current generation.

This just doesn’t make sense. Google/Amazon employees basically are some random DevOps “dudes”. Whereas your own people would be...whoever you decided to hire to work on your infrastructure.

This is one of those things that even if it can be done correctly in theory, it’s often so bad in practice that it’s probably best to just not do it at all.

I’m not an expert on this but it seems like they just didn’t want to find a way to give you green threads without GIL. This had already been done in another Python implementation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stackle

It seems odd that Python ended up with asyncio when they had a clear and successful model they could’ve adopted from Stackless. It would have been more difficult to implement, but it would allow for the same benefits without requiring an as
