I don't teach chemistry... And I certainly don't have a bag sitter (I hope) towards students... But I still sympathize with the professor... You get 16 weeks or so to teach students a topic... Some topics are MUCH harder than othe

Also can't serve advertisements if the end user is offline.. even if the app otherwise requires no Internet connection (e.g. solitaire, sudoku, etc) There's no financial incentive to add extra error handling code in this case.

I don't see the reason for the personal attack. The blog post also calls out that you should not block based on user agent. If a form post didn't respect the action property having a #, that name/email HTML names might be rev

I don't know the author or his reputation, but his suggestions that you linked are (in my opinion) standard actions for any dev/server admin getting spammed by their forms... And the suggestions really only impact malicious actors

I really think it comes down to what you already know, and what you want to do. Sure, I can run my personal website on a Pi, but then I have to do the hoops to try and serve it off port 80/443 since my ISP blocks it. I could spend an e

In my work in severless, we see 10-40 (known) dropped requests power day. I highlight known because many requests fail with transient network errors that never make it to our logs, and others fail somewhere in the cloud provider black box b

I can't cite a source, but I suspect recently freed individuals are more likely to end up back in jail if you bus them to the nearest city and give them $100... This makes them entirely reliant on others... Some will pick family, other

You're basically saying it's a choice to live with someone you love, and to raise someone you love, and you should only do so if you are already financially stable. If I chose to live with and marry the love of my life, and the re

If you don't have a paycheck you're also not living paycheck to paycheck? It comes down to how you want to live, and what you want from life. For our family having 1 kid was something we wanted / expected. It didn't happ
