Uptime aside, you also have to consider the effect of a single point of failure when you self-host. If your in-house communication hub goes down when your site does, it's going to make firefighting that much worse and you'll pay f

Putting aside the peril of comparing intellectual property to physical property, this is not true, even in the United States where property rights are quite strong. For instance, there are squatters rights laws on the books in many states.

Not sure what an "ass comparison" is. I didn't argue that there isn't a correlation (never used that word) but correlation != causation. In case it's not clear, I really doubt that Twitter being an also ran has to d

What do Bitcoin and Ethereum have to do with escaping capitalism? Capitalism is an economic system oriented around private ownership[0]. If anything, they epitomize the libertarian/capitalist ideal by providing an alternative to fiat c

+1, thanks for the correction. Apparently I have a skewed perspective only working on web at big corporate joints.

Wut. Time off does not correlate to dev quality. I, and many others, do their best work outside of the normal parameters. It sounds like you think if Twitter engineers worked harder Twitter would be doing better. Besides your anecdotal obse

If you're hitting a single box, this seems perfectly possible - especially if the server or the network is poorly configured. This is what CDNs are for.

I know Python far better than Ruby, but it looks like the semantics are equivalent, it's just that Ruby's standard `open` implementation includes the cleanup rather than leaving it up to the caller as in Python.

It's pretty common for noobs to do this when they have messed up permissions, because permissions errors magically go away. The OP on the Gentoo thread seems more than competent enough to know how to fix permissions issues though, so I

I think what OP means isn't racism, but that only negative issues get attention.

I totally agree with the broader point. I recently traveled to China for the first time, and was amazed by how far out of line my preconceived notions were. I think it's a mental block that keeps the West from learning from Chinese inn

If it is said author's name, why have they not publicly claimed to be this Satoshi? Name one such individual who has credibly been considered to have invented bitcoin.

Totally agree with you here, I think I could have made my point better. He has a consistent ideology and sticks to his guns to be sure. What I meant was he is not liberal in the classical economic sense, nor in the American social sense.

Liberal? Have you read Breitbart? Bannon has ideas about class and economy that support egalitarianism - if you're a Christian, support old-school western cultural values, and are white. Apart from a few populist notions I don't t

I don't get why Stitcher has so much market share. Stitcher injects audio ads, has terrible download bandwidth, and requires the app to hit their central server to download a podcast. I used sticher for the last three months and recent

This was a concern for most professionals. If you were a physician, lawyer, dentist, etc you did this because you didn't want patients/clients looking you up at home. My father, who is a physician, did this and refuses to open an

Netflix built their own CDN ages ago. Given that their core business logic is basically static content delivery whats left to AWS probably is a lot less than commenters in this thread seem to think.

I'm not making the assertion :). But what I was getting at is that the larger-scope problem from this perspective would be the use of a non-functional language.

by lstyls 9y ago
Agree. What makes a pattern a code smell is that it is immediately recognizable and is almost never a false positive. Either the immediate implementation is problematic, or something about the larger context of the implementation is problem

Navy attack ships are much, much faster and more maneuverable than cargo ships or takers. They could have outmaneuvered one easily if they wanted to.

I think the reason it matters isn't because it's the same industry. It's because VC firms often play a huge part in how the workplace culture develops in the firms that they invest in. They have board seats, and CEOs often lo
