Traditionally new/old animal species are discovered in the meat markets in Asia, so this is a step up. I suppose someone need to scour those backwoods for new species. In fact, they could probably publish an app and have kids in the ar

Why isn't "write documentation" in that list? I mean sweet Jesus, it's 2023. Write some fucking documentation. There are also these things called comments that you can put in your code so you can explain why you're

I still can't believe that twitter never had a dev/test environment. I mean, what's the VP engineering's excuse for that, they didn't have enough Aerons to build a real dev/test environment? What about document

What's interesting is that the US has been issuing a tremendous amount of debt, and the volume of that debt is a lot more than what should be possible under standard economic theories. Interest rate are still historically low, even aft

Ethics is a funny thing. Why do the ethical concerns of gene editing matter, ethically, when there are billions of people starving? Instead of spending time and money on ethics of a few, why not spend that time and money on helping others w

You're assuming that One Medical's interests are different than Amazon's. You're probably wrong. One Medical is there to make money. Amazon will make One Medical more efficient at making money, even if that means forcing

I saw this and went back to the black book to read up, and yeah, type 1s are limited to a certain subset of PS because the font is pre-tokenized. Interesting I never noticed that before now. FYI Type 3s were totally widely supported, and su

This paragraph is just wrong: "Another explanation is that the Internet has unnecessarily coupled the transport protocol with the rest of the RPC framework. Conflating the two naturally follows from the purpose-built examples I just ga

The OSI model was standardized in 1984. The first TCP RFC came out in 1980, with versions existing in real life before that. The OSI model isn't, and has never been, the be-all end-all of networking models, and it's bizarre to me

It depends on what you charge your customers. But with higher commitments come lower costs. We will be dropping our cost down to .007 per GB when we hit a higher tier, but we can't do that commitment quite yet.

When it comes to cost, the article is wrong. What you do is get a quote from all the CDNs (akamai, fastly, cloudfront) and talk to your AM in the CDN you want about matching the other guy(s). Our CF cost is .02/GB, no region delta, no

If you don't understand why errno is bad then it'll be hard to explain it. Errno is fine if you're accessing it right after a stdlib function that sets it, because it's the equivalent of a function's error code. Onc
