Well the laws here are really stupid. ESAs are not covered under federal law. But service animals are. However - there is no accreditation program for service animals, so you cannot ask for proof that an animal is a service animal. You

No, but you can press the up key to make it not end sooner. You can also press the down key to zoom back out forever.

I first began running linux at home in 1995. It was a wild ride for a few years but I eventually returned to Windows and then OS X. But back around 2013 I got back into Linux on the Desktop. First Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Fedora for th

This code genuinely looks simple. Can you recommend a good resource for getting started with Qt? Also, is this just for desktop development or is there a relatively straightforward to make it cross-platform compatible? If I can build one

Interesting. What I've found is that the users I have that complain are by far the minority of my users. They ask for every little whim, many of them conflicting. If I'd been listening to them my website would be a mess right no

This makes me happy. My latest project (unreleased) has its entire front page - including CSS, Javascript, and images - served in a single request with an unminified response payload of just over 4k. Part of what made it possible was the

It's not political. It's done to remember those who died in combat. Many people have a relative or loved one who died in combat.

btrfs is well over 10 years old and RHEL ditched support for it. My experience with it has not been positive.

Just spent 24 hours grappling with docker issues on fedora 32. In the midst of these issues my OS prompts me to download F33 and I see the migration to btrfs. I no longer trust the Fedora maintainers.

I get most job interest from Indeed these days. Honestly I'm not sure I've ever taken a job off of LinkedIn before.

Around ten years ago I built the analytics system for an Alexa 100 company. The company had a policy of supporting IE6 until its share of traffic was below 1% and it was sitting at around 4% at the time IIRC. This was the figure that was

Processed meat products (including most fast food hamburger meat) are "processed" by adding textured vegetable protein (TVP). What's TVP? It's processed soy flour. It's what makes up 100% of most meat alternatives

I'll point out that in the latest Techempower Benchmarks[1] PHP makes up 20% of the fastest 25 frameworks. It also makes two appearances before the first Java framework. PHP might not be suited to every application, but it's cert

You can't just say "Definitely not" and leave it at that. You have to explain why or you come off as a huckster.

> LinkedIn’s ad platform reported 11 clicks. RMG’s logs showed ten clicks. This is well within the IAB's 10% discrepancy. Also that sample size is bullshit. I could show you the sample size of my $7,000 campaign from a couple mont

If you're talking about serving many requests cost-effectively, then really the problem is not the servers (except over-provisioning, which is rampant. Learn to use tools like AWS' auto-scaling system instead) - it's the cod

I value four hours of my time at considerably more than $200 and the reason I'm able to do that is because I know things like how to configure a database server. But your argument is nonsensical because a one-time investment of time (m

Given that he's complaining about the price I don't think the wasteful costs here are justified. I'll also note the article was just edited and the costs are now up to $171 / month. This app could easily be run on the A

CloudFlare covers the media bandwidth costs for a mere $20 / month. The uploading and media conversion is the difficult and costly (in terms of CPU) portion.

TekMoi is right. I have an Alexa top 6k site which is vastly more complicated (media hosting, load balancing, multiple VMs, DDOS protection, transactional emails, automated backups) which costs $200 / month on AWS. The fact that this

LinkedIn actually disables some features, including certain types of messaging on their mobile site when not accessing it via the mobile app. Infuriating.

I did something similar around 2009. You used to be able to sell RSS feeds on the Kindle, so I created a number of twitter bots that simply aggregated news from a variety of sources on a variety of topics and used Yahoo! Pipes to turn them
