   What is worse, is that I don't know what is worse, if it is real or satire. Poe's Fork? I do like that developers are trying to do something about this framework mess.

   There is already a super-fast flat-file database system that supports sorting (alphabetically and timestamps), ultra-fast lookup and retrieval, and optimized caching -- it's called a filesystem.

   So they could have a consequence-free way to accumulate analytics to make healthcare better. If you have no metrics of a problem, you have no idea how big the problem is, right? Or if a problem needs to be solved. Or how.

    Double the price‽ But my H1B visas let me get them for half the price! I just have to pretend that there are not qualified Americans. Unless there are, in which case I just make up outlandishly impossible job requirements.

    I believe that if someone is willing to murder you in front of what they thought was a real camera, you might as well have had a real camera.

    I can't be the only person not super happy about node being forced on you all the time. Granted, this looks like a labor of love, and the developer has the right to do whatever the hell they want with it, but I am willing to bet that t

    I think in a lot cases you might have this backwards. Many new schools, especially in the South, are built in the county or in a more rural part of the town, because property is cheap or donated there. If the school is a "good" (y

    It is truly a sad state of affairs when the "diversity" being discussed is the ability to ask questions or debate without being attacked because of real or imagined offenses. You know, like a college!

    I might be missing something here but isn't there a big difference between "we don't have any conclusive evidence yet" and "this is a myth and is false"? Also, I think some of the persistence of this "myth

    I think most other items are usage-based because when you use them they are gone. When you use electricity or water, more needs to be generated/cleaned. Not so with Internet. It is more like phone service. If I make a call, nothing nee

    Once you have the laws, the "wobbliness" as a weakness becomes apparent. Go see how many people are on lifetime lists as sexual offenders because they got caught pissing in the woods. Or someone saw them naked in their own house t
