This is why I set most services to listen only on localhost. When I need to expose them externally, I put them behind nginx with http basic auth. It's not top security by any means, but it does the job and provides enough security

I personally am not a big lisper, but know others who are. It's not as cool among young people, but there's a certain segment of those, mostly over 50, who will swear by lisp and build some pretty cool things in it. 1. It's

Not wanting to is a really reasonable position, as it is with 100+ degrees. Lots of parts of America get that cold for a solid chunk of the year, so if people can't take a bicycle, how would you build a system to accommodate that kind

95 and 105 degrees are suprisingly different, especially with sun. 95 you can stay in the sun and will burn, but won't get heatstroke (probably). 105 you will get heatstroke unless you hydrate about 1/4 gallon/hr of water

The thing is, a naked 17-year-old and a naked 18-year-old look fairly similar. One is a felony; one is not. It would be evry difficult to distinguish between them. Apple probably wanted to head off the outrage which some person would dru

Not every one has only two kids. It's going to get awfully tough for those with four or five without a minivan.

No one here is objecting to it as a standalone phrase, but as a replacement for a perfectly good phrase that existed all ready. There is no reason to change existing terminology and cause confusion; who decided this was a problem, any way?

Yes and no. Go has its applications, but is not built to replace python but rather to be a better c. That overlaps with the "easy code" part and not much else. Glue code, application scripting, etc. are python's strengths,

You don't need a CDL to drive for Uber. The whole point is that any one can pick up is phone and start driving. How do you stop that? Given the climate of Houston summers, I'd just come in an hour, hour-and-a-half early and do

Taxis are pretty cramped already, as a rule. I cannot fit comfortably in many smaller cars, and have difficulty getting my legs in front of me and keeping my head upright. I'm considered tall, but not hugely so; what are such people

Keep in mind that America does not reveal such things until she has already invented the next generation, typically. I would assume that since this is out, they've got their next version up-and-running already.

That's a crazy definition. By that logic, every dollar up to the optimal point on the Laffer Curve is a "subsidy". Not taxing is not a subsidy. Also, I'm not really concerned how the EU defines any thing; I whole-heat

I know of no nation that places a special tax on rubber duckies. Is there a conspiracy to give massive subsidies to the production of rubber duckies world-wide? Not taking action against is not the same as acting in favor of.

Very. Honestly, they're often not that stealthy (especially N. Korea and Iran) because they have the mantle of an evil regime behind which they can hide. China and Russia barely moreso. Companies with whom I work have been ransomed
