Sounds different from "missing" stop signs. Sadly, I see people come to rolling stops at most stop signs... so much so that it makes me feel like I'm the only one wasting my time doing it right. It's one of the many th

Speed, okay... and sometimes it's safer going faster than the posted limit (IE with the flow of traffic). However, if you're missing stop signs, you're definitely doing something wrong - either driving too fast or not paying

Depends upon your concerns and what you're willing to accept. What would define success as? Do you need stable income? Are you wanting to bank on them being the next unicorn (looking for equity)? There is so much required to understand

Your argument is somewhat like suggesting every program be written in assembly because the theoretical upper limit of code performance is paramount to everything. It's a trade-off between convenience and performance, and PHP7 performan

It's hard not to love the CPU usage graphs. Same would go for the memory usage graph if it wasn't scary, looks as though the application is using no memory at all. I've also been looking around for places using PHP7 in produc

I'm actually curious what possible technical reason would prohibit them from running for 48+ hours (or indefinitely). IE some kind of garbage collection issue. I'm unaware of any reason they should ever have to be rebooted aside f

I have no experience with aviation, why do they need to be rebooted at all in less time than they can fly without refueling? It would seem with such a critical system the tolerance for rebooting would be exceptionally low. The F35 is not a

I've done something similar by creating a 3rd party companion website for an online marketplace (which has ~50 employees), but haven't contacted the company directly. Now I'm stuck. What Shane did requires not only hard work,
