But their employees collectively do. I know this is not the approach the US court system decided to humor, but there's no way around journalists' rights.

This made me laugh because I can't name a single compiler that _doesn't_ do black magic. But I concede that a thing that coerces your functions into async without adapting the corresponding calls is hilariously broken.

I'd say this was React, not JS. And I do feel that all the back end conventions that have emerged around Node.js, etc. are a clusterfuck. Can JS succeed in the back end? I say yes, but not like this.

I have the distinct feeling something went over my head here, hehe. Regardless, thanks for the insight.

Not wrong, but I think the hope was more to have "8-trinit" bytes i.e. something with more states than a classic bit.

Gonna pile on: you really really really have to go all in on coding exercises. These infuriating and stupid coding assessments are just that. But you absolutely will make it past that hurdle. And if you're gunning for senior positions,

Yeah. Not sure "flourishing" and "suffering" form a useful dichotomy for "wisdom" to begin with. Life is way more complicated than that.

This gave me a good chuckle. For those wondering, `count` was the go-to and I can tolerate an argument that `contains` is a negligible improvement.

Come on, this kind of defeatism only emboldens entrenched players. Yes, we're awkwardly cornered - hardware used to be open or easily reverse-engineered. Now it isn't. The solution is to demonstrate the demand for open hardware. N

It's tricky. From everything I know first hand and reading, both piracy and streaming never had a net negative impact on the artists themselves. This was often only a concern for labels. I don't want this to come off as backpedali

This is kind of moot. If the artists literally can't afford to make music, they have no incentive to maintain relationships with any kind of distribution platform. So everyone will be listening to a lot more "old music", not

Potentially unrelated but it confused me for weeks: If you are using 24.0 or 24.1 of OpenWRT, there is a catastrophic bug affecting IPv6 throughput. Most recent version fixes it.

No easy answer here. Individual MTAs or a cluster of them typically live under one unique domain. In your scenario, you'd have to point your existing records (or just MX) to your self-hosted instance, and have your self-hosted instance

Moot. When private equity and conglomerates get involved, operational concerns like waste and quality of service no longer matter. The only thing that matters is making money.

I wanted to use Wayland but with both NVIDIA and AMD I would get this abnoxious display bug that would make all my open windows black, so I'm stuck with X11. For whatever reason this doesn't happen with Wayland+Intel.

Goddamnit, I just moved everything to Namecheap to avoid more outages. Anyone have other recommendations in the event of the likely private equity rot?
