So, a reasonable question to ask is what can I recommend to non-technical people when they need a website quickly and inexpensively that won't make me feel like I'm setting them up to get owned? Also what advice should I give to W

Putting even a very short lived cache in front of it basically removes the issue. But perhaps asking people to understand, for example, nginx micro-caching, defeats the purpose of WP. I'm not terribly concerned about WP performance, i

What's interesting about dealers (at least the very low level ones that addicts typically buy directly from) is that they're often selling dope to support their own habits or to get ahead in a world they see as being stacked again

When the article is less sensationalist, HN often expresses an interest in stories about drug addiction. I can see a couple of reasons for this. First, there seems to be a prevailing view here is that the war on drugs is an abject failure.

True - although one often prefers the OD not be fatal.

The mention of Fentanyl here is pure clickbait. Fentanyl is pretty well known amongst opiate addicts (and has been for a while). Everyone knows it's dangerous, including dealers, who like to avoid killing their customers and catching

It's possible that he refers to a cache miss "going out to disk" by requiring a read from a different data store (a SQL database, for example). But this is really kind of silly - the entire idea with caching is that misses ar

Great post. Antirez delivers once again! I think this is an excellent read for anyone who wants to gain some insight into coming up with pragmatic, real world solutions to problems (caching) that are usually taught in a very formal, "

This stuff has been in use in the probation and parole system for decades now. Whether it's a "sophisticated" algorithm or a sheet where a parole officer writes down numbers and adds them up, there's this constant idea t

I'm not really advocating a simplistic reading of Russia's history. There are broad themes that are very important to understanding it, and these are generally constant. Among them is the tension between looking inward and outwa

It goes back and forth. There's a constant tension in Russia's history between the West and "East", used in this context to mean an essentially anti-western turn.

Really interesting read there too. Thanks :-)

This is still relevant today. As Kennan points out, Marxism was a mere "moral fig leaf" covering the nakedness of "insecure nationalism". The fig leaf seems to have been replaced in the era of Putin by a sort of general

Don't authenticate to servers with a password. Ever. Use public key authentication. What's wrong with good old fashioned pam modules to put users in sudo/non-sudo groups?

I think the data were taken among Americans (they included Native Americans). You're right though, and looking at data from other countries with stronger gun restrictions would be an interesting way to check this hypothesis.

A mistake and an insight. The idea that white men have the highest suicide rate is misleading - they have the highest rate of success, which is very likely because they are the most likely to own guns, which are far and away the most effect

The `/run` command is pretty essential for debugging mods. I think that it'd be a wise idea to disable it by default, and allow an advanced user to change a setting in a file to turn it back on.

Sort of. Blizzard goes to great lengths to keep players from running "bots". For example, a bot might allow a player to run an account 24/7 that would just kill a specific monster over and over until a certain rare and valu

I don't have experience with Sequel and rails 5 specifically. The thing is, models are really not very coupled to rails. We don't have to do anything special to use Sequel models - it has good support for Rails migrations and ev

Good work! On some work projects I've gotten a lot of mileage out of breaking with the traditional Rails patterns in favor of stuff like `Operation` objects. Too bad I didn't know about Trailblazer! I also agree about Rails makin
