There is some level of importance in bigness. All the major public resolvers let nameserver operators (well, anyone, really) clear cached records. Which turns out to be a not-uncommon occurrence. I wrote my own DNS server, so I've been

I have 3 layers: Online: A big BTRFS "raid 1" (block-based mirroring) array. This is what Plex runs off of. If I lose a drive, I just replace it and rebalance. I run btrfs scrubs weekly. Offline: I have a WD external hdd with a pl

There is also a real reason for it not to be done with NFTs: it would take about thirty seconds for someone to be scammed and open a support ticket with [whoever - it won't be the right person, but I guarantee someone is getting a supp

Isn't that supposed to be how capitalism funds and incentivizes R&D though? There is market demand for a Thing, if you can figure out how to make Things then the market will reward that with profit. Honestly, for being the firm to

It is! Trading your own account in front of a client's order with knowledge of your client's order is, indeed, frontrunning! However, given domains are not securities and domain registrars are not FINRA members or registered secur

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, aside from knee-jerk reactions to any questioning of taking the vaccine being perceived as being in bad faith. Which is perhaps fair as of late. But I think your comment asks a fair quest

I think the biggest challenges that Ruby faces are: * No built-in type hinting (you have to reach for Sorbet which is a lot more than just hinting) * developer ecosystem seems to struggle to get gravity around anything that's not web-r

I think this is a bit of an uncharitable comparison though. NFTs and crypto are explicitly supposed to have real-world value and uses that are more or less completely divorced from their use in these games. If you delete the game, the items

I think that's a PRETTY uncharitable analogy and interpretation of the OP's actions. I would say it's more like: You are walking down the street, and notice that there is a public noticeboard. It has a list of names, yours am

Agreed. I personally carry a Citi card (double cash) because it has the best (for me) rewards, but I also carry an AMEX blue cash preferred for which I pay an annual fee. The customer service I get from amex is DRAMATICALLY better than from

I think the most salient part of this is the remarking that being a billionaire is immoral. I don't think being a billionaire is necessarily immoral, but I definitely think it's incredibly difficult to do so without being immoral.

IME, it's because when you view vim as just another element in a list of "things that let me write code into files", where sibling elements are "IntelliJ", "vscode(ium)", etc, then vim comes off as looking

Yeah, I know they exist. But they're never going to replace youtube in the foreseeable future, so having tools like youtube-dl, which would allow us to load content from youtube into peertube, for instance (or to archive it anywhere el

This isn't a great specific example (it's "just" a meme and not even a particularly culturally significant one in the grand scheme of things), but in general this is why projects like youtube-dl are important. It might n

Yes, but as someone who ran a medium-sized server (200ish players), depending on what your map looked like, you occasionally found yourself spending a lot of time doing GC tuning, especially back in java 7 days when we didn't even have

I've changed, but not in my overall opinion. At first, I didn't like bitcoin because of its energy use and lack of regulation (which protects end users, believe it or not). Now, I don't like it because it's become this b

Never send to know for whom the bell tolls. As another comment said, if the unvaccinated were willing to stick to their "ideals" and die at home instead of an ICU bed, I would be a lot more amenable to arguments against mandates.

It's even more obvious when you flip the relationship around. What's it called when your broker lends you money, at a fixed interest rate, for you to then go and invest in risk assets? It's a margin loan. Which I hope I don&#

I agree, I really like both Java and Python and I've typically used Java for anything that's a service and I've never been let down. I've owned a few python services and have been... disappointed with them overall but ge

But I think most people and tools consider "containers" to be volatile storage, like RAM. Non-volatile storage would be volumes. Honestly I think there is a lot to be said for making the writable layer of a container read-only. It

Basically what the other comments said. I specifically work on data stuff so it's all python and java/scala on linux servers.
