8.2 is going to be a stopping point for a lot of projects that rely upon older code that has dynamic properties in classes. It's not a particularly hard fix but I imagine it people will quickly end up in fork/private repo hell as

Those who make claims of the form "X language/framework is used by novices and the incompetent, almost exclusively" fall into two camps: 1) Inexperienced, insecure newbs, or 2) Assholes.

There is research on this. I believe it was Thomas Espenshade, social scientist at Princeton, who had data on test prep access, modeled along with SES, etc. Test prep is worth about 40 points on the SAT. Not trivial, but not a game changer.

S3 has no minimum fee. For a small site they'll probably send you a 4 cent invoice each month. You can then throw cloudflare in front of the S3 box for free. Alternatively, as others have said, you can just plop them on the server and

Even if Google were to change their policies to allow this youngster back on in five years, he'd be helpless to actually get Google to respond to a support request.

This seems to me to be a hefty bill for the traffic received. I run devops on a site with 1.5-2mm unique users a month, bursty traffic, and our monthly bill is just a couple hundred higher than his. We are overprovisioned.

The article misses how poker went through a similar transformation with solvers. Up until a few years ago, the best players used theory and principles to devise their own personal strategies. Those whose strategies were theoretically the st

I used it at a college internship because it was the only dynamic language we were allowed to use to access an old Oracle database. At the time (almost 20 years ago), it seemed kind of luxurious compared to PHP. I just looked it up and real

At first I thought they were renaming the IDE, which seemed like a clearly bad idea. Makes sense to rename the company I guess. It tickles my brain every time I see it when I am reminded that the same guy who made ColdFusion and a diet app

I won an appeal for suspicious payment. But my account is still suspended because it thinks I have unpaid balances, which I do not. They've ignored this appeal for 3 weeks.

I had basically this exact experience. I finished a no-profit side project and wanted to get some traffic to it so I started a small campaign. I was immediately suspended for suspicious payment. After literally months of trying to convince

The overhead from processing class names is trivial. Things like ads or heavy images actually slow the user experience. This type of thing isn't worth worrying about.

It's really not just syntatic sugar for style. It's a design system as well as a set of utility classes. Consider the difference between <span style="color: #cccccc">Gray text</span> and <span class=

It pushes you to componentize common UI elements. Feel bad to have long utility classes that look like <button class="bg-blue-700 border border-transparent hover:bg-blue-900 ring-2 ring-offset-2">. Change it to: <submit-

The treatment here is regular social media use and video game playing. This not something where you can randomize people to treatment conditions, like you can with malaria. Likewise, tell me -- what would be a good instrument for estimating

If the noise in polygenic scores is random, all that will do is reduce correlations. Random measurement error always reduces the ability to observe relationships. To be clear, I do not know enough about polygenic scores to judge one way or

I do not believe the payment was ever attempted. If I remember right, I approved a max spend budget, put in payment details, and then the account was immediately suspended before anything could be charged as the ad campaign never ran.

To their credit, the automated system told me I was banned and couldn't talk to anyone until I got unbanned, so I never got anyone on the phone.

I created a small ad campaign to advertise a side project. The projects makes no money, has no plan for monetization, does not use passwords. The only personal data it collects is an email address. I bought $50 worth of ads using my credit

Virtualization on TrueNAS/BSD leaves a lot to be desired and in my experience just wasn't nearly as mature as on Linux with KVM/qemu, etc. Likewise, BSD jails seemed to me to be really well thought out, but when it came to ge

Agree. I went to Proxmox and virtualize TrueNAS. Best of both worlds IMO and not at all any more difficult to manage.

There's a deep irony in this document. Explaining it, I fear, would be way too mean to the author.

What Rails has done with HotWire and the Laravel community has done with Livewire is the sweet spot for me. Everything is in one place, very little doing things twice -- like validation -- in the front-end and back-end, one router, HTML ov
