These stores appear everywhere, even in areas with high income. You'd be surprised, but often people with those high incomes shop for certain products at very low rates, and that's how they keep their savings. A good example is ga

My card tied to my main financial institution have the raised digits, but most cards you'd sign up for online now no longer have the raised digits (and often allow you to select art to appear on the card face).

Unfortunately they are largely corporate, which is how they can sell items for such a cheap price. The store manager probably has zero say in nearly anything. Even if they wanted to "break the rules," I doubt they could make use o

They still capture the name on the card, so I would be careful about trying this, unless you can make use of a prepaid card.

I was having issues a few hours ago. I'm now able to access the portal, although I get lots of errors in the browser console, and things are loading slowly. I have services in the US-East region. I have been having issues with GitHub a

I would have as well. I remember in the 1990's seeing teens on TV that had taken it, and they were smoking imaginary cigarettes, and speaking to people that weren't there. I thought that sounded amazing until I read the trip repor

This site helped me tremendously in my youth, with staying safe and giving me actual knowledge about different chemicals, rather than the complete abstinence information from programs like DARE. At one point, I found that a psychoactive che

My most expensive resource is RAM, so I've used performance profiling tools to make sure I'm using it efficiently as I can. At this point, I think I would need to start directly profiling the CMS libraries, and start contributing

I've definitely fine-tuned my headers, and using all the features of the CDN that are available. The improvements I made were after taking a look into the performance profiling tools, where I could see improvements to be made in RAM-us

This website taught me a ton, even after I thought I knew more than enough about performance. Just seeing how different databases generate and execute their SQL is a huge boon (and sometimes extremely surprising when looking at one DBMS to

If you are looking to squeeze every ounce of performance from your entire application stack, I'd say you should be looking at everything your ORM produces. The ORM is basically to speed up your developers time to production, but most O

I truly appreciate articles like this. I am using the Umbraco CMS, and have written code to use lower than the recommended requirements to keep the entire system running. While I don't see a use for using a Span<T> yet, I could d

I have been using the Umbraco CMS since 2013, and they moved from AngularJS 1.x to Lit for the backend technology. While it was frustrating at first, due to a lack of documentation around the specific CMS APIs, I can see that it was a great

by progmetaldev 1y ago
I have been taking a deep-dive into Lit recently, because the CMS I use (Umbraco) has built their BackOffice (CMS management interface) in it. It has been fairly easy to grok, other than learning the CMS specific libraries. With that said,

I paint with blue fairly often. I understand that it might be the hardest to create artificially, but it is done regularly in the modern world. Could the fascination be due to psychological reasons, like blue light being linked to sleep dif

I think the fact that you are able to even setup a VM with GPU-passthrough probably means your knowledge of using Linux is far greater than most coming from Windows and Mac. I'm someone that uses Visual Studio for work often, but the f

Curious what you run, instead of Debian. I haven't had the same experience as you've had, but for myself, Debian has just worked other than having to provide my own wireless adapter driver .so file when I installed off a thumb dri

Are you running your own system for personal use, a service available to the public, or both? Do you normally see your system used consistently, or does it get used differently (and in random ways)? Since you state you're running a bro

I think you're 100% correct in that this isn't a normal event to occur. I believe it's probably one of those things where someone felt that setting it to memory is just more efficient in the general case, and they happened to

This is exactly why I use Debian when I install Linux. I want something that will keep chugging along, yet may not have the most cutting edge software. I can take my time with the system, and know that it is solid. If I need newer software

Shame is an underrated way towards pushing for better standards. The problem is getting people in the know, and having them vote with their wallet, or at least public sentiment (social media pressure).

Curious if the content on those sites might have high value to Google? Such as if they have data that is new or unavailable elsewhere, or if they're just standard sites, and you've just been unlucky? I have had odd bot behavior fr

I believe it's both. We're at a place where legislation hasn't really declared what is and isn't allowed. These scrapers are acting like Googlebot or any other search engine crawler, and trying to find any kind of new co

This one is more dangerous, as there may be backend resources in use that could be optimized, which could drop costs drastically. This may not change anything for your users, but is definitely worth exploring when it comes to getting the mo
