Same, just checked and the "G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo Series 64GB (2 x 32GB)" RAM I bought 9 months ago for $208 is now $464. That's crazy!

Look at the node.js APIs: readFile, readFileSync, writeFile, writeFileSync ... and on and on. If that's not a meme then I don't know what is.

But obviously an investor with $XYZ under management that can make N bets is better equipped to handle that risk than you, an individual with 1 bet.

It's been months since I've booted into Windows to play a game. Feels amazing. The only exception I've run into is heavy anticheat titles, like trying to play on Faceit CS2 servers. I can live without that though. I don'

That would fall under physics, which are the objective laws of universe. And that fits neatly within this conversation as well; "bias" has no meaning (or rather, a very different meaning) in the context of math and physics. Or may

The parent was arguing in favor of bias by suggesting that in some instances, there is an underlying fundamental truth so having bias is more accurate. As my comment suggests, I believe society is relativistic and there are no objective tru

I can't speak to Linode but in my experience the Digital Ocean VM performance is quite bad compared to bare metal offerings like Hetzner, OVH, etc. It's basically comparable to AWS, only a bit cheaper.
