That’s why it’s an example for comparison rather than a literally the same sentence repeated ;) You can apply the death by a thousand paper cut method of debate if you like but that doesn’t change the definition I also referenced. The fact

I disagree. If I’m porting a shell script to another language then I would want to use as much native code as possible rather than shelling out. Sure, it takes a little more effort, but the output is more idiomatic code that runs faster (fo

What you’ve described there is exactly how bad things come to be. You think people elect for bad things? Bad governments, bad software or privacy violations? They chose things that are full of rhetoric and promises of good things then those

It seems a highly counterintuitive thing to say but I have anacdotelly noticed the same when running XP bare metal vs inside a VM running in Linux on the same hardware. Around that era I have hard others notice the same on their PCs as well

You’re arguing about credibility like it’s interchangeable with something being factually correct. There are different constructs.

I did get your point, however you’re still dependent on one pipe into the house which then doesn’t solve the issue I highlighted. You could buy additional leased lines with a different physical route out but those are not cheap either and y

Absolutely agree. I do actually run a server in my house for personal services however the difference between running personal infrastructure and running a service for paying customers is night and day. You may not need your own data centre

ok, let’s play out your scenario: so now you need to buy two houses in two different towns so you get two different ISPs and running your server on two different power substations (since you’re no longer building that resilience in at the

You’re free to host stuff on a desktop PC if you want. Some people do. However the devil is in the details. For example you was a redundant power supply, then you’ll need a server case with dual PSUs, two power rails backed by two UPSs. You

If the only type of comment you can muster is ad hominem attacks and posts telling me how you can’t be bothered to post then I can only assume that the real reason you’ve not offered anything more persuasive is because your don’t understand

Sometimes the best way to understand a problem is to ask lots of questions. And the best way to get a meaningful response is to frame those questions with context. I don’t read any ego in the GPs tone - just an individual who was curious ab

Naming things is hard - that goes for blog posts as well as a software projects. If all you’ve got to contribute is an ad hominem attack on an article you ostensibly agree with anyway then you really need to ask yourself who is more in th

The problem is the standard for what is a valid email address is so varied with enough edge cases that what you might consider a “convenience” is actually breaking the site for other people. There are quite a number of articles written abou

You shouldn’t use regex for email validation.

When you look at the bigger picture financials it does take money out of the economy because money invested in public services drives more jobs. Money hoarded by an individual only creates wealth for that individual. Sure they might reinves

Tax reforms to tweak economic growth isn’t really the same thing as using loopholes in tax rules to avoid paying tax. One serves to better the country by adapting to a changing economy, while the other serves a self interest and takes money

I think the issue was more that languages often used to have multiple implementations which differed and no real standard beyond the de facto (whichever was most commonly used). You saw this with the variations of BASIC on the micro compu

Clearly not. You’re not going to hold people captive on the bus just to make up a few minutes. However that doesn’t mean the bus drive has to accept new passengers when someone does get off (it’s not common that happens but I have seen that

“trash talk” is fine but I think what the former poster was referring to is the trolls. Online gaming is no different to any other online activity in that regard (or even real life playground “banter”). Ie some people are little shits and o

Arcades were a thing before home consoles. The entire premise of an arcade is to get people hooked on short tasks of intermediate reward so they keep churning their coins into the machine.
