The amount of friction a designer gets for adding several multi MB images to a page, in every organization I've worked for, is very little. 2 MB minified, compressed, ball of js is nothing. I've even seen companies accidentally p

Your fear, or lack there of, may or may not reflect reality. It's not really a good basis for an argument. The right to bear arms is based on the idea that a person has the right to defend themselves, their life, loved ones and proper

This is a problem of responsibility. Regardless of conditions, ultimate responsibility for a child's education is with the parents. This notion that it is the governments job is backwards and dangerous. Teachers don't love my c

Parents can educate their own children. The costs for well outlined curriculum in the digital age are minimal.

Page 2 definitely has big wins, not only for the user but in reduced server load and thus cost. That is really the key bit of information in answering the question, to SPA or not to SPA.

You say "weakest link" like there is an optimum. People are regularly downloading 4k video. By choice, they want to be doing this. Amazon is one of the most successful websites ever created and last I checked came in at over 12M

Stop griping about SPAs. Local compute is powerful and lower latency than the data center across the country or world. Page weight isn't that big of a deal, a 2 MB ball of js is nothing compared to the multi megabyte pictures and vide

Why are you developing on cloud vms? Those should be on local dev boxes rather than in the cloud. Also, you can use vms from other vendors. You don't have to go full dedicated. You have two small prod servers. Yes, other cloud servic

Periodic fasting for 24 hours (few weeks between) can improve health and help you gain mastery over your appetite. Good luck with your journey. Years of life can be hard to change.

A follow up. I'm more interested in a devs understanding of memory complexity than time complexity. Every single production performance issue I've seen out side of academic questions had been due to memory management issues.

You seem to be missing the entire point of this kind of question. Yes, you are providing an upper bound. But as you yourself admit, your answer is useless. The point of big o is to put the lowest reasonable bound on an algorithm so they

Any abortion is not particularly safe. The mental scars alone and guilt should give more pause to be cautious with this procedure.

This gets really messy if the service is simply unavailable for whatever reason. If it's your right then should the government get involved in coercion? Mandates? If it's unaffordable, price controls? Calling a service a right

You can't have a right that is also a service. Services are based on voluntary exchange.

I like to make fat clients with service workers and depend on the server a minimal amount. Helps keep server speeds fast and utilizes all that local processor capacity so the user doesn't have to wait for network latency. For things t

Getting more personal, I was addicted to porn for over 20 years and it made my marriage almost impossible and I almost lost it. It wasn't until I quit that it blossomed in many ways. Being free of it, I'm experiencing real love w

Porn provides a counterfeit of love and human intimacy. Love is designed to give you joy and pleasure but also to elevate you and make you better through working to improve a relationship by making your partner happy. To have someone to s

I avoid it because of unsafe billing practices. As someone higher up in the comments said, "don't buy stuff you can't afford". The problem there is understanding AWS billing is an industry itself. Numerous stories of

This is a pretty poor characterization of the context of the comment. Accusations are flying around here including calling them liars and intentionally hiding information. This is a far cry from "merely asking". Particularly sin

My experience is that states generally have FOI requests that can be made where all the records of such activities are subject to inspection. Have you even tried to get the records? Or are you just complaining that they weren't provid

As a former student and now a parent. I have no idea why we need to recreate math books over and over and over again. Seems an incredible waste of resources. The fundamental material doesn't change. I have seen politically motivated

You can just use ssh also. Which I have found to be not only easier but has better performance for a simple port forward case.

Moved from AWS to vultr. Primary reason is unsafe billing practices at AWS. I'm a small shop and felt very uncomfortable about the potential of getting a surprise $xx,000 bill from AWS. The hack in December tripled my anxiety. Chan

I tried it. I found it harder to use. I even wrote tests for my use cases and what I learned was a real appreciation of what ssh does, is, and provides and I went the other way and use it in more places than I did before.

I'm all about reducing the noise in log files. I've had three production servers go down for various clients and the primary reason was full disk, primarily due to log files.

The lack of universality is a problem. People experimenting with unknown formulas get unknown results including deep seeded unhappiness. Fidelity to a single partner of the opposite sex will produce the best results. Children are more imp
