nah. I think Balmer did wonders for Ms. It’s really easy to blame the guy but I think it’s important to look at the context (of when he took over, what he actually did) also, he is the only CEO I routinely saw at the “corporate gym” in Redm

Love it. The explanation is amazing and strikes the right balance when it comes to introducing the things needed by the uninitiated to grok the gist of the vaccine. How far we have come, as a species, by looking at what this vaccine is, is

have you tried eventmachine? what was wrong with it?

this is so true. Ruby is so much more than Rails.

this is awesome. as a long time Ruby used I appreciate the effort that continues to be put into making Ruby better.

not my experience. you can actually devise a strategy and try to execute on it. if it works you win. if it doesn’t you’re unlucky or executed poorly. I may be biased since I mostly win and consider the game to be pretty basic as far as boar

the option was there for quite a while now. it’s not new. now the developers of apps need to tell you the shady stuff they are doing.

in this instance, what measure did Apple exactly take? give users the option of opting out?

here: https://www.insidetracker.com/ This is expensive AF, but you can get 40+ markers measured once every X months. And you can monitor exactly were you are and if the supplements you are taking are actually doing their jo

I have seen this opinion and I see it reinforced everything that multivitamins (and supplements in general) are just really expensive urine. I also saw that experts in gerontology disagree. I believe the cost of a high quality multivitamin

> 23. (~This is not medical advice~). Don’t waste money on multivitamins, they don’t work. Vitamin D supplementation does seem to work, which is important because deficiency is common. Sorry, but this is BS. The first consideration is: a

you can get the internet for the best price they have if you are willing to just cancel. call them and ask for the best price for internet only. explain you’re going to cancel. if they give you the best price great. if not cancel and switch

I don't know exactly how this works, but you can definitely end up on the list because the airlines OR the gov want you on the list. I guess that once you're there it makes little difference, but I agree with you that these things

I think that no-fly lists are pure BS, but for the sake of argument, flying is not a right as long as it's provided by a private entity. When a private entity flies you from point A to point B they have the right to refuse service (see

yeah no. inbound is free on AWS.

again. the comparison needs to be apples to apples. it's true that outbound traffic does cost (and in theory if you do a lot of traffic), but the budget instances don't have that much bandwidth to start with. Also if you have a hu

you can have auto scaling limits on ASGs on EC2. again, the technical solutions are there. it's a matter of learning how to use it properly

i think there is a huge difference between using prometheus and paying for datadog. the article argues for not building prometheus which makes sense in 99.95% of cases. btw, the build vs buy should be a topic of discussion whenever people w

that’s a non-argument. you can do the same with an EC2 instance. you know exactly what it’s gonna cost. it’s this fancy services with “elastic” pricing models that usually get you

you know, people like to talk about facts and about how this is true and that is false. usually there is some nuance to every “fact” (ie you should not take things as absolute truths). this is not one of these times. it’s as clearcut as it
