That seems to be the point of modern propaganda. It's no longer about trying to convince people of what to believe in. Instead, the idea is to throw out multiple competing ideas no matter how far fetched to breed cynicism and conspirac

Think there's an issue with the throttle challenge For tests 3 and 4, you expect the context and args to be determined by the last callback. But according to the first 2 tests, the last callbacks should never be invoked. Looks like som

I've also had the same experience on my second product. Someone made an off-brand copy of about 18 months of work (testing marking, making prototypes, etc) right down to cloning my client libraries and removing all attribution. It was

There's a lot of FUD going around when it comes to MongoDB write durability. Please read the manual. Mongo lets the user decide whether or not to wait for fsync when writing to an individual node. This is not the default configuratio

This article mischaracterises introversion by confusing it with shyness. Yes, there is probably a significant correlation between the two but they are separate issues. You can be an introvert without being shy. Furthermore, shyness can be o

While i applaud the motivation behind cancelling the debts of Croatia's poorest citizens, the way it was done is likely to hurt them more in the long run. Forcing banks to absorb the losses of this write-off will likely make it harder

Since a headset could occupy your entire field of vision I would imagine that any setup could be replicated in virtual reality. The display technology and software is still a long way away however.

I was in a similar situation to you when MongoDB was a lot less mature. Postgres was my "go to" store and I was a very skeptical of the Mongo hype. My view would be to use Mongo if it's just a small project. It's a good
