Profits (the money the company makes) are not the same as total return (the money one makes by trading that company's stock on the second hand market plus the arbitrary value distributed to stockholders, usually close to 0), are they?

Maybe it's easy to self-moderate because there are few opportunities for spamming in a site like bewelcome, because most communications are one to one (forums are, in my experience, not very active). Might be harder for a meetup clone,

Such a simple thing as a meetup clone does not cost much to host, and is therefore immediately economically sustainable. The real concern is, as usual: is it easy to move from meetup to there, will my friends do it, etc, which depends on: -

To me XML and JSON are actually technically quite similar, and both have been touted in their heyday for similar reasons over more apt format (auto-documented! simple to implement an ad-hoc serializer!). Would you mind explaining why you th

Of course, any philosophical zombie could have invented it. Which makes clear for me how loosely consciousness is bound to senses, including that of introspection. It actually makes me feel that this consciousness we can barely describe is

I'd like to voice an opinion that i couldn't find already in the comments. Security is a trade-off. At some point, security becomes so expensive and inconvenient that it's cheaper to address the root cause of insecurity than

I wish you all had experienced the golden age when running a program was as simple as apt-get install program and run it. I find it hard to discuss the merits of Linux va windows with regard to deploying software without addressing the elep

I don't understand. Is code review supposed to avoid writing coffee twice?

I wouldn't say it's a niche problem. I also miss being able to go to /var/log and see instantly what's going on. There should be a command like "journalctl --top" that would list all logging services with

Labels or other predefined constants being useless, compressing them better is not going to win the argument. Have a look at the description and performance of a non-toy time series database published 10 years ago: https://www.vl

You want to be able to change the container while making sure you do not alter the contained stream. I've always thought it would be simpler if we used different files for the stream and the meta data, but that's probably just bec

Technically, the future does not have to be so gloomy. Soon the IA may built for itself the better tools we failed to build (or adopt). One can expect centralised intelligence to surpass collective intelligence, after all.

A good thing as far as security and reliability are concerned, if you ask me. Not so much if you are aiming at real-time garanties of course.

"Can't be blamed for using IBM" companies are very likely to be using Kubernetes these days, though.

The Hashicorp suite (Nomad as the orchestrator) has the reputation to be simpler and more capable of scaling but I've never tried it yet. Better hurry since the industry has apparently decided to flock around kubernetes.
