Making WordPress fast requires some pretty serious caching effort, in my experience. Your internet connection might not be quite up to snuff for server hosting either, although you can test that with ping and checking the time to first byte

Politics is generally off-topic here other than in a few specific posts that are explicitly allowed because they're so newsworthy, like the death of RBG and the media calling the election.

It's also worth mentioning that Lambda School has sold (or "financed") many of these ISAs to investors, so Lambda gets paid in advance of the student getting paid (even if it's technically a line of credit). It's a

Understood. However, I think that the fact that it's a YC company makes it relevant for this site, which is why it's "still allowed to pollute Hacker News".

I know some healthy young people who have a much harder time exercising months after getting the virus, but I concede that those cases are fairly rare—although much more common than any issues from vaccines in trial. Thinking about it from

Yes. I don't know how old the GP's daughter is, but restricting communication apps—especially during a pandemic—seems counterproductive. TikTok, sure, whatever; it's a time suck and doesn't really help with social skills

Tons of major websites rely on Let's Encrypt, so I think it's fair to say that they're probably not going anywhere soon. Free certificates are now standard on services like Cloudflare and Google App Engine. I think that AWS c

We all live in a bubble. Your experience isn't invalid, but lots of other people have very different experiences, so it's difficult to draw conclusions from what you hear about in your daily life.

Depends on what you're doing. For example, compiling is multi-core, but linking is normally single-core. Many workloads are still heavily single-core-dependent, so great single-core performance is still a big asset.

I expect that the pandemic will follow Bill Gates's prediction—the developed world will be back to "normal" sometime near the end of 2021. For at least a decade, I expect it to be socially acceptable to wear a mask. However,

Covid can do a lot more than just kill you or leave you alone—it can cause all sorts of long-term side effects as well. The longer-term issues caused by covid are a higher priority than the potential issues posed by the vaccine. These issue
