Sidekiq is special because it's crazy performant, and it _works_. Mike has built a system that's rock solid, and he doesn't twiddle around with it willy nilly. He keeps it super stable. The people paying for it (I'm one

Fantastic — bought a license! Love how simple it is; exactly what I was hoping. Do one for iOS, too! ;)

What sort of data (if any) do you, the developer, collect?

The article explains that the gap still exists, even after controlling for race. Yes, white women in the US will live (much) longer than black men on average. Yet their UK counterparts will live longer still.

The article explains that the result holds when controlling for race (and income, and education). Yes, there are racial disparities in life expectancy. Still, people of all races in the US are behind their European counterparts in life ex

The article breaks it down; disparity is consistent across age, race, gender, income…

Agreed the e-waste issues are real, but how did you get incandescents to last 10 years? I replaced every dang one after 12 months or less, every time.

What do you get with advanced ad blockers? I'm using 1Blocker on Safari — what am I missing out on?

This study does not seem to have been performed on humans. Perhaps your housemate was part of a different study? (Or your housemate is a mouse?)

Rippling processes payroll for many companies, so they often have substantial amounts of money (which came from those companies) sitting in the bank, about to be paid out to employees.

I think you could say yjit fills that role; in any case, having multiple active jit projects leaves open a lot of room for experimentation. In the end, you might be right and rjit will fade away — we will see!

Right now maybe you wouldn't, very much (though you should profile your code to see which performs better). But having a JIT written in Ruby potentially makes further development on it more accessible to the community. We will see!

Many to most consumer ranges will allow flow of gas without flame. Just turn the knob quickly past the “light/spark” position.

Sure, just multi-hundred amp capable infrastructure run in the middle of the street, installed to withstand weather and seismic events, with someone on call to fix it when it fails, liable for injury or other harm... PG&E might be shite

tl;dr Default password policies for these cameras suck. This isn't about a new breach or vulnerability (which I expected at first, given the headline).

Maybe ask why the fence is there before you try to rip it down.

You can pry my crontab out of my cold, dead hands. Seriously, though, cron has been so utterly reliable for me for so many decades now, it will be really hard for me to ever give it up.

I find the biggest source of lock-in is that it's really hard to move a bunch of data. The longer you stay, the harder it is to leave, because the impact (downtime, slowness, resources allocated to moving data instead of building your

Maybe? That assumes you can transition from one version of the code to another. And if GPT is going to do that for you, it seems like it's going to need a lot more context than it can currently hold on to. Like, a few orders of magnitu

That's a great question: at what level(s) does mimicking intelligence become a sufficient substitute for actual intelligence?

Maybe I'm an abnormal programmer, but writing code is not the bulk of my job. Solving problems is. Once the solution has actually been defined, the code is usually the easy part. And usually the solution requires taking into considerat

If my managers could document requirements with the same degree of detail required for GPT to produce a valid result, they wouldn't need me already. Writing code is the easy part.
