Not me, but a colleague - he wanted to look around the system as the `uwsgi` user, so he ran `sudo -u wsgi -s /bin/bash`. Except that he typoed, and instead ran `sudo -c wsgi -s /bin/bash`. What that does is instead of l

We're getting completely off track here but I agree; to me it seems to be kind of an extension to grammar pedantism, as it only serves to indicate little beyond "I know this word's origins". What's wrong with &quo

Your experience mirrors mine to a letter - I appreciate the wide variety of use cases that are covered by Webpack (a number of which are crucial to our build process), but its performance is abysmal (20m+ on CI) and totally inscrutable; mak

Yeah, on the first load I actually ended up with a completely empty page. Only on a reload I actually saw the content, and it still shows up painfully late when scrolling around (and disappears?!). Like, it's not even that important. J

This is just pure speculation on my part, but: What about optimizations? It seems like it should be possible to construct a SQL query that doesn't hit the pain points (e.g. avoids queries that do not use indexes). Although from my expe

I think you're underestimating the amount of curious kids who are more on the electrical engineering side of things. Who, sure, probably won't get to play with a CPU fab line, but then again that's somewhat like sending kerne

I see how that might be constructed as a negative, but IMO it's too early to tell whether that's a genuine setback to the project. "Protecting his baby" might be a very wise decision at this point, if only because of how

That's the plan for PoS, no? It's not that mining gets eliminated altogether, but doesn't play as much of a central role.
