How is anything you said related to the points defended -- and others debunked by -- by the article? It was mostly talking about the amount per day needed to have proper nutrition. Why do you shift the goalposts to abstract terms like &quot

I believe it's a good time for the publishing of a high-quality article detailing on how to build such mirroring servers with minimal budget. Usually such machines don't need best CPUs around but they definitely do need ECC memory

Since this is technically very illegal I'd be inclined to view your message as a bait to capture and jail one of the very first people who managed to mirror the whole thing. No offense, just seems fishy.

On point, thank you. And pretty good evidence of neural network [re-]training, too. You know, I couldn't give two shits about xenophobic and racist people like them, really. Let them do that and be happy. As we say in my country howeve

Agreed with every word. Thank you for the very good comment, much appreciated. Related: have you seen Japanese wood joinery? Gods, that thing is next level!

Off-tangent incoming: In my observations (and some bias; I am openly admitting it) which were sometimes reinforced by meeting real Japanese people, most Japanese are xenophobes, racists and very easily collectively agree not to speak about

One can easily get fed up and thus resort to a throwaway account. Hypocrisy is one way of looking at it. I'll not argue as to how you should be looking at it through my point of view. If anything, I have numerous anecdotal evidence for

How is your reply diminishing Apple's stance on privacy? Yes, people do compare and choose based on their priorities (and wallets). That's how competition works, isn't it? So again, I fail to see how your comment changes anyt

Yes. Insulting people on the basis of using Apple products should disqualify them from any discussion beyond drunk jokes on a table in the suburbs. (Disclaimer #38274932: I am not defending Apple per se. I find them pretty shady in a number

Yes. I am using a throwaway exactly because of this close scrutiny like yours. Examples: I've known racists who are amazing engineers. The fact that they were awful racists didn't demean their engineering ability. That's why

Can confirm. Currently working on several Elixir API apps, they are absolute joy to work on and you get tons of freedom on how exactly to structure them. The "cruft" from the Phoenix framework is absolutely minimal -- mandatory 4-

Exactly what I was also aiming at; such mass exodus events signal either (a) that Rubin hired a bunch of greedy freeloaders that leave after the first signs of struggle, or (b) he is a dictator who's not pleasant to work with. Both of

I don't disagree. What I am saying is that writing such articles is embarrassing and reads like a paid hype. Plus the guy really doesn't have much under his belt. I and many other practical people dislike person cults. Especially

by throwaway47861 9y ago
I think the hyped euphemisms are carefully crafted to make the people feel important if they buy something. It's a very regular psychological technique in marketing.

I am surprised nobody mentioned this guy's failure to deliver the Essential Phone in time (whether it's essential is a huge argument point by itself). Cynically speaking, to me that's a paid article to keep hype around the pe

I've noticed that C and C++ have pretty fanatical and very narrow-minded fanbase. And I am talking about people of ages 50+ as well -- I was acquainted with several of them (in the real physical world) as well. So IMO it's absolut

Because they have no lives and posting emotional responses on the internet makes them feel important. Pretty simple. And of course they'll rather challenge you to a duel with kitchen knives before admitting the real reason. So yeah, em

The article tries a little too hard to defend Rails. It has very legitimate scaling issues and they are well-documented. The author is also way too pessimistic about newer stacks and is demonstrating a grumpy-old-fart-like attitude saying t

Do what I do. Don't ask them for the extra time. Make it a challenge for yourself to create the better solution in the allotted time budget. Or make it a side project (10-20% time). I may be becoming too cynical or slightly old but I d
