Windows is far more painful. Firstly, it'll keep prompting even if you choose "restart later". Secondly, unlike most linux environments, it doesn't perform the updates which take effect next restart, it actually performs

What do you do that serves 1.2mm requests / second? I don't disbelieve you, I'm just wondering what type of site that is since English Wikipedia is several orders of magnitude lower than that.

There are current laws that are trying to be repealed. These laws don't make it illegal to build dedicated lines and charge fair prices for that so I don't understand your argument or why this means those current laws should be re

That's reasonably captured by the "upstream" table which isn't as weighted by large content. Besides, the direction and relative values show clear and growing dominance.

Diceware is good for encryption passkeys or for master passwords for password managers. It is awful for actual third-party passwords.

In sublime text you don't need to select anything, ctrl+up/down will move the whole current line up/down.

But cursors don't imply mice. With cursors you just hold shift and use down-arrows to (visually) select the lines you want. Add in Ctrl and you can move word-boundaries, add home-end and you can do beginning/end lines / pages

Adding step="0.01" to the input allows stepping down in 10ms increments. Personally I can distinguish every time at 0.06. I find it difficult to believe the rest of the hardware loop has 40ms latency, it would be difficult for smo

And not just the expensive windows server but for a long time people considered windows builds of postgres / mysql not production-ready (How much of that was fud and how much truth I do not know), so typically any DB solution is Sql-Se

IT's important to open source C# take-up, but I'd wager the vast majority of C# usage is closed-source shops. c# just isn't favoured by hobbyists except for game-programming. But in business world (at least from my UK persp

A test is only a test if it can fail. All the projects I've seen, even the ones where there are "minimum viable projects" have too much pressure from above (or have already been sold) so they aren't allowed to fail. So

Civil engineers don't I suppose agree to build a bridge before they've surveyed the land and then begin construction before knowing the loads. Contrast that to software engineering, where beginning before you have requirements is

Hi, I don't see a privacy policy or other page which makes it clear what information you collect and how that information is stored. How is session management handled from the point of view of administering the service, how does the se

If your solution is "better practices", you don't have a solution. In the real world, people will migrate to what works for keeping people inline. Appealing to better practice will be mowed down by actual practice. Instead

If you read the "methodology" they explain this isn't example feeds of what a left-inclined or right-inclined person would see, this is instead a sample of "most shared from sources tagged very right" and "most

If you filtered for "credibility" then any site predicting Trump would win would be filtered out. Is that a fair and democratic process or just technocrats doing their best based on their own fallible models?

Similar arguments were made for why the clergy should conduct prayers in latin and why literacy isn't important. You can't just take information away or try to "curate" the information seen, that's what censorship i

Unlike most countries, the U.S. still taxes non-resident citizens which probably does something to put people off emigrating the US.

I wish this were normalized by electoral college size, it would go part-way to normalizing by population but also be normalized with respect to impact on outcome.

That explains it, in the UK I thought it was branded as a "netflix original" which surprised me because as I said, it didn't feel like one. I could be wrong and perhaps it was just in the same list but styled as "netflix

Putting a tv critic hat on for a second: I'm surprised to see Designated Survivor listed there, watching it felt like it was yanked from network TV and stuck on netflix. It has frequent recaps, obvious gaps where commercial breaks shou

I mean scaffolding. Just because something is turing complete doesn't mean that a generator has to be able to generate anything possible. If boilerplate is an issue, scaffolding / code generators can be a quick fix.

Why would you want to containerize low traffic sites? If it's a low traffic site, why not just build a small site and use a cheap shared host?

5 years ago 16GB was fine, 16GB is still fine now. My prediction: In 5 years 16GB will be fine. Why? Because RAM requirements passed from "We need more, it'll speed things up" to "We've got enough" a while back

What's wrong with "boilerplate with code-generator"? For smaller sites, the number of parts often isn't huge, so boilerplate isn't a big deal.

That hasn't been released, but I think it's interesting that the original press releases frames this as a matter of fraud rather than a breach. I personally doubt this will be revealed to be a software security issue.

It's not surprising really, is being a centralized message bus really attractive when it just means that you'll be responsible for policing it? If you run a central message bus off which people can produce their own applications,
