I think you're unnecessarily combative in the face of advice and sitting comfortably atop your pillar of experience, ready to shoot down anyone that dare take time to offer you advice. You've appealed to your authority on this mat

Got it. So you have users that expect to have real-time conversations in the comments on a blog, meaning you can't optimize a blog application like a blog is designed to be used, meaning you have to pay for SSDs in order to make your b

That's why Varnish is more effective, because you can configure it to cache the results of things that WP Supercache misses by design including the Recent Comments Widget and its data. If you need SSDs to run Wordpress, there's

You need a cache in front of Wordpress so that it doesn't hit the database on every read, then you can run Wordpress anywhere. I survived close to 3,000 req/sec against a Wordpress entry using a single Linode 360, back when those

Look around at the replies to me and the downvote beating I'm taking for sharing my opinion. Turn on showdead for an even more depressing trip through my replies. Then ask yourself if this can ever come to an understanding without me seei

I was referring mainly to Hacker News and similar communities. Everybody condemning her has been downvoted to oblivion on these threads.

Yeah, that was called for. Thanks for the rational, objective discourse, there, by telling me I should kill myself with anthrax because I disagree with your opinion. Just reminds me why I love the Internet.

And if she had hurt or, worse, killed herself or other people? Reckless is not a quality of a scientist. Why didn't we, the public, extend an invitation to "become a scientist" and pour support and legal defense funds to the Novato teenager

So I should be able to manufacture pipe bombs because I'm curious how big the explosion is, then? Maybe I can try one out on my school's football field? No malicious intent, just curiosity to 'see what happens', so by your logic I should be

I completely agree. She went back on her story that she was doing a science experiment while being interviewed, but everybody wants to stick to that story anyway. It's almost like everybody in the world wants her to be a scientist, and

It is a strange world we live in when making Drano bombs at a high school is compared to the work of Alfred Nobel.

I do understand the basics of probability. The likelihood of your serving infrastructure or application being compromised is an order of magnitude higher than the most popular repositories in software development. I'm not saying it doesn't

None of the things you listed are problems. The other comment demonstrates solutions to all of them, and I do not understand your fourth bullet point in context at all. > C, C++, Java, C# etc. programmers have been pulling dependencies

> There's no such thing as, say, Maven binary dependencies for Java. I'm saying there should be, but not necessarily the same thing. That's my entire point. I'm also not a fan of the "you have a dissimilar opinion to mine, so obviously

No, you just mirror CPAN. This is already done in lots of shops I know of for PyPI. IME, I've only ever had PyPI down on me once , and there are mirrors (that are usually up) if that is ever the case[0]. I think localizing dependencies as

You are correct. Go's remote imports are dangerous for long-term project maintenance, but the feature is still useful for quick, throwaway projects. Go badly needs two things: 1. A best practice that dictates that you never import from remo

Their movies are great as a computer person and moviegoer, since each usually contains at least one "wow, that must be really hard with computers" moment. Like the fur simulation in Monsters, Inc. or the crowd physics(ish) simulation in

Young people are not the mainstream media's target audience, but they are Hadfield's. The obvious undercurrent to his efforts is to get more kids interested in science, engineering, and potentially space travel; mainstream media doesn't get

It is my opinion that Chris Hadfield has done vast amounts more toward popularizing space travel than NASA has in its entire run, the televised moon landings notwithstanding. The general public even got bored of going to the moon after the

Oh, he's savvy on tech. Just not the way you want him to be. Leland Yee is a heavy, outspoken critic of the ESRB and was one of the most vocal politicians during the "Hot Coffee" debacle. Not a fan of video games.

It's on the FAQ and, without saying the exact price, is discussed on the application. It's an education program, so I don't think a "Pricing" tab would fit as well (it'd feel a bit cheap, like Phoenix College). I personally think it's fine.
