Y'all talking about the US drug war didn't read the article or if you did did not understand it. The era the article talks about (mostly) predates the existence of the US and all of it is before the war on drugs.

I don't think I'd put it that way. They make you more receptive to/show you different perspectives that you would not experience sober. You're supposed to return to sobriety with the same stable mindset plus a new pers

It's not clear why I shouldn't do that. If a significant chunk of people that do Crossfit or are Vegan are insufferable I'd avoid them lest I too became insufferable. The only reason not to would be something like sampling b

Even if you run a hobby site it's way easier to do so with attestation. Especially if that attestation will allow you to uniquely identify the device making a request. It will end DDOS and make bans much stickier than they are today

I'm wondering if any of you have cooked before. You don't allow the meat to reach 212F in any method of cooking. If you do then you get something resembling leather because you way overcooked the meat. The only parts of the meat

I think only (3) lands as a good point. And it is a big weakness of Typescript. Practically, any TS application is going to get data from an API or DB. You really would like to validate the shape of this data and TS offers little here.

Checked exceptions are part and parcel of a type system, though. If you have a foo function that returns a value or error you've got different options. Pseudo code they are: foo():boolean throws Some, List, Of, Errors foo():boolean |

You don't have to write an API layer and get type checking among some other benefits. Is it a ton of savings? No, but I'd describe it as a significant amount of effort and lower complexity.

You do spawn a new monolith. You make one group the CPU intensive one and route that traffic there. Same concept as a microservice except that it comes with a bunch of dead code. But the dead code is not that resource expensive these day

You can scale monoliths independently too. Depending on the language that means paying some additional memory overhead for unused code but practically it's small compared to the typical amount of ram on a server these days.

Penn's not really the level of school that will be that much better over a flagship state school. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Princeton, and maybe a few more are that level.

It's a cool idea but everything is just a little funky. At least that's how I remember it when I tried it a while back. That plus all the problems of coding in your DB were the reasons I didn't use it again. Shame too becau
