As far as I can tell if you use a service like ImprovMX (not affiliated, just a customer), this shouldn't be an issue, because the email is forwarded by their service instead of your server. This page seems to suggest that, since they&

My impression of Unreal is the tech is awesome if you want to make a game with high graphical fidelity — Nanite looks crazy good, etc. But if you aren’t trying to do that, are making a 2d game or something lofi 3D like Minecraft graphics, I

Svelte does something similar with its `$: x = ...` syntax. I wonder if it was inspired.

I agree that it's frustrating that other efforts aren't being made, and this is easier, but I disagree it's an empty effort. Holidays, statues, rituals -- they're how we define ourselves as a society. They're import

Thanks for the recs! Me and my wife went to Casa del Mariachi the other day and the breakfast burritos were bomb as promised :) Definitely going to try that Whidbey day trip sometime as well!

SPD is infamously brutal [1]. They just don't give a f** about actually helping people, just destroying homeless encampments and covering their badges at protests. Source: Lived here for 5 years and have never seen an SPD officer do an

Using SystemD to manage your services easier if that's what you want is nice (aka, if your SystemD setup depends on a service, that's fine). It's not great if the service depends on SystemD, because then it can't be used

For reference, a quick Google search says there are ~1 million bitcoin miners. However, presumably there's a pareto-type distribution where some some small% of miners are responsible for the majority of the hashrate, so I'd be cur

Ah, I didn't realize skin tone was specified to only appear after certain emojis -- that seems rather limiting to forwards compatibility to me, but I'm sure there's a good reason for it.

Why couldn’t they do HANDSHAKE + ZWJ + SKIN TONE + ZWJ + SKIN TONE? I don’t understand why a new emoji is necessary — the author alluded to “making sense without an OS update” but without an OS update the new emojis won’t render at all, whe

I'm not necessarily an NFT proponent, but to be fair, you can also duplicate art in the real world. Forgeries and replicas of the Mona Lisa and other famous art exist, and are sometimes so good they fool museum curators for years. Yet,

In addition to the other comments, gears with a prime number of teeth were undesirable because they couldn't be laid out by iterative division of a circle. A gear with 64 teeth can be easily laid out by dividing the circle into fourths

It seems to me that people saying your service is also potentially unreliable are missing the point a bit. By paying you money, there's a customer relationship, an SLA, etc. As a (hypothetical) SAAS company, I don't get an SLA fr

Only if you're CPU bound, but usually your webserver is blocking on disk IO or database calls or whatever, not calculating stuff, in which case the GIL doesn't matter.

The problem with that for me is I don't get up and go to the kitchen to talk to people -- I get up and go to the kitchen to {heat up lunch, make coffee, get a glass of water} -- and a serendipitous conversation happens as part of that.
