In the recent Go critiques posted in HN I got really annoyed because the articles came across as snide and such-and-such miscellaneous things (that I expressed in a somewhat poor, reactionary way last time) In my humble opinion this article

It depends on skill level. I have a lot of experience spinning up services and own a home server, so probably it would take me a few minutes. That being said I've not tried it yet but will be doing this weekend

You're abandoning the context of the thread. The original comment you replied to was about how the US Healthcare system should be fixed so that you always know doctors are optimized for your needs

Maps names of websites? I don't know what that means. Timmy showed me The Amazon and the egg cooker from there worked wonderfully so I don't want an ad blocker.

But why? Imagine your grandmother who knows nothing about computers or tech asking you about GPUs and which programming language is best because she's curious about buying Bitcoin vs investing in Ethereum. For someone who can't te

This argument is always really odd to me. You'll hear people say things like "if evolution is real then why are there still monkeys?" As if anyone is claiming we're derived from modern chimps... Meanwhile the ancient ape

thank you for sharing. I'm glad you're here today. What do you feel is the purpose of a life review like this? I don't know that I believe in an afterlife per se, but oblivion also seems unlikely. Something about being an asp

Your understanding, based on ignoring the linked document? What government programs unrelated to Snowden's disclosure collect millions of Americans telephony metadata? Check page 13. They directly reference Snowden. I'm getting a

Being an autodidact is not a requirement for being smart enough to become an engineer. Some of the most brilliant people I know happen to have a very hard time with self-teaching. Everyone has different learning styles. Also, being an autod

Maybe you're a very high profile individual that this matters beyond paranoia? I've always used my name for signups, and I have a very unique name, probably the only one on the whole planet. It has affected my life in no meaningfu

I host my code on a server because the docker-compose required to run the whole stack takes more memory than my macbook can afford (Docker is very memory hungry on Mac and at the moment I "only" have 16gb). Basically just hosting

Can you expound on the VST support? This can write code that compiles to a standalone VST? Or do you mean you provide a VST that can run this code? I make electronic music as a hobby and have wanted to make my own VST, but it has proven to
