Samesies for 2038consulting.com and epochalypse.consulting - that's only a few years short of my estimated retirement,so maybe I can make a few bucks and get out early.

IMO this is the difference between "nice art" and having a connection to whatever you're displaying. We have a few things hanging that are nice, and they do, indeed, disappear. We also have a few that aren't as nice but

Mostly A. Why bother with ever getting a password and having to deal with it in any way, versus delegating that aspect of security to a FAANG-level company with a > $1m security budget? You can store your password yourself, sure, but how

Seconding this. I went through precalc in school, then promptly forgot most of it once I started working. All of the bits I had learned felt rushed, so a lot of them fell out of my brain even while in school. I only had a basic understandin

This article talks about random IDs leading to page thrashing, and MySQL b-tree indexes not handling them well. They are bad for _MySQL performance_. It doesn't talk about NoSQL or sharding, where random IDs usually perform much better

The argument against 3x seems to be a false dichotomy. I'd like to see a comparison of the author's recommendation of spaced repetition combined with "Mike's" 3x speed-listening. Increase your intake density and

That's Common Crawl, they do the spidering of some billions of webpages but that's still a tiny percentage of the web versus Google or Bing.

I would be much more likely to believe the author if they didn't embed multiple videos in their screed against multimedia. You can provide a plaintext experience if you think it's better, but clearly you don't.

I believe that library / service is called UTF-8. These days everything should be stored as bare UTF-8 data (or utf8mb4 if you're MySQL) and presented without anything else. Don't parse it, don't slice-and-dice it, don&#

You have Dropbox and it's no-config required. What's wrong with that? Is it that you have to configure it for it to do what you want, and you don't want to take the time to do so? You don't want to set up a VPS, even tho

Short answer: No, they're not. Longer answer: I'm confused by the examples given. Nothing there is a best practice IMO, they are only opinions. This writer is confusing "use git" or more basically "use version contr

Imagine git required you to manually craft TCP packets... That's what you're comparing to. You're doing it really really wrong if you spend more time learning git than writing your code. Even with its bad UX it's just

https://www.styvio.com/api/ shows a Django debug page. Launching this way is pretty ridiculous, and persisting after several hours is worse. I will probably try and take advantage of this API, but I would want a list f

I don't see how NewsBlur is getting a pass on this and Docker is taking all of the blame. Would they still get sympathy if they had "password" as their DB password and were hacked that way? I would blame MongoDB for its defau

I think you misunderstand my argument, and actually are reinforcing it with this comment. If I take effort to go and visit a park then I get some kind of value from it. I get to relax in nature, see some pretty trees, have a space to play o
