Yes and me and my wife laugh about it but there is an obvious distinctive preference for kids male and female which will play into sales .. no one is forcing anyone to buy anything and even back in the 80s growing up I knew kids that would

As a parent I have no idea what you are trying to say with this idea of pushing "heteronormativity" - I don't and don't know any parents that push anything sexual let alone encouraging kids to explore sexuality .. they a

Yeah they have I don't disagree .. kids growing up need trust was the point I failed to make.. they need to be able to do things without the fear of being tracked (the adult over the shoulder).. imagine for a second your parents puttin

The fact you lost your child is the basis of your argument against me, beggars belief.. a phone is not by default a device to track a kid an air tag is.. my kid is 10 and yours is 2... waaaay different situation. Edit: I lost my kid plenty

Thanks, really! I appreciate it.. makes for a far better rant when the spelling/grammar is on point.

OT, kinda. My eldest kid is in the final year of UK junior school so finally cut lose to walk to and from school as is culturally acceptable here.. I gave her a phone so she could let us (mum/dad) know she was on her way home from scho

So you have 0.1% SQL skill .. work on it.

It's just my opinion based on 20+ years of developing data management solutions across thousands of customers.. any framework employs a set of beliefs and that creates a box you are constrained to think in, hell SQL is one of them boxe

I used Postgres when I first started out in ~2002 but it was slow, really slow, I switched to MySQL and it was fast and the customers happy. The MyISAM table engine was shit hot(fast) but it took me years to get my head around constraints

Oh god ORM's, pointless waste of time and just an excuse not to learn SQL.. almost as bad as the #1 PHP fallacy; Smarty (which is still a thing).

I bumped into an old friend recently and he and his wife work at a real estate company. They were raving about this new system they are a couple of years into the development of and how it's built on this great "Kubernetes"

I'm a guy in his 40's and you didn't actually supply me with any advice apart from "do as I say"... I see a lot of that these days. I've no idea who this Elliot is and don't really care - if you want to p

Hey Dang, I've always had showdead on.. but no-dr-onboard is correct in that some comments have vanished way beyond the delete time limit.

Yeap.. I guess they breached some community guidelines or maybe was just a whim of some self serving mod. edit: I've emailed HN for comment.

Makes you wonder what all the current anti-straight-white-male ideology will amount to in the long run. Hate should be called out for what it is no matter the group it's aimed at - to set a clear example of civil expectations but I do

If, I assume the data is being sent back to their servers over HTTPS .. wouldn't that make this process of encrypting the "data" superfluous and have no impact on the overall security - or did I miss something? I'm not d

I have a few ex-battery hens and what I now view as a good egg is one you can crack into a pan of boiling water and it holds together, giving you a perfect poached egg in a couple of minutes. Store bought eggs tend to fall apart in water.
