IIRC, they were doing things like patching bittorrent to prefer closer IP's to pull from during their deploys. So it would roll through their network from 1 side to the other without just completely saturating the entire network. But

I want both. I would be completely happy if IOS by default did not allow all the things it doesn't allow, but you could add a setting to allow 3rd party app stores with a list that apple curated themselves (similar to search engine pre

Because it's both unnecessary and distracting. When I misunderstand titles and then realize my mistake I don't start complaining about it. Can it be read either way? Yes. Does it really matter? No. Language is often ambiguous

The posters point is that Ruby has surprising concurrency semantics compared to other solutions.

yeah, Heroku infamously had a really hard time getting Ruby to scale well. Ruby traded safety (GIL) for absolutely speed, although it should be noted that Ruby's C interfaces do allow you to op out of the GIL, which means if speed is a

Same for me only it was mid to late 90's and I was interested in understanding MUD code. I have fond memories of that guide and it's always a treat when it pops back up.

lots of people were using lots of things at that time, most were using git.

Not only that, but in order to build a fault tolerant system you __WANT__ your components to fail fast and hard. Anything else runs the risk of your system doing the wrong thing while you have no idea it's happening. failing is noisy,

This is an area where the law needs to catch up. Current law limits what many people can do in terms of the stock market specifically to protect unsavvy investors. What Robinhood is doing is no different than a 3rd party acting as a go bet

Under your definition the word cripple would also be a slur. When we get to that point, we've lost the forest for the trees.

I don't know your age, but I suspect it's more likely you're finally reaching the point of realizing how shit everyone and everything is. My experience was stupidly believing the idealistic crap I was taught when young only t

I think the idea is that a slur is a much stronger insult typically aimed at one's ethnicity. What's being said here is that the word retard is an insult, but does not rise to the level/strength of a slur.

I graduated HS in the late 90's, have no children, and it was a very explicit choice. When I was in college I read a story about a boy who was raped and then the courts required him to pay child support (IIRC the woman was a caregiver

Maybe it's a cultural thing but I've never seen a company require a leetcode score and I don't think I would ever apply to such a company. It seems weird to me.
