So what is the preferred way to at least estimate real traffic without js? I have a static site that gets some traffic, but I have no idea how much of it is real. I'd just like to know if I'm reaching closer to 5 or 500 people a d

Regarding attracting a newer generation: appearances are important! The first image on the page should not have people sitting on a toilet in what is obviously a bathroom. It's kind of crazy someone thought that was a good idea. Fear o

Jane Street only gets mentioned so often because it is one of the highest paying and selective companies in the world. They are not in control of the ecosystem. And they have nothing to do with banks.

I thought the same until I started sailing a UFO. You are going way faster than any cat or dinghies. Everything happens substantially faster and the water feels like pavement when you hit.

I thought this was quite well accepted. I can't speak to the FBI, but for CSIS, the Canadian Equivalent, the "polygraph tech" who pretends to just be working the machine, is actually a psychologist watching your responses.

I can absolutely see how it would enable a certain type of very creative, very hard working person to peruse something they couldn't originally due to hard circumstances. But that seems like a minority case. I'm curious what the o

Better-informed implies useful knowledge. Stop with the news for a month and you'll realize that 98% of it doesn't provide you with any information that stays with you for more than a day or so. It doesn't matter that you rea

It might cause me to upgrade current windows servers instead of migrating them to Linux. But I doubt I'd start new projects with it. If mssqlserver also became open source then that might change my mind.

I'm struggling with this at the moment. Any tips to make JOINs faster? And a question for any postgres people: say I have two distinct databases, but now need to join across them. What's best practice here?

I also think the analysis is completely off. South Park has always spent much more time making fun of the status quo than of those pushing for change. South Park is reactionary when rich white people have decided to take up a cause that the

'Fired' doesn't make much sense for stand up. Most comedians won't play (or aren't invited to) college campuses anymore. Two decades ago every comedian would tour campuses. Something has changed drastically.

Dostoevsky, Steinbeck, Shakespeare, and The Bible all have very thoughtful takes on these kind of questions. And that's just a start. I've been in your situation before, and immersing myself in great works of art was probably the
