I'm not sure if SMS and email are ever considered urgent enough for this purpose. The alert is sent out seconds before, it's either a loud and unusual sound or you might get to read/answer after it actually hits. i.e. it&

Absolutely shameless. I’m glad that they’re doing this in the complete open instead of painting themselves as the good guys (unlike, ahem, other western countries)

I have no proof here, but don't underestimate the power of a rock near one’s delicate areas. It's easier to get a key by just asking politely.

You can’t start up the equivalent of “half a country’s nuclear reactors” in 2 weeks. For this to happen you must already have an excess of renewables, which they obviously don’t have. What will happen is that more coal will be burned beca

> Honestly my server at home has more uptime than US-East-1 Is this not antagonistic? It's pointless to make these statements, so your parent comment pointed it out. Go downvote the first one instead.

The problem I encounter while developing occasionally is that I encounter a series of errors and in the end you stop wanting to report the 5th bug of the day and just want to fix things the best way you can. Sometimes that attempt goes sour

The worst offenders for this are package bundlers. Like when they remove/change features and don't have the decency to leave a note saying what change and how to fix it. There are dozens of issues and StackOverflow questions dedic

Are you serious right now? Do you think white women are not fetishized by black men and Asian men? I live in Asia and let me tell you something… Both your comment and the parent are racist because you’re applying common issues to “white men

I’m not sure what your point is. You seem to have the Thing the article mentions and appear to be in the group of people who don’t like the game. What I read here is just that you’re just as discriminatory as the people who you complain abo

Yes but no one wants the finger pointed at themselves. Even if innocence is proven, someone will go through your files and you will have to deal with the law. The recourse should be before this reaches the law.

I feel this in my own life, as an European grown up mostly around my mother, sister, and younger female cousins. My father lived abroad for long periods of time. Women nowadays keep assuming I'm gay due to my mannerisms.

Node is not "moving to ESM", they don't even plan to deprecate CJS. They will continue to support both for the foreseeable future. Their docs still use `require` in a lot of places even though ESM has been enabled on stable r

Touché. I'm not sure how much the difference in pricing is a direct consequence of consumer protection laws or just import fees, etc. For the record, an iPhone 13 Pro costs EUR 951 before taxes in France, which means it's 7% more

Nah, they just read the umpteenth "American company fined by EU country" and assume it's not fair for the company. What they don't realize is how good customer protections laws are in Europe compared to most of the world
