Why are you pretending this is a harder topic than it is and you have some secret insight. And you're a dick on top of it: Yes, exponential backoffs alone are insufficient. Yes, adding jitter helps randomize the calls across a fleet an

You listed common items you think may be counterfeits, and all your effort in checking, but fail to mention av single time you _actually_ ran into a counterfeit. I'm sure if it occurred you'd happily mention it since it would do w

You've been spamming this in a few threads. A private business can 100% refuse service to you. Examples with regards to "delegation": - If you come in using a form of non-cash payment that doesn't belong to you. - If you

It's winning by default because _there is nothing materially better_. React was _materially_ better than Ember, Angular, plain JQuery, etc. at the time. Front-end engineers have no issues adopting new frameworks. See the common complai

I took a workshop class and was told to setup a track saw. The course didn't bother explaining how to utilize it properly or protect yourself. I ended up losing a finger. I truly hate Stanley Tools with a passion and if I ever need to

Your replies here have been less than useless. I clicked on your profile and saw you were "founder and CEO" of some company. I guarantee you I won't be using your product. Just something to consider.
