I imagine your politics swing left and progressive, right? Which is why this article is kind of absurd, in my opinion, as it tags the right / Republicans as those who are abandoning the Constitution. Every poll or social study I'v

They allocated $150M according to the article. I can't see that being enough to even break ground on a single mile of track. If California boondoggle is any indication, it will be enough to staff an army of middle managers, bureaucrats

What refunds will he need to provide? I paid for the app years ago - it was $5 or so and I don't expect to get anything back. That's just how the game works. I know he also had some sort of monthly subscription - it seemed quite a

I watched the beginning of the video but it's over an hour and relatively slow going. I don't know Elixer or frameworks around it. But I'm guessing you basically just used something like Zookeeper to do distributed locks at t

I imagine the real reason here is that EU companies want to avoid the 30% fee Apple collects on all online purchases with IOS apps. It's doubtful any savings will be passed on to consumers, anyway. It's likely Apple will do what G

Amazing just how far Amazon has fallen due to counterfeit products and scammy sellers. It is unfortunate but understandable if you get scammed buying a pair of "certified" Apple earbuds or lightening cables from a Chinese seller a

This is essentially the Java Servlet specification with JSPs (or if you don't like those, just bolt on Thymeleaf or one of the older templating languages). Nearly all of these newer frameworks like Spring, Helidon, Quarkus, etc. just r

I can already imagine how these totally neutral "providers" like Google and Twitter would implement this, much like Microsoft abuses their OS monopoly to ensure 90% of non-tech-savvy users will eventually be using Edge. Sign up fo

Anybody using a current version or older under an Apache license can continue to do so, as far as I can tell. Nobody using a free version of any software should expect some benelovent 3rd party to continue fixing bugs and making improvement

Yeah, I saw a lot of bad takes on Twitter related to the "debunking of the serotonin myth" with the insinuation that they'd finally proven that serotonin itself has absolutely no involvement in depression or anxiety, and it

I don't see how this could be truly secure if it's JS running on the client. There is nothing stopping a user from running a custom version of Chromium or otherwise that ignores CSPs... Maybe I'm not fully understanding what

I get tired of those claiming property taxes are unjust with the claim that one never truly "owns" their own home, but instead just rents it perpetually from the state. Property taxes are a significant share of local and state tax

Thank you. Same situation occuring with the exagerated outrage over the 2020 election shenanigans and resulting riot at the capitol. Not a great look for the US by any means, but the whole chapter is a joke compared to past election turmoil
