No, you're not alone. To be explicit about why, for others, this means your shell will search for executables in a 'bin' sub directory of whatever directory you happen to be in BEFORE it searches your normal path. This allows

I'll ask about the reasoning instead of attacking the decision (since that didn't get a response). Why not embed HAProxy?

Depends on what the product itself is and from which perspective you're asking the question. At any rate, those are almost never the only two choices...

I don't see tinco saying it is simple to replace these things. Where do you see that? I suspect you're unconsciously framing tinco's position this way... Another possible way to interpret the 'ashamed' statement is

Why do you think that? The top sellers of mining hardware that I could find on Google (Butterfly Labs, Advanced Miners, Cointerra) all accept Bitcoin for payment. Are you referring to some group upstream of the hardware sellers? I'm cu

Why the "Yeah, but so what?" rhetoric? This is an important point, regardless. Sometimes new projects are started and it's not a matter of switching. Sometimes verbosity, and the things it negatively impacts, are worth switch

It doesn't have to be explicit "use X% of your time to contribute to open source" to count as getting paid to do it. When using OSS libraries on commercial products I've found the need to fix bugs or other problems and h

The servers in this example were configured to be asynchronous. The clients were not. You may still be using asynchronous clients in your code but James's argument is that Java developers don't tend to do this because it requires

In what way, specifically, do you feel this pain?

They left at 11am because they realized how bad the problem was and just gave up? Or left at 11am as a normal thing (e.g. before they noticed the problem) ?

I don't think it's the treatment one way or the other of those that write C# code. I think it's just the Microsoft Bubble at work. I think there are just fewer .NET developers here than the other ecosystems. I personally shy

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I understand SNI and SSL without SNI. What I'm not seeing is why it's a problem when a host such as DO doesn't allow multiple IP addresses on a single machine. Is it because you may want to host mu

I don't think it's at all obvious or universally true that it's better to get an 'Unable to connect' error message than a certificate warning (btw, the default site could tell the user they arrived there by accident

Why's this a problem related to SSL?

That's not true. Why do you think that?

One benefit to something like async/await is letting you get on with other stuff without having to murk up your code with callbacks/delegates which read more like GOTOs than async/await.

Isn't the problem that the end of the day never comes? A site is never 'done'. It always needs to be changed and this is why 'clean code' matters. It reduces the cost of change.

Definitely true that estimates can be improved from some hypothetical floor of quality.. Estimates still come with a cost in themselves though. They're not an end, merely a means. So we should consider alternatives. An alternative appr

Neither my intuition nor experience lead me to the same conclusion as you. My intuition says that complex algorithms get even more advantage from more expressive languages. Java and C++ are usually not counted among the more expressive lang

Why are so many people wary of third party libraries? I can understand some random, unmaintained gem on RubyGems but in this case we're talking GLib, right? I guess I mean, shouldn't the stigma be attached to unmaintained or immat

Well, then it installs an app. And yes, it's the same restrictions as apps for jailbroken devices....and they can take over your phone pretty easily (as described in the article). Sounds like you have the specifics right but may not un

While I agree with the sentiment and conclusion I don't think you can build a convincing argument by just looking at numbers of deaths. Terrorism has no value but vehicles do. Unchecked terrorism, ostensibly, begets more terrorism. Thi

As psuter pointed out there is Evil mode for Vim. There's Viper mode too, which I believe is older. This isn't a new thing. Vim as an editor isn't anything special....infact it kind of sucks. The script/plugin/exten
