Almost every software tool decision I make is one of garbage quality with features vs ok quality with no features. I can choose a text editor that does the basics but nothing else I need or an ide that does everything poorly. From browsers

Justice is whatever the 'justice' systems says it is. Citizens have no recourse. The 'justice' system has no checks or balances that can be accessed, except by the rich. There are no penalties for abuse or misuse, even w

How can you have an intelligent discussion without a lot of racism and hate thrown in? It's impossible.

You're thinking of 4chan. Reddit has never been that--it's been moderated for many years.

Auto scaling in RDS? That'd require a multi-master cluster. As far as I know, that's impossible on RDS, Aurora or not.

Couldn't agree more. If you have a monolith, you can probably get away doing dev ops as long as you don't grow too much. We have a handful of microservices and trying to keep up with the ops work has been hell, though part of that

The main lesson here is to leave a company that doesn't pay you immediately. The rest of the lesson is only for the idiots who didn't do that like the author.

Apple reviews every single app that makes it to the store. Does the author really think this is not intentional?

How are we supposed to have a conversation when facts no longer matter? Should I start spewing out delusions also?

by joesmo 10y ago
Actually, I think this is much more the key: "I never would have begun my own conversations without first experiencing clear and passionate outrage to what I believed from those I interacted with." Outrage is the only reasonable f

"Also Freedom 0 is just silly I mean of course I can use the program as I wish." Tell that to people spending time in jail for using a program in a way that was frowned upon by government. Clearly the author hasn't spent much

So they listened to developers demands from four years ago and didn't think to upgrade the specs to what would be needed now in 2016 but left them at 2012 levels? They must have a different definition of "listened" than the r

That's what the "flag" link is for. Please use it when you see garbage like this.

"If Zuckerberg can lock up another 1.4 billion Chinese, Facebook could feed the growth beast for at least several quarters!" I hope this was an intentional double entendre by the author because its metaphorical meaning is brillian

I don't think you realize the people gave up power generations ago. It doesn't matter what the people want now or even if they want or do not want to give up power. The power was given up to the government when it was formed and f

That's exactly why I decided to choose anything BUT Python. If it really was inconsequential, the community wouldn't be split. I'm also not going to select my programming language with a coin flip. That's ridiculous. The

From an outsider's perspective, the rift between Python 2/3 that's been going on now for so many years indicates that the language has completely stalled and stopped as far as progress goes. I don't see any reason to pur

"if Google were to support (1) Android apps running on Chrome for Windows and Mac" Check out the ARC Welder extension (also works on Linux). It's obviously a developer tool, but showcases the technology: https://ch

I assume that the people who voted for Trump just don't care about and even actively hate their children, so they will be happy with this quite expected news.

Apple's track record with wireless is atrocious over the last five years. Over the last four OSs, over 3 different macs (07 mbpro, 12 air, 13 mbpro) the Bluetooth doesn't work for audio at all except sometimes when the speaker so

"That means suppliers are on an honor system" In other words, abuses will be rampant as having an honor system for corporations is like asking your cat not to eat that delicious fish or bird they just caught. Only idiots would thi

I didn't know EasyList had advanced AI to differentiate between 'one-line, textual "sponsorship" banner' ads and other ads, nor that its stated goal was to block some ads but not others. I'm quite sure if the l

That's one way to kill Chrome and I wouldn't be surprised if Google pursues it. Better browsers already exist so it's irrelevant even now.

No, they're not. The author is running an ad and is complaining about it being blocked. If he really wanted to run this ad, he should make a random CSS class name for it that changes with every page render and try to fight the ad block

Why do you think Apple's routers might be backdoor free but other companies' routers won't be? What makes Apple so special in this regard? I understand they challenged the government on the San Bernardino cell phone, but that

Lol. I was thinking similarly. If this is what you need to do to get Kubernets up in production, Kubernetes is far from production ready. Sadly, this type of UX is the norm in the ops world and everyone is expected to build out a custom in-

Hate, oppression, and slavery: the original "great" American values the rubes can't get enough of. Staying true to our roots, indeed.
