These are not illegitimate. They are registered 3rd parties facilitating the government. At least the ones that are on the list are not. I got one from passportsfast or something. Highly recommended (if it's registered) > https:&#x

I ditched the screen and got a band with health metrics on it. Its tiny and comfy, no screens, only a wakeup buzz in the morning when I'm most able to wake apparently. Battery lasts maybe a week? Been great. Best of all no advertisemen

Works with sweet potatoes. Make sure to order some super fancy, delicious ones online and use those. Also consider using your HVAC systems condensation line to provide them water. Add some sunflowers and you're on the way to a self sus

Spotify has gone downhill in that regard for sure. It floods my pages with "created for you" which is just the same 4-5 artists played in the last few weeks ago kludged together into a playlist. Alongside some of the worst music y

I write clean code with lots of encapsulation. Not C++ just an ecomm webapp but our business hinges heavily on time to load and we do great there. Clean code or messy code the thing that all fast code has in common - including your example

used to work for a company and this is exactly what happened, each team lead pushed for their own little secret garden and fight over who had to add new things. Managing the kafka instance(s) to keep order turned into 2 people's full t

Systems engineers generally don't run performance tests at 2x or any specific scale. You load test and see how much it takes until the system falls over - basically you DDoS yourself and see what the numbers were when things broke, and

This is true for the next 6 months if that. The future is models baked into directly into hardware, onto bare metal, serving 10k+ tokens/sec. We can have our little models, they'll be serving a different customer.

I do. Bike sheds do need to be painted after all, but its many less people who have the technical experience to know how many feet away from the property line it must be.

It's a silly argument and the lowest form of bike-shedding on the level of tabs vs commas. People with no other substantive contributions use formatting as a beard. The first one to choose it (whatever it happens to be) wins and that&#
