It's time for sending HTML rendered on server with CSS, and JS for enhancement only to kill the SPA. I'm not talking about this from a technical standpoint, though there are many reasons that in most cases this is the best technol

Were they? I had an Amiga 1200, a friend a 500, both of which were around long before games consoles became mainstream.

If I earned ~50 million dollars per year then I think I'd just pay for Internet. Maybe .1% was a bad choice, should we only post articles that are relevant to people on a global average yearly wage of ~$12,000? How are we defining rele

There's a podcast I really enjoy that has an episode on the rise and fall of the aztecs, highly recommended: https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com/2019/12/16/episode-9-...

I use Go a lot and I completely disagree. I have also used Ruby a lot and even though I prefer writing Go most of the time (it depends on the task) bundler is far better. go mod is the second best I've used for sure, but if someone rel

I'll pick up a pack if I see it. The top quality the supermarket we go to has is Rummo, it's the next step up from De Cecco (in the supermarket at least) and I buy it sometimes, but to me there's not a hell of a lot of differ

Standards are the minimum, not the maximum. Planes sometimes overshoot the runway, building an unecessary wall at the end of it might comply with a standard, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

I use kitchen tongs to pick up and jostle the noods as another commentator mentions. It starts out parallel as you say. Flour would add a flavour I didn't want and I don't have an issue with uneven cooking or clumping so I don&#x2

I live in the NW England, De Cecco is "middle" quality where I live and affordable, the brands you mention aren't available.

I make fresh tomato pasta sauces this way as well as the cheese based ones sometimes. A bit of butter and olive oil in the sauce, minimal water in with the pasta (I really like orecchiette) and finish the pasta off in the sauce with a bit o

I don't get clumping. I use an adequate quality pasta (De Cecco mostly), stir it when I put it in the water, and a few times after that, cooking to al dente. If I'm making a Caccio e Pepe or Carbonara I cook the spaghetti or (my p

By the time you reduce the liquid the pasta is going to be pretty cold. Just using less water takes less time.

Title edited to fit, I tried to maintain the meaning of the original: "A few weird issues in the networking on our custom AWS EKS Workers, and how we worked around them"

Also British ones, though to be fair to them a fair number do actually have it turned on in the areas I'm in.

Yeah, I have experienced this as a sailor.

AIS is required for large ships in many if not most jurisdictions, to have it turned off is suspicious in itself. If you turn it off then re-appear later on somewhere else having had to traverse the area where the cables where at the time t

I (a brit) have drunk Malört on a few occasions. It's foul, I only drank it because it was part of fun nights out with a group of work friends. My ex boss' review "the worst thing I've ever had in my mouth".

That's ~12 people per microservice. I understand that it might be hard to boot and coordinate all that on each developers machine, and that local docker images/vms/whatever might not suit you, but is it possible that this is

Somewhat related. Some US people came to visit our UK office back in about 2001, amongst them "Randy Bush". That entertained us. Also, there used to be a guy at Novell called "Randy Bender".
