Apparently I am also stuck in 2012 - are we not doing cloud and machine learning anymore?
Re:The most confusing emojis in every US state in 2024 on Thursday May 16, 2024 @04:17PM (#40382641)
there are definitely a few missing from the "not used as intended" list

also, are they really counting "rebirth" as an incorrect interpretation of the phoenix emoji? what is even the purpose of a phoenix emoji outside of that context.

and those head-shaking ones are just objectively terribly designed

I would've fucking rioted if they picked permanent "standard" time.

I don't care about kids or their bus stops. Also, just put some lights on them, then (the bus stops, or the kids, doesn't really matter).

Where does he claim to care about digital preservation? And I'm pretty sure GitHub would have to remove code posted without permission, anonymous or not.
Hm, I've been looking for a lightweight, language-neutral job queue. RDBMS-backed is my preference since I don't need massive scalability, but do want persistence that's easy to reason about (so not Redis), transparency (so not beanstalkd) and a long-lived history (so not most of the other ones).

But, RDMBS only makes sense if you can use your existing installation, so MySQL-only is a nonstarter.

It was faster than everything, and by a huge margin: https://github.com/costajob/app-servers#results

It does seem that immature languages tend to win a lot of benchmarks, likely because they're still cutting a lot of corners. Still, though.

I only wish they picked a more "Enterprise-friendly" name...

Is this analysis really looking at revenue, without considering the movie budget? That's just a round-about way of saying "most high-budget movies have male leads".
seconded. videos are not useful as documentation.

"We each have about 20,000 genes, all of which sit together on a molecule of DNA."

Not a great start there...
