You can socialize at work without having it tied to your social life.

I miss everyday banter and eating lunch with my co-workers.

Jail != prison

How do you share your blacklist across servers

How does a skeleton outline make it to the front page?

I am 34 and have worked at various fortune 500s in the Midwest and there seems to be no issues here at all with regards to ageism.

My dad is a 64 year old programmer who has never put any effort outside of paid working hours to keep his skills up and he has never been without work for more than a couple months in 30 years.

I get slammed with LinkedIn recruiters every day. Most of the jobs aren't glamorous, but they are almost all 6 figure jobs and you can get a nice house in the city for 300k on up. Take your extra cash and go on a vacation or 2 in the dead of winter (maybe to sf even)

If you make a little money and want to own property you could move to the Midwest.

I have found out the hard way that foreign keys are indexed by default in some implementations including MySQL innodb. Not in oracle.

My experience has been the opposite of yours -- I've heard of disabling foreign keys in production only for performance reasons, but not the other way around.

I like them turned on all the time as well. Valuable safety rail

Aren't environment specific builds generally discouraged? I'd rather have the same binary through each layer. Control behavior via environment variables or prop files

If all they release is jigsaw it will be worth it

I mean, it was probably the worst option on the list other than what the actual site in question does

Are you moving that dev image through the lower environments, or the prod one?

If it's the prod one, I think your pattern is fine. If it's the dev one I would feel like you're opening yourself up to potential issues by confirming things on a different binary than you are publishing to the real world

What do you actually do with that dev image?

I bought one a few years back. It just gets pinned under the two pieces of furniture that have a clearance that closely match its height. I've googled and googled but there seems to be no way to solve it other than super glueing some sort of makeshift horn on it and praying it doesn't crack off. It sits in the corner now because I'm not sure what to do about it. It was a whimsical good time for a while but ultimately a waste of $300.

I bought it at Costco so I'm considering just bringing it back, but I feel kind of guilty after waiting so long.

I made the mistake of buying one for my parents soon after I got mine for Christmas. Theirs eats the low hanging drapes, so it sits in the corner as well. I always wince at it when I go over there for dinner.

Don't do it.

I was hoping for more RAM capacity. I don't really run into issues but I feel like I've been running 16 for 8 years or something like that.

I gutted mine out and put in spray foam before I moved in. Heat bill never tops 150. I realize that most people won't do this though.

You can get insulation put in without doing so. I think it's called retro foam. Also I'm guessing your attic insulation wasn't top notch?

I live in one of these about 2 miles out of downtown Minneapolis. It was built in 1903. A "four square" house. It's about 1900 square feet finished space.

The house has a foundation that's 3 foot of mixed limestone chunks. The walls are made of 2x4s but the lumber is old growth trees --driving a nail into it is significantly harder than something you'd get at Home Depot.

The interior woodwork is the real gem. It makes the house special. 12 inch baseboards with a chair rail. Ornate headers on the doors and room transitions. I had to replace a few sections when moving some walls around and it cost a small fortune to get replacement pieces. I can't imagine doing it to a new build. I also can't imagine being excited about moving into a new place with trim that is made out of some composite material.

It's a simple, efficient design that I've appreciated more lately with these "McMansion" posts.

Very cool. Where do you get your stats from?

I've been banging my head in this boilerplate for the last few weeks and it's been very interesting.

How does this compare to that?

So is this like oauth2 refresh token?

Is there a way to get around this through a proxy endpoint on your server?

I had 100 Mbps. it was 50/month. They sent out a promo for 1000 Mbps for 65/month. I got it, wired ethernet, can actually get around 950 Mbps on the test sites.

Saw basically no difference in day to day usage. Even saw 0 difference in download speeds off of VPS servers etc.

Was hoping my employer's VPN would be like I'm on site (or as close as one could get). Bottle neck there as well.
