Re:Why Discord is switching from Go to Rust (2020) on Monday February 22, 2021 @02:28PM (#26229280)
Databases and traffic is going to have your lunch anyway. Good developers cost a good deal more than extra infrastructure. Adding people to help you cut cloud cost is easier and more predictable than re-implementing.
What a brilliant idea. I wonder if the same method would be applicable for growing rice in dry areas?

I remeber reading recent news about CFC emmittance raising in China recently. Does anyone know of a more recent study than the one linked here?
Re:Million WebSockets and Go (2017) on Monday December 23, 2019 @09:00PM (#21869243)
I’d then have node handle the “simple” socket part, and the complexity which is race condition prone, handled by a language better suited for that, responding to the async node implementation? Edit: spelling
Re:Million WebSockets and Go (2017) on Monday December 23, 2019 @04:57PM (#21867811)
Productivity in this case being in the eye of the beholder? I’d argue that people experienced in how node works, wouldn’t have to think too much, since async is the default. I agree with your general sentiment though.

Does not have to be copper. I've done several of these using galvanized steel hammered into the ground. We'd hammer in rods of 2 meters length until the resistance was low enough (around 1600 ohms Iirc). This would ensure hpfi tripped below 50mA

They are shutting down inbox though. I know the mail will stay, but I will miss inbox.
Kid brains are a sponge. I don't get why the author is either or in his mindset. Sure problem solving and curiosity are more important than syntax, but there is ample room for both.
This guy mad a lot of easy to use libraries https://github.com/mafintosh in nodejs, so don't know if they are useful to you
Re:Thanks for the Surprise Integration with My Website, Apple on Friday September 21, 2018 @08:24AM (#18039159)
What would be the point of the passive agressive behaviour? If the intention is to get Apple to pony up some cash, he should reach out directly to them with valid concerns over traffic etc. If the point is self-promotion, he inadvertently got that now. I think the approach chosen is the right one
Why not use a single mega block, and hydrolics? Seems to me there would be less mechanical wear, and the system would be simpler?

How about using outline or similar to remove unwanted content? https://outline.com/nRwFNF
Re:Hello, GitHub on Monday June 04, 2018 @05:54PM (#17232951)
How so? What was going to be controlled, by whom?
It's not automatically a bad idea, just because it's not changing the entire world. E.g. me choosing not to fly is not making any significant difference, but that does not change the fact that my carbon footprint is lower as a result. If I choose to share my motivation for not flying, it may affect others flying habits. The same could be the case for California
Re:Bike Share Oversupply in China on Monday April 30, 2018 @05:02PM (#16962303)
The image where a person is walking on a stack of them getting some rope. The image where a person bikes by a tall stack of bikes. For a lot of the properly parked ones, I assume you are right.
Re:Bike Share Oversupply in China on Monday April 30, 2018 @04:40PM (#16962110)
Even if we don't drive our cars all the time, we don't throw them into a pile and break them. We take care of our cars, keeping them for years, and when they are no longer used, they are recycled.
Re:Bike Share Oversupply in China on Monday April 30, 2018 @04:38PM (#16962080)
What an absolute waste of resources. We should get these bikes to people with real need - imagine what this would mean for a family who need to walk for hours for water or education.
My guess is bad purchase tracking
Re:Blocklist Facebook domains on Tuesday March 20, 2018 @07:47PM (#16633917)
Again, a tool concern. Not trying to downplay the possible solutions, but rather bring attention to the magnetude
Re:Blocklist Facebook domains on Tuesday March 20, 2018 @07:01PM (#16633610)
The whole conversation, without having read into everything here in absolute detail, seem to be very tool oriented. Am I the only one here overwhelmed by the sheer amount of domains involved?
