I would have liked to have seen more on HTTP/2
Shouldn't that be "Attorneys General"?
Robert Schoch has some things to say about this too, and seems to back it up.

A bit of a stretch in this article but interesting.

"inserted after a quoted word or passage indicates that the quoted matter has been transcribed or translated exactly as found in the source text [sic]"

This reads more like a propaganda piece than a real study.
Re:Voter suppression keeps Georgia a red state on Monday August 13, 2018 @03:38PM (#17752939)
Georgian here. A native one too.

Ms. Anderson has been rattling this cage for a long time. She does these rounds semi-regularly with the most recent being a largely ignored treatise on how White Rage (the actual title) won Trump's election. While there may be some truth in that most of it's claims have been largely dismissed or ignored: even the most ardent Democrats are smelling trouble with those pushing identity politics. White Rage was well received but only within it's own echo chambers.

If the governorship of Georgia turns blue this year it will be in spite of this, because candidates like Stacey Abrams appeal positively to blue-collar workers, low income voters, women, and blacks. She's done a pretty good job of avoiding that rhetoric so far.

This looks like the seemingly popular ketogenic or paleo type diet. However, because it has "4 hour" in it some might think it's IF too.

I think it takes a bit more time to cultivate lessons learned from the past decade. There were things that made sense to do ten years ago, but twenty years, thirty years, forty years (or more) on it becomes more obvious of the validity of the choices made.

EDIT: for life-changing choices

I'd also add that as software is going CI/CD, so is infrastructure. Good points in this post OP.
I'll go ahead and say what everyone else is thinking: Donald Trump saved Twitter.
I have never had the self-{confidence,absorption,righteousness,worth} to think that I could "influence" people in such a way.
Django is a great tool for stuff like this. Well done.
Actually more interested in how you're handling this than the PC fight that's breaking out around the thread.
Those use cases weren't super-specific. IoT sensor data gathering can be accomplished in many, many ways using a Kafka platform. I've done enough operations work to see that this would mean nothing to me (as it stands). I well laid out use case explaining what it means to developers and ops would help your case. Good luck!

Probably because Peterson has been associated (wrongly, IMHO) with the alt-right.

The fact that you are looking for it means something.

> to suggest that they cannot effect change or note its imperfections without being perfect themselves is silly.

It's not the idea of perfection, but the idea of being able to successfully make changes at a small level and slowly and increasingly make more profound changes in your life. There's a great deal of arrogance/idealism to believe you can jump on the bridge and command a ship.

> alt: "You didn't feel touched by Jesus/the holy spirit because you didn't reach out with full sincerity."

Now you're just attacking the strawman.

Re:Book Review: Twelve Rules for Life on Tuesday March 27, 2018 @11:07AM (#16689187)
"Clean your room" is an internalization: how can you judge or even change the world if your room (your life) is a mess? The point is to fix yourself first, then start taking on the world. And do it all in small steps.

> the meaning part has yet to hit me

You don't feel any sort of pride after getting yourself in order? Are you sure you have yourself in order?

Unfortunately Pieter died a while back (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pieter_Hintjens), so he's already dug as far down as he's going to go. The disconnectedness has been his writing style for a while, and while it can be a little annoying, he's been good about tying it all back together though I'd too like more clarity on the language differences.

Which part of the gender theories didn't you agree with?

Agreed, nor has he retracted or corrected any previous stance he has ever taken on climate change simply because he's going.
There is a third option: maybe he's going there to lay his case. And even a fourth option: maybe he wants to go to learn what the administration has to say in order to prepare to challenge it.
Wow how overbearingly stupid.

The author's claim is certainly not the case, as the very first episode of Bill Nye Saves the World shows. By accompanying "the other side" to the dance does not mean they will. MAYBE Nye is just going to hear and is perhaps intellectually curious about the claims to those of which he has challenged before. It does not mean he tacitly agrees. It does mean that the author has inferred that through some partisan "not like me" lens. This is terrible.

"Bill Nye does not speak for us or for the members of the scientific community who have to protect not only the integrity of their research, but also their basic right to do science."

This is a great example of how ideology eats itself.

It's amazing how the little things can make such a big impact: moving a call to action to the top of the screen, a report with more readable charts, a support email address that's easier to remember. Really it's Xs and Os.
Re:James Damore sues Google for discrimination on Tuesday January 09, 2018 @08:52AM (#16106108)
From the start this article was fraught with inaccuracy and obvious virtue signaling. Not to mention The Verge has attempted to connect Damore to the alt-right on 4chan. This publication cannot be trusted.
Re:Silicon Valley has turned into the place it hates the most on Thursday November 16, 2017 @11:28AM (#15713948)
Maybe it hits a little close to home. From my experience, there's a bit of a disdain for SV in the other US tech hubs (Austin, Atlanta, Raleigh, Boulder, et Al) and maybe rightfully so.
Re:Google and Facebook Have Failed Us on Tuesday October 03, 2017 @07:53AM (#15391742)
The real crime is that there is an assumption of companies with their own self-interests at the forefront are somehow benevolent arbiters of information on the Internet. This shows more the naive crassness of the media.
