You mean trailers.

What? The state flag or the city flag? I just double checked and I don't see what you're talking about.

How does this work, in your mind? Every stupid, indefensible policy I've ever heard of has been justified with this lame excuse. If somebody "abuses" something, take disciplinary action, how is that so damn hard?

And Github looks like they're just using Bootstrap.

Fine, you're okay with old bugs. You're pretending that that's the main issue though. What's your excuse for punting on security updates?

That approach might have worked 20 years ago when a big project had more than 3 3rd-party libraries and CPAN was the pinnacle of dependency management, but it's burying your head in the sand in this day and age. Security patches are a fact of life, and unless you've air-gapped everything, aren't optional. Sooner or later you're bound to run into bug fixes or api improvements that will force your hand as well. Not being proactive about keeping your dependencies up to date is like only eating dessert and never eating vegetables.

No meaningful difference. For one thing, shooting at someone's legs to arrest them makes no sense, and leads me to believe that something has been lost in translation.

But more importantly, the Dutch police will shoot to kill in self-defense, which is exactly the same as the US.

Shouldn't it be possible to do this as part of the build process, or even by the play store?

Perhaps it's my poor Dutch, but your link does not say that.

It's not a thing.

Please provide one piece of evidence that police anywhere are trained to "shoot to disable".

First of all, whoosh, and second, no other language has the same platform/delivery mechanism as web client javascript. Any "transpiled" language is going to have to include it's own dependencies somehow.

That's nearly never the case, unless you are running uncompiled scripts downloaded from the internet with no version manifest, in which case that's also horrible.

"shoot to disable" is not a thing.

With respect, I'm not sure you really grok the value prop of docker as it relates to operations and delivery. (The "easy scaling" part is incidental to that, and not the primary purpose of Docker). Nix, while cool, does not address those issues.

It's fast 'cus it uses libuv, duh!

This is absolutely true, which is what makes tree-shaking so exciting.

How do you read an article like the one this thread belongs to and come away with "Seems reasonable, I need more of that"?

Trivial dependencies are a code smell, a liability, and an operational headache.

Or, if you live in a city with ubiquitous wifi, buy an iPod touch and use Google Voice/Hangouts. $200 up front, free/mo thereafter.

Using a node script doesn't munge the rest of my shell environment. Cygwin, on the other hand...

"Hipstors" didn't hijack shit and "API" is correct usage here. The fault is with the (hypothetical?) morons who think "API" only refers to web services.

My favorite pi formula: https://xkcd.com/179/

Can you quantify "crushing"?

source?

If productivity == line count, then absolutely.

If productivity == not writing the same boilerplate over and over, not so much.

Still calling bullshit. You have to purposefully intend to get performance that bad in order to make ActiveRecord do the wrong thing that blatantly. The actual query execution is extremely lazy, that is, it doesn't execute the query until all the final chained method has been added to the planner.

> Isn't the same thing true for the grocery stores?

Not nearly. Groceries stores have higher margins and vastly less competition.

I'm most familiar with North Brooklyn (Williamsburg/Bed-Stuy) where most bars and unfancy restaurants have dishes that will make a full meal for $10-16. My experience is that LES and East Village are a touch pricier, but not much.

My question to you is how much do you think a restaurant would have charged for your tortellini/processed chicken/watermelon meal? I mean no slight to your culinary abilities, but I suspect it wouldn't have passed muster at most restaurants.

The web application server as such is a foreign concept to the PHP world. It's actually PHP-FPM that acts as the web application server in PHP's case. Incidentally, PHP only has the "shared-nothing" architecture partisans are so proud of talking up when you don't run it in PHP-FPM mode.

PyTeaser, is that you?

But then you risk having untold other packages move under your feet. This is what concepts like "unattended-upgrades" address.
