Since you're here - why decide to write something from scratch for mysql instead of using/improving postgres? Seems like a very strange decision. MySQL is a poor RDBMS in comparison.

I serve 1Gb of /dev/null to every scraper that tries known CVE endpoints. Fuck 'em.

"that many times". It's nearly zero traffic.

Now I want to see this in Factorio...

I've heard a few Americans say "wanker" recently. It just doesn't sound right in their accent.

It was being reported that he is now sharing a space with Sean “Diddy” Combs.

"While this is a win on paper, it’s unlikely that the publishers will get paid by the LibGen operators, who remain anonymous."

I imagine making a phone IP68 rated with a swappable battery is not trivial.

I do find it sad that native apps were quick and snappy back in the day, but now everything is effectively a browser, and has a DOM that needs to be parsed and dealt with, thus negating the hardware Moore's Law improvements that have happened since.

There must be a better way.

I think the core of this is the age old problem that people would rather invent crappy technologies that end up being a pain instead of taking some time to learn a standard, SQL.

SQL is not going to go away. It's relatively easy to learn.

There's a great Practical Engineering video about the problems solar can cause to power grids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G4ipM2qjfw

Some beers use it as a sweetener, as yeast doesn't break it down.

Getting my lactose intolerance diagnosis changed my life. I was having all sorts of bad pains & issues. At one point I thought I had kidney problems because of the pains in the area. I stopped drinking alcohol. The GP did so many tests - I was fit and healthy. Then he suggested an elimination diet. I was sceptical, but after 2 weeks I felt like I had been reborn.

Many of the ills I had had over the years had been misdiagnosed (antibiotics for a bladder infection, for example - turns out it was just bloating and internal pressure from my bowel).

It's so nice being able to sleep properly at night, and also not have random diarrhea/bloating/pains. My mental health is also great - the link between gut health & depression etc needs much more research.

The thing most aren’t thinking about is that per-creation billing is an absolute nightmare, and I don’t blame Apple for not supporting it. Can’t even begin to imagine the support nightmare/chargebacks etc.

It’s not all about the 30% cut.

If it was easy and trouble free, they would support it.

Imagine what a great time apps would have if Apple let them charge you an amount whenever they wanted, without user authorisation?

Everybody has a testing environment. Some people are lucky enough enough to have a totally separate environment to run production in.

A good read is "Billion Dollar Whale", which details the 1MDB scandal that actually funded the Wolf of Wall Street movie.

Jho Low scammed ~$5 Billion, and used some of the funds to befriend Leonardo DiCaprio (by throwing lavish parties), as well as fund the movie.

> Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this take seems absolutely out of pocket to me

Made me laugh. We all have our tastes and loves/hates. Accept it.

Anyone else here have Octamed as a kid? (And fasttracker!)

They also have wildly different safety standards. Remains to be seen if they would be legal in the EU, for example.

> their main concern is getting a working product out the door

Yes. You'd be horrified if you saw how many game-specific hacks each GPU driver had. Patching their horrors in drivers. So sad.

Am I wrong, or all this ends up doing is round-robin DNS, which is no good for a geographic CDN?

I write retro console emulators for fun, so agree with you 100% :)

I agree.

> Writing a CPU emulator is, in my opinion, the best way to REALLY understand how a CPU works

Hard disagree.

The best way is to create a CPU from gate level, like you do on a decent CS course. (I really enjoyed making a cut down ARM from scratch)
