I would like to know more reasoning behind choosing a frame without diagonals. I have had to repair many old garages and shacks which had wooden frame but lacked diagonals. Often we had to push them upright and brace the frame with diagonals to avoid problems in the future.

A cube-like building frame without diagonals or shear walls is unstable and does not sound so strong or resilient at all.

in a typical wood-frame wall, it's (usually) plywood nailed to the studs that acts to resist shear forces. you shouldn't need diagonal cross-members, unless there's not enough structural plywood cladding or not enough studding.

Aren't older TTL more resistant to radiation because of physically large chip structures? It could be that those chips were already space-tested or radiation-hardened.

yeah, I believe it should be something like that. Anyways I think the author created some anticipation of giving an explanation about the reason of all those chips and the conclusion was just something like "there are many ICs because it uses TTL and each TTL IC doesn't do much so you need many of them". Ok... but why does it use TTL? that's the interesting question, isn't it?

Recent versions of Edge are based on Blink (a fork of webkit) and V8. It should have debugger built-in. Have you tried a recent version of Edge?

No, I haven't. Thanks for the tip! I'm hoping for something that would mimic Safari, as Apple has made things really difficult for non-mac devs.

Our QT project had about 400 compilation units (header+source, compiled to a separate object file). Many of them were 100-200 lines of code only. Full build used to take 40 minutes. Each compilation unit pulls in about 40k lines of code from Qt through headers. So the compiler has to process at least 400*40k = 16M lines of code. Concatenative build only processes app code (about 50k) plus about 60k of cumulated framework code. This gives about 100 times speedup. Our concatenative build took indeed less than 1 minute.

Just let it get the cert (DNS or HTTP challenge) and then restart/reload the web server. Do not let LE rewrite your server configuration. This was very error-prone before and likely still is. People structure their Apache, Nginx, HAProxy, etc. configuration files in very different ways and it's nearly impossible for the certbot to work correctly in all cases. I'm not sure if this was also the case for the article author, the article contains too little technical information to tell it.

That's the one thing that actually worked once I managed to get a chrooted copy of the latest certbot running on a copy of the config. But that took quite a bit of fiddling to set up and it should never have come to that in the first place.

I'm one of these people driving through Berlin city center streets with a car but I only do it once or twice per week to haul something heavy. I have a car because that's how I came to Berlin and the car has been very useful from time-to-time. I would never use it for daily commute as parking is complete nightmare but I would not get rid of it either. Public transport is very good here but I prefer bicycles.

I ended up selling my car and using a car sharing service instead. This had multiple positive aspects:

- it was cheaper - I didn’t have to deal with any car related stuff anymore (insurance, maintainance, remembering where I parked, ..) - The cars are usually just close by to where I lived and needed to go, no long roundtrips to get to the car or from the car somewhere else

Whether this works depends on the amount of usage – but should your usage decrease, it could be a viable alternative.

This is definitely the right way to go unless you have a need to take longer trips, outside the country, potentially hauling all your stuff. My life has not been that stable here, I needed to drive abroad some time ago and might need it again. But after some years, I would certanly get rid of my own car.

There is also Facebook's MyRocks which is MySQL frontend with RocksDB backend. It has lower write amplification than InnoDB, which is the main reason why it was created.

I understand the difference is that Nginx Inc. as a company is not in the business of providing a blogging platform or e-commerce hosting while MongoDB Inc. is actually providing SaaS (MongoDB Atlas) which I believe is their major revenue source.

I think that setting explicit job boundaries is a good thing to do. Otherwise you end up with role creep and potential burnout. This happened to me. There is a considerable pressure to pick up as many activities at the job as you can as hiring more developers is hard or impossible at some locations as the demand for developers has skyrocketed. This demand buries you even deeper under tasks once your colleagues leave elsewhere for better offers.

I also live outside US and every legit transfer larger than 100 USD or EUR from my account got blocked. Every time it happened, I had to send photocopied ID, bills, and other requested documents. I got a verified business account with lifted limits and still the same pattern continued. And every time I had to call support, otherwise it took about a month for them to review the documents and unlock the account. At the end I was able to get the money out by small transfers. Now I just require a SWIFT transfer from all my US customers.
