There is speed and there's the perception of speed. Some code (games) has to run fast. But most of the code we work on has to only have the perception of speed. If you're loading all of your resources and making the user stare at a twirly, you're doing it wrong.
Question, when FedEx says "Southwest Abort!" and then the controller tells them to turn right and Southwest says "negative" is that because they didn't have enough runway to do either?

> This keyboard would be, by far, the part of the MacBook Pro that is used the most by everybody who owns one, and it is so poorly engineered for the pursuit of thinness.
I think this is a clear case of over engineering, not just "poor" engineering.
I would not doubt that a not very small percentage of the conspiracy theories posted are done so by people who don't actually believe it but want to see how many others they can convince.
However, I do also believe that some pretty sick people use 8chan to recruit people to continue their campaign of hate.
> Microsoft used to have an army of testers who would do a mix of manual and automated testing to help ensure the quality of the product. In 2014 they were all fired.
> ... Devs are expected to test their own code now
I'll never understand this line of thinking. A good tester doesn't think the way a good developer does. It's a different but equal and necessary skill in order to provide a strong product.
We're running pi-hole network wide and we just planned a trip with no glitches. The only annoyance (if it's really an annoyance) is clicking on a link in a google search and it's blocked. Go back to Google, realize is was an ad, scroll down a little further and click the real link. No big deal. Nobody in the house is complaining about not reaching sites.
So, yes, it is possible to do this in real world scenarios.
> Zuckerberg reportedly took action after he learned that a developer wanted to purchase one of his neighbor's homes and use the fact that Zuckerberg lived close by as a marketing tactic. He started purchasing the homes last December. Zuckerberg will lease the four homes he just bought back to its current residents.

Edit: Assuming I had the millions to do it, that is.
I would disagree. I've a very healthy sex life, but I have always disliked watching sex. Watching it simply does not interest me one bit.
