For example because Chrome treats Google cookies differently [1]? This is a red flag for people. With Firefox you at least know what you get.

This comment seems a bit US biased. Other democratic countries, with semi-good political leadership, more educated population and social pressure regulated the spread of the virus quite well so far. I was actually quite impressed how from one day to another people started following those new rules meticulously.

Exactly, by saving us, science might do more harm than good. Finding a cure to covid-19 could also be seen as an human intervention into nature's attempt to regulate the human population growth. But in the the end there are only two possible outcomes: either humans will find a way to preserve an habitable environment or face extinction.

It depends on the perspective, in case of SQL I would argue that sanitizing the input is the same as escaping the output, because the query you are sending to the database is the output.

Escaping the output however as a term implies you are doing it right, while sanitizing the input could also mean you just replace("DROP", "") etc. (My last name is Dropmann, I know what I am talking about)

10 years is a long time, maybe until than its bought back to non-profit, you never know. Also it allows you the luxury of starting worrying about your migration later. If you could invest that money now with more than 4-5 times US interest rates (which is the price increase I would expect), then I would consider this a bad deal.

That is because most people found it appealing to have _one_ internet (read as domain name system). So the only option is to use the existing one. Given that, there was not really a choice.

Wait, if you can no longer trust ICANN, does not that mean you cannot trust the whole internet (domain name system) anymore?

If the original commenter would have meant that, he probably would have recommended using https://tools.suckless.org/sic/ and not some web application which is categorized as "stuff that sucks" See: https://suckless.org/sucks/web/

I think "popular" is the wrong adjective to describe what these numbers really indicate.

For example I believe electron is being discussed more, because its more controversial than classic UI frameworks. That does not mean it is more popular.

I rather have to wonder: who are these magical consumers who are willing to consider shelling out for an i9 and yet are still playing at 60Hz?

If you want to achieve 144 fps (constantly) you often have to lower graphics to levels where you're CPU bound.

For me also the overhead played a big role, to just get a bare kubernetes cluster you already need 3 nodes + 1-2 load balancers.

In case you are using GKE, you actually need two ingresses to support IPv6 + IPv4

This adds up to like 10 times the cost of an single droplet. For personal projects this seems kind of wasteful to me.
