It's time for sending HTML rendered on server with CSS, and JS for enhancement only to kill the SPA.

I'm not talking about this from a technical standpoint, though there are many reasons that in most cases this is the best technological fit.

I'm talking about this from the position of "what I want to use". I'm sick of loading and navigting overly JS heavy, overly styled, fragile "apps". When I encounter a "proper" website that loads fast, and I can understand easily it's like a breath of fresh air.

Were they? I had an Amiga 1200, a friend a 500, both of which were around long before games consoles became mainstream.

If I earned ~50 million dollars per year then I think I'd just pay for Internet.

Maybe .1% was a bad choice, should we only post articles that are relevant to people on a global average yearly wage of ~$12,000? How are we defining relevant? People earning $2000/year might be /interested/ in a thing, but not able to afford it (eg. a Mac computer or a large hadron collider), where do we draw the line?

Hi, I'm Will Jessop, currently the now part time CTO of Impactive looking for new opportunities in Rails application scaling and performance or technical leadership. Technically I have a huge amount of experience in scaling and optimising Ruby on Rails applications, Postgres database performance and scalable application architecture. I also have a lot of experience managing a team of 19 people, mostly engineers. I'm product focussed, and among other successes re-orged the product pipeline at Impactive to improve delivery reliability and quality outcomes, while drastically improving staff morale.

There's a podcast I really enjoy that has an episode on the rise and fall of the aztecs, highly recommended:

I use Go a lot and I completely disagree. I have also used Ruby a lot and even though I prefer writing Go most of the time (it depends on the task) bundler is far better.

go mod is the second best I've used for sure, but if someone releaed bundler-but-for-go I'd switch to it in a heartbeat.

I think I'll wait for the GTI model myself.

I'll pick up a pack if I see it. The top quality the supermarket we go to has is Rummo, it's the next step up from De Cecco (in the supermarket at least) and I buy it sometimes, but to me there's not a hell of a lot of difference between the two for the price difference.

Standards are the minimum, not the maximum.

Planes sometimes overshoot the runway, building an unecessary wall at the end of it might comply with a standard, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

I use kitchen tongs to pick up and jostle the noods as another commentator mentions. It starts out parallel as you say. Flour would add a flavour I didn't want and I don't have an issue with uneven cooking or clumping so I don't need to.

I live in the NW England, De Cecco is "middle" quality where I live and affordable, the brands you mention aren't available.

I make fresh tomato pasta sauces this way as well as the cheese based ones sometimes. A bit of butter and olive oil in the sauce, minimal water in with the pasta (I really like orecchiette) and finish the pasta off in the sauce with a bit of the minimal remaining water. Very clingy, very silky.

I don't get clumping. I use an adequate quality pasta (De Cecco mostly), stir it when I put it in the water, and a few times after that, cooking to al dente. If I'm making a Caccio e Pepe or Carbonara I cook the spaghetti or (my preference) Buccatini I'm aiming for the minimum amount of liquid left, ideally just enough to put in the sauce. I use a frying pan so I can lay the noods out flat to minimise the water.

As I said I don't get clumping, it is absolutely possible to cook noods in minimal water without clumping because I do it so try switching some thing up if it's happening to you.

By the time you reduce the liquid the pasta is going to be pretty cold. Just using less water takes less time.

Also British ones, though to be fair to them a fair number do actually have it turned on in the areas I'm in.

Yeah, I have experienced this as a sailor.

AIS is required for large ships in many if not most jurisdictions, to have it turned off is suspicious in itself. If you turn it off then re-appear later on somewhere else having had to traverse the area where the cables where at the time they got damaged, that's suspicious. You could turn it off in port, head out, cut the cables then return and turn it on again, but the window of time you had it off would straddle the cable damage time, and there's a high chance you would have been documented (video, radio traffic) leaving port in that time, and depending on the departure port it may be hard to leave without AIS on as the authorities may notice.
