I don't get how food consumption can increase in a pandemic. Should be constant in or outside a pandemic situation. Possibly somewhere crops are getting rotten because of newly imposed export restrictions, or for some other things.
tl;dr : programmer inserts a large empty loop in a UI, so that in weeks when he achieves nothing, he removes a single zero from the end of the loop counter to speed up things a bit.
Right! Linode was $20/month at least and more focused to businesses. Not the then unbelievable $5/month for SSH ssh accessible virtual box with root access that DO started. Plus the SSD. Other hosting providers later caught on with DO.
But the thing I liked best was their "no hidden cost". You pay what you agreed before to pay. No surprise. No upsell, trick sell which were common with all hosting at that time.
DO still maintains that honesty. Not sure what will happen after their IPO.

Scaling for cheap is the winning strategy here. Google had its social network before facebook too. Orkut. Didn't scale cheaply. Invite only to limit load.
Facebook could do it. Fast loading pages serving billions. I was trying gab.com recently. Too slow. Too much non responsive. Even after they are trying their best. And even though they make money from premium membership.
Prototyping takes less time than writing up the requirement in paper. And customers can give more accurate feedback watching the prototype than reading the docs.
It rarely happens that once a prototype is written, the developer finds out it was all a wastage and the customer wanted something quite different.
Think of the prototype as a Photoshop mock, but interactive like the real application.
Coup news takes time to reach the media. If this is not fake more likely this video is from the previous day afternoon, when they raided the parliament.
Otherwise she had to place the camera on the road. And road views are fine specially when the background is the White House or the parliament building in this case.
Come on, you can run a linux distribution on a non-apple hardware and not even worry if any of those software will run on it. Plus any of the 40 other top TIOBE tools.
The Google play version was crippled beyond being practical anyway. Can't SMS, can't GPS, no access to address book.
The usable version is from F-Droid. And I had to install that one just to install Termux. No need to root your phone. Simply install F-Droid app store, and install from there.
