  • All of that can be the same as other stacks except the Apache bit. You can stand up a Go application on Ubuntu hitting MariaDB as its persistence layer. Or Python. Or Node. Or Java. Or even Ruby. Shit, Haskell can do it.

    Also, exec is a code smell. Arbitrary code execution is a massive security risk, and the effort to mitigate that risk is often less than explicitly building out the required functionality.

    I think you need to explore more technologies, my friend. And read up on some security things

    Edit: I now realize you mean exec as in calling out to a shell. All languages have this. Still, the overhead of spawning and managing a new process is often more than just implementing the logic in your application itself.

  • You haven't read about the founding of modern Israel and the history of Zionism. Please do

    (Before accusing me if being pro-terrorist, pro-Hamas whatever, know that I consider both entities unnecessarily violent and evil. But it is important to know why they are that way)

  • You incentivize the same way unions are growing now. Just show people the benefits and constantly shout it from the highest mountain tops.

    So bb, tell me more about those sweet, sweet employee-owned companies for other readers' benefit.

    Tell me more about how employee owned companies are better at long term planning. Tell me more about how they're concerned about balancing profit for survival's sake with societal good. Tell me more about how they participate in the benefits of the free market via competition while not becoming all-consuming, profit-driven monsters. Tell me more about how they avoid stakeholder-chosen, sociopathic leadership in favor of leaders wanting the best for the company's mission and its employees. Tell me more about the coffee shop branch that was shut down by its company and reopened as an employee-owned cafe. Tell me more about AAA. Tell me sweet nothings, bb

    (And yes, I'm explicitly not talking about communism because it's an emotionally charged concept, and i want to focus on things maybe people don't know so much about)

  • I understand the bitterness, but whoever said the commenter wanted to do what capitalists demand? They just wanted to avoid bloodshed.

    There are always options like general strikes, massive voting movements, etc. It's just a matter of figuring out what will work and how to do it.

    If you're arguing that capitalists will respond with violence, that's fair, but then the blame is on them, not the workers

  • That whole culture is cancer. A lot of Koreans here think country music is typical American music, and i have to explain to them how that whole culture is super, super fucked and how they need to turn off that fucking music

  • Like everything these days, it depends. I live in Seoul, where the density is arguably too high. If you get on the line 2 train, which encircles Gangnam and the business and tourist districts, you're gonna be a sardine. If you hop on line 3 far enough east, it's totally chill during rush hour in August. Literally. Air conditioning. Wifi and cell signal. It's luxurious compared to LA.

    I think it's just a matter of city planning. In Seoul's case, I think they didn't properly account for population growth and how much the inner-circle areas would boom. Outside of line 2 and some key transfer stations, public transit here absolutely is relaxing. I brag to my friends in the states about it all the time

  • Chicken and egg problem. Crime highly correlates with poverty. People perceive transit as being a poor people thing because it's cheap. Only poor people take transit. You get the gist.

    Also, the incidence rate is probably lower than people's perception. I lived in San Francisco for about 3 years and only experienced one incident while taking transit everyday. Of course, transit doesn't have the problem mentioned above, so maybe it's not the best example.

    I tried taking transit a couple of times in LA and in my hometown in a suburb in Florida. Transit is underutilized in these places (read as, people see it as a poor person thing). It was surprisingly... uninteresting. It was just getting from A-to-B. People mostly just sat on their phones or stared out the window or chatted. Was quite nice.

    So maybe grab a friend or two for safety, since you're concerned about that, and give it a shot. I think you'll be surprised.

    But if you're in LA or New York, the trains are super dirty. So uh, i recommend not one of those. No idea where you're located

    (Edit: I'm assuming you're in the US because that kind of opinion is quite common there.)

  • I live in Seoul, which has superb public transit. It can work if designed well.

    Busses have their own lanes to ensure traffic minimally affects them. Bus-train transfers are well managed. High density means that mass transit ends up being faster due to traffic concerns. Speed limits are quite low, which also makes vehicle accidents less lethal.

    As for prohibitively expensive, that's only if you don't sufficiently tax your corporations ;)

    So basically, vote for local and national government that will create an environment where public transit works

  • Your reference to academic debate in a previous comment is hilarious. Academics know how to stay on topic.

    The original comment you replied to was referencing Israel's behavior as terroristic. You provided a counter argument that nation states cannot conduct terrorism based on the definition of the term terrorism. When provided with evidence supporting the opposing claim, you say the evidence is not valid because it is not authoritative. You then say there is no authoritative source for such evidence. You then use a classic goal post argument method of saying, "even if your argument is invalid, that doesn't work because x," rather than focusing on the original argument. You also misuse appeal to authority. Appeal to authority as a fallacy is only a fallacy when the item in question isn't explicitly defined by that authority. When you moved the goal post, you operated under the assumption of your continued argument that dictionaries are authoritative. However, your language is imprecise enough that you're going to claim you didn't make that assumption.

    That is not proper academic debate method. That is political debate method. This is the kind of shit that makes it difficult to make meaningful progress today. But hey, since we're not doing proper academic debate anyway, I'll indulge in some ad hominem. You're a terrible person for trying to confound a serious issue with irrelevant pedantic arguments and arguments in bad faith. Fuck off. No one cares if "terrorism" - as defined by you as some authority on words - can be applied to nation states. A nation state committed an act meant to cause terror in civilians (in order to take their land). People understood that as the intent, which is the purpose of words anyway.

  • I don't get all the hate and vitriol for StackOverflow. Sure, some people are assholes. Welcome to humanity. At least the system provides for voting to suppress the shit takes and general assholery.

    SO combined with Google is usually enough to help me find an answer that either gives the context I need to make a solution or a straight up solution. If people are posting and expecting a super detailed, correct answer in a matter of hours, I think their expectations need adjustment.

    I've posted very few questions and had decent responses for the majority of them. Is my experience uncommon?

    But yeah, layoffs suck, and I hope they find a way to be profitable. Hell, if they do a Patreon-esque model where people can just throw money at them because they appreciate the service, I'd subscribe. (If a similar thing exists that I don't know about, please link)

  • Nah, friend. Religion does encourage superstition and such nonsense, but it doesn't, on average, lead to violence and hate. As mentioned above, it's usually shit situations that make people susceptible to that stuff.

    Imagine you have a family. You used to be able to support your whole family, comfortably, with your job. But over the past twenty years, things have been getting more expensive. You've had trouble get raises to catch up. Even worse, the company is laying people off, and you're worried you might be next. It feels like the world is going to shit. You're too busy with work and family to keep track of all the politics and economics to know why things are happening. You just know that things suck, and you don't know why. So you start wondering, "what changed?" Well, there's a lot more talk of gay people. Or you've been seeing women with hijabs, and you never saw that before. Maybe they're the reason. At church, you complain about your life to your friends. They claim it's the gays and the Muslims. They tell you there's another church where the pastor knows what's going on. You should go there instead. So you do, and now you've gone from a pretty chill, "love everyone" kind of Christianity to the "gays should burn in hell" kind of Christianity.

    Honestly, beyond the different denominations, I think even within denominations, it can be almost an entirely different religion, based on the congregation and pastor/priest.
