Making a big international incident about it is just feeding the people doing it. Making international headlines is about the best outcome for a cause like that to achieve.

Except it's gonna cost you more like $499.99 to stay alive.

I like fortune. I have it piped to lolcat in my terminal rc. It adds a bit of flare to opening a terminal.

Thanks for the notice, I've upgraded my instance as well.

but being able to cache locally and have that information persistent between uses dramatically drops the initial page load time.

This is already 100% possible through standard web methods. Heck, the web browsers often do resource caching for you.

then Chrome came along and touted their multi-threaded, isolated memory model

And the idea that one tab could crash but the rest of your browser still functioned was pretty revolutionary. I remember being impressed at the idea and using chrome for that alone. All it took was one page with misbehaving JavaScript to cripple your entire web browser back then until the browser offered you to stop the offending script.

With any luck it'll provide the authentic sort of answers developers have come to expect from a quality site like stack overflow. Like telling you to read the documentation, use the search feature, marked as duplicate, why you're even using that programming language for this, or shilling it's new JavaScript framework that came out last week. All the while reminding you that it's superior and really can't be bothered with your stupid question.

I'm not any kind of professional and don't have any truly profound advice, but just remember that time continues to run on, and everything passes eventually. Until that time, focus on the things you can change and improve, and just keep thinking "This too, shall pass."

Oh man, if you gave a programmer minified C code with no comments, whitespace, or newlines in printed paper, they'd probably charge more than your lawyer to read that shit.

Top Day/x hours in descending order, based on last visit. Gives you the top voted stuff made in more recent time. Though my default sort is actually by new.

Yeah, please don't add videos to things my instance has to store. The images already pull enough disk space as is.
