It's opt-in. My guess is that the gap between people willing to install an add-in and people willing to dig into their settings and check a box is not large.

If you clear metadata, the following pathological case results in an inconsistent read:

* x = 0 and y = 0, starting out in the "good" state with metadata cleared;

* client A reads x with no metadata, then for whatever reason blocks or is delayed;

* client B writes x = 1 and y = 1, completes the transaction, and the metadata is cleared;

* client A reads y = 1.

This shouldn't be an issue unless you aggressively clear metadata and have a long-running client.

Next time you see a story about sexism against women (redundant but needs the clarification here anyway), watch its movement. Yeah, it may get up in the top for a bit, but you can watch stories that are older with fewer points and comments move up above it. Happens every time.

I can't wait to see this buried beneath older stories with fewer points and comments, the way every story on sexism gets buried here.

Oh wait this is about how awful women are to men. Never mind.

Because, as the OP says, he spends more time programming than doing SysOps.

Stay classy.

It's also been shown that when they do ask for higher salaries or raises, they are perceived in a negative light whereas men who do so are perceived in a positive light.

So they don't ask because if they did it would harm them.

I'd prefer for it to not. It's better to use nginx or stud to provide HTTPS on top of an HTTP app.

Thanks for pointing this out. I did go through high school, so I'm hip to your extremely erudite reference.

> "Manichean" is a word you should just look up, as it is quite useful.

Really. I don't find much use for it. Maybe if I just spent more time virtuously casting my opponents as evil users of "Orwellian" tactics, I could also point out that _their_ worldview is manichean.

Incidentally, this is Hitlerian argumentation style. Instead of making a straightforward argument, you load it with emotional baggage to support your Stalinesque worldview.

> The fact is that the tech industry is a super-easy target for people to jump on, and this is wrong on so many levels it is barely worth writing about anymore.

Yeah, let's just stay silent and the problem will fix itself.

Scientists can quadruple dip for all I care. It's such a tiny concern, and I'm sure they actually need the money.

Corrupt politicians and financial institutions? There's something to be worried about.
