Honestly you are the first person I’ve ever heard that prefers chromes tab system. Check out tree style tabs it’ll change your life. I hate chrome now solely due to it
Being the scale of Amazon has nothing to do with whether or not fault-tolerance is important to an application. In fact, amazon has far fewer real needs for fault-tolerance than many other businesses (its a retail site!).
You should use embedded mode if you do not require fault-tolerance and can miss updates. Otherwise, don't. Regardless of scale.
It depends - usually moving computation closer together is much more performant. You may be underutilizing your DB or spending a lot of roundtrips on networking and this is a good way to reclaim that. It does not prevent you from having services - it just reduces the #.
yeah this is where traits instead of hierarchies become useful - I should be able to implement the Hash interface for an object I do not own and then use that object + trait going forward for HashMap and HashSet.
But the upgrade....didnt go as planned? In what way was it a misrepresentation? It was certainly generic but definitely not exaggerated. Felt fine for an editorialized title
There is no crime wave. I’m an SF resident and lived in SOMA for much of Covid. This is mostly manufactured BS and does not justify surveillance by an irresponsible police force who can’t solve the crimes they see happen in front of their own faces
perhaps if you are driven and understand what you are supposed to be working on remote work is not a tall order. School, on the other hand, is not intrinsically as interesting as whatever career you chose. You don't get paid. You are younger (and thus may be less able to concentrate on boring tasks).
They are different. In some contexts more than others but still different. I love going into the office but pretending its magically more efficient is a bit silly. I like getting distracted at work but don't think it makes me more valuable to the company. I certainly don't write better code at work - if anything my home office allows me to shut out distractions more easily (a luxury not everyone has). This entire argument is silly - not allowing remote work is denying a large portion of a workforce. That workforce may or may not be better or worse but its certainly cheaper for the employer. Why deny yourself a large talent pool?
To be fair, you could just give them the question ahead of time. Email them 3 days before their interview with the question and say see you soon. That is much closer to actual conditions
look at companies like dataminr or plenty - they have taken over a billion dollars in funding afaik. That level of cash is pretty rare for successful companies from what I see. 100M is a lot too though - i don't disagree.
This isn't really targeted for small devices - its very very applicable with large computers in datacenters (id argue those machines will benefit even more from this). Any time you wait on I/O you potentially park an entire thread when you could be multiplexing your threads. This is a net win for almost all users of threads (except perhaps 100% cpu intensive tasks)
Appreciate your response but disagree with the premise that
> That's how much everything, from infrastructure to land use to feed to water to labour to delivery costs for the same ground beef you'd get from livestock.
There are a ton of subsidies provided by the government that are not accounted for in this cost. Water rights, land, delivery all are accounted for differently and I would not say with any measure of confidence that they are all represented well in the consumer cost. There is also the large externalities that are completely not accounted for like carbon emissions.
It is sort of like comparing electric cars vs gas back when people would comment how cheap oil is and ignore the wars fought over it and the environmental devastation wrought from its production.
What solution wouldn't require its own specification + quirks? Whether its a Dockerfile or nix package I don't see the difference besides people tend to be familiar with only 1 of the many options.
Im not comparing whether Dockerfiles or buildpacks or nix packages are more ergonomic than one another but i do think your comment is...misguided. From what I have heard Nix is pretty wonderful to use and simplifies the problem - it just requires you learn about Nix a bit which i think is a fair trade-off for the benefits it supposedly provides
Its culturally acceptable to shame drunk drivers, smokers (in public spaces), and more. Im not necessarily agreeing we should but it certainly follows that shaming people for endangering others re: vaccines is in line with modern cultural norms.
you must be running tiny containers - I spin up a dozen containers and run a few tests every day. The entire test suite takes 45 minutes on my mac and 25 on linux. Docker for mac performance is atrocious
