CAP is trivial like Seinfeld isn't funny. It's so fundamental and well taught now that we forget there was a time before it was known.
CAP theorem is older than the career of nearly everyone on HN.
- quickthrower2 6y agoYes I remember the days when your choice was "Oracle" "SQL Server" or "Sybase". Affordable, Understandable, Reliable. Pick 1.
- jmnicolas 6y agoAre your qualities ordered? Because that would be the first time I see Oracle associated with affordable :)
- andi999 6y agoWhat I do not understand though is how anyone could have thought that Seinfeld was funny at some point of time. Edit: This is not a snarky comment, I really do not understand it. (But extremely off topic, I admit)
- gandutraveler 6y agoSeinfeld was designed to be eventually funny.
- EGreg 6y agoAlmost every episode culminated in an absurdist interaction of the various arcs, and it was hilarious. This isn't funny? https://youtu.be/wGhg-htVnJ0 https://youtu.be/wGhg-htVnJ0
- wccrawford 6y agoI quite enjoyed a lot of the Seinfeld episodes when it came out. Some characters annoyed me to no end, but they helped the narrative along and it was enjoyable overall. These days, I think we expect everything to go to extremes. It has to be hilarious, not just funny. It has to be tragic, not just dramatic. It has to be action packed, not just action. Seinfeld wasn't hilarious. It was just funny, in kind of the same way your friends are funny when you're joking around the table during poker, but any outsiders would probably think you weren't funny at all.
