Careful, HN is also full of blowhards. "Blockchain" and "NoSQL" are dead giveaways.

Optimization requires knowing the schema, and query usage patterns, and data stats - which competent RDBMS engines use to great effect already. Sounds like you're looking for a magic silver bullet - there's no free lunch in our fi

SQL isn't a general purpose language, it's a data query language . It fulfils its purpose and does it well.

You've just described a Stargate from the SG1 universe :) Gates disintegrate objects that pass their event horizon, transmit the energy and "pattern" of the object to the exit gate which rebuilds them. Essentially everyone in

Energy consumption goes up with mining difficulty but its throughput stays the same. This manta keepa being repeated by the bitcoin crowd as if it were a fledgling technology, when its already 10 years old. Is mass adoption just around the

Existing financial systems process many orders of magnitude more transactions than Bitcon does. There's no acceptable excuse for its current consumption VS the throughput it provides.

Will you be rewriting Cloudflare in rust?

But maybe you weren't also a C++ developer, because if you were you'd not made such a ridiculous comparison.

Yeah I found this argument weird - the Catholic church has actively covered up and enabled paedophiles in their ranks for decades. Odd place for OP to draw the line...

And it only wasn't invaded because the entire country was (and is) a standing army, and Germany would have to pay dearly for every mile they tried to take. IIRC they even shot down german war planes that entered their airspace and suff

There's some strong research to support Tether being used to manipulate Bitcoin's value, and Tether's site was recently updated to clarify that it is in fact not backed 100% by USD. Both of these are top 10 crypto assets...

Been using Blokada since December and it's now a must-have; battery life has improved somewhat as well. I don't even make heavy use of my phone for social media apps, yet have close to 300K ad-related requests blocked since I inst

As far as I know the bulk of insulin for human use is produced using bovine/swine cattle. And my point still stands that preventative measures will have both a positive impact on peoples' health and on the demand for insulin. Pric

by GenericsMotors 8y ago
Insulin supply is unlimited, is it? A larger market that requires the use of more and more animals is "stable over time"? Like I said, address the cause of the demand increase and you'll address both the price and provide and

by GenericsMotors 8y ago
Of course not, but you can't expect there to be no change in price when demand keeps going up. That card you just used has two sides: people who are born insulin-dependent are paying more in part because of others who could have avoi

Agreed; the US has a healthcare system with terrible deficiencies for the prices you pay, but preventative measures seem to rarely be discussed when these issues are raised. If the article meant to be impartial it should also have included

It was not true yet you stated it with certainty as fact. Not interested in your snarky "apology".

You lost all credibility when you wrote that first sentence. But you carry on using empty interface with runtime type assertions and reflection if you think that's faster.
