For what it's worth, without the word option being emphasized here, yours is an equally selfish desire because it brings harm to that person or group of people who prefer the office experience. I liked working in an office, sorry you d

With how often large swaths of the internet are down or having issues I don't think most people in software have anything more than a cursory understanding of some of the terms you have in there, hard to be complacent about reliability

The most recent graph DB I've used was Dgraph, I've found the interface to be good to work with and it does scale well performance wise. Memory consumption was still too high for my tastes and if you need to build common algos on

I've had bad experience with Neo4J's memory consumption so I'm wary of that to be honest. I don't disagree that it has those things but we actively chose to go against it because of past issues with resource usage.

Honestly I never heard of it, I had a few in mind but that wasn't one. I'll give it a try next time I need a graph db maybe it can scratch my itch so to speak. My concerns basically range around memory consumption, query language

What this tells me is that the graph db space has a lot of room in it for someone to come along and make a kick ass product, because honestly every time I've had a problem a graph db can solve I remember I basically only have a few med

I think the reality is regardless of what we want, that at most companies the people who write docs are the people who write code. That doesn't mean it's the best way but it does make it the way we have to deal with a majority of

That's not true across many of the languages I use, dict.pop returns a key error in python for instance. By having a version that raises the standard library is basically saying not having a key is the error state.

Map.pop is one counter example. The failure mode is just {nil/default, Map} Unless you use Map.pop! which raises an error, and because pop! raises an error I would then expect Map.pop to return {:error, nil} or {:error, Map} or somethi

That's a really bad take on HTTPS. HTTP helps to enable a bunch of trivial but damaging attacks on an end user. If you run anything maybe more complicated than a static blog, and even then for your own security, HTTP is the wrong choic
