I'm more familiar with SQS than RabbitMQ, but have used both, and have chosen between queue and stream based solutions. Kafka is a stream, and can be replayed (if you have it set up to store stuff). Rabbit is simply a queue, and when t

Good card counters are always a team, you can't go far solo as it's pretty easy to tell when you're betting 20 dollars one hand, and 500 another. You usually have a few smaller players just playing fixed bets who call over so

I think he's referring to the feedback loop that hoarding causes. If you're confident you'll be able to buy the good in the future, you'll buy less now. If a hoarder clears out the supermarket, that means that everyone t

As someone who does not program in functional languages, this really really helps clear up the article and surrounding discussion. Good stuff!

They were down slightly, marking the public's general consensus that while the news was worrying, that there was still a good possibility of containment. If you feel like you have a better understanding of risk than the markets do, it

Being infected just means your cells have been infected and are starting to produce more viruses. That process is heavily dependent on viral load and the host's immune system. You're only symptomatic when your body begins a whole

I mean, I'm a big fan and resident of the US, but it's accurate to say we're not doing the best job with our infrastructure. We have a lot of trouble with aging bridges: https://www.artba.org/2018/01&#x2F

He's not usually right, but he's usually right enough AND he's simple enough that listening to him for most people is a net benefit. His anti-debt/anti-borrowing views work really well for his audience of those that are

There are a ton of reasons taking a loan is better than buying outright if you have any sort of risk tolerance and you can get a low APR. Over 5 years, on a 20k car, inflation would have eaten ~2k purchasing power of the loan, while the car

Minimums are legal. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 permits businesses to impose a minimum purchase amount of up to $10 for credit card use, but the minimum must be the same for all credit card issuers

You've said this a couple times, like it's an instant cure. However, basic economics of supply and demand mean you're not getting usual prices on inflation hedged goods. The guy that has inflation hedged goods is not going to

This seems weird, I don't know you would want to link your enjoyment with a game to it's unsolvability. Like don't you enjoy a game to enjoy a game? You can't beat Carlsen either, but you enjoyed the game at your level.

Git does not, but most git hosts have that built in. If you host your git repo in GitHub, you'll use GitHub's built in tracking.

PRAW is also a great python reddit "scraper" that allows you to pull data via their API very easily.

To implement this, you have to have a developer who is doing something else switch to this, get up to speed, and make a change. This involves risk and opportunity cost. The question for enterprise software development isn't "Will

This is a really good explanation, but you would think market forces would kick in. If a company drops 20% (or even 3%!) from an event that doesn't effect the business itself, you're going to get smart money buying. I'd have

The argument against that would be that you can give your kid a luxurious cushion, you just don't get to give him 1000x what the average person would need. Keeping your kid safe from pretty much anything you went through doesn't r

Also worth noting that if you go long, and there is a stimulus required, you may be in trouble as rates are low enough that you can lose money to inflation. No free lunch.

You say it like that and it sounds bad, but you say it like "Microsoft offers a discount if you bundle cloud and license spending" and it sounds pretty fair to me. Goodness knows there are a lot of other cloud options than Microso

But that's the point. It is a fuzzy thing. Software is built on business priorities, not technical ones. These align a decent amount of the time. Spending the extra time and money to set up tests is very much worth it. Is it worth impl

This isn't a thing. It may have happened, especially if it's some fitness startup or something, but this seems like just a piece of outrage bait.

Trains work incredibly well, but they don't solve the last mile problem. Hi-rail trucks are pretty common in railway maintenance. There is probably some sort of steam-punk past that could have happened where we're all driving hi-r

In addition to that, while we know data was taken, it hasn't shown up in any of the customary haunts for stolen information. Someone got access, and squirreled away the data. Just some hacker looking to make some money from identity th

This is far too reductionist. Of course there is a middle ground, from open work spaces that emphasize quiet (library style), to small "pods" that hold 6-10 people in a team, there are a lot of options that companies provide. You

I don't think "most companies" use open offices. I think it varies. I do agree with you, when I graduated from college, I explicitly didn't want to be in a cube farm. Graduating me was an idiot, and I very much do want t

It doesn't, but it sure was easier implimenting one connection through Google APIs instead of two: one through Google and one through local network.

Efficiency isn't the metric people care about on either side of the equation though. Management only cares about results. If you work 3 hours at 100% efficiency, 5 at 75% and 3 at 50%, that's still more results than working 4 at 1
