I appreciate some events can be asynchronous for clients, for example: actions taken by other users, or events generated by the system. However, I do think implementation details (using async in the server) should be encapsulated from clien

Thanks It's nice to hear that NATS is tackling this problem space. I'll give it a try. > I disagree that simply because it is not advertised as a "edge" technology that it is not one of the best-in-class techs for edg

Currently, the only people I see talking about NATS for edge is Synadia - they're also not very specific. In theory/documentation, "edge" is a core NATS use case, but in practice why does NATS compare themselves to Kafka

Even with NATS jetstream, NATS has a focus on service communication. "It supports websockets" and "qos" does not mean it will work robustly with web apps if nobody uses NATS for that use case. See https://gith

They also don't list themselves as competitors to products that do target this market: ably, firebase messaging, pubnub, pusher. Instead, they compare themselves to Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pulsar, and gRPC, none of which work well on browsers

Nats is not something I see as a competitor for external clients (browsers, mobile apps), primarily because it doesn't handle reconnections / message delivery / quality-of-service / at-least-once or exactly-once delivery

Netflix would increase the salary of employees if they had higher offers. This idea is supported by Reed Hastings and IIRC was mentioned in https://www.norulesrules.com/ . To get a raise, you are encouraged to get a job offe

GP did not mention disciplines, and I don't think individual disciplines are to blame. The approach of evaluating students based on "text generation" is very boring to study for, easy to fool (a parent/guardian can do it

How does the seed value get created randomly? I presume it doesn't use the same global random number generator, since that would still make it deterministic?

Many people (including myself) have found their "sonicare" toothbrush break within 6 months. I got mine replaced under warranty, and it broke again after 1 year. Why does a 3 year old video for repairing Sonicare toothbrush have 4

Are images really this expensive to resize?: "it is $5 per additional 1000 images transformed.". Perhaps then we should ship a WebAssembly module for image resizing to the client and only validate image sizes server-side.

Quite sad news, since AppCode is a lot of better than Xcode for refactoring code.

I used to be a lastpass customer a few years ago, until I switched to Bitwarden. Can you tell me that you actually delete users data when they delete their account? Or do you keep backups which were also hacked? i.e. are your ex-customers a

Your comment is obviously (to me) someone who hasn't explored any other diet except meat eating (feel free to dispute). There are many people thriving on a vegan diet.

Protobufjs is good, but I can't use it because it's only a protobuf library, not a gRPC library. I end up having to use grpc-web, with all the problems it comes with. I was hoping Buf could solve that problem... Maybe in the futur
