That’s obviously not what I meant. I meant running different aspects of the monolith on different servers.

by alkonaut 1y ago
That’s just _duplicating_ the nodes horizontally which wasnt what I meant. That’s obviously possible snd common. What I meant was actually butchering the monolith into separate pieces and deploying it, which is - by the definition of monoli

The POC shouldn't even be mentioning banks explicitly. Any one that needs or could know you. Any authority such as a tax authority, voting registry, whatever, that already knows who you are, could verify this. An authority is preferabl

Microservices vs not is (almost) orthogonal to N servers vs one. You can make 10 microservices and rent a huge server and run all 10 services. It's more an organizational thing than a deployment thing. You can't do the opposite th

Trying to use OTel in any scenario outside of web backends such as desktop is a frustrating exercise in to trying to find exactly what small subset should use. I wish they had more examples of other types of software.

So long as that's true, it's also likely you'll see the same markup for the spark, so they should compare similarly.

In my cold(er) part of the world no one has a dedicated AC but lots of people have heat pumps for heating, which can be used as an AC during the (annoyingly few) hot days. But while their efficiency is great (3+ kW heat for 1kW electricity)

26-28 daytime temp is lovely. 26-28 at night would be horrible without AC though.

We should have AC everywhere where night temperature is regularly over 20C part of the year. I get 30C some days almost every summer but almost never over room temp at night - meaning I can easily just open a window in the evening and the h

The value of having more people actually see the code will be there even if it’s just an unnecessary syntax nitpick.

Yes but pirate site 1 does that for shows A, B, and C while pirate site 2 does it for show B, C, and D now you have rivaling versions of B and C etc, and worst case one of them did a poor job. If you just choose one source you have decent c

It's still hit & miss. You still get shit content interspersed with the good there. There isn't perfect curation so you can have a missing episode, a version that doesn't allow removing the spanish audio track, a duplicat

Windows UX has many warts too, but the idea of a single system clipboard where I can copy paste between a console and a web browser in either direction using the same shortcuts in both, seems like a really low bar for an acceptable clipboar

Also - that's easy for everyone. It's basically a framework so rigid/simple (Those are adjacent concepts for frameworks) that the business logic is almost boilerplate. That is, so long as you stay inside the guard rails. Ask

I think the key thing it misses though (usually) is that you usually have to go grab things. I'm not willing to go download something in order to view it. Not even spending a few minutes time grabbing a whole season of a series and the

Wow. High end went cashless first of all here. Probably a decade ago. But yes - cashless is obviously not w.r.t tips. But once a society is 99% cashless no one carries cash so won’t cash tip either.

How is the trend? I imagine it’s already possible to estimate what year it will be almost zero from that trend. It also tends to accelerate: once a restaurant has very few cash customers they tend to become no-cash because the cost of cash

That’s exactly what US waiter employment is. And it needs to die.

by alkonaut 1y ago
The cost of a ”meal” in a restaurant is: rent, wages (for chefs, managers, wait staff, etc) ingredients, profit margin, taxes and likely a dozen other things. Taking one of these items out of the cost and trying to charge it separately is a

There’s tipping everywhere (more or less, there are some exceptions). But there’s just one country that I know of where 15% is ”no tip” because it’s the expected baseline, and 25% is a small tip because it’s 5-10% over the expected minimum

And here I thought the type system and error handling were the two biggest Go warts. You’re now telling me their memory model is basically ”YOLO”?

How did they fail to make this an option in the first place? To be very clear, I don’t even want to translate videos in languages that YouTube know I don’t understand. Much less in videos languages I do understand. Also I don’t think it’s a

The EU has really put their foot down when it comes to these claims. There is no legit delay or cancellation. Either I'm there on time or not. And if I'm late or the flight is cancelled then the carrier will reimburse. This seems

Yes. And there should be studies that show that the number of people who are hampered by syntax highlighting is probably so vanishingly small sompared to those that are either helped or not helped (unhelped, but not hampered) Syntax highlig

How does that matter, if it's more _easily_ comprehended (faster, with less effort, with fewer mistakes in comprehension) with the highlighting, for any level of complexity? Not choosing to use syntax highlighting is just wrong on ever
