It's shocking to me that even in a technical audience like HN, so many people don't understand the fairly simple story that you've outlined here. Look around this thread and see how many people spread the narrative like &quot

Apparently it’s more subtle: although the article begins and ends by talking about Bozeman (and saying even Bozeman doesn’t actually use this method), it turns out that Havre is the city that saved some money and is in fact using this met

In addition to your reasons, I also downvoted the comment because it is completely irrelevant; whether or not GCP might someday be shut down has nothing at all to do with security best practices on the platform. If you wanted to discuss GCP

But then it isn't stateless, right? Because you need to know which current tokens are unrefreshable. You only have to involve state in 1 request every 10-15 minutes upon refresh. All other requests can be done without having to check

While this is a great article and was completely accurate as of the time it was written, I believe it predates SKIP LOCKED, as well as some of the more recent design changes in Que which minimize the likielihood of this being an issue: htt

Wow, that’s a beast of a laptop. I just configured one and the cost isn’t all that different from my 18mo old iMac Pro :) I have to imagine that the battery life isn’t great given the non-mobile parts, and that it must weigh a ton? I’m enjo

Thermal limits. Lots of cores in a tiny space will generate lots of heat under a full workload. They can do full speed in short bursts (or when only one core is working hard) but can’t sustain full performance indefinitely without damaging
