Vast majority aren’t in compliance, and the data they do publish is essentially useless. Lots about it online, but a reasonable interview here https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2024/02/13/the-fight-for-transp.

There are a lot of debit products out there. ButfFor the majority of traditional banks, if you turn off overdraft the account keeping fees for debit are far far less than the average carried CC interest bill. Those pre paid credit cards com

somewhat true but the reality is far worse - points/rewards are mostly subsidised by the poorer folk who get caught paying the > 25% interest on their carried credit card balance.

I think perhaps you don't understand because you presumably have a reasonable amount of money and cashflow buffer. It's hard to appreciate how much of a trap credit cards are if you have very little money, or live truly paycheck t

its not really a technical problem. As others have mentioned on various threads, its a people coordination problem. Its hard to socially/organizationally coordinate the efforts of 100s of engineers to a single thing. It just is. If the

probably 1000s hah. It's the speed of change. third party libraries dont change much, or fast - and you dont really want them to. The software you build internally at a product company with 500+ engineers changes much much faster. And

its not crazy to me... ive worked at a couple of places that decided to try to use libraries in a web services context. They were all disasters, and the libraries ended up being considered severe tech debt. The practical aspects of updatin

i agree that its possible. From what i've seen its probably harder though than just doing services. You are fighting against human nature, organizational incentives, etc. As soon as the discipline of the developers, or vigilance of the

2019 data is fairly out of date. 2023 shows India is below replacement now (2.1 and dropping). china drastically so (1.2 and dropping). Those are the biggest populations by a large margin. Projections for the region show continued declines,

I live in California on a latitude identical to Melbourne. And solar costs 3x more. Tariffs are tiny. I still don’t get it!

Yes they, and especially women, had absolutely no choice due to lack of birth control and various repressions. A relevant and useful comparison.

I don’t think they are mistaken though? Housing and childcare are multiples more expensive than a generation ago, makes sense people need to feel established.

There’s not a lot to be charitable about in the parent comment. Some poorly researched race replacement bs? You personally are right, it has never been safer health wise to have children. It has never been more expensive either, win some, l

Yes, nevermind the most expensive housing, education and healthcare ever, even in inflation adjusted terms. No it’s the children who are wrong. you might look at the birth rates in china or almost any other Asian country, and see how your v

I somewhat agree with what you're saying, but it still really depends. On growth rate in users and content, access patterns, UGC incremental size etc. Machines keep getting bigger, if your growth rate is low/moderate you might nev

I have noticed this! But I dont get it. Construction labour in the US is generally much cheaper than in australia. In fact almost everything is cheaper in the US. Why is solar so much more expensive? whats in those "soft costs"?

ok lets look at it. Start with the absolute best case for sharding - a perfectly segregated data model, say either by user or customer id. No shared data, no joins between tenents. Some relatively straightforward framework code to redirect

by dalyons 3y ago
Remember most of the business is on prem installs . Introducing the huge complexity of sharding to the codebase would have benefited these installs approximately zero.

I think the author understands sharding very well. And the operational complexities of it and thus why it should be a last resort.

tbf, snowflakes whole thing & what makes them "next gen" vs a traditional datawarehouse is that you dont may much for data at rest. You pay as little as possible for the "warehousing" part, and pay mostly/only f

Ok, but the OP and the article are talking specifically about a directly shared rdbms scenario, not some nebulous concept of shared data. Also, operationally it’s not “semantics” at all. You don’t get into (many) operational problems with a

by dalyons 3y ago
That’s just not true though, I’ve worked at decent sized companies without shared RDBMs, so you don’t have to. You DO have to share data in other ways, usually datawarehouse or services, but that is not the same thing.

by dalyons 3y ago
I disagree I guess. Multiple companies I’ve worked at have broken up their shared db into many dbs that individual teams own the operations of, and it works just fine. At significant scale in traffic and # of eng. No central dbas needed - s

FWIW this isn’t true anymore with newer uuid schemes like v7 that are roughly time sortable.

Or, you just avoid doing multi tenet from the start and none of those become your problem to unblock. What’s the downside?

Why would you make it a shared resource if you don’t have to? Decades of experience have shown us the massive costs of doing so - the crippled velocity and soul crushing agony of dba change control teams, the overhead salary of database pri

I’m willing to bet hydrogen was the wrong bet for busses too, esp in Asia given the explosion of BEV tech and production coming out of china.
