There are cavalier attitudes on one side, and alarmist attitudes on the other side, and in my humble opinion saying that "Anytime you do anything that's actually at all effective, there is hell to pay" falls in the latter. Wh

Is that the same as zinc hydroxyapatite? In Italy it's pretty well known under the brand name BioRepair (which is how I discovered about it, and personally I'm very satisfied with it)

Of the shark was by-catch it means that it had been caught by commercial fishing and had already died when the scientists examined it.

The goal of all these lockdown measures is exactly to limit the number of additional deaths.

In the early noughties I really believed that free speech online would work with just a very light moderation. We tried that approach with a rather small online community for an Italian political party where already all participants had pre

"Why" can be a confusing word when talking about evolutionary history, because the answer is necessarily self-referential: eels do it this way because it's a successful adaptation, and they got to this point through a series

From what the article mentions, it looks like the sensitive subjects they worry about are those which can get a company burned at the stake on social media these days. It's not great, but it's un unsurprising effect of the current

Lots of rails back end applications power SPAs on the front end. Sometimes for good reasons, often enough just because it was more "modern" - but much less efficient in terms of programming.

Not just reduce the monitor brightness, but also use "dark mode" whenever possible. I read a lot on the web, and found the darkreader extension incredibly useful for my eyes strain.

Each individual microservice becomes simpler, but the whole system becomes much more complex than an equivalent monolith with a single DB. Microservices have their advantages, but simplicity and testability aren't part of them.

Specialised silicon is always going to be more efficient than general purpose silicon, but you lose in flexibility. Don't expect this kind of performance gains across the board.

What Madonna makes is proportional to the number of streams of her songs, so a more successful album will bring her more money.

From your following comments I see that you consider a monolith a software that does "everything", from managing staff holidays to giving services to customers. But this isn't what monolithic architecture Vs microservices is

What ruby blocks have in common with js anonymous functions is that they are closures, so that might be what made them click when you learned about those.

For a sample of one, I've run rails in containers for years without problems. Is your problem the containerization, or trying to split a rails app into microservices? I've also split a rails application into separate services, but

My point is that public humiliation is much more likely to create resentment than to remove unconscious bias.

Most people (luckily) perceive racism to be a bad thing. Being forced to publicly confess to being something you should be ashamed of is the definition of humiliation.

Having to publicly humiliate yourself is pure Maoism. How can you compare it to learning type theory?

If you're talking about a web application or API back end with a smallish startup team, time to market is definitely going to be much longer for a microservices architecture compared to developing a "monolith" in a batteries

The article mentions expected 5x durability for the reasons you mention. Even if it was just 2x, that would be great.
