That seems outright illegal misappropriation of funds, not just being "evil".

Insurance is done to reduce risk, gambling to increase risk. Betting on sports is insurance if and only if you bet against your own team for an amount not greater than the winnings.

Stolon or an equivalent way of automatically deploying on Kubernetes with an Helm chart being officially blessed by the PostgreSQL team and made part of the official distribution. Also, same for a multi-master solution.

So if the hardware running the database is suddenly destroyed they try to start another instance really fast? That seems inferior to having multiple sync replicas ready to take over without having to start a process and replay the WAL. Also

Apparently they have several benchmarks where they claim that decompression is faster than memcpy (!). However, this is only the case because on several Intel x86_64 benchmarks they report memcpy performance between 5-10 GB/s, while ev

It's easy to make this non-contradictory by making the rules apply only to future contracts, or only when the decision maker wants them to apply.

The advantage of GraphQL is that the code for each API endpoint, which depends on frontend design (e.g. how many comments should be visible by default on a collapsed Facebook story), is now part of the frontend codebase (as a GraphQL query,

The dependency is unavoidable due to the way addition works. The approach in the article only works if you are adding a lot of numbers together, and then indeed doing carry propagation once at the end is obviously faster. But of course ther

You can use a[(i, j, k)], and also a[i][j][k] for some data layouts. As for multidimensional array traits, you can use Index<(usize, usize, usize), Output = f32>.

It's because not even the foundations are not properly engineered, mostly due to lack of funding (because they can't be sold, and anyway the market doesn't reward proper engineering beyond a basic level, and governments don&#

Having expiring certificates/key rotation might be a net negative: if you keep the private key secure, there is no need to rotate it, and it avoids a lot of hassle. Also, if you have a revocation mechanism, then rotation doesn't a

It's the only production-ready language that is both memory safe and has zero-cost abstractions (i.e. for any C code you have Rust code that compiles to equivalent assembly, and using more abstractions in Rust does not make the assembl

Seems dubious, since the cultural difference between people in the same country is huge and can be much larger than the difference between countries. The average programmer at Instagram in California probably doesn't have much more in

Because it's impossible to do this automatically in the general case. In particular, types may not be sendable to other threads, or may have side effects on dropping, and in those cases you would need to rearchitect the code before you

I don't think it's likely that you ever really need query hints. Even if updating analyses, creating indices, changing the query, etc. fails, you can always either use CTEs or temporary tables, or use a stored procedure that manua

Reselling at higher price is only profitable if the original seller are selling at a price that is too low because they failed to raise the price properly, and in that case the resellers are correcting the prices. The advantage of having hi

While equivalent to a proper approach, it feels like hooks are an unnecessary hack. What could be done is to have the component function return a closure that returns the VDOM nodes instead of the VDOM nodes themselves, and then the hooks w

It's easy to see that this cannot be a valid definition for fraction addition because applying it along with the rule that a/b = (ak)/(bk) gives a contradiction: 3/7 = 2/4 (+) 1/3 = 1/2 (+) 1/3 = 2&#x

It's not a bug, it's due to the trait (aka typeclass) system. Apparently Haskell has some restrictions that make typeclasses decidable (if -XUndecidableInstances is not set), but Rust has no such mechanism other than numeric itera

A big breakthrough can be in finding ways to use contractors instead of employees, or in other words allowing people to contribute when they want rather than being tied in a full-time employment contract. Obviously there are big, possibly i

Have you considered presenting the data in a concise manner in addition to the in-depth analyses? That is, a table on the jepsen.io frontpage, or at least on each product's review page, with database products and configuration on rows
