What banks are doing is "a regular cycle" of modern capitalism (although this sounds like nonsense) - greed. This time was HSBC, yesterday was Deutsche, and tomorrow, who knows. I'd suggest reading a light book from Yanis Var

ES isn't cheap to start with, and I agree with you on that, but it is straightforward to scale after you go above 3-6 nodes. ClickHouse is easy to start with (a single server), but not so much with unobtrusive scaling up or down. >

The funny thing is that people are easily offended these days simply by including trigger words they don't like to see in a negative context. I'd invite you and other downvoters to re-read my prose again. The focus was not on some

I think it is a superiority complex. SAP, IBM, Oracle (and many small companies running for ages) are all making "shitty" products, yet, every year, their revenue is in billions. On the other hand, we have "beautifully hand-c

If you look at how other (console) programs on the system work, Vi(m) is more consistent than Nano. ed, sed, awk, readline, even perl... knowing one of them, you know how to use vi. Likewise, know vi, you know how to use most of these tools

I am not fond of the multimethods because they can easily tangle the code and give you a false sense of scalability. For example, in a blog post, "handle-action" is nicely decoupled with 3 different actions, but let's imagine
