Do you use incognito windows for each website you browse and close them before opening a new one? Do you disable cookies completely? If not, using NAT doesn't add much privacy for "ongoing session". Also, how many people shar

Doesn't it really hot in the summers in Winnipeg? Is just opening the atrium enough to make it bearable during the summers?

I'm the other way around. When I started with Python I instantly fell in love with "format is the syntax". A few format bugs later (people changed code and didn't push/pull a block, or merged two blocks by mistake),

The advantage of computers that you can buy without a pre-installed OS or with a free OS (freedos! Linus, etc...), is that you don't pay the Windows tax.

No. This link is about which distros and versions of Linux were tested on these models.

I install other distros of the OS on my phones. Upgrade are not automatic, I need to accept it, and I can always reinstall a previous version if I wanted.

That's what I was thinking, climbing up there burns some fuel, and only so much can be recovered into speed through a slow descent which airliners typically don't do, they hop between Flight Level. So I suspect only long flights w

Yes, eventual consistency, which is exactly the alternative I mention in my original post. If you can tolerate eventual consistencies (most problem can), than the database is no longer the slower piece.
679.
by dorfsmay 7y ago
That's where decisions around consistency kick in. You need to decide if you absolutely do not want to serve any API call unless you are sure they've been paid for, in which case you have to create a commit transaction on that acc

To the same table? To the same row? Say you're an ecomm, how do you update inventory on an item "concurrently"? If you're going to say "locks" or "atomic commit", that's exactly what I mean by &q

The reason the database is the bottleneck is that in traditional architectures everything can be duplicated and run in parallel except writing to the database which has to be done serially one write at a time. How fast you can write (and co
