Microservices with their own database are often a terrible design choice, but I will grant you it is one of the two dimensions that make sense: 1. is there a _very significant_ difference in the horizontal scaling footprint/model or de

Great advice. Microservices also open the door to polyglot, so you lose the ability to even arrive that everyone uses/has access to/understands the things in a common libCompany that make it possible for anyone to at least make se

it's called 3-way because from the point of view of a network message diagram, there are three arrows which change direction at each step. what it really amounts to is a three phase transaction.

I've always disliked that lock cyclic dependencies is discussed as a hierarchy when what it really comes down to is a linear order of locks. The problem with lock _hierarchies_ as a concept is that a lock really should represent serial

In particular: "There is, however, one enormous difference that I didn’t think about: You can’t build a cloud vendor overnight. Azure doesn’t have to worry about a few executives leaving and building a worldwide network of data centers

Being downvoted for tone, I guess, but the "remote influencing via waves" is _the_ classic delusion common to a lot of psychotic disorders. The poster needs to seek actual help.

A lot of people confuse the secondary effects of alcohol (basically, mostly, social permission) with the primary effects. Most developed countries have purged almost all ritual from their cultures, which means that there aren't really

"all with their different nuances in how they alter mood and thinking patterns" This is honestly not true unless you are including absinthe. Ethanol is the only active ingredient and it has one of the most well understood dose-res

Transport networks are often mpls, SR, whatever, and this approach reveals nothing inside the SP ASes for the most part.

It’s not even rare for Ethernet to be 1.5usec or less latency per switch. 80usec would be impossible to sell in any compute cluster.

Strategically, in global terms from a US-centric point of view, it would be very good if Intel could recover, as having the entire world reliant on TSMC would be bad for everyone. Also there really isn't any other org like Intel at th

"you should die because our ancestors did" "you should be/keep slaves because our ancestors were/did" etc. Your logic is weird and false. There's nothing holy about dying.

On rare occasions the live vaccine actually reverts. Polio is an amazing story because the live vaccination campaign may have had collateral impact on the families of the vaccinated as they shed particles.

I know it was a joke but lots of bacteria can survive simple boiling as endospores.

For those who cannot visualize things: try the same experience with your eyes open. I can't visualize anything with my eyes closed - maybe black-and-white shadowy outlines if that - but with my eyes open I can visualize things kind of

They will not understand your point. It is a kind of invincible ignorance, a little like how rich kids can’t understand why anyone has to budget. We’ve squandered almost all of the advancements.

Are you sure shrooms? If chocolates or gummies the compound therein is not quite the same as recent news stories have noted.

Force is too strong a word. Yes, it's possible someone just passes whatever, or just passes strlen(s) which is an even dumber answer.

For most strings, it seems to be that using a varint would solve the overhead problem. For short strings the overhead would be no longer than the null byte (which you could discard, except when interacting with existing APIs). But as with _

This. I don't understand the objection and I spent 20 years writing C code. The reason to use strlcpy is not to _fix the bug_ but rather _to prevent the bug from turning into a crash, memory corruption, or exploit_. It also forces dis

Never use a string. What if the string is wrong? Use hashes.

A lot of things work that way because it’s obvious to everyone except the container runtimes on Linux.

As an aside, a lot of people don't know about ldd, and introducing it to them is very cool, but it should almost always come with a warning - maybe add a note that people should be careful with ldd - ldd _may_ execute arbitrary code. T

It's a shame that DLL hell was never resolved in the obvious way: deduplication of identical libraries through cryptographic hashes. Containers basically threw away any hope of sharing the bytes on disk - and more importantly _in ram_.

The tech industry has long, long, long been a rapacious pump and dump scheme where the tech is barely relevant and most of the industry has been harvesting violations of social norms and regulations (tracking and ad tech, Uber, etc.). The o
