Consistent hashing (or more generally weighted rendezvous hashing) provides pseudorandom allocations with minimal reallocations when parameters change. This is exactly the properties desired for rolling out feature flags gradually over an i

Take something perfect and internetlify it. It was basically trained on exactly that data.

Well, make no mistake, the large ones use ffmpeg too ;) The secret is in the flags.

See, I _am_ a dev. I run telemetry on my infrastructure, I analyse it and fix what's broken, and if necessary, try and get upstream fixed. Also, I'm not opposed to telemetry in general, but if a switch like this is turned on by de

I'd have chosen JVM for safety, ease of deployment, stability and performance, and Java for maturity of the toolchain (fully aware that required memory would be a concern). With that in mind, can you pitch Zig to me?

by groestl 4y ago
Well, choice of language carries _a lot_ of implicit information for which you'd need many more words.

> while you can catch these kind of errors in C Tbh C would have never crossed my mind as an alternative for Rust in this case. I guess that says something.

by groestl 4y ago
Safety yes, but stability? It's crash early model wrt stack overflows and out-of-memory errors seems to trade off availability for safety. Not proficient in Rust as a user nor as a developer, so an honest question.

Even though I used a generic you, I didn't make assumptions about your person, only gave feedback on that communication style, which would raise a red flag even in my non-z generation. The rest of your post... I honestly don't kno

> Perhaps the difference is that we all now exist as though on the public stage Ah yeah, true! So basically now we're kind of forced into reading everything, even when it's private, as some kind of press release.

If you don't want to text, send wrong cues when you do, and want to move quickly to meet in person, hell yeah this will look suspicious. Millenial here.

When a lot of your life happens online, and communication channels dedicate a lot more bandwidth to convey feelings, it's no surprise you can also hurt people when you send certain cues. And it's okay to feel insecure if someone m

Actually, thinking of it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_the_goalposts is more fitting (since No true Scotsman is about redefining irrelevant criteria).

Please forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand (probably because of my lack of knowledge wrt Chekhov and Dostoevsky), yet I want to. At the risk of giving away the joke, could you explain your point to me?

What helps me: write down a list of all the things going on, preferably pen on paper.. Allow yourself to do turn on the lights again and write additional stuff on it... Repeat until there's nothing more to write down.
