What absolute value does? Percentages are a very weird way to look at it when people are starving. (also, tax them more)

What is a yacht but frivolous consumption? A supercar? A private jet? Designer clothes? The list goes on for miles.

I helped a company that is build averse move off of Fivetran to Debezium and some of their own internal tooling for the same workload they are paying 40k less a month (yeah they just raised their prices again). Now, that's not exactly

Well, that's a very interesting and aggressive take about me holding up a mirror to your own neurosis, I recommend therapy.

Pretty sure SQL Server won't acknowledge a write until its in the WAL (you can go the opposite way and turn on delayed durability though.)

Right, so people who would use their trauma to prevent themselves from thinking logically about the problem and helping those in the middle instead of some arbitrary line your mind made up?

If we compare the traffic of Github vs Bitcoin, Github is likely doing 1,000+ writes per second and Bitcoin is doing what, 5-7 maybe higher with specialized stuff? Github is nowhere near the world's "central and only" service

Am I misinterpreting you or are you saying Bitcoin would make a better, faster, cheaper Git? If you are, I am already laughing.

Disagree - the timelines are completely reasonable for an actual software project, and that's what the training data is based on, not projects written with LLMs.

I'd agree with that - two phase commit has a bunch of nasty failure cases as well, so there's no free lunch no matter what you do when you go distributed. So just ... don't, unless you really really have to.

With a comfortable spread out my hands are 9.5 inches from pinky to thumb, a thirteen inch laptop is so painfully small I can barely use it.

hash your thing you want to do and see if you did it recently or in order by hashing each thing you wanted to do in order to get a new hash of all the things you did in the order you did it in one value.

If you need "transactions" with microservices the traditional answer is sagas - eg multiple transaction boundaries that dont fully commit until their entire set of things is complete by passing a message or event to the next syste

There's very few people whose brains work like this, it requires constant maintenance and people are ready to fall into the trap easily because they are held accountable for the outcomes, and its easy to pretend your ideas would have s

Yes, the word is give, as in "we are all giving our time away listening to this dumbass" - nothing about pointing my ears in a different direction is taking away anyone's ability to speak.

Then it sounds like you need to train them and also pay them better. Most people just want to stay at one company and not do the grind, but the lack of raises, poor treatment, and much better pay other places is blaming juniors for your com

Nothing the GP said had anything to do with taking away people's voice because they are rich, they are saying just because they are rich they don't automatically deserve a microphone. HN seems very ready to defend the rich and pow

This is interesting, and I guess for portability not having a calendar table makes sense, but imo a calendar table and a numbers table are great additions and making yours arbitrarily complex for your use case makes a lot of this type of st

The same things? You mean effectively making money laundering legal, crashing the government and starving the poor, ending health care benefits, stealing directly from the coffers, pardoning sex pests and criminals as they continue to commi

Plenty of people complained and wanted all government overreach to stop - this is an even more dire situation, propped up by people who directly lied and said they were not interested in this (which they obviously are, and they are liars.)

Seen house building regulations recently? Most countries will let the home owner do things they'd never let a contractor do without a permit. There's a lot of different laws for home or very small scale selling of various goods, b

Say we pay them 1 million dollars instead of (googled) 25 million dollars. If we increase the compensation by another 60 thousand dollars a year that gives us room for 400 additional mechanics. The stock price of Ford might even go up if y

And how does it follow that microsoft is the good guy in a future where we did it with some other operating system? You could argue that their system was so terrible that its displacement of other options harmed us all with the same level o

This made me laugh, I assume you are calling me an old fogey and I will be glad to take it. This is why they don't let me near the marketing stuff.
