Microsoft ruined Minecraft by permanently locking a ton of existing users out of their accounts.

I liked the simplicity of 1.7.3 beta, but the addition of hunger made pvp more interesting. Enchantments also made XP farming a thing, which brought in creativity. Mobs got needed buffs so caving was actually a challenge. Overall I liked mo

Surviving in the game isn't challenging, and while the game was getting popular early-on (say around beta 1.3), there weren't many optional challenges either. The most dangerous monster was a spider, you didn't need food, and

The website I linked wasn't the creator of the show. Modern Berbers are post Arab Conquests, so I wouldn't expect them to look similar to ancient Mauri.

I'm fine, will survive without a few TV shows.

Moor is accurate here because Macrinus was born in Mauretania. No relation to the much later "Moors" of Muslim North Africa, or to the modern nation of Mauritania. I don't know what the Mauri looked like, but probably not lik

I disliked the ATLA movie before even seeing it because most of the characters didn't look like the original. This isn't some moral stance, there is simply such a thing as bad casting in a live adaptation. The movie sucked for ple

"TV/film studios produce content in ways they think will make the most money" isn't always true. Sometimes a movie really has a purpose. And when it doesn't, it's a very inexact business (unless maybe it's

I get equally annoyed about intentionally portraying Jesus, ancient Italians, etc as English people as I do about making Cleopatra black. Especially if it's a movie about multiple different peoples, like Romans invading Egypt.

Yeah but it also says "Macrinus was a Moor by birth."

It's so rare that anyone has an American accent in any American movie set in a non-English-speaking country. Usually they're either British or idk, some fake Spanish-like accent.

This reminds me of the scene in Toy Story where Buzz Lightyear starts speaking Spanish instead of English. There are two official Spanish dialect dubs of the movie, where he speaks the same language but has a different accent. https:/

Ok, you could also have multiple synchronous Postgres standbies in a quorum setup so that it's tolerable to lose one. Supposedly Amazon Aurora does that. Comes with costs and downsides too.

Yeah, Rust is fast, or you can go the other extreme with Python if you can put the heavy lifting on native modules.

For a cloud customer, the networking side might be as simple as "run a few replicas in different regions, and let the load balancer deal with it." Or only different AZs. The database problem is much harder to sign away as someone

You're building a ??? system. Either CP or AP depending on what random values got put into some config.

The only concrete solution the article proposes that I can think of: Spanner uses quorum to maintain availability and consistency. Your "master" is TrueTime, which is considered reliable enough. You have replicated app backends. I

Could a partition just be the machine hosting one of your DBs going down? When it comes back up, it still has its data, but it's missed out on what happened in the meantime.

by hot_gril 2y ago
You mean CLAP? Latency and availability are basically the same thing. CAP is simple.

by hot_gril 2y ago
I can think of a lot of cloud systems that have C. Businesses will rely on a single machine running a big Oracle DB. Microservice architectures will be eventually consistent as a whole, but individual services will again have a single DB on

Lightning cable. Gotta mess with it until the iPhone charges. I'm not replacing it until it's tied into a blackwall hitch and still isn't charging.

Every time someone tries to deprecate the nice and simple CAP theorem, it grows stronger. It's an unstoppable freight train at this point, like the concept of relational DBs after the NoSQL fad.

Very eventually consistent. Like, humans involved sometimes.

"Bolted on" is how I'd describe it too. Using TS means messing a lot more with random config files. And standard tools like the NodeJS profiler don't work with TS, which hopefully will change soon. I've never used D

The type system is a big part of what made Java cumbersome. It's loosened up a little over the years. TS itself may allow partial typing, but when team/company policies are involved, you'll often end up being forced to type e

It's good for things that don't involve ripping through terabytes of data, which is actually a lot of things. And idk if I'd use Java for that either.

Providing support in pytorch sounds obvious, but I have very little experience here. Why is this still a problem?
