   Maybe a dumb question - but what are you passionate about? What do you find fun and rewarding? I genuinely enjoy building software. For the first ~10 years as a software developer I was genuinely surprised I was getting paid.

   I don't understand why as a developer I'd want to use LinkedIn. I have StackOverflow and GitHub which a lot of relevant leads come from. When I buy a used car - I don't publish a "I'm looking for a used car" po

   This smells of a marketing article shoved to the homepage. I'm not a fan of the trend I'm seeing of articles with little technical merit suddenly making it on the homepage next to legitimate technology pieces. I'm not sure wh

   That's how I use Python for the last few years. My scripts end up longer and more verbose typically (I might just not be great at Python) but also a lot more maintainable (I am not great at writing maintainable Perl and I use Python mo

   Hi, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to look for JIRAs at but we discussed this with Mongo Atlas via several support tickets and channels. For example at #00636235 "how to avoid TransientTransactionError".

   I have found people to attack me when I make a technical criticism of technologies they like. Am I expected to justify being able to code in HN? I could go on about being a maintainer of the two most promise libraries in npm (bluebird and Q

   Yes, several times - we pay Mongo Atlas over $5000 per month. We reported it immediately at the highest severity and we pay for the highest tier or support - we tried to collaborate as soon as possible. It sort of went "over their head

   That is correct and what I meant. Thanks, and there doesn't have to be a `try/catch` because it is possible to "fork" control with promises. They implemented a "disposer" incorrectly (I added this to several ot

   We have a complicated system and migration is ~3 months we won't be shipping features. We have a roadmap we need to meet and so far we have been trying to spill money on it rather than developers (paying mongo atlas) and adding feature

    Correct, the easy workaround is not to use that transaction API and write your own disposer instead of using withTransaction.

    If you have code that looks like this: withTransaction(async session => { await Promise.all([someOp(sesson), someOtherOp(session)]); }); Mongo may retry running it (calling the function again) if a "Tra

    Just adding that I have used elasticsearch for a use case under the above constraints several times in the past and it worked well. Ironically once because mongo was such a pain to work with I dumped the data from it into ES to get the bett

    Not saying you're wrong. As an anecdotal data point - we've read the docs (carefully) and spoke to MongoDB quite a bit when implementing transactions including their highest paid levels of support and still ran into this issue: &g

    I also want to point their Node.js transactions API is wrong and looks like they have no idea how promises or async code work in JS. In mongo, you have a `withTransaction(fn)` helper that passes a session parameter. Mongo can call this func

    The article is quite good but the Node.js example is wrong. OP is measuring dead code elimination and general overhead time. No strings get harmed in the process, run Node.js with --trace-opt to see what's happening.

    Hey probably email the guys at tipranks (support@tipranks.com) with this. They have a tool that takes returns and back tests then and finds correlations they run on hedge funds and can probably find patterns quickly.

    However if yo write a framework write a framework. Don't cripple the community by doing the IoC part and the framework calls you but create a fragmented ecosystem of a million ways to do state, routing and so on. Looking at you React.

    We have lots of Soviet teachers in Israel, they always said "it's better to solve something in 15 ways than solve 15 things the same way" and that resonated. To be fair though, that approach is omnipresent in the math faculty
