Consumers will have to read all events that concern them, yes. Maybe this type of event must end up in multiple partitions and will require some architectural shenanigans.

General YAML anchors as implemented by the standard: good (not great, just good). Custom YAML anchors with custom support and surprise corner cases: bad.

I learnt that all those emails were sent through some relay. I blacklisted the relay. And then, some real training email notifications were sent through the same relay. But that relay is used for phising, so I just refuse to open the traini

Good that they fixed the module obsession. And it would be better if they also fixed the other part of the problem.

You know, you went direct for the "bait" case, while ignoring all the others. Progressive enhancement is often done to mask the fact that fetching the data takes an unacceptable amount of time, otherwise no effort would be done to

So a backend-focused team that minimizes frontend is going to start fiddling with the DOM and shipping web components. Sure, tell me more. I always enjoy a cool story.

The problem with nuclear is not the ultra-low probability of incidents, but the potential size of the incidents. And then you have bad faith actors. No one would ever put graphite tips in the control rods to save some money, wouldn't t

3rd world country developers routinely earn more than that. A shitty junior developer in Ecuador easily pulls 700-800 per month. If they are any competent, they can double that in an outsourcing consultancy.

Yup, that should be recorded and shown in Netflix. Pure entertainment. Now put all these actors in the same room with a bomb, tell them to agree on the situation of the taxes or the bomb explodes, and you have one hell of a drama.

Gravity storage is cool when nature has already made most of the work, I/E pumped hydro where nature has already built this huge canyon with a river in the middle just waiting for someone to put a dam at the end.

Every time I see again the idea of moving big concrete blocks for storing energy, I remember the time I made the calculations, and estimated around USD100K of infrastructure to store the same amount of energy as a nissan leaf.
