I asked for analysis and source assessment, none of which is part of a formal mathematical proof.

I don't get why people keep linking this page. How can you "understand" anything from a page which provides no analysis and presents numbers with no caveats? How can I trust that these charts aren't cherry picked?

I think this article ends up giving excellent examples for why you shouldn't just "write simply". There is basically no argumentation happening here and most statements are just thrown out as truths. Yes, it might be quick

Anonymity is the first “key characteristic” listed and I can’t find any mention on this page that it is optional for this method. EDIT: Looking more into it, it seems that it went from "Delph method" to "Wideband delphi"

I'm guessing it's a good metric here because most of their tasks are small tasks that only takes a few hours to complete (in code) and then the average Cycle Time becomes the average overhead for getting a fix into production.

The gist of this article is good. Fixing the code is often the smallest part of rolling out a bug fix. That's extremely important to be aware of. Using historical data can be a great way of seeing how fast you can actually roll out c

Alternatively you can study physics and then you don't need to worry about these tiny details. I took a course on "mathematical methods in physics" which covered some complex analysis, and my math friends where shocked at how

Very neat trick! My first reaction was that this must be related to to the Laplace transform, and looking through the Wikipedia article seems that this is basically the same trick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_

I have no idea why you're getting downvoted into oblivion. These all sounds like excellent ideas. Can someone elaborate what's so controversial in this comment?

But it has some kind of direct replacement mode, why aren't there benchmarks for that? Crickets... That's not fair. They've published a paper which has lots of details: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.0442

Mac never stopped shipping Bash. What they did was to no longer use it as the default interactive shell. Zsh is now the new default shell. As far as I know, Mac has never shipped with Fish.

I think the term "more open" is a bit too vague in this discussion. Sometimes people use it to refer to permissiveness (e.g. BSD) and sometimes people use it to refer to stimulating further open source work (e.g. GPL). (And if we&

While I think it's important to fight against the "FE is easy; BE is real programming" stigma, I think you're going bit too much in the other direction. You're painting FE almost as the most difficult thing that exi

That makes sense. Thanks for answering all of my critical questions. Looks like a very nice piece of technology you’re building!

You're able to serve all your clients from a single control process? And this would probably work for quite a while? Then I struggle to see why you couldn't just use SQLite. On startup read the full database into memory. Serve

How is PostgreSQL (or MySQL) "considerably less scalable" exactly? etcd isn't particularly known for being scalable or performant. I'm sure it's fast enough for your use-case (since you've benchmarked it), but

Interesting choice of technology, but you didn't completely convince me to why this is better than just using SQLite or PostgreSQL with a lagging replica. (You could probably start with either one and easily migrate to the other one if
