This is correct and addressed with diversification. Is money is spread across multiple safe instruments your chances to get in trouble is minimal. If you do get in trouble then your exposure is small too.

Imagine you do it with PG - add a column “money”, put some numbers into it and issue a ToS guaranteeing money in your db 1-to-1 exchange to USD. Because now you store money amount in your db and can manipulate them at will you have to be a

Blockchain guarantees there is no double spend while not having one controlling entity. Legal requirements are there to do exactly the same thing - not let managers mess with other people money.

During STW GC has to walk all the heap. Checking 50% of live objects tell you nothing about possibility of using memory at address X. Only after checking all objects you know that X is not occupied.

Agree with others saying HN needs more content like this! After reading I don’t get how locks held in memory affect WAL shipping. WAL reader reads it in a single thread, updates in-memory data structures periodically dumping them on disk. P

I don’t think L7 can do 40 hours of L4 work in 10 hours. In my experience L7 can do things L4 cannot do in principle, no matter how much time they have. This makes their time more valuable.

So I’m not good enough for you to share your ideas, did I get it right? You realize this is not how people reach consensus? If you cannot give me a compelling argument what makes you think jews and arabs would be happy with your ideas?

There is no conclusion on my part. There is an ask for reasonable ideas how to untangle the mess between jews and palestinians.

I’m asking for realistic ideas how to deal jews and palestinians occupying same land, hating each other and having no where to go from that land.

Agree, but my point is in the question how to untangle the mess we have today.

There is a lot more - Aurora to handle our spiky workload (can grow 100x from normal levels at times) - Zero-ETL into RedShift. - Slow query monitoring, not just metrics but actual query source. - Snapshots to move production data into sta

Hefty bill is for things like RDS, IAM, Systems Manager and all other tools they have. Rebuilding and supporting these is a non-trivial exercise.

Last time I checked history books said Britain donated land to Jews. At the time Britain took house land there were no state and no nation called Palestinians, just tribes. Since then Palestinians formed as a nation. So what do you want Isr

Quite a few, to be honest. USA debt to GDP ratio is high but not catastrophically high.

Thanks for the great article, this is much needed to understand how to properly use LLM at scale. You mentioned that LLM should never touch tests. Then followed up with an example refactoring changing 500+ endpoints completed in 4 hours. Th

Writing code that would not fragment memory over time is arguable much harder than writing GC friendly code.

I don’t understand how this can work. Given probabilistic nature of LLMs the more steps you have more chances something goes off. What is good in the dashboard if you cannot be sure it was not partially hallucinated?

But doesn’t it also waste a few seconds of your time here and there when it fails to autocomplete and writes bad code you have to understand and fix?

In Raft state space is split into partitions. Each partition gets it leader. For example in a cluster of 3 nodes and 65536 partitions each node is a leader for 1/3 of partitions with two others acting as replicas. This way each node si

Author ditched Raft because it can only have one leader. But Raft has many leaders, one per partition. After reading the article I’m not sure author knows what they are doing.

You describe new ways of feeding information into the model and new ways model presents outputs. Nothing radically changed in how model transforms inputs into outputs.

Typical Delphi or VB app didn’t have model, instead it read database and put everything into controls (aka data binding). The it kept logic in event handlers. This code is a) hard to read and understand because logic is dispersed across eve

Common Lisp has retries in addition to exceptions. Retry works almost the same way as exception except it allows exception handler to restart execution from the place it happened. I wish we have this in modern widespread languages.

This approach is simple but does not scale. People did this long time ago, perhaps starting with SmallTalk in 80’s and VB/Delphi in 90’s. You need separation between components and data. For example you got a list of 1000 objects, each
