I don't think this is 100% true. Some wild meat is too lean. The other name for "protein poisoning" is "rabbit starvation." Wiki makes 2 separately sourced references that eating nothing is better than only eating r

Inuits, and possibly others, also consumed predigested vegetation in animal stomachs (1) Also, worth noting that a meat-heavy diet can also kill you from lack of fat. This is known as protein poisoning. This obviously depends on what your s

That's exactly what I was saying. Thank you. I think I'd agree that it's the fastest growing market. And maybe the one with the highest profit margins though.

I'm not sure if you're up for not being dismissive, but I'd honestly like to be corrected if I'm wrong. When I think of this I first think of Digital Realty Trust (DLR), Global Switch, China Telecom, AT&T, Equinix, N

I didn't mean to imply that it got worse for existing customers. But I feel like by killing the Softlayer brand (softlayer.com is just a landing page where everything redirect to IBM cloud) and making "cloud" the focus, they&

Am I the only one that thinks IBM's acquisition of Softlayer did more to help Amazon than it did to help IBM? (or, more specifically, their mishandling of the acquisition) Cloud isn't the big market, traditional hosting is. But cl

I don't think you're wrong, but if you believe (like I do) that tests are a time saver, even in the short term, once you have good tests, typing doesn't save 38% anymore..it saves, maybe 1%. I'll add that, in my experien

Whenever I hear someone promote static typing for the type of thing you'd use JavaScript for, my first thought is: they aren't testing [properly]. I think static typing unquestionably helps if you have a young and undisciplined te

Well, they thought Go would be an alternative to C++ (1) which has never really been the most popular website backend language. I'm glad it's working out for you, but I don't think it's a stretch to say it wasn't re

I guess they're busy now trying to fix things, but since they didn't mention how to avoid this in the future, I feel like streaming replication [to much cheaper spinning disk] or some other form of point in time recovery is the wa

I wonder what their dedicated hosting bill would have looked like compared to both cloud and colo. My guess is that it would have been a tiny fraction of their cloud bill, and their downtime would have been a smal fraction of the colo downt

Tests are first and foremost about design. If it's hard to test, there might be too much coupling. Some code, by it's very nature, is hard to decouple. Just like some code, by it's very nature, has to mutate state. But having

Personally, I would feel bad making such a negative characterization based on something I seem to recall. I'd look it up. If I was right, I'd provide the source, if I was wrong I'd be silently embarrassed.

He's saying to prefer the whole food (the "source") over the raw oil. Doesn't seem that wrong. Also, this health guide lists sunflower and "cheap" canola as examples of good unsaturated fats.

Carmack has been consistent for a long time that state changes are a major source of bugs. It's true that video games might be more susceptible to this. I think all things considered, readability should generally take a back seat to co

I think you're missing his point; you're on two sides of the same coin. Your both saying "it depends", but he's taking the difficult route and highlighting the benefits of the non-dogmatic approach. I think why you

I just googled "elixir property testing site:news.ycombinator.com" and the first hit was what I wanted. But it's the 3rd result in Algolia, behind stories that are both older and with fewer votes.

This is silly. The economy has been booming for a while now and technology is more advanced that it's ever been. The situation is accelerating the wrong way. More of the same won't help. Plant trees and revive massive amount of la

There are differences beyond syntax. Macros, utf8, variable rebinding, string interpolation and probably more. Also tooling is quite different. Obvious bias, but I feel that these Elixir additions are going to be welcomed / expected by

If you're doing it locally, you'd ideally use RAID with a battery backed unit and your fsync essentially end up going to memory.

Picking sharding specifically is weird given the many problem spaces where it won't work. Also, whatever unnecessary scaling solution you come up with today for the problems you have today is not likely to be applicable to the problems
