This irks me. I've also had to go through the horror that is using a mac after a life of using 'regular' pc's. To me it feels like a totally arbitrary change, to switch the alt to the left, and put a different button (wh

I think you are right, except that the article reads as if they were using a loadbalancer that wasn't in their control (a third-party service). If you can't control your loadbalancer to not pass requests when you're overloade

I agree. The whole breakdown of this article is this: - Celebrities used wrong pictures in combination with amazon forest fires - Amazon is not the lungs of the earth because Dan Nepstad (who is he?) says so (even tho you would find it hard

yes it is, dark patterns refer to user-design decissions that arguably exploit human-weaknesses. In this case human-attention span (not noticing that you have to disable this option), lazyness(it costs effor to opt-out) and human confidence

I was thinking the same thing. The ability to handle partition failure comes from having more nodes. This proves this is not possible when haviing just two nodes. Kind of makes sense as it stops being a distributed system if you disconnect
