It would indeed be insanity to argue that, which is why I didn’t. The argument for splitting into micro services is generally that particular teams would own particular services and therefore make debugging/change easier for them, at t

It's easy to sit back and say that, but I can almost guarantee that if you actually follow this up with a set of opinions about what stack / architecture / approach is easiest to debug and change, you will find yourself back

If you have a truly modularized monolith, you can have a directed graph of dependent libraries, the leaves of which are different services that can start up. You can individually deploy leaf services and only their dependent code will go ou

There is a progression though. For students, the objective is to write what to an adult would be mediocre essays, because they are on a path to writing adult level essays. The AI can write mediocre essays, but not adult level essays. Assumi

Whenever I hear these totalizing opinions I do some searching. The NYT has published an imperial ton of articles on class in the last several years. About the effects on income inequality, on how wealth inequality is now at its highest si

This is how reporting works. I know Business Insider and believe it is pretty above board. Business Insider is basically citing CNBC, which is pretty above board. These are two of the shrinking list of organizations that actually practic

My take is that the person screen-shotted a pretty carefully chosen part of the actual article. The actual article contextualizes the event as "Elon Musk planned to begin laying off workers at Twitter as soon as Saturday, four people w

Hmm, not really, I was more giving the GP the benefit of the doubt that they have some, so maybe they'll chime in. I think they were focusing on the fact that idempotent systems often need to interact with other systems that are not

by lemmsjid 4y ago
Agreed, though I think the GP was looking for a situation you can't refactor into becoming idempotent. Increments and decrements like traditional semaphores are definitely not idempotent, but couldn't you make an idempotent semap

Not everything can be idempotent, nor immutable, nor stateless. But if you adopt the core assumption that you will achieve those states in the places where they can be achieved (and attempt to make them easily achievable with patterns that

You have to admit there is a very significant difference between going online and saying manga sucks and participating in an organized and targeted harassment of a particular person. I know why you are making that analogy: you are seeking t

Even if alternate energy sources were in equal footing with fossil fuels it would still be worth it to pursue them because of diversification. Fossil fuel extraction has been a driving force behind geopolitics for the last century. While t

To your first point, what is interesting, and often frustrating, is exactly what you’re saying: people resisting change now did not learn from people then. Quite the opposite. The point is that people often defend their status quo ignorant

Well… me for one? We were limiting the Covid exposure of my daughter’s grandparents as much as possible and the school’s masking policy helped limit that exposure vector. And another, the teachers and staff, who we care about greatly. I do

While I find Fox News odious politically, at least the news desks at Fox News and the New York Times are dedicated to factual reporting, even if bias can be found in choice of story or omission. At least both are dedicated to public discour

That may be true of some people, but what we’re seeing right now is people’s trust swinging to media vehicles and political leaders that have done nothing to earn trust aside from charismatically asserting that they are more trustworthy.

I’m trying to write a helpful reply instead of downvoting. If you use those kind of criteria to determine someone’s knowledge, you’re going to come across as dogmatic, reductionist, etc. I doubt you are really that way, but it’s how it come

I would be very interested to hear viewpoints from the supposed 'Google' programmers on his team. The fact that he didn't gather feedback from the team makes the whole thing rather suspect.

"AI" is the tag used in OpenAI's chatbot, not the technology. Hmm I wasn't making claims. I was interested in how the OpenAI's gpt-3 bot would do on a GRE question. Its a good question because it takes things out o

There are indeed. Basically if you take certain antibiotics you're rolling the dice, because they kill off a bunch of your gut bacteria, and when the populations recover you might end up with toxic strains dominant which is an acute i

While I didn't downvote the above, I don't think downvoters are proving the GP's point, so much as disagreeing with the GP's assertion that there's some agenda behind it all (e.g. 'pro-Pentagon', whatever

The article contextualizes itself at the beginning. A large number of people believe the effect of the lockdowns on children was not a normal distribution but was skewed negative. So a normal distribution is news. This does not discount yo
