The thing that has kept me tied to React is the support for native mobile and desktop development. Expo has been a really nice environment for mobile development compared to some other things I have used in the past. EAS is also pretty hand

I am not saying you are doing <X> wrong, but I am always amazed how many mangers want to do Agile, and at the same time don't understand that means not doing waterfall. They are completely different methodologies. https:/&#

It's sort of the opposite, a worn chain will wear on your cassette. Using a chain checker, or a ruler, you can measure how worn your chain is. If you replace the chain too late, the new chain will not mesh with the cassette, and it wil

There is a good interview on YouTube with Jared Mauch. I think it may have already been posted on Hacker News previously, but I have included the link below for anyone interested. https://youtu.be/ASXJgvy3mEg

Cassandra was just an example, but most databases can be scaled either vertically or horizontally via sharding. You are right if misconfigured performance can be hindered, but this is also true for a database which is being scaled verticall

Just FYI, you can have one big database, without running it on one big server. As an example, databases like Cassandra are designed to be scaled horizontally (i.e. scale out, instead of scale up). https://cassandra.apache.org&#x2

It's all JavaScript, so language is probably not the right word to use. Runtime is correct, but both technically sit on top of V8. Although Node leverages C++ on the backend, and Deno leverages Rust.

I imagine you are already aware, but the creator of Node, Ryan Dahl, is also the creator for Deno. He is trying to create a new language which integrates what he learned from building Node.

Scaling databases vertically, like Oracle DB, in the past was the norm. It is possible to serve a large number of users, and data, from a single instance. There are some things worth considering though. First of all, no matter how reliable

I think it is worth mentioning this article isn't labeling everyone as a conspiracy theorist. "When we talk about grand conspiracy theories, we mean the claim that there exists a secret plot between a large number of powerful peop

I should have said 'trivial for most people'. I am not referring to people who can't wear masks in public spaces for legitimate reasons.

Part of me has difficulties understanding why wearing a mask has had so much backlash. It is a trivial thing to do, and something people in many countries were already doing pre pandemic. My experience has been that many people who are not

For anyone interested in e-bikes, that has a do it yourself attitude, I recommend looking at Grin Technologies in Vancouver. I met someone who built their own e-bike this summer while out riding, and he suggested them to me. The founder has

Expecting the user to have a browser that supports a recent version of TLS is not unreasonable. My point was that even browsers older then most people imagine support HTTPS, but like you said something newer then Netscape would be required.

by markandrewj 5y ago
What old clients exactly? HTTPS is a long supported standard. HTTPS was introduced by Netscape in 1994.

Normally benchmarks for things like this are measured in how many concurrent requests can be handled, i.e the C10K problem, not by how many requests you are able to serve in a day. It's also well known that you can serve a large amount
