If you take this view, any tax on current state is like a "cancer tax" - you're just doubly punishing the person. Sugar tax, coal tax, corn syrup tax, worked-your-employees-90h/week tax? Sure.

I guess this depends on what you define as "advanced". Many languages still struggle with dependent types and these date back even to the 80s, but I would not say they are "advancing computer science." I agree with the o

While there's been impressive practical advances recently, the theory dates back to the mid-90s.

Spiritualism is a specific movement which all major branches of Christianity and most other major world religions reject.

With an open source solution, I bet we can improve that, maybe even doubling it to 20 to 1.

Assuming you mean strictly in the hiring/legal sense, it is absolutely not.

I tried to check but 99% of our clients rotate host keys whenever they restart the container or the LB sends you to a different node or whatever. And if you email them to verify they take 3 weeks to respond, which is 20 daily reports they n

Kafka for consistency/durability and local storage for speed/structure is a common architecture, and a really good one any time you can tolerate async writes.

by morelisp 3y ago
But why take on the operational overhead of a separate DB server (not to mention 200 more microseconds), plus the EC2 surcharge? I would rather run app+SQLite + dumb object storage, than app + MySQL + MySQL incremental backup and restore.

At least one SV luminary founded his empire on the idea you could "become an expert" on any topic in four weeks and shift between them constantly. Even after explaining the grift his star is still fairly bright.

Yes but it was more or less a term of art used only in advertiser/publisher relations. Consumers didn't use it; creators certainly not. (Neither did these groups self-describe as "consumers" or "creators", ugh.

Yeah, sure, spare a tear for all the kids who accidentally ended up at Harvard.

I think you can get a better formal CS education than Harvard for a fraction of the price at two dozen places, probably including at least one state school you have access to. Harvard is good for signalling, traditional liberal arts, and pr

You're still not getting it. Taking the course is not a negative signal. Putting the course on your resume , as if that conveys useful information, is.

Narrative causality does work that way; a later-made prequel can ruin a story element that was fine in an earlier-made sequel. This is infohazards 101.

In Go, `expensivetocopyvalue` can still be achieved via an enormous (e.g. multi-KB/MB) structure (which is most literally expensive to copy) or something containing a lot of pointers (which is not really expensive to copy but will star
