For someone who "float" types, that's an impressive speed. I tried out the typing website that 's mentioned on the post, and it reminds me/makes me realise the potential flaw in these types of typing tests. After t

What about instances where cancelling loses all the data that you've been typing in a form? Should it not have a red colour as a form of warning?

Share prices fluctuate, and IPOs are notorious for over-subscriptions by the banks/underwriters because their fees are often percentage based. I don't know why it would be news that price dips below IPO. If the stock plummets over

I did this recently, where I compared going through FFI from Java to Rust, vs through gRPC. gRPC wasn't that much slower than FFI, and its benefit would be that I could have 2 services in the network. FFI had overhead, but its performa

Stephen mentions that his mouse is on the left because he's left-handed. I'm left-handed, and I don't think I've ever seen someone put the mouse on the left. How much difference would it make to accuracy, or does the ot

Good timing! I have a private Gitlab instance, but yesterday I was wondering whether to go for a paid GH account so I can host a private repo there. I intend on sharing the code when ready, but wanted issues history to be on GH without need

If they're looking for a mature solution, Kafka would be more in that line. Plus beyond pubsub, Kafka is well supported as a streaming data source in the Hadoop-esque world

I agree with your view on the overstatement. It wasn't a win, but a slight advantage. Chess championships sometimes draw the same criticism as boxing, players strategise to win on technicalities and small margins, instead of taking ris

Well, their ELOs are just about the same, so I agree with the spirit of your viewpoint. I'd argue that he's better because he has mastered more than just one format. If we have a tie in one category, and one of the players has a s

I was disappointed in Carlsen's 12th game draw. He might have etched something out of the game, as computers were clearly saying he had some slight advantage. After seeing the first games from today, I eased down on my disappointment.

Interesting points! I haven't used Spark in a while until I recently got back into it. I think data engineers 'should' add Spark to their toolset, even if just for ETL. I found myself having to go through a few hundred CSV fi

Or; the way that Spark writes files is to save the file in a folder, and break it up into multiple partitions (if the data is large). The way "normal" (non-HDFS) tools write data is by creating a file with an extension. Let's

As someone who has a fairly large codebase that's been largely untouched for 3-4 years, I'd disagree. Nothing has stopped me from updating some ancient dependencies. Perhaps we should make a difference between Node and semver-majo

There's no mention of whether applications will gracefully degrade if there's no threads support. What happens in that case? Or should developers have to check whether threads are enabled?

No. If you take MongoDB and offer it as SaaS, the additional software that's part of your offering, such as monitoring, backup solutions, etc, have to be open-sourced, or you have to make their code available (since the chair of OSI de

I've had lots of fun using Mongo with Spark, I have found it pleasant, though most Spark libraries are good to use, including the JDBC ones. I haven't had much luck with the kind of viz where you don't first do ETL from Mongo
