8MB is just the default, you can switch it back to 4GB if you want, but you won't have an easy time switching to 4.0 due to the 8MB limit imposed by FoundationDB.

The main reason most people use CouchDB is because of the HTTP API and offline support with Couchbase Mobile and PouchDB. Doesn't CouchDB have most of those things already from 2.3?

Haha, yes, exactly. I omitted the most important part - the [HTTP-based API].

Cloudant is awesome, but it's way too expensive IMHO.

I mean your CouchDB instance itself is represented by a host and port and your application's data could be stored there and a native HTTP-based API to access said data . This is contrasted to most where you would need a driver and it&

One interesting thing you can do with CouchDB is that you can have a webapp where a user can specify their own database and credentials and it works over HTTP(s). That's pretty unique. I'd love to see a SaaS using CouchDB and thei

I was talking to a layperson about encryption and privacy and they were very much against both interestingly. They compared encryption to wearing a mask in public and said if people don't want to be noticed (w.r.t privacy and encryptio

Semantic-UI is a perfect example of the atrophy that I fear with combined CSS and JS frameworks. I'm pretty bullish on utility-CSS (I prefer tachyons since it's much simpler than tailwind). I don't think frameworks should nec

The TailwindUI components have their own license.

The problem with this IMO is that some enterprising person will just use regular tailwind (or another utility-css framework like tachyons) and re-implement all of these components and give it out for free, circumventing the license and kill

Their point is probably that Airbnb did not execute anything particularly well and its usefulness is because of scale, not in spite of it. The contrasting example would be Google, where even before it was popular was superior because of b

You might be right, but that type of behavior isn’t unique to a authoritarian government.

I'm not sure I agree with this article - there is plenty of evidence to suggest that China knew about C19 well ahead of the media, but choose to ignore it to save face and/or not create panic.

ISAs are a good idea, but there's no way you can start a hyper-profitable business around it. It's literally a ponzi scheme under those circumstances as the total amount of students "pending" will always exceed those w

I think the best hiring process is the following: 1. Open source your entire codebase 2. Each user story, commit for feature, etc is tagged 3. Pending features are correlated to (2). Finally, no interview or references. Simply hire people w

It's not just Wayfair - if and when there is a recession there's going to be a complete annihilation of most of these overvalued, unprofitable companies. Most of this behavior is only possible because of dirt cheap money.

What does "controlled by government agencies" mean?

You can't say definitely that American companies are or are not controlled by government agencies.

I wonder how Uber would do if the 2008 financial crisis were to repeat in say, 2022. Tech companies in particular are in for a surprise if a recession of that magnitude happens again.

Housing is the perfect example to illustrate the flaws of how democracy is put into practice in many (but not all) Western societies. There are at least two big issues: 1. Those who have housing are less transient and as a result have (incr

This wouldn't work as there is a time requirement of 20 minutes. A solution to this would have to be real-time and not require one to manually log their presence, which would defeat the whole point.
