What I'm advocating for is not to cache in RAM but as a file in something like S3. Build the full HTML page for a time period and store it as a blob, serve it to the user and have JS take over on the front end. You can use local storag

Nah definitely not confused about the architecture, it's fairly simple to wrap your head around. What I'm advocating for is making the general site semi-dynamic instead of fully dynamic. (Break expensive caches at regular predefin

If I were to design reddit I would have enforced the following rule to handle their scaling problems. You cannot touch the database when you are reading the homepage. Instead every minute we generate the canonical list of ~500 links that is

Is this a new discovery? A few years ago I remember seeing water droplets navigating a maze in a youtube video but I don't know if they went into enough detail about how the mechanism worked.

Based on the largest study currently available[0], there does not seem to be any evidence supporting a vegan or vegetarian diet having any protective effect on all cause mortality. There's a lot of pseudoscience in the health and welln

The pharmacist likely has a contract with the PBM that bars them from discussing cash prices with people who are covered by insurance. If the PBM finds out the pharmacy is circumventing them, they can void their contract which will likely p

While both handle two factor authentication, Authy only assists with time based one time passwords (TOTP) which still leaves the end user open to phishing. These security keys are meant to be used with universal second factor (U2F) which pr

My argument holds for gold as well. Do some research on ROI for gold against the stock market for the past 80 years. You will find that it has a pitiful return when compared to owning stocks. Gold is a non productive asset, just because peo

There is a reason why an investor that holds a security until it is worthless is called a "bag holder". It makes no sense to "invest" in any currency when you can own productive assets instead. If you are concerned about

Technically, nothing needs to be additionally configured for FIDO U2F to be implemented for an application. You just need to connect the key to your account and it should just prompt you to click the button when you need to sign in. If a co

I don't understand why MoviePass doesn't just close up shop. Their popularity stemmed from selling a dollar for 50 cents. There is no business here, they should quit while they are behind.
