Did anyone else immediate get confused by the assertion that the http code shouldn't know about the database details so the solution is for the database code to embed http details instead? In our project we have a domain types package

Another problem solved by decentralization! You should sell some NFTs to celebrate.

I do. I doubt it cost much in relative terms, and it's drawn a lot of attention to the issue of fatherhood and spawned a lot of debate.

Sometimes people do things to be funny.

Exactly right. I don't understand why people miss this detail. Maybe Google does have too much power over how content is served, but this isn't a fix, at all.

Yes, and they scale poorly. See the part where people fill warehouses with GPUs causing global shortages and lopsided power demands.

Is there another obvious term for this? I didn't know what it meant but now that I've learned I find it a valuable generic term for this class of thing.

Yeah that is my read as well, and for a ton of use cases that's exactly what I want. Very exciting.

Saying it's not uncommon for a database to be tens or even hundreds of milliseconds away is ignorant at best. If you care about performance, you're not jumping across the US for every database query. Honestly this is the kind of s

Is there an example of negative repercussions of this in modern society? I hear people complain about extreme taxation relative to history, but I also have plenty of access to goods and services in my region, so it seems there must be other

What if you include living expenses?

I would imagine all such models would rely on thousands or more factors which, when tweaked based on individual bias, show widely variable outcomes.

You could swap Python here for Ruby, JavaScript or 12 other languages based on your personal preference. For most of what most of us are building rock solid libraries exist to do the task at hand. It's okay if you like Python, but many

Honestly if you don't care about precision, /dev/zero is going to give you more throughput. Plus, I personally guarantee it's correct to within an error margin of 4.0. You can't offer the same with /dev/ra

It must be hard being perfect. The rest of us will keep looking for solutions for mortals.

Let's not hold ruby up as a poster child for modularity.

Because the predominant patterns are to do concurrency with message passing, so having multiple goroutines trying to mutate the same container is the exceptional case (though as you say, mutexes are the answer when needed). Another reason i

Wait, are you implying Go doesn't have error checking? In what way? It has famously verbose error semantics.

I was this dev early in my career. A sharp overreaction to a giant ball of mud architecture with no tests and minimal consistency. I read all those books looking for some better way and inflicted all those rules on people. I don't regr

Yes, when compared to extreme complexity, compose is simpler. But it's hardly simple.

Frankly it sounds like you need to make this happen. I don't know your company culture but at places I've worked Staff+ engineers aren't meant to wait around for permission to be catalysts and mentor other engineers.

Which essentially limits adoption to less than 1% of humans, a problem centralized social networks don't have to contend with.

But errors that are returned by functions are expected behavior. Except for where you assert its bizarre you seem to support this position. The only semantic thing rust offers here is '?', and that's just syntax sugar for err

Unexpectedly fun to open a HN article and have someone talk about visiting my city (Newburyport) on vacation. Hope they had a great time! I also have a copy of Mastermind that my parents had as kids, it's probably from the 70s? Cool vi

I can't imagine amazon prefers the use of metal vs. non-metal. As I understand the pricing they're equivalent.

Wait, most of _what_ code is unsafe? Aside from this one comment it sounds like you just came here to shit on Rust, lol.
