But people have been doing it for decades and most people didn’t even know about them so maybe everyone’s making a deal of a non-problem?

Just in time doesn’t break down at all — it just calls for larger buffers You can stream audio with a 5s delay and 10s jitter if you have a large enough buffer JIT doesn’t mean instant. It means sizing to the first derivative (rate) and se

The rainy days were more like months for a lot of companies though. Imagine storing enough fuel in case you couldn’t get fuel for 5 months… it’s just unreasonable. It costs too much. At some point you just have to accept that you depend on

Linode was maybe well known 5-10 years ago but I haven’t heard that name spoken in a long time Linode hasn’t put themselves out there like other companies. For example, Digital Ocean has all those tutorials that show up in results. Vercel i

I think it’s a loyalty thing too, but it’s not so much about the platform but more about the podcast With TV shows, if my friends talk about it, I want to watch it too With podcasts, I don’t seem to really care. If I can’t listen to a podca

Well that strategy has worked for other things. They’re not dumb. They took a bet. Not all bets work out Podcasts probably just aren’t that profitable. They just don’t have the same pull like a TV show, plus they’re so cheap to produce so t

Screenshotting an image will easily destroy resolution. It’s not a good way if you are making a document intended to be printed

Are y’all telling me you don’t use cropping in your word processor? I’m well aware that it’s reversible so I’m careful of what I put in to begin with, but I’m not going to open an image editor unless I really have to I have other shit to do

It may be calculable, but is it economical? That 8 cents isn't free. If the power company pays, that means customers pay. If customers don't pay, society has to pay. There are other power storage solutions like pumped hydro that d

Depends on the filesystem that you use, like Dynamo vs Postgres OP’s post probably involved an old filesystem. For example, ext2 did not index the files within a directory, but ext3 introduced H-trees which made big directories much more fe

Well I said “can.” It’s not always true but you can’t do the work of 6 people with 2. I’ve definitely been on teams blocked by the number of people where getting even one more QA person sped things up a lot.
