It’s sad the only people involved in this 20 year old plus saga who seen and ever will see a prison are the victims. The people knowingly sending innocent people to prison, and responsible for the suicides of innocent people directly due to

I dunno. That didn’t even register as a one on a scale of one out of ten of heated business discussions. The word bullshit didn’t even register, never mind offensive in its usage or delivery. If anything it was direct and succinct. She was

I left Spotify as a paying customer due to podcasts. The way they implemented podcasts wasn’t great. Previously Spotify was very good suggesting music that I liked. I’d go to the home screen and see lots of relevant suggested music and just

Kafka doesn’t scale well with partitions, throughput falls over quickly especially if using replication and acks. If each user has a topic your partitions are unbounded. You have at least one partition per user. I’d use a single notificatio

It depends who your clients are. If clients are public/external users, probably not. If clients are internal services you own and you control as part of a internal distributed service, it’s a nice pattern

This looks interesting for read heavy distributed apps. I.E fly.io/aws lambdas/k8s. Each instance gets its own eventually consistent read only copy of the db. So instead of making a network request to go get some data, you query y

I see Ansible as a glorified task runner and every time I’ve used it, never get the same results twice. Idempotency is by convention only and if a single step fails it can be hard to recover. Nix has its warts however I think what Nix tries

The R6 is an inline 4, 15500rpm red line, 68nm of torque. Fun bike, on a track or doing illegal speeds on the road. Rest of the time, it has no power. The Enigica has 215nm of torque, about twice the 2022 R1. The R6, the power is all up top

I think this is way overstated. A better description is Apache Kafka utilises zero copy if you do not use SSL/TLS. Almost every Kafka cluster I’ve set up, SSL/TLS has been an absolute requirement to tick the uses SSL checkbox for
