Well it depends on what we mean by 'inconsistent'. In C# For example, if a structure is over CPU arch Word size (i.e. 32 or 64 bits) then you could have a torn read if it's being written. However object refs themselves are al

FWIW There's a local regional chain that does in fact operate in a way similar to what you describe with CloudKitchens. The main difference is that in practice, you go to the store and pick up meals for the next 2-3 days (I'm fine

I feel like you can try to FAFO with that on a distributed log like Kafka (although also... eww, but also I wonder whether NATS does the same thing or not...) I would think for something like a database, at most you'd want to have so

Restaurant delivery... I tend to agree. 'nonperishable food' or 'properly packed short travel' (i.e. dairy/frozen) IMO is a fairer niche of 'could be non-luxury with better societal outcomes', except for

One of my more amusing examples are the 'Car Brand Bicycles'. For instance nowadays you can get a 'Ford Bronco E-bike' and I believe there's a 'GMC Hummer' e-bike as well. Fairly expensive for what you act

Optimal Query plans are often a bit of voodoo dependent on the underlying DB. That said, I've certainly seen anti patterns in querying; my favorite being folks who bolt an ORM on, don't bother to define mapping properly, and sudde

Eh... I feel like they have aged better over time than a lot of 'trilogies'. They do not measure up to the original but they aren't truly terrible, at least if you're looking at them from a more philosophical standpoint.

BTW as separate anecdata... This morning I was in the rightmost lane doing 5 over and I indeed had someone come up at me 15+ over and ride my ass. Was I supposed to just pull over to the shoulder at that point or kowtow?

It depends a lot on the ICE and setup. If I'm in my WRX and I do need to go above 75 quickly, I can drop into 4th and get to 80 more quickly. But I've got a stick so I can do that. If I'm in something with a slushbox, I hav

Assuming 70MPH is already 5 miles over the limit in this case and the vehicle behind you is not an emergency responder... All you're doing is letting a dickhead bully win and letting bad people get away with bad behavior.
