For me, I just wish MongoDB had scaling options closer to how Elatic/Cassandra and other horizontally scalable databases work, in that the data is sharded in a circle with redundancy metrics... as opposed to Mongo, which afaik is still

Even then... I'd argue for at least LevelDB over raw jsonl files... and I say this as someone who would regularly do ETL and backups to jsonl file formats in prior jobs.

by tracker1 6mo ago
I'd argue for using LevelDB or similar if I just wanted to store arbitrary data based on a single indexable value like TFA. That said, I'd probably just default to SQLite myself since the access, backup, restore patterns are rela

I generally limit Oracle to where you are in a position to have a dedicated team to the design, deployment and management of just database operations. I'm not really a fan of Oracle in general, but if you're in a position to spen

I think part of it is the scale in terms of the past decade and a half... The hardware and vertical scale you could get in 2010 is dramatically different than today. A lot of the bespoke no-sql data stores really started to come to the for

I think cattle are fine... though I'm also okay with more Bison, goats, sheep, deer, elk, etc. I'm also more than okay with less use of feed lots and direct butchery of grass fed ruminants. As for marginal land... personally, I c

I get it... I had an ER trip, pre ACA (Obamacare) where my health insurance max was 500k, and my bill was like $370k after all was said and done... I worked a lot the next 7 years to pay off/down what I could, then at that point, I jus

I don't think the answer is reduce though... I think it's increase... humans wiped out so many of the ruminant animals (buffalo mainly) that kept the grasslands healthy... we've largely over-farmed in the interim since. We n

A large amount of beef is mostly grass fed and finished on a grain feed lot the last month of life.

Legumes and soy in particular is a pretty common allergy... it's nearly impossible to get sufficient protein without meat if you have a legume allergy. The impact of non-natural feeds on the overall nutrition profile for chickens and p

There are absolutely a number of people that would love to ban meat consumption. I eat mostly meat and eggs, because there isn't much else I can eat that doesn't cause a number of digestive or inflammation issues for me.

For grass fed cattle, the vast majority of said water is from rain that would have fallen on the land with or without the cattle. It's not generally municipal supplies of water in use for naturally raised cattle.

Grass fed cattle can use land that is generally not fit for vegetation farming... because of excess rocks, etc. Ruminants that are being naturally (grass) fed are also regenerative in terms of soil health. They don't tend to "bul

I think we need more ruminant animals raised on grass as a means of regenerative farming... I think beef largely gets a bad rap for a lot of reasons that largely don't hold to grass fed cattle farming.

I'd say it depends on the product and how that product is used with/by the agent and if/how a user is controlling said agent(s).

At the point I'm running in CF anyways, I'd be far more likely to just use CF's R2 over AWS S3 for storage.

This article simply seems to be stoking an ageist division where there needn't be one... The Greatest Gen and Boomers largely had a better set of opportunities than generations since. There are a lot of reasons for this... you could j

You're welcome to walk to the cafe on the other side of town... however, if you're in a larger city in the southwest, you can expect that walk to take several hours. Just driving from one edge of the Phoenix metro area to the oth

Seems interesting, but tbf, I only really use a small subset of git commands as it is... I've tended to practice a few workflows that just reduce the overhead and risk for conflicts.

Maybe... however, most bands tend to drift a LOT from the studio versions of songs while touring.

At the last "That Damn Show" in Phoenix (2001 iirc), a couple of the bands were burning and selling CDs from that show. Was kind of nice/wild to see.

I have a friend that used to record a lot of concerts... a surprising number of bands would even let him plug into the panel to do so. IIRC, mostly using a digital tape recorder later transferred to computer over firewire in the late 90s a

Not sure if it's still the case, but C library interop in C# is the main reason I chose to start with the alpha/beta versions of C# over Java around 2000-2001.

I don't think macros are all that bad myself... I'd say complex lifetimes are probably the hardest thing to grok when reading rust and that you can avoid a lot of that depending on how your code is structured.

Adjacent to the article... there are a lot of bits from WCF I really liked and miss. I didn't really like a lot of the default way to use it... I generally would combine all the interfaces and a client instance generator into a singl
