I do agree, but listen... this is supposed to be handy solution. You know, my app already uses MongoDB, why do I need another component if I can run my notifications with a collection? Also, I am firm believer that you should not put actu

Which is fine, queueing systems can't store infinity of messages either. In the end messages are stored somewhere so there is always some limit.

MongoDB's change stream is accidentally very simple to use. You just call the database and get continuous stream of documents that you are interested in from the database. If you need to restart, you can restart processing from the cho

As much as I detest MongoDB immaturity in many respects, I found a lot of features that are actually making life easier when you design pretty large scale applications (mine was typically doing 2GB/s of data out of the database, I like

Except water in oceans is at 4C (at least almost everything deeper than ca 200m). And in the vicinity of 4C the thermal expansion is very negligible. This graph should explain why: https://images.app.goo.gl/FXzvTkPvE9dYxoU

Not true. First of all, most of the temperature rise only happening close to the surface with average surface temperature rise being only about 1.5F or 1C since 1901. This article says deep ocean water is projected to warm up by only 0.2C d

There is only one reason the sea can rise currently due to weather and that is glaciers getting melted. Another reason (but not due to weather) is that when land somewhere goes up, it will displace water everywhere else. And so, for example

I would add a bit of my own experience. Products like this are great. But if you already know the technology, know what is happening and you are using it to basically eliminate a bunch of coding or setup tasks that you would have to do. The

I am not convinced (I grew up on a farm). It is usually harder to get rid of any weeds when your crop is growing on the field. After harvest, you just get rid of everything, turn the soil (but I don't know anything about rice farming)

I know Chinese harvest their rice up to three times a year. I don't see how perennial rice could compete. Harvesting normal rice is just grabbing entire plants, as many as you can grab at a time. I may know nothing about how harvesting

No conflict here. You can own a piece of art that is racist or antisemitic without being racist or antisemitic. Also, in certain parts of Poland antisemitism is so pervasive that it is basically part of local folklore. So you try to go read

Sure. A person singing a racist song might just be liking the song and not thinking twice about it. Doesn't change the fact the song is racist.

So the way antisemitism here works is pretty much the same way it always did. The same way Nazis used. People assign certain qualities to Jews. They repeat the same ad nauseam in jokes, in caricature, etc. Rather than treat Jews individuall

The "Jew with a Coin" is antisemitic. The coin is used in this case to symbolise greed which antisemites here automatically assign to all Jews. (I know, I am a Pole)

There are strategies that seem to work but are burdened by a fundamental problem -- they just shift the risk. They bring steady results until an event happens that causes huge amount of loss. As a risk guy I can tell you basic thing about r

I don't doubt it. (For background, I worked with financial risk and algorithmic trading and are now doing my own investments.) You can create strategies that return well above the market average. But there are caveats: * You have to kn

Again, the ultimate goal is to make the code readable (without sacrificing too much other qualities like performance). When you have a language and context that makes recursion easier to understand than loop -- go for recursion. One other r

Your question was, and I quote: > is there actually any chipset with the algorithmic ability to add more than 2 numbers altogether in one operation (without having to store intermediate results) I was just answering your question. I am n

by twawaaay 4y ago
Chips have ability to run vector operations that can add a bunch of numbers. The issue is that recursion in software development is relatively rarely about arithmetic operation. For example, you might want to traverse a tree of objects (lik

I don't understand where you come from with your argument. Recursion is also producing results that are "wrong answers" although I prefer to call them partial results. Just like a loop that is producing partial results as lon

I also think so. Rather than move hydrogen, move the electricity or the iron. Produce hydrogen on site and even on demand to get rid of most of the need to store/transport it. As to cost, who can quantify me the risks of having and tra

From a purely moral point of view, I don't think the morality of the decision to drop bombs on cities is in any way influenced by what actually happened after. It is only influenced by what happen up to this point and knowledge allies
