Indeed, again you are right. I've gone through the same motions as you trying to understand why the webdev people make this so complicated. For your specific question here: NUMA & cpu cores don't suffer from the P in CAP: netw

I'm not sure I follow, though I agree with your definition of idempotency I think ensuring idempotency on the receiving side is sometimes impossible without recognizing that you are receiving an already processed message, in other word

You are 100% correct. UDP can be used to solve this problem, in fact, UDP can be used to solve any (software) networking problem, because its kind of what networking is . The thing that webdevs want to solve is related but different, and w

I don't think I did. The implication is that using languages with strong types (as discussed in the article) is not a solution. That's rubbish. It's at least part of the solution.

I'd disagree, because at least I'm trying to explain myself.

I'm not sure how you got to this conclusion. The answer is a simple google away: smaller companies face lower taxes, lower standards of documentation on health & safety, don't need work councils, less reporting on workspace&#x

Not naming numbers is precisely the point, because you obfuscate the reality of the size of the gap, which in the end is what everything is about. The gap creates the offense. Everybody knows there's rich people, but being confronted b

by vouwfietsman 11mo ago
But what is there to gain with this distinction? Just the convenience of having an ordinal number to say? Rather than saying "chapter 0, chapter 1, chapter 2" one can say "the fourth chapter"? Or is it the fact that the

I am not a Rust expert either, but just a general remark: using a programming language like Rust as its intended to be used, i.e. functional/imperative programming of the problem domain, does not lend itself well to proving/disp

I am no expert here what I remember is mostly from CS courses, but isn't the entire point of a formal program proof that you can reason about the combinatorics of all data and validate hypothesis on those? It's one thing to say:

Ok, since you're looking for sincere feedback. Great vision, challenging the "scale" of current AI solutions is super valid, if only for the reason that humans don't learn like this. Architecture: despite other comments,

Its not what you quoted, and its also still not supporting your point (it starts with or, maybe there's something before the or?).

Couldn't agree more. If tooling would just settle on an arbitrary archive format our lives would be better.
