In my experience, and of course opinion, yes. Java might also be "bad", I don't know. I programmed it for a bit but didn't like it so moved on. The main problem with PHP, the real killer, is not that it's complex, o

If I was running Redhat machines and had bought support to the end of the year I think I'd expect Redhat to release packages for RHEL 5 that let me SSH to them from RHEL 8 machines.

Yeah, mustly rings true. There's actually very little I want to watch. Archer has become crap, and I've watched Rick and Morty and Arrested Development too many times already.

The problem I have with this is that my available energy for finding the good stuff in a sea of mediocrity is pretty minimal. As a result I find myself not trying new stuff at all. If most of the time when I tried something new it was good

There are a whole load of very similar looking robots out there, an image search for "quadruped robot" or "hexapod robot" will yield loads of them. It's great that someone is getting into robotics, but this does hav

One key difference between solar and nuclear is that when solar goes wrong it goes wrong in a pretty small way. Nuclear’s failure states are pretty awful, see Chernobyl, Fukushima for disasters, but just (something I learned as a kid) the I

If you haven't already I would absolutely read the Jepsen articles on MongoDB, at least so you are aware of the risks and failure states. There's some stuff about transactions that may be relevant too.

How do you handle the data integrity issues that are present, even at the strongest configurable integrity levels, or is data integrity not an issue for your application?

You should take a look at the Jepsen post. Kyle tested MongoDB at the highest integrity levels and still found problems.
