Terraform: Understanding State
STL (if we use this name as a arguably incorrect alias for the c++ standard library) is intrinsically linked with the language. A lot of its implementation requires primitives that are not part of the language (although often exposed as intrinsics as an extension). An implementation can and often does treat the names under namespace std specially and assumes invariants and behavior.

Because they proposed "fixing" the benchmarks by doing this, at which point I am asking what you hope to see in the benchmark if everything is the same.

They consider difference due to compiler versions to be "wrong", differences in flags to be "wrong" etc. . So "the difference comes from the parts that hadn't changed", yeah which ones would you permit to change to consider the benchmark not "wrong"?

on the contrary, std::map is a good default container with predictable performance. If you need fast O(1) look up std::unordered_map is really not fit for purpose and requires you to come up with an hash function.
FoundationDB needs is a consistent (as per CAP) database, to make that work in a distributed fashion, there are limits on distributed transactions in size and time. CouchDB needs to adopt those in order to move to FoundationDB.

The 3.x series will be supported for a long time for folks who can’t move up. Until then, as others have stated, you can up the default limit.

Using Kolmogorov Complexity and then using PCA is not valid since you are approximating a solution and Kolmogorov Complexity is for exact solutions. Anyway perhaps there is, or should be defined, a signal/noise Kolmogorov Complexity measure, that is the shortest length of a program that computes an approximate solution within an epsilon distance of the true solution. Also since PCA is discussed, why not use SVD?

Edited: See (1)for some related ideas: A Safe Approximation for Kolmogorov Complexity

It was never actually a grammatical error. The idea that it was "in fact arose as an incorrect generalization of a personal preference expressed by a grammarian in 1770."

When we played Catan every single day for a year during the 1990s, we ran into the dice variance issue plenty of time that we considered creating a bag with 36 chits with the dice distribution, guaranteeing that all dice results would come up in the expected ratios. Or maybe 72 chits to remove the predictability when the bag starts to get empty, and return the chits once you got a complete set of 36 out.

But as you can see, the idea quickly became way too complicated and we never implemented it.

Removing trading sounds like a terrible idea. Being able to monopolise a resource just to trade it for what you really need, is a feature, not a bug. Some resources are rare, and you need to take that into account during placement.
> At this point why would you use CouchDB over something like MongoDB?

They are very different databases. But since they have come up are around the same time and because they look very similar on the surface, you might think you chose between them.

But when you look more closely at detail decisions on the technical details, at almost every point, where CouchDB goes one way, Mongo went the other way.

I’m not saying either decisions are better or worse, it’s just that they are very different database that you should evaluate on their merits, not just superficially.

I went down the rabbit hole of low TDP Xeon drives when I was last building a home FreeNAS box. It makes sense in theory to get a CPU that doesn't get as hot, so will need less cooling, but I think TDP is more about the total / max power used, not average. I would suggest a CPU with more cores it can keep sleeping for most of operation, but available when you need it.
last time I looked, realm did “last write wins” “conflict resolution”, which is just marketing speech for “randomly losing customer data”, which is something CouchDB decidedly works very hard to never ever do ;)

I think the bigger take-away here is that Insurance providers, especially the lower tier ones, will fight you tooth and nail to provide the medical coverage and incur all the costs associated with that (billing personnel, lawyers etc...) instead of just paying for the costs as agreed upon.

This is very distressing, and I was looking at my medical bills from last year, the blood work done cost nearly $800, and I opted for a cortisone level exam that was $280, of which I only paid $15. But it took a ton of legwork, calling for procedure numbers, speaking to clueless CSR outside the US. The costs for basic procedures are just outlandish, so both the hospital as well as the Insurance play this war of attrition where the only real loser is the patient caught in between, often while ill and with no other recourse.

This poor guy got screwed and even with medical insurance they wanted HIM to do the legwork to prove he shouldn't pay when his exams were complete.

I'm kind of on-board for a Megacorp like Walmart to enter this space at this point, if only to see what other alternatives they could come with.

Their vision stuff wasn't bad at all, I had a hard time getting an appointment with a local provider with my medical insurance due to time/schedule constraints, so I went to a Walmart, got an exam during lunch (covered by insurance), gave them my frames and 1.5 week later I had them in my hand with new lenses for $155 with 2 year warranty waiting for me in the evening (7pm?).

I think my Insurance savings would have been like $40 had I gone into a network optometrist so it was hardly a deal breaker as my time was a bigger concern.
> Well, uhm, do you have some time to spare?

Exactly the thought I had. I do generally agree with the feeling that consumerism fuels waste and therefore unneeded emissions, but to suggest that radical change happens at the personal level and not at the corporate level seems off.

To the point:

> Developing software or a widget to optimize one's impact is just selling people hopium.

Wouldn’t shaving 1% of emissions for a manufacturing company reduce emissions far more than me reducing my emissions by cutting out meat for a week? Intuitively, small cuts at a large scale across many companies would save us much more than small cuts at a small scale across many people.

Anyways, I think it must be attacked from all these angles. But in my view, corporate emissions should be the bigger target. Sure, we could all be blamed for the problem. But individuals make choices based on what is available to them at the time with the resources they have. Most people never take an international fight and many never set foot on an airplane at all. Most people in the world are poor.
The number of times I've created conflicting rules between my linter, editor, and bundler.... I'd use it just to ditch that mess.

Nothing is risk free.

If you have a large population then any small risk means harm will be caused to a small number of people.

If people who start vaping are ex smokers we can balance that tiny risk against the huge benefits of smoking cessation.

We can't do that same balancing for young non smokers who start vaping, so from a public health point of view we'd want to avoid it.
So this needs a powerful wifi transmitter nearby? Does a normal router continuously blast out enough power for these backscatter transmitters to harness, so no other transmitters are present?
I don't understand why you would use HAProxy here. Generally on k8s, you'd use a LoadBalancer (backed by eg. metallb on bare metal) to route external traffic into your cluster. This goes for both 'normal' payloads/services and the Kubernetes API endpoint itself.

In addition, it seems like the quorum configuration shown here is pretty poor - only uses two nodes. This is a recipe for split-brain.
MongoDB raised $311M in funding and is now a publicly traded US corporation: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mongodb-inc#section-...

CouchDB is a community-run Apache Software Foundation project (that has corporate contributors as well as individual contributors) at a much lower scale than MongoDB.

Of course MongoDB’s marketing is better, they are spending a lot of money on it. If you’d like to help out with CouchDB’s marketing, we can always use another helping hand :)
As non exhaustive list, compilers have have intimate knowledge of:

* various operator new
* all the type traits
* a lot of the names inherited from the C library

compilers could do much more, but in general they prefer to implement generic optimizations instead of targeting a specific library name (for example removing allocation for stack allocated std::strings was not done until the generic removal of alloc/free was implemented).
No matter the computer technology, I find that IBM did it first and had their own name for it. Someone ™ should compile a list of IBM nomenclature and list it next to contemporary names. Bonus points for including other languages, IBM had translations for French, German, Swedish and who-knows-what other languages.
I know this sounds crazy, but for E-Commerce, you never go with all these third party "platforms" as your sole business strategy.

1. First of all, you can't differentiate much in terms of offering and most of the time, you're put in a position of having to compete by price if there are similar offerings in the same platform.

2. Believe it or not, it's only a matter of time when other sellers (particularly from CN) will replicate your offering if they ever find it to gain traction and will force you to compete by price.

3. Because you're pushed into a red ocean, you barely get to build your brand and curate your own email list.

4. Finally, you can avoid all these random fees by having your own shop. These fees can make or break your business especially if they force you to increase the price of your products.

I've been in the E-Commerce (mostly drop-shipping) business for many years now and I will never recommend anyone to solely rely on Amazon or Etsy or Ebay or even Shopify. Get a domain name, roll out something quick. Use WooCommerce or Magento or whatever it takes. Start off with a simple shared hosting account if you can't afford to pay a lot, use the rest of the money to advertise on Facebook/Instagram and start building your own list. When you grow, move to something like AppEngine on GCP or some managed dockerized hosting on AWS so that you don't need to worry about devOps.

You'd be surprised, how effective this strategy is over the long term, than having to sell your data to all these platforms which you're helping to grow by paying your money to them and as well as data. I know atleast Shopify effectively sucks your analytics from your shop and resells it to you back as a premium offering called "Shopify Analytics" (https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/reports-and-analytics/sho...).

Install Google Analytics and Tag Manager, read some tutorials and setup event tracking. Feel free to ping me if you need help. You'll then start to see how much valuable data you've been giving away to these leeches for free (sometimes even paying a fee to them to steal your data).

With all of the above and the right combination of products, UX, ads, you can easily make much more than relying on these third party platforms.

Of course none of this would be needed if we could just use a programming language that wasn't shit, but before that's possible, things like Rome will keep surfacing. It is somewhat amusing to observe, even if you're blessed with not having to touch it.
Node has three different ways of running parallel work: workers, threads, and multi-process.

That’s why we do CouchDB :)
> even in Rust I suspect they use builtins in certain places of their standard library.

There are places in the rust standard library which just omit the implementation because it's magically filled in by the compiler based on the type and function names. Which, for really low-level and fundamental functionality, seems fair game to me.

I honestly haven't seen any pure deckbuilding game that's as good as Dominion. It works very well in Quest for El Dorado, but that's not pure deckbuilding (great game, though).

I also disagree that Catan is deeply flawed. Of course no game is perfect, but Catan does what it does very well. Kingmaking can be an issue in any multiplayer game with any sort of interaction, but in Catan, it's pretty clear how to get points. If people are throwing the game just to spite someone, then you just need to play with better people. Dice are absolutely central to the game, but that's not necessarily bad. Luck being a factor does not make a game deeply flawed. If you prefer chess, you just need to play chess instead.
IMHO C++ is unfairly singled out with regards to it's extension. That criticism rings true if applied to pretty much every single programming language ever devised, including "small" languages such as C.
I was aiming for funny and accurate, not deep. Sad, for some, I guess that its heyday is long past, and that it will never ever rise to compete even with C/C++ commercially again, no matter how hard some people kick the dinosaur corpse.
