> The web request/response model makes ACID pointless. The whole point of ACID is that if two users try to update something at the same time, you won't lose either of their updates. No web app implements that: if user A loads the edit page and then user B loads the edit page and makes an edit, their update is going to be lost when A saves the page. (Or maybe the webapp implements its own locking, but it won't - and can't - use database transactions for it, because there's no way to know whether the user is still editing or has closed the page).

That's a problem that is solved by CRDTs and the like, not any form of data store. But it's just one use of web frontends. Banking doesn't use that, neither does a large chunk of the world's applications.

> Exactly! MySQL did none of the things that "good" databases do, and yet MySQL-based companies were far more successful. Conclusion: the things that "good" databases do aren't actually that valuable.

Conclusion: Early web startups were successful, irrespective of what data store they had. Irrelevant to today's internet. And judging on the wrong criteria. Companies weren't "MySQL-Based", their business model disintermediated and undercut existing models. Correlation is not causation. Companies that ran on SUN/Solaris were successful as well.

SQL is not intended as a machine-to-machine interface, it's a language for expressing relational queries. Prepared statements and caching remove that "3x as long parsing"

> Application programmers know to make sure every thread obtains locks in the same order...

Evidence suggests the opposite, thus the need for things like Rust's borrow checker. Studies have shown that programmers can't work out what the race conditions and locking requirements are.

> But SQL is a very poor interface, and datbase-level ACID is worse than useless in today's (web-based) architectures.

SQL is a crap language, agreed. But your definition of "web-based" architectures seems to be picked to be the CRDT related stream of changes. Which, by the way, could be implemented in an RDBMS by writing the CRDTs as transactions and enforcing the ordering with the appropriate rollbacks and commits.

the businesses closure is direct result of the government orders. It is evidenced by how people flocked back to businesses when they [partially] opened. A well beyond middle age neighbor drove to San Mateo county for a gym and only 1 hour long line prevented her from going there more.

In Russia they came up with a new word - Coronoia, ie. "Corona + Paranoia", and your post is typical Coronoia style in that it ignores the straight reality and facts which are staring right into the face.

You don't control a thing simpy by measuring it harder. The monitoring is useful, and your suggestions seem sensible.

But they've got to be tied to specific and appropriate interventions and countermeasures matching the characteristics of the disease innquestion.

For COVID-19, characteristics are an extended asyptomatic infectious period, which makes cryptic spread a major factor. Protocols for travel bans and quarantines would have to be tied to detection programmes.
But does that include the load-out time? I'd imaging the process for loading a C-17 and getting it in the air is much quicker than for this Starship.
I read mostly fiction books too. (At bed time mostly) For articles I save them them to Pocket, and then every so often I'll edit the list.

It doesn't sound like much, but I'm consistently getting through the 4 hour edition in about 2 weeks. Then I switch to just reading my fiction book in the morning as well as at night.

That's not fearmongering: you belive that it's easy to determine that "not getting the flu ever won't cause issues".

Such a thing cannot be determined easily and effects can start showing after many years of the body not getting the flu.

You belive that it's easy to see how the body works: modern science can tell that only in isolation, but the body as a whole is not something we can predict the longterm effects for. Why do you think vaccines need 10-15 years of testing before getting approved (except the covid one, which tells you a lot about how much they know about the side effects....)
Indeed in Switzerland the taxes and living costs are lower than in SF/Nyc; hence, you are more likely to become a millionaire with a tech job here than almost anywhere else.

Yuri Gagarin technically performed the first “orbital drop” style manoeuvre if you want to get into the semantics. The Soviets were concerned about the efficacy of the landing systems and made the decision (and designed the capsule to facilitate this) have him egress the and parachute to a nearly guaranteed safe landing rather than accept the risk of his death in an accident on landing.

You seem to equate kubernetes and containerization. Kubernetes is just too complex for most usecases, that's all. There are simpler solutions (in the sense of less powerful) that still allow using containers and scale-out but are less maintenance.

The universe is so large, that I'm sure there are millions of planets out there with life.

However, since we've had decent tools to look for signs of life for decades and found nothing, for any one person to say they secretly made contact years ago is an 'extraordinary claim'.

I suspect that the universe, as a whole, only became hospitable to life recently. Probably many planets spawned organisms around the same time Earth did. That means nearly all of them are too many light years away for signs of their intelligent life to have reached us.

There is definitely merit in your comment - basically, solve your problem first - but in practice, extracting functionality (such as a message queue), especially if the system is older, is very difficult and expensive, so it's put off so it becomes even more expensive.

I've seen a few projects where instead of committing to a large re-architecting of an existing application, or extracting specific components, they went for a full rewrite. I don't think they were very successful (maybe for the managers that pushed for a new department to be cobbled together from consultants and self-employed folk), because the problem was not well-understood and they over-engineered towards e.g. microservices and/or everything into an event bus before understanding the problem and the consequences of their decisions.

At one project, I'm convinced the decision to rewrite was political (the existing application was a C#/.NET application, the new manager Decided to have the new stuff made in Java on AWS. Oh and for every IT system to be migrated to AWS as well. Then the army of consultants and self-employed folk Decided to go for a microservices architecture linked together on an event bus (AWS Kinesis, for some reason), spent two years developing only to realize that hey, having a separate 'order' and 'inventory' microservice is kinda tricky when you actually have to check inventory to make an order. [/rant over])
considering how similar many CI providers are in terms of how you write your tests, I would say that this is either very achievable or not that worth it.

you already can do a lot by writing a bunch of scripts that will be executed on a CI, and just fiddle with differences in like metadata/artifact/how you declare your containers.

and while you are there, you can generate the code CI definitions for more than one CI provider (think of it like "multi-cloud" but for CI approach.
One thing that many devs don't pay much attention to is as soon as you go with SOA/microservices and separate DBs you are now in the realm of distributed systems with all the fun that entails.
Doesn't change the fact that being bought by a PE firm is a very bad sign for customers of the business.

For something easily switchable like your favorite retail shop you can - and should if you don't want the collapse to hasten - continue as before, but for something your business depends on like CI it's a huge red flag that you should switch to a different supplier.
No.

It contains only a subset of the rest routes and allows to combine them efficiently. That is what avoids the explosion. You don't have to add any new "rest route" equivalent in graphQL if some user just wants a new combination of data but doesn't want to make 10 requests to get it.

Australia and New Zealand are islands where the borders can be closed much more tightly than elsewhere and imported goods arrive mainly through container shipping.

I should keep this in mind when I upgrade my workstation some time in the future. I have an x470 Taichi and there the IOMMU grouping is pretty bad, it also has only a single USB controller in its own group, and all PCIe slots except the top x16 one are grouped with other stuff so it's not even possible to plug in a separate USB controller card or a second GPU for passthrough. A ThreadRipper would have been a much better choice considering I also use this machine for development and can use all the cores I can get.
What I found really disturbing is the 'flight or fright' reaction of people that find themselves in these life or death situations. We all think we will act to save our lives, acting rationally, but apparently there's many people that just freeze in shock, unable to move or do anything even when their lives depend on it.

Think I first saw this in a sunken ferry disaster movie, based on real events, where the family says to the son something like "You go, boy", while they stayed to drown with the ship. Really scary.

Particularly someone asked whether Uber could scale the approach. I couldn't find how many cities in which Uber uses corrected GPS, except a 2018 Verge article that says "15, launching soon globally". Either way, seems like the answer is Google has the data to do it. And Google can bring it to every (non-China) Android phone.

But yeah, Google's post is very light on technical details. It'd be interesting to see if their approaches were similar.

Edit: also of note, Uber used server-side correction (at least in 2018), while Google downloads 3D tiles to the device.

There's an assumption here that getting the flu is natural. What reason do you have to believe that? Many people, especially in lower density areas, go their entire lives without ever getting the flu. If you have some evidence that getting the flu can have protective effects, please present it.
People are not avoiding restaurants. After each temporary lockdown has been lifted in my country, restaurants and pubs immediately went back to full capacity. Also, this summer I found that overlander hotspots -- the places where elderly Europeans go in their camping cars -- were as packed as in any other year with little distancing observed. Certainly some are worried about the virus, but many others are not.

Yup, pretty much. However, the implications of veneer can be significant.

Providing a single unified interface which provides granular, unified querying of disparate types has several benefits. In particular, it can simplify logic in the consuming application, and reduce network load (both in terms of the number of requests, and especially in the amount of data returned).

For example, a pet website backed by a traditional REST architecture, may have separate endpoints for say `/pets`, `/owners`, and `/purchases `. In this context, the front-end may need to make calls to all three of these endpoints, retrieving the full payload for each - only to discard most of the fields, and keep 2 or 3 relevant ones from each entity.

By comparisons, a GraphQL based approach would allow a single consolidate query for just those specific fields (from all entities).

Of course this isn't relevant in every use case, and there's no silver bullet - and in many cases, a REST based approach may well be better.
