I was unwilling to sign up to read the actual benchmark report for the comparison to cockroachdb but it jumped out at me as odd. They solve completely different kinds of problems in my experience so I’m not surprised Scylla did better in raw throughout. That’s not interesting though. It would be just as weird for cockroach to put up a benchmark showing it outperforms in distributed sql queries.

That said I’ve seen the value Scylla brings in its core value prop, replacing Cassandra. It’s real good at that.

Completely different communication paradigm.

IRC is an instant-messaging platform, while Twitter is a microblogging platform that was available to anyone in the pre-smartphone era as it was initially tailored for SMS message length.

IRC requires a client (okay, you could use a web gateway), and you somewhat need to know what you're doing (not saying it's hard, but the average user might not even care about accessing IRC if it requires a minimum of effort), while Twitter could be used through a flip-phone or accessed simply through a web browser, which you can assume everyone have.

> A single ATX desktop can do almost [1] everything a homelab at a fraction of the cost & power consuption.

So this is true, but the iDRAC/iLO on my big, loud server has a virtual KVM feature that lets me lazily sit at my desk and click buttons and install my server operating system of choice. It saves a lot of space and effort compared to flashing a USB, going and plugging in a keyboard, (mouse), and monitor, and going through the whole deal. I'd wager that's one of the big things that would compel me to buy a rack server. I recently built a nice ATX desktop, fitted with a 5950X and everything, and I found that the PiKVM project [0] does a pretty good job at replacing that "integral" part of the server for me (you can also look into an ASRock Rack PAUL [1], but good luck finding one for sale right now.

> What makes even less sense is wanting use to use software like vSphere or ESXi since its about 10x more complicated than just using virt-manager/QEMU

A lot of people (not me, I end up using libvirt/QEMU as it suits my needs) buy homelabs to work towards having hands-on experience for their system administration job, which uses ESXi/vSphere. It might also be for working on getting certifications from VMware, in which case they really don't have any choice but to use ESXi on their servers.

> Server hardware & software makes sense when it's not your home because then you do need a remote access tool like iDRACK

Now, I addressed this earlier (laziness), but these BMC things are very useful—you can monitor the health of various components of your server, and I believe even update the BIOS without stepping out of your chair. It makes administering a homelab much easier, and even the Pi-KVM, a DIY option, I'm pretty sure, doesn't have monitoring features. Plus, those DIY solutions require wiring stuff into your ATX motherboard, which can get janky and might put off people who want a turnkey solution.

Binary options shouldn't be compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and largely looks like a currency. You can buy it, own it, sell it and exchange it freely for other things. The same is mostly true for proper regulated options.

Binary options are more like a game on a slot machine. You put money in, wait a bit and see if you get money out. You can't own them or transfer them to anybody else. There isn't an open market for them, the counterparty is the broker (i.e. casino). The broker is usually barely regulated if at all, so they can (and do) freely scam people as they please.

That's a strong assumption. Assuming constant testing happens in an environment of quarantining of the person who tested positive and their contacts and possibly their contacts (which is the goal of the whole trace & quarantine fever of 2020), it is hard to argue that the costs of false positives do is linear in the number of false positives. They are hard to observe and record because they are mostly in foregone productive activities and negative impacts on mental health, but that does not make them go away.

It is, or should be, totally OK. I've worked with many people like that, but particularly those over 35, who due to their life stage were perfectly happy with their current roles, and often more importantly, level of responsibility/stress/overtime expectations. Their roles fit with their current work/life balance.

They were, without exception, great to work with, or have work for me.

We can't, after all, all be the boss, or the senior whatever.

Where possible, I'd try and focus on skills development within their current roles.. directly applicable skills where possible - if not, I'd look for indirectly applicable ( look at the training other teams in the business do.. cross skilling, or even just having a better understanding of other roles in the business is rarely a bad thing )

> Rack mount hardware is almost always expensive, loud, and power hungry.

Buying old rack-mount server hardware for home use is almost always a mistake. Old server hardware may feel cheap when you see an old dual-socket rack mount server on eBay with hardware that was fast 8 years ago, but you can probably meet or exceed the performance with something like a cheap 8-core Ryzen.

Rack mount servers are also exceptionally loud. Unless you love the noise of small, high-RPM server fans, you don't want rack mount server hardware in your house.

And don't forget the power bill. Some old servers idle at hundreds of watts, which will add up over the several years you leave it running. 24/7 server hardware is a good example of where it makes sense to be mindful of power consumption.

> What makes even less sense is wanting use to use software like vSphere or ESXi since its about 10x more complicated than just using virt-manager/QEMU.

I disagree. ESXi is actually extremely easy to use, as long as you pick compatible hardware up front. The GUI isn't perfect, but it's intuitive enough that I feel confident clicking around to accomplish what I need instead of looking up a tutorial first.
>It’s difficult to imagine any new flight search, no matter how innovative, winning today with Google acting as the web’s gatekeeper.

Google results are dominated by the Expedia Group (a conglomerate of tons of different brands: https://www.expediagroup.com/home/default.aspx). While Google's practices have definitely hurt, it's a huge business, and probably a larger reason why a new flight search competitor can't get off the ground.

As a customer, it's annoying there isn't more diversity anymore. Generic travel searches are dominated by these brands, plus articles full of affiliate links that are hard to trust.

Well, you can still use Lua 5.4 from inside Nelua since it's integrated as part of the backend mechanism for the metaprogramming and not only, therefore I don't think it breaks portability...unless I did not fully understand you correctly.

>> In both situations, some subordinates will inevitably commit crimes in the name of the organization (eventually), and holding the person at the top completely responsible is totally unreasonable.

My entire argument was that someone somewhere along the chain was indeed responsible and it doesnt have to be the CEO. Youre arguing that the CEO cannot be completely responsible, which totally sidesteps the 14 other layers of people responsible and also conveniently ignores the other 14 layers that could be held responsible, investigated, and prosecuted.

Fine, the CEO cant be responsible -- is absolutely no one responsible at all within the organization? If so, how did tens of billions of dollars of profits pour in? How can no one be responsible and yet the companies be so profitable?

I actually created a .Net Enterprise app that went on to become an industry leading application.

At the time I was hired, it was to modernize an Access application used internally, to try to sell it as a product.

.Net was still in beta at the time (this was early in 2001). I figured I might as well go with the flow and try it out.

It was a crazy ride, and I've since left the company ... but we went through every version from beta through 4.8 before I left.

I'm now using .Net 5 in Azure to power my new company's REST APIs.

While looking at the tables of good versus bad phrasing I couldn't shake the feeling that I was reading something not so dissimilar to how leaders of organized crime historically avoided prosecution.

Stillness -> boredom -> restlessness -> leaving the team.

It sucks and we all hate it but really the only way to keep most employees engaged is to not let them become still. "I'm fine where I'm at, leave me alone" pretty quickly turns into "I'm ready for something new, just not here".

Find goals that motivate them, things they can chase after. Keep them moving and growing. It's the only way.

Hmm... have not tried this myself, but just brainstorming. You could shard based on discord server or chat room, which would give "read before write" consistency since writes can lock, but then you'd have to manage shards to account for varying loads like servers/rooms which grow rapidly, and deal with hot shards which might outgrow the capacity of a single db server.

Given that they said their requirements were "linear scalability, automatic failover, low maintenance, predictable performance", I don't think I'd go that route.

When I was at IBM 15 years ago, IBM was far from being a monopoly, since there were plenty of competitors in the hardware space (HP, Sun, Dell, etc) and in the software space (Oracle, SAP, etc.) and in the Services space (Accenture, PwC, KPMG, etc.) employees still had to complete annual legal training that was very similar to what was described in the post.

Any large company with half-way competent legal counsel is going to tell their employees not to say, "our goal is to crush our competitors, dominate the market, and hear the lamentation of their women." Instead they will tell their employees to focus on making life better for their customers. It's a much healthier way for product managers to focus, and what you might do if the goal is "crush/dominate the competition" is *not* the same than if the goal is delight the customer. So it's not just a messaging strategy to prevent embarassing e-mails from coming out at trial; it's a business strategy, too.
