A surprisingly successful shortcut for dealing with people who won't listen is to throw out the old "Best practices" canard.

"Oh, you'd like to do x? Well that's not' best practices' these days."

People will accept any ridiculous thing you say if you pretend it's "best practices."
> remind everyone how P2P currency is meant to be distributed

Exchanges arose because pure P2P currency distribution is impractical. Crypto's assumptions about whether, how, and why currency should be decentralized are fundamentally at odds with human behavior.
Thanks for your interest in this!

It currently uses RocksDB as the storage engine. If your server has enough resources, I believe it can store TBs of data with no problem.

Running queries on datasets this big is a complicated story. Point lookups should be nearly instant, whereas running complicated graph algorithms on the whole dataset is (currently) out of the question, since all the rows a query touches must reside in memory. Also, the algorithmic complexity of some of the graph algorithms is too high for big data and there's nothing we can do about it. We aim to provide a smooth way for big data to be distilled layer by layer, but we are not there yet.

Perceived intent shapes how it's interpreted.

"Could you just cache the hot partition keys?" probably doesn't carry any negative baggage when it's said by someone you trust to be empathetic to your situation. i.e. You know they aren't underestimating your abilities, you trust they earnestly want to help, and you know you can ask them for help without being judged.

The "Stuck" example is different. The "just" underestimates the difficulty for the listener. So the speaker may respect their abilities and earnestly want to help, but they've underestimated the challenges of their disability -- and overcoming the challenge is not as simple as asking for help.

However, in both cases, the statements work the same without the word "just". Given how little information it adds and the risk of getting it wrong, I think I'll try to use "just" a little less.
Hello,

I have send you a email about my idea for this concept to develop it into something even cooler.

Let me know, Ronald.
The negative baggage isn't something universal though from looking just at the comments here alone.
* Reduce systems footprint

* Good for "minimally dynamic" apps

* Easier in compliance/regulation-heavy environments (the kind that impose burdens on OS configuration and maintenance)

* Like you said, great for low traffic apps (the kind of things we usually build, toss over the fence to another department, and then never look at again)

* Also like you said, resume driven development

> That was the primary tactical doctrine in 1919.

As I understand it, this is not quite accurate. Trenches are pretty resilient to artillery fire. Especially shitty WWI artillery. Trench rushes tended to be pretty effective, but it was very difficult to solidify any gains because the enemy would always have a second line of trenches to quickly counterattack while you were inevitably overextended. The modern precise artillery and intel of the west at least is effective on an entirely different level where supply lines far behind the front are in danger.

That military tech evolves? I mean, yeah, obviously. The claim being addressed here is that things don't become obsolete. Many things do.

> little marketing expense

Are you sure? I come bearing no data at all, but it seems everything I listen to or watch is sponsored by FTX. Didn't they also go huge during Superbowl? I would think FTX is one of the largest marketing spenders in crypto purely based on optics (which, again, may be completely off).
Depends. We've had a few apps that we migrated from on-premise to AWS and made it "full-serverless." Here are some of the things we've learned.

* Scalability is real. We have some bursty traffic, sometimes with extreme burst, and we've had no problems scaling to meet that need.

* Our traffic is still predominately during business hours in the U.S. That's an extremely important point - because our site is effectively being used for only 12 hours or so per day. The remainder of the day and on weekends it's unused. We looked at the cost of using EC2 instances and Elastic Beanstalk and the full serverless is still cheaper.

What we've discovered in our cost analysis is if you have a site that's hit 24x7, 7 days per week then you'd be better off hosting on EC2. If your traffic is constant and there's not much variability over time then it may make more sense to host on-prem. In our case we have highly variable traffic during standard business hours. Serverless is the way to go for that scenario.
There are two types of serverless that most people reference. Serverless functions (e.g. AWS Lambda) and serverless managed platforms (e.g. AWS ECS Fargate)

Serverless functions are great if you have a lot of small services that need to be "on standby at all times".

For example if you have 5000 separate services, it doesn't makes sense to have them all running all the time if 4,000 of them have very low traffic. So one of the main benefits is that you get the ability to "increase your library of services at a very low cost". Serverless also really shines with quick stateless actions.

However, converting an app to all serverless is a huge task and for most apps it doesn't make sense.

Two major drawbacks:

1) You're bound to only the language versions that are currently supported.

2) You're writing code specifically for the platform so without a heavy lift you're "locked in"

If the goal is to go serverless and get rid of the server management, I'd suggest looking into containerizing your existing apps and deploying on a "serverless" managed service like Fargate (or your favorite cloud provider's equivalent). This approach is also lets you go to a different cloud provider if you want... or even move back to your own datacenter with no code changes.
I was like that for many years. A workout would take me two weeks to recover.

They really should have said "inaudible" rather than undetectable. It is detectable (as they note)... just not as what we think of as sound. [edit - fix; how did I leave out words?]

I don't know how common this is now, but at one time it was popular in the car audio world to mount "ass shaker" devices to seats to emphasize bass feeling without requiring the space of a normal speaker. I think cinemas have done this too.
> How much mileage do you get on disc vs rim brakes?

Mileage isn't comparable for brake wear, what matters is time spent braking.

I'm on the first set of rim brake pads on my 2006 road bike, probably over 10K miles! But that's because it's a road bike where I do long rides mostly in steady state, sometimes hours without braking. So the miles and years go by without much brake wear.

On my mountain bikes I get 2-3 years out of the disk brake pads, not sure of mileage but it'll be low. My average MTB ride is 5-8 miles vs. my average road bike ride of 50-70 miles.

Out of this I wouldn't say the rim brakes last longer, it's just that on the mountain bike I'm constantly on the brakes, often hard, so it's not even remotely comparable.

That said, hydraulic disk brakes are pretty much an absolute requirement on a mountain bike if you're riding in any kind of terrain, so it's a moot point. I wouldn't want a rim brake mountain bike even if you paid me to drive it!

Whereas on a road bike I don't care either way, the brakes aren't that important.

Telegram runs on multiple OSes and mobile devices. Each app is separate. Each app is maintained by just a handful of people.

> Traffic lights prevent car movement, at other junctions the lane is set back, and road is elevated to the level of the cycle lane, creating a natural speed bump.

There are virtually no intersections like that in the US where there are barrier separated cycle tracks, nor do they have separate signals for cyclists. And the intersection configuration you're referring to will not work for mid-block intersections due to lack of necessary space.

The one intersection I know of[1] that meets some of the criteria you mention was studied and they found that turning motorists yielded to cyclists 87% of the time. That doesn't sound very safe to me (more than a 1 in 10 chance a motorist won't yield when I go through the intersection).

In a real sinking ship, people on board can bail. They can man the pumps. They can close and secure water-tight doors. They can used wedges and a hammer to block the openings (as Tom Scott tried at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXC6U0NfJg8 ).

People are strange... good handwashing standards are likely as important as masks for preventing Covid transmission, but that never got politicized or became controversial for some reason. Also, wearing non-N95 masks appears to be most effective as a means of preventing aerosolized droplets from infected people from spreading to others in public situations. The full PPE system is more for protecting nurses and doctors working with severely ill patients from getting infected.

But you assume that there is one word to describe the characteristics.

If such a word doesn't exist, you might as well name it after a person instead of trying to invent a new word.
Nobody will use small-arms against a tank because it has no effect. That is the point.

There are no perfect weapons, tanks are vulnerable to ATGMs but if used correctly will overrun an ATGM positions. Ita a game of rock papper sciscors but with more than three options :D.
As the sibling comment says, I'm not arguing that PUFAs are bad per se but that the reason why vegatable oils are bad is because of PUFAs, namely the n-3/n-6 ratio. So you are correct about my innitial comment:

>One could reasonably phrase the question this way: what evidence is there that polyunsaturated fatty acids are healthy?

This comment is not worded the best way. But I point out later what I meant:

>Regarding your point about omega 3 and 6: yes, they are necessary, but that doesn't make vegatable oil "good." Additionaly, there may be too much omega 6 in many vegetable oils

You are also technically correct in saying 'However none of what you've posted here says "polyunsaturated fats are bad"' as that includes my own comments, which never directly said polyunsaturated fats are bad, only that vegetable oil is bad. I admit that my innitial wording should have been better.

>The statement I responded to is a gross mischaracterization which lacks the nuance that PUFAs are important for the diet, but the amount we consume them in is what's important.

The statement you responded to does not mention PUFAs at all. In regards to my earlier comment, it is not a "gross mischaracterization" but semantics. That it "lacks the nuance" of qualifying the statement to "oils high in PUFAs" rather than PUFAs themselves is not relevant to the argument of whether vegetable oils are healthy compared to lard and meat, being that the latter two also have PUFAs. What is then meant is this:
(Meat) protien is healthy even if one consumes 200g a day. protein itself is therefore healthy. Same can be said about some carbs. For an admittedly extream example, sodium is not healthy, and neither is cholride. When we say food x contains y amount of sodium we do not mean pure sodium. Since usual consumption of PUFAs found in vegetable oil exceeds a healthy ratio, it is reasonable to question the necessary assumption that "PUFAs are healthy" which is the entire extent to which I said 'PUFAs are bad' that is, not at all. This isn't as stong of a question when it comes to meat because taken as a whole it must be "healthy enough" as it is naturaly consumed by the species and also has lower concentrations to begin with. All this leads to the fact that when people talk about PUFAs, they are talking about vegetable oils, which is a misnomer technically spesking but that is how it has developed. But even not reading my statement that way it still does not read PUFAs are bad.

You're stuck using things like that. For work, you're stuck choosing from what's available, because the work is to be done now, not later.

If choosing I'd go with Mac for work. They have hardware that is reliable, and software that is approachable. Unless it's 3-4 levels deep into MS tech, I'd be confident the Mac can handle it.

If I was starting a new project for myself, like a game or a SaaS thing, then I'd go with some Debian or Arch peppered with a RoFi search/command thing, and a window manager akin to i3. A development machine, entirely geared towards looking at and making of code.

But if time wasn't an issue I would not jump on any of the things available to me. They are all largely misguided with relation to my goals. None of them are particularly enabling. All of them are better than center-aligned Comic Sans in a Word.app document, but none of them integrate my prior knowledge, or even the projects I previously did. Every new project is entirely new anyways.

Computers kinda went the sellout route circa 2012, the PC makers do what they understand will sell well, and there aren't any projects that are different enough to warrant an interest. The commercial offering is geared towards the common journeyman programmer, in it's entirety. There are no niche computing devices, I'd expect to see thousands of those, but still there are a handful at best.

There is like one model of a 3-year old Thinkpad that I'd buy, but it doesn't get me excited enough to actually do that. I'd put some Linux on it, with flare.

I have strong opinions. I have the 20+ years of experience to have formed them.

If I were to take a job or a gig in coding ever again, I'd ask the employer for a machine and figure it out from there. I don't care what it is. As my employer, you make these decisions and suffer their consequences.

I'm just here to figure it out, clock out and go home, where you will never, ever call or message me. You got your 8 hours, and they are as you made them come out. Get screwed.
In retrospect, something very shady about those deals they made. There may have been more contagion than let on. Or FTX themselves was financially tied to those assets, and was the true actor swindling people through ponzi yield farming schemes.

Make sure the serverless model include all gimmick you currently have such as firewall, waf, cache, ssl termination, load balancer, current traffic levels etc.etc.

The OS was steadily and visibly improving. However, once it reached maturity, Apple decided to throw all care (and its own HIGs) out of the window. And now the OS has moved from stagnation to steady degradation.
It's so strange that every year that online content gets more addicting and exciting, school gets more and more boring and standardized. When I was in high school, the big issue du jour (this was between 2005-2015) was that all of the elective classes at my high school (European Literature, History of the Bible, Advanced Creative Writing, etc.) were going to be paved to make way for English 9-12.

I've talked to some high schoolers that go to the same school recently and it's nothing like when I went. All of the exterior doors are now locked with passcodes, everyone is very closely surveilled, most of the exciting electives have been cut or are on the chopping block, and if you're late to class the teacher is supposed to lock you out and you have to report back to the office.

I can hardly blame kids for taking every spare second to look at their phones. What a nightmare. I'm expecting my first child soon and I'm definitely not sending them to full-time school.
