Ah yes, hunger induced delirium.

I knew I'd get this. Yes, true, but 1898 was the date of "annexation"[0].

I suppose if you consider 1898 a few years ago.

Care to provide any reasons?

This brings to mind a question: would it be possible to run simply run multiple instances of SQLite on independent hosts that are backed by single shared filesystem, such as AWS's EBS? Of course they'd be blocked on writes but it does seem that SQLite3 supports the read concurrency.

This is absolutely the case. IMO the main benefit provided by containerization is reproducibility. Scaling and other positives are just a product of this.

Is this not the classic problem with all censorship? Of course the majority (and I) would agree that the language used is not productive, but the question of whether something should be allowed, despite its "goodness" (or lack there of), is much more nuanced. I think an argument can be made that the definition of a public forum has changed.

The odd part is this:

> £9 for a fully boxed un-repaired Model B.

Why is he selling them un-repaired if the whole point is repairing them?

Absolutely. Here's the thing though, in this hellscape you might as well take advantage, and if these units of work can be generated like so, then its quite easy to become a "top performer" by adjusting your commit habits.

> selfish need to make the job more interesting.

I'll admit I have been tempted to stray down this path in the past. I think for me it was the fact that the company refused to provide any time for training or improvement, leading to the desire to chose tech in projects that would build skills rather than being the most expedient.

One thing you may be missing is that a lot of the work usability over the past decade was not with Java itself, but rather other JVM languages.

As far as performance there is no doubt that the modern JVM is quite fast. Vert.x benchmarks are consistently on par with Actix and other low level frameworks.

Out of curiosity how do you use a DNS service as a database?

I thought it was more to do with Qualcomm's SOCs having integrated radios for the atypical US bands, something they'd have to add on otherwise?

I think its entirely dependent on how the slack is structured. Its great for quick communication amongst a small team on the same project and near essential if the team is remote. On the other hand if every PM in the company can ping engineers on a whim then obviously there can be problems.

Ah, I misunderstood. In that case gitpod.io is exactly what you are looking for, a cloud IDE with VS Code (theia) with an integrated preview pane.

Serious question: why? I think its very useful when an editor in a browser like with Repl.it, GitPod, and this project, but when the editor is running on your desktop using your own browser seems much nicer. You can use all the devtools, extensions, etc that you are accustomed to.

Btw the theia editor, pretty much VS Code, does have this feature [0]

How exactly is that polluting? Do you think he just abandoned the pool with the balls still present?

I can see an argument that its wasteful however.

> Two things I haven't seen anyone mention that seem important

Perhaps because those items are either obvious or add nothing to the conversation.

Alternatively: the invasive ones are only supported by chromium browsers.

The rotary in the article is not at all the same as a Wankel.

I'm also using a Java / Kotlin based solution with java-dataloader [0] and have been quite pleased with the performance.

To be fair, there is also the second definition of rocky, as in "That was a rocky situation", or unsteady / unstable.

I agree though its a perfectly fine name.

Of course you can build these elements into your own implementation, but there is value in a higher level standard that has these items guaranteed. If a product advertise a GraphQL api you know immediately there will be no trouble with determining what the api can return and accept.

There is one huge advantage that i don't believe REST can solve: a GraphQL server returns a schema that tells you exactly what can be queried. When using REST endpoints you are at the mercy an API's documentation, which is often quite poor. I know there are tools like Swagger that solve this problem to some extent, but its not baked into the standard like with GraphQL.

There are definitely some cons, but I don't think the learning curve of the query language is one of them. It's simple enough that you can easily pick it up after 15 mins of reading the docs. There is also a schema proved by every server that tells you exactly what can be queried. This is much nicer than having to refer to documentation of unknown quality before you know what a REST api can provide.

Now actually implementing a server on the other hand is much more difficult.

You are still not thinking of it as a browser. Consider a use case where Deno is the client, not the server. One example is a replacement for piping random curls into bash:

deno run --allow-write=~/.myapp https://myapp.io/install.ts

It works quite well as secure scripting runtime.

That is absurd that AT&T requires the use of a rented gateway for U-verse. I've never had an issue with a another provider refusing to support off the self hardware before, including with a DSL provider, multiple cable companies, and FiOS (Ethernet on ONT).

Who is hanging ornaments on the needles?

I recommend taking a look at Hashicorp's Nomad. I was in a similar situation where I wanted container orchestration but our use case wasn't yet at the point where the complexity of kubernetes was justified. Nomad strikes a great balance. Its single binary and makes it easy to get a cluster up and running. You can run tasks other than docker containers as well.

I'm not saying the term is incorrect at all, but my worry would be that others would consider it pretentious as their first impression.
