The high numbers here are eye-opening, but the article doesn't shed any light on the process. I'm left with the feeling that opening a restaurant is hard, but there is nothing to chew on in terms of improving the situation as a ci

Not having played with SIMD much myself, does leveraging these instructions for an intensive operation like a sort push other workloads out of the CPU more aggressively than operating on 32 or 64 bits at a time would? In other words, do you

Sincere question: What benefit is there to owning equity in such a company in employee sized quantities?

This isn't how scaling works though. Across all applications the hot data growth outpaces the cold. So if you're designing capacity for exponential growth, the future point at which you stop experiencing exponential growth and onl

Are you more interested in fixing a process or fixing the problem? Sending in-product feedback certainly could work because it's more likely to be seen by product management as it continues to roll in. Support-driven product change req

I think you're spot on. Self driving software seems to me like it will handle the vast majority of driving situations much better than humans could within the 5 year horizon OP is asking about.

Is this a non-sequitur or are you trying to somehow explain the difference between the two drives noted in the comment you are replying to?

Did you read that account's tweets? It's clearly a biased account with an agenda.

Patterns and automation supporting modularization hasn't received the attention that patterns and automation around services has over the past 10 years. In practice, modularization raises uncomfortable questions about ownership which m

That's not at all the case in my state. The state and county operated facilities were huge, and moved a significant number of people through the vaccination process extremely efficiently. For testing, I've been to many facilities.

Healthcare options were a major deciding factor when I pursued entrepreneurship in 2011. Ultimately we decided that the Massachusetts options at the time had sufficient coverage given we didn't yet have children, but the plans were sig

Yes. In the early 2000s Endeca made use of several public ontologies to enhance its information access and summarization products for clients. One particularly compelling example that comes to mind was an ontology involving public companies

It's far easier to enforce information Access control in a services oriented architecture. In a monolith, a developer doesn't even have to use an access controlled API. They can simply access sensitive data through underlying acce

Generally in banking you either separate preauthorization (or reservation of funds) from authorization, or you separate transaction from settlement and you compute an acceptable rate of loss. Why did you decide to go with an escrow model in

Imagine blasting this sequence down to huge numbers of consumers, and letting independent nodes coordinate on intervals in the sequence in order to establish secure one time communications. The bit rate is so high it would be impossible to

Personally, I think ORM has a reasonable use case here, but I also find doing this using SQL to be straightforward and easier to reason about during future refactors. Take a look at JDBI's Repository pattern for a simple compromise bet

Many companies do not provide read access to application databases either, without explicit consent via well-defined process. There are many compliance-related reasons why this is implemented, one of which may be the protection of your cust

Allow biases but penalize the publication of misinformation after the fact. Publishers producing informative content might emerge as the breadwinners and the propagandists will lose revenue.

Some commenters are conflating "separation by content type" with "separation by personal bias." However, I think this idea exists already. The Financial Times, for example.

Prototyping alternative solutions is a cheap way to help uncover trade-offs, and you can do this independently. Attending retrospectives after things go wrong is a good way for experts to introduce their thought processes to less experience

With enough stack space you don't need to decouple your data from your pure functions at all ;-)

In my view our collective interest in CSV as a medium for data distribution has resulted in far too much information loss, and consequently, time wasted on input sanitization, validity checking, and unresolvable conversations about the inte

The distinction you are drawing sounds to me like the difference between "managed" and "unmanaged." My read on whether something is a service or not is, can I make a request of the thing in simple terms, and have the thi

I believe Quicken is behind the recent resurgence of independent mortgage lenders, which was a market all but captured by traditional banks until recently. Services like Rover seem to be displacing kennels for doggy daycare. They should con
