Creator of Apache CouchDB here. Fireproof is a very clever system for building secure, collaborative apps. Your apps can work offline and when connected automatically sync changes to local storage and display them immediately to the UI. It

My understanding is it’s from car racing. Putting sandbags in during qualifying to make min weight. Then removed during the race to make the car lighter and faster.

Anecdote: about 2-3 years ago I was using about 10g/day kratom and 1gm/day caffeine to deal with chronic fatigue and muscle pain. I was dependent on both for about 12 months just to function (without them I had a hard time getting

Here’s a link that describes the Couchstore file format. It’s the storage engine for Couchbase and is essentially the same design as CouchDB. https://github.com/couchbaselabs/couchstore/wiki/Format

It _is_ append only. But doesn’t use flat files. The main storage files have 2 different immutable btrees to find documents (by id and by sequence num). And it does have mvcc for both storage and secondary indexes. Internally it has transac

Really? A spiders reaction to caffeine is your reason? I just quit caffeine. I'm ready for some conformation bias to justify my decision, but this is pretty weak.

Or some sort of cleaning mechanism on the sensor. A "wiper" if you will.

One very morbid question I have is were some of the jumpers actually pushed? Some of the pictures you see people crowding to the few available edges, a crush of bodies trying to breath. Wouldn't some of the people on the edges have bee

It claims to be a useful tool for pen testing. I call bullshit. Destroying a device is hardly the same as penetrating a device. Does this have a legitimate use case?

The reason I wrote my long response was because you said exercise was painful. Sure, if you overdo it, it can be painful to anyone. But it's not supposed to painful. Uncomfortable sure, tiring sometimes yes. But not painful. Afterward

Then they should have invested in companies that have stricter controls, or put their money somewhere safer w/ more transparency. That some investors are unsophisticated doesn't absolve them of liability.

Sure, with forced acquisitions when the business is failing or non-competitive. If the business is otherwise competitive but the owners sued out of existence, it's nonsensical for new owners to dismantle it.
