We really ought to come up with some new terms in this space... it is just confusing to mix "strong consistency" in with "eventual consistency" in any way.

I’m pretty sure the term came from Google (at least that is where I heard it first described) and just referred to a backend engineer with speciality in this area. Now usually these roles have “distributed systems” in the title, even if you

I wonder if any Romans evidence had any evidence of population-level delirium from lead consumption...

Personally I think an updated camcorder would be incredible. CCD with global shutter and in a pocketable format with modern stabilization, a video analog to the rx100. Way too niche though.

I’ve seen people who seem to know what they’re talking about cast doubt that you could create your own probiotic yogurt in a typical kitchen since other strains are likely to dominate without a sterile environment and careful methods.

In my opinion it will or already has redefined our conceptual models of intelligence - just like physical models of atoms or gravitational mechanics evolved and newer models replace the older. The older models aren't invalidated (all m

If jaw placement is an issue you can get corrective surgery without an apnea diagnosis (AFAIK). There’s a lot of info on Reddit, you can generally tell from your side profile or bite if it is a potential culprit.

It’s way more about control for the free software crowd. I do get it for tools of learning personally - managing your own knowledge base is important.

Fair enough, but this did read that way to me: > why I am very sad that we could not achieve reform without resorting to measures such as threatening the international student admission process

In what way does this or anything else Trump has done or indicated to do advance the state of education towards the goals of the reform you are talking about?

Well I don’t think it was kids still in school telling the truck drivers that so I’m not sure what karma has to do with it.

Nobody will watch anyone's "creations". The TV or whatever device watch on will observe what you and everyone else engage with and how you interact with it and create content for you on the fly, just like Instagram and TikTok

> Often times, "Stream vs. Batch" is discussed as if it’s one or the other, but to me this does not make that much sense really. Just seems like a flawed premise to me since lambda architecture is the context in which streaming

The tooling is pretty easy to learn if scary looking at first and becoming a JVM expert, at least in the context of GC tuning, might take you a week or less. Some of the defaults are surprising though. And I think there is some parallel wit

The lore in the game Morrowind has a similar feel, though in a mythology-history instead of modern history sense, with a lot of Rashomon-style ambiguity.

Flink is designed around streaming first, while Spark is built around batch first and you're likely best off selecting accordingly. Though any streaming application likely needs batch processing to some degree. Latency vs throughput.

That would be because they aren’t meaningfully competing here. They both profit tremendously by the status quo and so do not step on each other’s toes.

My point was more about the two having separate use cases - but Kafka handles write throughput much easier compared to an RDBMS due to lack of transactions and not needing to manipulate the primary table data structures.

Yeah, it's Google and Facebook - not the ISP.

It's more of a commit log/write-ahead log/replication stream than a DBMS - consider that DBMSs typically include these in addition to their primary storage.

Very glad to see an active chapter near me - sounds awesome and I plan on checking it out.
