Happy to continue :) Where our conversation is at, it's not about RDBMS vs. NoSQL. On the Redis INCR operation example (or an equivalent operation in any database, even in an RDBMS). In short, you don't always have the guarantee t

Look up the two general problem on youtube. Unless the entire end to end operation is wrapped inside a giant transaction, no system in the world can give you the confirmation. Imagine this: you issued a write, a few things can happen: 1. Th

let's say you have an object like this when you started: {count: 10, etag: 1}. then for some reason, something failed. when you retry and load the object, you get {count: 12, etag: 3}. how do you know if your previous attempt had succe

1. Beyond just querying, the stored proc spent a lot of time processing data. As in, looping through cursors, making business logic decisions, calculating things, etc. 2. Having the business logic (not just loading the data) inside the stor

The KV store had etag support for conditional writes. Etags are only useful to make sure the data didn't change underneath between your read and your write. Storing the checkpoints along with the mutation was for idempotency. If the ch

Not Dan Luu. And to the other comment, not intentionally hiding my identity. Just that for most of my writing, who I am is irrelevant.

At least two reasons I'm not choosing Go: - Go (the language) is missing the ability to declare something immutable. I don't mean making fields in a struct private then exposing getters. I mean the equivalent of an immutable refer

Yep. And the OP also failed to recognize that the whole Ribbon menu could be collapsed making it just looks slightly larger than Notepad.

Everything you said is true. C++ gives you everything you need to be safe. But that's not the point. Rust makes it HARD (or very hard) to do things that are unsafe. It's not what C++ can or cannot do, it's not what Rust can

Thanks for the call out! There are definitely companies that go with (A), but in all the companies I've been at, (B) is the model. As others have responded, there are definitely trade offs with different models. The way I've seen

I share exactly your sentiment. The snappy on/off is what makes the checkbox satisfying for me. The "ding" whenever you check an item off the list in Wunderlist comes to mind.

It's not about if you should or should not search. It's about how often you have to do that, and how easy it is to search for what you want. It boils down to how much anti pattern a framework/ecosystem has. In this case, thei

Disagree here. This is where I would quote the principles of two other language. From Python: have one way of doing things From Go: explicit is bette than implicit. Is Sdk=... is just a short cut to pull in a handful of framework references

What about the option to just make everything asp.net one single nuget package? And how come other ecosystems/languages don't have this issue? What's the difference? The other question is, why isn't what you posted the d

Thanks! This is what I was looking for (not anymore, sorry switched to a different language/ecosystem for this project). This still begs the question, or my original point still stands—why framework reference vs. nuget reference? I&#x2

Can you build with just these package references? because I did exactly did a while ago and I could not.

The whole point here is that the project does not target the Sdk.Web thing. Yours only works because the project is targeting Sdk.Web (instead of Sdk). When I said console app, I literally meant using the project that you would create if yo

That is exactly the thing. I *do not* want to have the Sdk=...Web/Worker. Imagine this scenario, you started a new project with the Sdk targeting Worker. Then you need that binary to also target web. What do you do? - If you switch the
