I've been working remotely on/off for the past decade and vastly prefer it to commuting to an office. It has afforded me the opportunity to live in a corner of the world that I truly love: a quiet and remote 20+ acres property in

I've actually seen your hypothetical in action, but the bug was even more subtle. Assume service A, B and C. A and C both need information from each other which is usually cached. Normally, you'd deploy one service at a time so th

Teaching is a skill and like any other skill, it needs practice. I have immense respect for teachers who have dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft.

Howard Stern makes a risk-free $80M/year for 4 hours of radio 3 days a week. Maybe he could make that much making podcasts, but why risk it ? He's at the tail-end of his career anyway. Do you know a lot of "smart" people

You're being downvoted - maybe because of your tone - but I partially share your sentiment. A good counterexample to "overdistribution", not without its own set of problems, is the LMAX architecture. See: https://

A car attack killed 6 and wounded 30 in Melbourne in January of this year. Granted, attacks are much rarer in Australia. Part of this is attributable to the population difference: all things proportional, you'd expect 13 attacks in the

You seem very sure of yourself. I'm going to be generous and attribute your confident demeanor to a lack of imagination.

What he's saying is that your cure might be worse than the disease. Nobody knows what the effects of mass-confiscation would have on American society, but the range of possibility includes civil war and massive unrest. Most people woul

In areas with strict gun control but access to a black market, mass killings still happen with firearms (see the November 2015 attacks in Paris or the 2017 Quebec City Mosque Attacks). In areas with strict gun control but limited access to

I think you're doing the right thing. The first step towards financial independence is building a reasonable emergency fund. The peace of mind is liberating.

So, your solution is to liquidate a bank that controls 2 T$, employs 265,000 persons and has over 200 B$ in shareholder value? Don't get me wrong, this fraud affected a lot of people but ultimately liquidating the whole thing will have

Ditto that. I also live in AZ. I'm curious; where in rural Arizona are you based off ?

Genuinely curious here. Can you point me to some of these strengthening exercises ?

It certainly does matter. In terms of texture and taste, white tuna may very well be indistinguishable from escolar for a lot of people. It's still much less desirable than white tuna. Japan has banned escolar in 1977, deeming it toxic

I don't mean to nitpick but your explanation is missing a critical detail. The chain of command for operational purposes (military operations) completely bypasses the Joints Chiefs of Staff and goes directly to the Unified Combatant Co

Don't get me wrong, I love AWS. I use ~15 products almost everyday. I actually like how powerful IAM is. But yeah, CloudFormation just sucks. It does. It's painful because it's a really good idea but the configuration format

Liberals as a whole are easy people to sell to. They have a fundamental revulsion to status quo, regardless of how positive it is, and their ears will perk up whenever they hear a point of view which matches their own prejudices. California

Blanket statements like "Cassandra doesn't work" and "Hadoop is a complete waste of hosts for most companies" are unproductive and contribute nothing, unless you can back them with data and real world examples. So,

For better or for worse, Java runs a big chunk of this world. Not running a Java application because "ewww Java is gross" will prevent you from enjoying some of the most exciting database technologies out there.

The point that was made is that multiple (static) classes cannot be declared in the same file, which is 100% false. I'm not arguing that C# is functionally equivalent to Java. There was no mention of "compilation unit" or &qu

There's nothing stopping you from declaring additional static classes inside a class in Java. You can definitely declare multiple classes in a single file.
