Depends on the project. We have some that use PostgreSQL backed queues. Some using Redis. As you get more traffic RDBMS resources are precious - wasting them on queues starts to become a poor tradeoff. Redis is so generally useful we te

And if the algorithm came out with the reverse result - an 80 female/20 male split, then the right-leaning opinion would call the outcome impossible (tech does have a strong left-wing bias!). I'm not sure your theoretical example

Your solution seems to assume only one thing will be accessing what is being mutated at once. If another thread comes in and gets a cart (e.g. maybe the user reloads the page) and they aren't waiting on the operation to be processed a

My assumption has always been that the "Pro" line is aimed at content creators. Because in lots of professional work you would want a plethora of ports which Apple doesn't give you. When they started removing ports I use I s

It's certainly fairly simple to use queues for straightforward, independent actions, such as sending off an email when someone says they forgot their password. It's less obvious to me how your proposal lines up with things that a

This was my thought. I wish they spent that area on giving me more cores. But whatever. I hope AMD starts using more than 1 chiplet for laptops. Until they do an AMD laptop is limited to 4 cores.

Also, most languages are not sinking ships. Certain uses of them are of course. But even languages this site hates, such as C, C++, C#, and Java have very long lives ahead of them for certain uses. Obviously C++ vs Rails... well, you&#x2

That's when you buy it. I'm not an accountant, but AFAIK if someone gave you stock for performing a service you would pay taxes on it at that point in time. Then if you sold it you would pay taxes on the difference in value. I t

Legalizing drugs is the best thing the US could do with respect to the cartels. Not only would it reduce profits, it would give producers an arbiter to go to when there are disputes rather than forcing them to rely on their own version of

Rust doesn't let you have a mutable reference while you have immutable ones. It's only a problem in Rust because mutating the underlying data would cause problems for chunks of code using the immutable data. But in Clojure it&#x2

A while back it was in the news that school issued laptops had their webcams remotely activated by administration during non school hours. So yeah there's been at least one case.

Reminds me of the an article a while back talking about how via studying tree rings and sediment, that scientists think California experienced back-to-back 200 year droughts starting around the year 850.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It is exactly those plunderers, enslavers, and colonizers that, well, colonized the new world and built their economies on top of slavery which eventually became independent countries.

I do something similar, except don't assign to a number. My back of the envelope estimates are: hours, days, weeks, months. This gives people enough information as to whether or not a change is worth it. If the difference between, sa

You're basically saying scientists can become good programmers if they become professional programmers. Of course they can be, and I doubt anyone would argue that. Some of the best programmers I know have zero college education at al
