But also wrote that he didn’t trust the humans behind the AI.

Sorry for the confusion. I meant wary as in beware.

The parent comment explains it. The acronym makes buries the idea one level deeper. When people learn it means Consistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance, they get an illusion of understanding but in reality they’ve only decoded the acronym.

It’s the first heading in the article. The first thing I wanted to convey.

Absolutely! I’ll dive into this a bit more in the second section, where even technical acronyms can be considered harmful because they are learned at a surface level and then spread at meme-like speed.

For instance most people don’t know that even though both CAP and ACID contain consistency, they do not refer to the same idea. In CAP it’s about linearizability, while in ACID it’s about preserving invariants.

ah yes that one. thanks!

My first art work was a drawing of a bunch of couches flying. I loved it. I came back here to comment about it without noticing I’d lose track of it. I tried searching in the collection but I couldn’t find it, so if anyone finds a sketch of a bunch of couches, I’d appreciate a link.

Somehow this made this experience even more wonderful.

Yeah maybe…

I'm not into jewelry myself but these pieces are amazing. Maybe someday I'll buy a necklace for my wife here. Hope this takes off!!!

Just started trying to write once a day in my website https://devz.cl

I set it up a few months ago to share gamedev, ideas, stories. So far it has been fun to see the comments here on HN. Not sure where else to share it. And the most rewarding aspect about it is being able to reflect daily/regularly about myself, software, or stuff in general.

I'm trying to get up to speed with my english writing. With spanish as a first language, english is a bit awkward to write, so this is good practice too.

Also I'm trying to implement indie web stuff on it. I'm limited to only stuff supported on static sites, but for example with the help of webmentions.io i was able to set them up on my website without requiring a server.

sorry about that. compressed it into a 237 KB jpeg

I was reflecting about this and it may be cultural. In spanish we do have some acronyms they are not as widespread as in english.

Yep. That's what they are. Useful ideas. The issue is treating them as rules or excuses for early/unnecesary abstractions.

Ahh interesting. So it's Java convention/best practices being ported to other languages. Nothing wrong with using "simple" that if you explain it that way. I stand myself corrected.

Sorry if the title mislead you. To me criticizing SOLID and Clean Code directly is like beating a dead horse, so here I wanted to criticize the way they are presented because that's a big reason why it's successful.

Oh please don't confuse it with an aversion to formalism. It's quite the opposite. ACID, CAP and others were fantastic research when they came up. But now they are outdated and reductive of the real implications of running databases and distributed systems. That's why I mentioned PACELC being one of my favorite design principles in this matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACELC_design_principle

My criticism of this "Acronym Marketing" is that software engineers get stuck rallying behind acronyms as if they were timeless but to me ACID and CAP are outdated and it would be better if engineers really got into the consequences of running complex systems as you said, and not only repeating acronyms as if they covered the whole story.

OLAP vs OLTP have become marketing talkpoints from Databricks and friends to get people into paying for managed distributed systems when in reality for plenty of workloads Postgres runs just fine. People get stuck in the dichotomy without getting a further understanding of the underlying technology.

Nothing of this is confusing to me. Its reductive.

To be fully fully transparent I did use LLMs (asking stuff in the google search bar) in some phrases I was having trouble to find the right words since English is not my native language.

But I’m glad you noticed I did try to write it all by my own with my own style as flawed as it could be

Glad you noticed I’m not a native English speaker. The .cl tld is a small hint of that.

I’m trying to retake reading and writing since after joining the workforce I stopped reading books and writing and I noticed that my grammar skills were deteriorating.

I don’t know what’s wrong with that sentence to be honest or if this is sarcasm (I’m not good at reading sarcasm) but I’d love to know what’s the issue with it.

Ohh I don’t remember adult faces either. I do remember some my best friends face but nothing else

Been writing a bit on my blog: https://devz.cl

And been working on a Mario-with-guns game concept: http://devz.cl/posts/what-if-mario-had-a-gun/

Thought it’d be a short concept to get from start to finish but the things you need to implement and plan for in a video game can be near infinite and decision paralysis is a real problem for me.

Does polymarket then have a full profile of its users to be able to distinguish insider trades vs noise?

Genuine question as I haven’t used the site and everything I know about them are comments and some articles.

I think his answer is just even more work. In this case it could be services where in general and for historical reasons people want to interact with people.

Interesting. Then tokens would be the best encoding we have for thought so far for communication.

I was thinking the same sans AI. What other industries require low latency high throughput transactions that haven’t been served yet?

Using it for a year or so and then try another OS is my guess

Or just popularity (perceived impact vs actual impact)

No. The most similar precedent was the Panama invasion and arrest of Noriega.

The Venezuelan diaspora is of approximately 8 million people. The current Venezuelan population is around 28 million. That’s a huge percentage of the population you a disregarding. And note that most still have relatives in their country of origin and they are also supportive of US intervention. At the end the oil is the least of their concerns. It’s easy to disregard them from a moral and legal point of view, but the suffering of this whole continent because of that dictator is very real.

Got it. Forgot that rule.
