You assume everyone has extra 200$ to pay. For someone living in a low wage country, it's hard to pay that much, even if you produce a multiple of that value in theory

The design with hot/cold storage makes it much more interesting than FDB for some use cases. FDB is an excellent DB with very strong operational guarantees, TigerBeetle seems to be specialized for financial data and to optimize perf/cost ratio.

Both are great

Jesus dude,just say it was a mistake to call it free forever. How can you be a founder or whatever, have a product and not expect people to judge the words your website had, or the words you say? You should know it comes with the territory.

Doesn't matter how hard you guys worked to be profitable, it's about building trust and relationship with your audience.

On paper this looks smart, but when you hit a but that triggers under very specific conditions (weird bugs happen more often as you scale), you are gonna wish you had tracing for that.

The ideal setup is that you trace as much for some given time frame, if your stack supports compression and tiered storage it becomes cheap er

I think in practice it has to do with some libs (eg jdbc drivers) that would be relying on synchronized. If the performance with vthreads was much worse for some cases it would be a bit of failure

Don't forget FoundationDB

Well put. I wouldn't want to ride with my kids with a 3000w bike breezing pass me in the bike lane at 45km/h

Sure! But those were not ordinary people but special disciples, who had accumulated alot of blessings over a long time, thus were able to meet the Buddha and become enlightened with a couple of sentences from the Buddha. Still, the Buddha himself certified their enlightenment, they didn't go around claiming it themselves. Huge difference.

Claiming that someone attains Arhat (or Arahant, if you are used to Theravada texts) with just a couple of meditation retreats is just wild. Because the 9 dhyana, or 9 samadhi, or 9 Juana corresponded to the level of wisdom of an Arhat. It corresponds to enlightenment in Theravada, and in Mahayana too - just not the "biggest" one.

So it's actually very harmful to do these claims; each dhyana (or jhana) level corresponds to a certain level of wisdom, and you are supposed to have less and less afflictions as you move up. The problem with meditation training is that is very common (and easy) to get sidetracked for 10 years thinking you have attainment but you are stuck. The Chinese style is to find a good teacher, an enlightened teacher, a so called Good Knowing Advisor who can certify your attainment or put you on the right track. Because otherwise it's just wishful thinking.

Best or luck to the author, but like the GP said, have some humility and find a competent, certified teacher. Making false claims, even out of ignorance will prevent you from accessing the proper instructions in the future.

I see your point, but in my experience you can ramp up some eg: Java developer real quick; and in a couple of months they can quickly start to become more productive than with Java.

There are alot of caveats here, and it highly depends on the teams, projects, maturity, quality of tools, and so on, but there are not alot of weird concepts in clojure that makes it that hard to understand (as a counterpoint to eg: rust borrow checking rules, or C++ templating, and so on).

The hard part with clojure is having just enough discipline to keep things in check.

It's just different maturity stages of different products. It's very hard not to add features when your bottom line depends on it.

Same, I have two powerline APs that deliver ethernet+wifi, more than enough for chromecast/netflix/etc. The only issue i have is sometimes clients don't choose the best APs.

It's woefully short sighted, as it misses the long-term prospect of economic output, as most classes of people you mentioned provide some economic benefit in one way or another. Cynicism should be precise, in my opinion.

At this point, we all should point to personalized diets. I'm vegetarian for many years now, yet I started to have iron deficiency. B12 is perfectly fine. My wife is also vegetarian, her B12 and iron are fine.

You should keep an eye on your b12/iron/protein/whatever levels, but each individual requires a different approach.

Don't have a horse in the race. Isn't Israeli constitution specifically about the Jewish people, as a ethnic, religious group? I read it discriminates against interfaith marriages, etc

Infrastructure as code. You define your infra in a couple of files, then terraform builds it against eg: aws.

There is a flag you can pass to the JVM to emit a log when a thread is pinned. It can also log a stack trace to show the call stack.

Congrats on the (kinda) launch. I was curious to see what you guys were up to. The blog post is pretty detailed, and with good insights. Reducing modern app development complexity to mixing data structures sounds like a good abstraction. I'm sure you thought really hard about the building blocks of Rama and you know your problems better than most of the hn crowd.

Now, the really hard part becomes selling. If companies start using your product to get ahead, that will be the real proof, otherwise its "just" tech that is good on paper.

On a side note, did you guys got any inspiration from clojure? I see lots of interesting projects propping up from clojure people...

Best of luck!

Veganism is actually a spectrum, as one can always find some connection to animals and their suffering. And you don't need to buy into it, you can go with your own definition.

To me it sounds you have just a bunch of excuses to avoid actually doing anything.

Can we start calling them analog bikes instead? As a guitar player, acoustic sounds very weird.

This is the Mediterranean. I am sure most countries know the location of most vessels. If a rich guy would try to cross in wooden plank we would call him adventurer, and I'm sure the effort to rescue him would be far greater.

By not saving people in the Mediterranean, it acts as a deterrent to future attempts.

To put it in another way, business doesn't care what language it is written as long as you ship it fast and it passes QA.

Electron gets the job done, and you can tap a huge pool of devs.

It's to drive engagement. Why give you exactly what you want, when they can make you click some other stuff? There's no real competition, and if there were, the competition would soon realize it would have more revenue if it used the same strategy.

You can bet that somewhere, someone was looking at some A/B testing with these "features" and they saw an uplift of X% in revenue, so why not do it?

At this point we are basically nitpicking over the Internet, but even if you want to take a journey just for the sake of the trip, a map is still very useful.

Most of the human endeavors (art, science, etc) are facilitated by having teachers. Spiritual advancement is no different and in my book, anyone who thinks different is delusional. You may be perfectly happy with no teacher, but you are leaving out a huge chunk of it by navigating on your own. Of course you are free to disagree, but I think it is essential to know about the range of possibilities before deciding if it's worth to have a teacher, and most people simply have no idea.

You have the order reversed. In Buddhism, you learn to let go of attachments, and because of that you let go of smoking, alcohol, etc. It's not the other way around.

It is not necessary but you won't make much progress without one. Spiritual practice without a teacher is like navigating without a map, you may end up in America thinking it's India.

If you are somewhat serious about spiritual practice, of course you should find someone who walked some of the path already, otherwise it's impossible for you to know - by definition, you haven't walked the path yet so you don't really know.

Unless they want "read your writes", otherwise bugs start appearing "why isn't the data i just put showing"?

Do people actually consider Alibaba and GCP? I would wager that most of the potential customer base of the two don't intersect.

As I understand it, structured concurrency is part of the same deliverable, tracked in this JEP: https://openjdk.org/jeps/428

Here's the example from the JEP:

    Response handle() throws ExecutionException, InterruptedException {
        try (var scope = new StructuredTaskScope.ShutdownOnFailure()) {
            Future<String>  user  = scope.fork(() -> findUser());
            Future<Integer> order = scope.fork(() -> fetchOrder());
    
            scope.join();           // Join both forks
            scope.throwIfFailed();  // ... and propagate errors
    
            // Here, both forks have succeeded, so compose their results
            return new Response(user.resultNow(), order.resultNow());
        }
    }

Most of the time, 1 gamer = 1 card; for crypto, it's like a dozen guys run hundreds if not thousands of GPUs. It's basically hoarding a finite resource.
