Your place of last resort with kafka is simply to replay the message back to the same kafka topic since you know it's up. In a simple single consumer setup just throw a retry count on the message and increment it to get…
I'll throw my hat in the ring for "disagree". Few kinds of work have such clear and unambiguous results as optimization work (its now X% faster!). Few kinds of work have such incredible and detailed tools to guide your…
Sometimes the vibes are wrong, and things go haywire. This is why zero tolerance policies have to be instituted in schools. That doesnt mean the general idea is wrong. Strict adherence to written law will always fail…
Would be really interesting to see what it does with clearly wrong EXIF data
Yeah I'd say kafka is not a great technology if your median and 99ths (or 999ths if volume is large enough) are wildly different which sounds like your situation. I use kafka in contexts where 99ths going awry usually…
Follow on: If you're using kafka to publish messages to multiple consumers, this is even worse as now you're infecting every consumer with data processing issues from every other consumer. Bad juju
I suppose it depends on your message volume. To me, processing 100k messages and then getting a page however long later as the broker (or whatever) falls apart sounds much worse than head of line blocking and seeing the…
And now imagine how easy dealing with email spam would be if the marginal fiscal cost was not 0 like physical spam. All the technology and tools available and less than 1% of the viable spam surface area
> the goal should be to ensure that anyone who wants to do a thing can, with as few third party requirements as possible. This is a good starting point, but if you have no barriers then you get abuse problems which is…
It wouldn't, but it might preclude using (future) optimizations that forgo those de-optimization hooks?
I suppose serializing the JVM state itself to avoid the cold start problem might take advantage of this?
The past decade is a difficult framing to ask the question in. Notable breakthrough results are usually understood in hindsight and a decade just isn't a lot of time for that context and understanding to develop.…
Ignoring inexperience/incompetence as a reason (which, admittedly, is a likely root cause) domain fuzziness is often a good explanation here. If you aren't extremely familiar with a domain and know the shape of solution…
You didn't understand the original claim which is that because Pi has an infinite decimal representation, every subsequence of it has a repeat
This isn't true as you can build an infinite sequence that never repeats. An example sequence in binary is (the number of 0s between each 1 increases by 1 every time) 01001000100001...
True. It would be nice to decouple it from children and expand its scope of economic impact dramatically.
$1000/month is $12,000/year. Thats far far below poverty levels. It needs to be enough that people can choose to supplement in order to engage with luxury consumption. If people are forced to supplement to just survive,…
If UBI is encoded as a negative tax rate at low income levels, it no longer really makes sense to talk about it as applying to all income levels equally. It naturally gets distributed as 1) A check (issued by Social…
Very much agreed that there should be no cliffs. Every dollar earned should at minimum increase your usable cash flow by at least X amount no matter where you are in the income distribution and other tax incentive phase…
My personal position is to abolish the minimum wage and update the tax scale with negative tax rates that support a reasonable quality of life at all income levels. The market will find its own balance for what a true…

If the discussion was about boiling pasta water I'd be on board (e.g. a discussion of the every day). But it's wearing the clothing of science and so falls flat (for me). None of the details turn out to matter for the…
Every time this is posted I want to rebut the water boiling portion. It's finally time. The author gets the details of boiling water wrong. He commits a fairly common error: using his experience of a practical and…
This is unlikely. There are many many theories of how dark matter could be accounted for with ordinary matter that we simply can't detect because our telescopes/etc aren't good enough. Not all of these theories are…
I've vacillated a couple times on whether to respond to you, but apparently you've poked me in a place I can't just ignore and move on from. My goodness you are a sanctimonious asshole. We are disagreeing about how to…
