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
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
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.…
You didn't understand the original claim which is that because Pi has an infinite decimal representation, every subsequence of it has a repeat
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…

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…
I think we'll simply agree to disagree. But suffice to say that I don't need you to explain love to me or tell me that what I feel isn't "real" love. And simply because we disagree on an adjective some people like to…
Unconditional love is a trope I want to die so badly. It's so.... Selfish? I read it as "You don't matter at all. I'm so big hearted and perfect; isn't it glorious?" I love my kid and wife because of who they are and…
You find it difficult to believe? The person clearly worked hard to achieve this aesthetic. The font even sort of matches the illustrations. This is clearly intentional from my pov. This aesthetic was more important to…
Fair enough and I also agree. Got sloppy towards the end there
I disagree so strongly even though I also found the font horrible. Design is used to communicate. Whether or not you want to communicate "in the clearest way possible" is a choice. There are many other choices to be…
Point is to make the signal to noise on response too low for the scammers to deal with. Today, they can feasibly have a person look at every response and choose the most promising targets. If auto respond to even 0.01%…
People seem confused, but this seems very reasonable to me. Consider flying to some far away location. Would you rather A) A short flight from your local airport to a nearby hub and then transfer to a long haul flight…
