Very interesting. It was absolutely the same in Soviet Union. I still remember formula from my childhood: 3 empty bottles (10 kopeks each) + 3 kopeks = 1 full bottle of lemonade (33 kopeks). I think it was a good thing,…
This conspiracy theory that telegram is a secret KGB project and all bans are kind of promotion campaign - I heard it a lot of times. More frequently as a joke but sometimes you start thinking: "what if?"
It's shameful that there is no real opposition in Russia. Looking on Latin America it's always ends with something violent. On the other side: in Asia it's usually transforms into something not that bad, e.g. South…
In 2001 we started a GSM-operator on Compaq Server (it was before they were bought by HP) with whole 1Gb(!) of RAM and 2x10Gb SCSI disks. It served up to 70K of subscribers, call center with 30-40 employees, payment…

Yeah. And I don't know whether Jeff Beck was the first who played "A Day in the Life" but he did that magnificiently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHHY3eRUMsM&ab_channel=feedb...
I understand motivation for remix of "Let it be" - McCartney was very dissatisfied with "wall of sound" by Spector. And it's already done. But "Sgt. Pepper" - I think the only motivation is to try squeeze a little bit…

I don't see anything wrong in measuring gallons per mile and measuring in yards and other non-metric systems when it's something local. Maybe it's convinient if you live somewhere where everybody accustomed to that.…
It seems NO. In Soviet Union considerable part was in cooperation. And more in Stalin era then later. Citing Russian wikipedia: > By the end of the 1950s, there were more than 114 thousand workshops and other industrial…

"Summa Technologiae" by Stanislaw Lem. It's the book about everything existing, possible and impossible too. For me it gives motivation to learn new, think about something new, try to find limits of what I already know.…

I always thought that garum is the same as fish sauces in South Eastern Asia. Differences must be same as differences between Thai/Vietnamese/Japanese sorts. You just leave salted fish to ferment under sun and then…
I used NTFS with linux a year ago. It's read-write and suitable if you need to access files on Windows partition. It was OK but not great: I used it to share media files between Windows and Linux and soon I noticed that…
At least it's possible to write COM in a measurable time. I did it in C++ although that was a pain. It became much easier in .NET. CORBA - I did not even finish reading "Introduction to CORBA". A book of 500+ pages.
I think you were right in RISC prediction. Starting from some point (Pentium Pro I suppose?) even x86 CPUs became RISC internally CISC externally.
Surprisingly my LSD experience led me to acceptance of OSI Model ;) Before that I thought that it was purely academical masturbation without any real connection to reality.
Psychodelics are not something that one will use everyday. From the list: " psilocybin, psilocyn, dimethyltryptamine (DMT) , ibogaine, mescaline, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) , ketamine, and…
Yes. A lot of programmers are lost without step-by-step debug. That's why concurency problems becames unsolvable for them.
So it's a generation of graphql on-fly, right? I conclude that it will be incompatible with hasura Allow-list (or lead to explosion of Allow-list for all possible combinations which is impossible in practice) So it…

I like hasura too. But honestly absolutely the same result could be achieved with REST too. GraphQL is not that different from REST.
Strange, but my impressions are opposite. We are using hasura (which is written in Haskel), I'm interested in dgraph.io (which is golang). I had terrible experience writing graphql-service in typescript. I finished it…
It's only natural that coming from such terrible mess as javascript ecosystem author is trying to solve problems he encountered in past. I wrote comment to him: It's only natural that you're trying to find solutions for…
