I'm not sure a game needs transactions. It seems to me that entity streaming concepts are a better fit: reading from an event queue and consistently reconciling the state over time. Like the sorted top-n in the example,…
Have you taken a look at the various test harnesses for video encoding/decoding, or consider publishing a standalone one yourself? I get a bit-for-bit rewrite can have some advantage but it's hard to know if the AI…
I have a legit laminar flow hood (airclean 600, 32 inch) in my home for plant tissue culture. I gotta say, I thought it was going to be easy street to sterile culture- it was not. Sterile protocol matters so much that I…
One thing the other blog post missed and this post misses too is that you don't need Kafka to use Debezium with Postgres. This gives you a pretty seamless onramp to event streaming tools as you scale.
I've spent my entire career developing databases (oracle, cassandra, my own database startup). Knowing if your workload is read or write heavy is one of the first questions when evaluating database choice, and is…
Stream processing/materialization engine written in rust that can be compiled to wasm. Graffiti art.
Is there a definition of a "security update"? Software has an infinite number of bugs and it is cost infeasible to fix them all. If it's years down the road, the engineers that wrote the code may be long gone.
Paying poorly would bias you to candidates who will accept poor wages. Good candidates, even if they are young and inexperienced, can have a high market rate.
You could also use a temporal table.
SQL in the context of a single query struggles with a composable features. But looking slightly outside the scope of queries with assignment statements and view/materialization dags then you start getting some of that…
Most technology advances are not labor replacing but rather labor augmenting. For example, LLMs could make teachers much more productive in the classroom but it would be unlikely to replace teachers entirely.
Price gouging is often seen as immoral because it involves high prices without a justifiable reason. It is often considered in absence of welfare analysis, even if the middle class can afford the price increase, it can…
Usually you don't consider health insurance to be a moral hazard in this way. However, in healthcare, a moral hazard can occur when people use more healthcare services because the cost for them is low.
What is the role of an engineering manager exactly? I've been thinking about this question for awhile and I get wildly different answers depending on who I ask. It seems to me that an engineering manager contributes to…
When a company takes an action solely to limit competition with no consumer benefit, they should be immediately investigated for antitrust behavior.
The more people you survey, the higher the confidence that the questionnaire is representative of the entire population, or the 'confidence interval'. Since the population was randomly sampled & non-responses don't…
The topic for this questionnaire is "student life, academics, athletics", which is an important part of the question when determining if non-responses are important. In this case ChatGPT gets it correct, but explains…
Given the topic is "student life, academics, and athletics", would you care about the non-responses? If the topics correlate well to non-responses then you'd have a reason to care about the missing results. The best…
Twitter's actions seems like retaliation against the employee for enabling other employees to collect evidence of discrimination. Performance reviews often exist to reduce the companies liability when firing people off,…
What they did was collude to control supply of lessors by setting rates so there would be less competition. This is the definition of collusion and almost textbook anti-trust. The question for anti-trust cases like this…
The consumer market ban happens when the FCC refuses to certify any new devices so they are not eligible for import for the US consumer market.
"The action we take today covers base station equipment that goes into our networks. It covers phones, cameras, and WiFi routers that go into our homes. And it covers rebranded or ‘white label’ equipment that is…
Trade restrictions are not good for our economy. Huawei and ZTE's main competitors are mostly US based companies so they will see protection from competition with this policy. While you may see the national security…
I have a Onewheel and I was ejected after it suddenly died even though the battery reported a half charge. The accident was not my fault and I was injured from it. I don't believe the product is as safe as you imply.
It depends on the buy back price for if this scheme benefits customers or not. Lets say I'm nabisco and I tell grocers that instead of putting my product on sale and potentially take a loss that I'll buy back that…
