This reminds me of Altered Carbon's Head in the Clouds, where exceedingly wealthy Bancroft kills prostitutes during sex, because he can afford it.
What if there was a massage parlor downstairs, perfectly legal and allowed, which marketed and sent wealthy patrons upstairs?
But whatever. Aside from the slippery slope argument of OnlyFans which I guess can be dispelled, I think using the raccoons for broader appeal and calling porn "queer" is poor.
Even less popular: I think there's a simple business argument to credit card companies and regulating porn. The sector has way higher fraud, disputes and chargebacks.
According to the commenter, price up while production per capita down makes the product unaffordable or less interesting to a lot of people. It is implied by the commenter that fuel producers should produce more and aim for lower prices.
How does Hacker News work if absolutes like this opinion are the top comment people read first?
Why not say outright that "ideological friction" is about AI usage? Maybe some devops have friction cause when things break at 2am and they get called up they don't want to dig through 500k lines of slop the author can't explain?
And "empty 99% of the backlog everyday" <-> "hire more people to fix the bugs" is illogical. Reviewing slop and fixing bugs make me want to go build houses instead of software.
No one ever got a 2am call to fix something before AI was around! And DevOps understood every line and could fix it quickly (though one wonders how it broke in the first place?).
Meanwhile, back in reality, DevOps now have a tool to help them sort through the slop that already exists.
So, go build houses, nobody cares. But go ahead and try and slow their process down with "the way you like to do things", see how that goes.
Agreed. Most plausible reason they "can't remember" the good solution is because they were vibe coding and didn't really understand what they were doing. Research mode my ass.
Compared to Redis, TigerBeetle has strong durability, and an LSM storage engine to page incremental updates to disk, so it can support 10+ TiB data sets without running into snapshot stalls or OOM.
If it's gonna fit on one machine I'm picking Postgres, Mongo or Redis before TigerBeetle and let's be honest it's not the difference between the 4 that will make it not fit on one machine.
And to be fair, those are all great general purpose solutions. For example, you could also use Postgres or Redis as queue, instead of say Redpanda or Kafka.
But our customers need separation of concerns in their architecture. While they could put the cash in the general purpose filing cabinet, they actually want the separation of concerns between OLGP system of reference (string database, i.e. PG) in the control plane, and OLTP system of record (integer/counting database, i.e. TB) in the data plane.
Yes, sharding would kill performance under contention, which characterizes many OLTP workloads (e.g. top ten bestseller list on Black Friday, super stocks like NVIDIA, the big 4 banks on a switch, PhonePe/Google Pay on UPI etc)
