Happy to continue :) Where our conversation is at, it's not about RDBMS vs. NoSQL. On the Redis INCR operation example (or an equivalent operation in any database, even in an RDBMS…

Look up the two general problem on youtube. Unless the entire end to end operation is wrapped inside a giant transaction, no system in the world can give you the confirmation. Imag…

let's say you have an object like this when you started: {count: 10, etag: 1}. then for some reason, something failed. when you retry and load the object, you get {count: 12, etag:…

Yep. And the OP also failed to recognize that the whole Ribbon menu could be collapsed making it just looks slightly larger than Notepad.

Everything you said is true. C++ gives you everything you need to be safe. But that's not the point. Rust makes it HARD (or very hard) to do things that are unsafe. It's not what C…

Thanks for the call out! There are definitely companies that go with (A), but in all the companies I've been at, (B) is the model. As others have responded, there are definitely tr…
