I think you’re understating how many quic implementations exist. Google, Apple, F5, Facebook, Fastly, Cloudflare, Microsoft, AWS all have separate implementations servicing signifi…

Failures while communicating to the external systems (the kv store and elastic in your example) are usually where this falls down. It's easy to build a system that's consistent ~90…

It's very hard for Kafka Connect plugins to maintain consistency in all scenarios - both because of the semantics of some upstream databases, and because of the guarantees the conn…

IRC is excellent, and located around the Bay Area (there are usually at least a few people carpooling down from Oakland) - https://www.insightretreatcenter.org It's the retreat sid…

I think the small upside (a single 5-star rating contributes very little to app ranking) is outweighed by the potential downsides (it can be a turnoff if the user sees that because…

It looks like there's a single 5-star review by "Benedict B." Did you review your own app?
