    Not getting into which solution is better, but Capture One is at least 50% more expensive than Lightroom. It's a material difference.

    Venezuela has reserves. Relative to the gulf it doesn't produce any meaningful amount of oil from those reserves.

    BCBS CA revenue is approximately $25B. The total of above is $25.6M. That's 0.1%. You may view those salaries as appropriate for leading companies of this size or immoral and outra…

    Work jobs in the order they were submitted within a partition key. This selects the next partition key that isn't locked. You could make it smarter to select a subset of the jobs c…

    I think all your points are valid, but I've also had good results using workspaces for environments. Here's generally how I structure my terraform primarily targeting AWS. - 1 Terr…

    Maybe there aren't too many itches left to scratch? Between Dynamodb, Cassandra, and Scylla seems like that problem set is somewhat a solved problem? I know those products continue…

    I've found actors (Akka specifically) to be a great model when you have concurrent access to fine grained shared state. It provides such a simple mental model of how to serialize t…

    Makes sense as a theoretical problem. Have you ever seen data that suggests it's a practical problem? Seems like one could identify "should be cached forever but wasn't" using etag…

    This has been the common/best practice for so long I don't understand why TFA is proposing something different.

    More than highlight they'll do schema validation against inline SQL strings also.

    With due respect, I think you've misunderstood the single-table design pattern. Because you've introduced static hash keys ("user", "email", etc) you've had to manually partition w…

    Please look at your individual situation and don't take this suggestion blindly. If you've already contributed significantly to your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum it can defi…

    It does. But if you're concerend about this (and many of the other items mentioned), you can control access to those features using IAM. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authori…

    I see Manifold as a huge leap past previous tools Immutables or Lombok. I understand there's a use case where you want to add these language features to an existing code base. But …

    For sure. Virtually every Jepsen test has found bugs even with extremely mature products like Postgres. But fundamentally Cassandra (and Scylla) and most other databases tested hav…

    It's not better because it doesn't actually work. If you're not interested in a science experiment, Cassandra (or Scylla) are the multi-master databases that are mainstream and pro…

    Right. And I think the point is that Redux is a godsend for some small percentage of products but for the vast majority the cure is worse than the disease. Simple and slightly verb…

    One challenge a bundler and transpiler introduce is they enable an unconstrained set of solutions. If a particular application has 10 patterns that support all the applications UI …

    I've not seem them claim to have broken CAP. AWS is quite an academic organization I think it'd be quite unlikely for them to say something like that. They do actually provide quit…

    Yeah agreed. It's about tradeoffs. If you want scale to zero with low latency DynamoDB already exists and provides that. The tradeoff is you give up all the nice features of a RDMS…

    Was this intended as satire? I honestly can't tell.

    Yeah. This works both ways. At small scale or early stage you should try like hell to work backwards from pre-existing components so that everything does exactly what you need them…

    To add on to the comment about Keycloak, the comparison to AWS Cognito has a couple issues as well. - The comparison suggest Cognito is more expensive. Cognito pricing starts at 50…
