Rust is what distinguishes this competitor's product. I am not sure how Shitbowl ensures ownership of stored items. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bb/8d/c6/bb8dc61f7bc93b996c71...

To enable Sharding: throw your shitbowl against the wall. NB: Cached items will be need to be reindexed once sharding has been enabled.

If you have a glass one you can even shard the bowl!

Why are we censoring the name? Is the implication children read HN?

Why is the HN article title obscured with "*"? Does HN have a forbidden words policy?

I tried explaining this to my wife with my laundry pile and she wouldn’t buy it.

Laundry pile needs random access!

Looks like a nice prototype. In the real world Id like to see some basic provisions for type safety though.

If the last thing used was a half drank rocks glass of tequila the integrity of the entire cache will be threatened.

I used this to convince my gf to replace her hideous fake tree decoration with a nice bowl for holding stuff instead. This might be the most useful HN post for me ever.

Tragically, with uMatrix installed and default configuration, no images load, because external third party JS is needed just to load an image.

A parody that plays itself a little too well, sadly.

Any advice on implementing HyperLogLog on this? I’d really like to avoid map reduce if possible.

I cache my shoes by leaving the ones I wear frequently by the door ready to be put on. The ones I access less will go in the closet and the ones used very infrequently will go to the storage unit for glacial level storage.
