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.

ShitBox has had sharts since like version 2.4

I'm not sure who is kidding... you or the parent comment.

That's part of the circular nature of the parody. Maybe I'm an investor and this will be the next "Yo" app.

This is a joke right?

If the only tool you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. I'm sure the OP isn't really proposing to market the shit bowl as a receptacle for putting things in with the added feature of MRU at the top. However if this takes off I'm going to market the utterly shit drawer that instantly sucks the most recently used power supply or charging cable to the bottom.

I use junk drawers, which scale to available drawers, after which you buy more storage or a larger house.

Personally, I farm to work out to the cloud. I simply purchase whatever I need, have it delivered to an Amazon locker nearby, and then when I’m done with it I throw it out and order a new one. The most frequently used ones are always at the locker and the least frequently used one is automatically returned for a refund. The cache miss is approximately two days. It’s expensive, but you can’t beat the fact that it scal…

Man, it really seems like bowl-less is everywhere these days. This kind of thing is why I rage quit programming and went to live in a Vipassana retreat.

I heard this is extremely expensive for anything non-trivial. People are always like, scale, scale, scale. But 99% of people are not Walmart. KISS, YAGNI, premature optimisation something something.
