Many plants and trees spread rotating ”helicopter seeds”. Many vines roto-grow themselves around vertical supports. Day flowers rotate to follow the sun.

Apples and oranges fall on the ground and can roll far and wide. Walnuts too.

Partial rotation is still rotation, of course: see animal joints in walk, trot and gallop.

And then there’s the belly-up pig drunk on brewery grain rolling down the hill. That mash packs a wallop!

Those rotating things still produce their thrust by pushing a wing-shaped structure through air, producing a high-pressure zone on one side, and a low-pressure zone on another. That is what I was getting at. It is the same principle.

The modern way is to sidestep the issue altogether and use Kubernetes with a database designed to run on Kubernetes. You can get sharding, replication and leader election essentially for free - you can concentrate on using the database instead of running the database.

Compute is really cheap compared to engineering man-hours.

Planes do ”flap their wings”, just not the ones protruding from the fuselage.

Rust frontend dev is not going to become mainstream, no matter what.

Bet it’s just a stored XSS alert from a poisoned cache.

”Analysts noticed that CCTV cameras in Taiwan and South Korea were digitally talking to crucial parts of the Indian power grid – for no apparent reason. On closer investigation, the strange conversation was the deliberately indirect route by which Chinese spies were interacting with malware they had previously buried deep inside the Indian power grid.”

Maybe don’t buy surveillance hardware from those brands

The Amiga manual suggests normalizing to a conjunctive normal form.

Watching YouTube is essentially running a proof-of-work algorithm for someone else

That’s React without the JSX sugar.

Not if you want to map or reduce it.

Poor on-call guys
