I'm not vegan, but what's wrong with turning vegan as a suggestion for an industrial society?

If you think about it, it's only a good material because we ignore the downsides. If we could put a price on that, the economics wouldn't add up.

You assume everyone has extra 200$ to pay. For someone living in a low wage country, it's hard to pay that much, even if you produce a multiple of that value in theory

The design with hot/cold storage makes it much more interesting than FDB for some use cases. FDB is an excellent DB with very strong operational guarantees, TigerBeetle seems to be specialized for financial data and to optimize perf/cost ratio.

Both are great

Jesus dude,just say it was a mistake to call it free forever. How can you be a founder or whatever, have a product and not expect people to judge the words your website had, or the words you say? You should know it comes with the territory.

Doesn't matter how hard you guys worked to be profitable, it's about building trust and relationship with your audience.

On paper this looks smart, but when you hit a but that triggers under very specific conditions (weird bugs happen more often as you scale), you are gonna wish you had tracing for that.

The ideal setup is that you trace as much for some given time frame, if your stack supports compression and tiered storage it becomes cheap er

I think in practice it has to do with some libs (eg jdbc drivers) that would be relying on synchronized. If the performance with vthreads was much worse for some cases it would be a bit of failure

Don't forget FoundationDB

Well put. I wouldn't want to ride with my kids with a 3000w bike breezing pass me in the bike lane at 45km/h

Sure! But those were not ordinary people but special disciples, who had accumulated alot of blessings over a long time, thus were able to meet the Buddha and become enlightened with a couple of sentences from the Buddha. Still, the Buddha himself certified their enlightenment, they didn't go around claiming it themselves. Huge difference.

Claiming that someone attains Arhat (or Arahant, if you are used to Theravada texts) with just a couple of meditation retreats is just wild. Because the 9 dhyana, or 9 samadhi, or 9 Juana corresponded to the level of wisdom of an Arhat. It corresponds to enlightenment in Theravada, and in Mahayana too - just not the "biggest" one.

So it's actually very harmful to do these claims; each dhyana (or jhana) level corresponds to a certain level of wisdom, and you are supposed to have less and less afflictions as you move up. The problem with meditation training is that is very common (and easy) to get sidetracked for 10 years thinking you have attainment but you are stuck. The Chinese style is to find a good teacher, an enlightened teacher, a so called Good Knowing Advisor who can certify your attainment or put you on the right track. Because otherwise it's just wishful thinking.

Best or luck to the author, but like the GP said, have some humility and find a competent, certified teacher. Making false claims, even out of ignorance will prevent you from accessing the proper instructions in the future.

I see your point, but in my experience you can ramp up some eg: Java developer real quick; and in a couple of months they can quickly start to become more productive than with Java.

There are alot of caveats here, and it highly depends on the teams, projects, maturity, quality of tools, and so on, but there are not alot of weird concepts in clojure that makes it that hard to understand (as a counterpoint to eg: rust borrow checking rules, or C++ templating, and so on).

The hard part with clojure is having just enough discipline to keep things in check.

It's just different maturity stages of different products. It's very hard not to add features when your bottom line depends on it.

Same, I have two powerline APs that deliver ethernet+wifi, more than enough for chromecast/netflix/etc. The only issue i have is sometimes clients don't choose the best APs.

It's woefully short sighted, as it misses the long-term prospect of economic output, as most classes of people you mentioned provide some economic benefit in one way or another. Cynicism should be precise, in my opinion.
