Don't you feel operators are like duct tape? Something added on top that should've been part of the core architecture to begin with?

Sadly the author doesn't understand what iterating quickly means. It's not a means of achieving greater performance in a known area, but a means of finding something that works in an unknown space.

So the completely opposite argumentation would've worked. For the last 10+ years we spent iterating over several startups to find how to use this new technology of mobile and internet, and now that we have found most reasonable usecases we can slow down and optimize them.

On the other hand there are always areas we don't know much about, like in the areas of shared knowledge, in the niches. There of course quick iteration continues to be the way to go.

The best way to avoid fraud is to become smarter oneself. It is not that hard to detect once you learned some survival skills. Sorry, but criticising someone as disrespectful for helping people to learn survival skills sounds damaging. A little like not telling your children about sex and condoms because you don't want them to have sex.

Shit will happen. Better be prepared, and better help others prepare. Stop criticizing people who try to help.

PS: He also didn't say that it isn't fraud. He said that besides fraud there are a lot of other ways a video you made could be used in other ways than you intended.

The less experience you have the more you should pay a SaaS. Then when you gain more experience you start using frameworks like self managed ELK stack more. If that is not enough at some point you can roll out your own.

All nice and true (thus upvoted), but it's not really the point he's making. The point he's making is that most modern applications require more than 1-3 developers, and therefore you need to consider the development cost and infrastructure as part of the whole consideration. So he advocates to work on decreasing these costs instead of finding another high-level distributed architecture that is running on centralized infrastructure (the internet) and that is either forgotten in a few months or built by a centralized development organization.

Try firefox, it has a reader mode that always translates all html pages to the same structure. I bet it's also configurable.

what's the difference? "page fetch" is not really something that can be googled on the web.

> In a database system, the concern was traditionally to minimize page accesses

Is it really about memory access or disk loads?

I would very simply summarize it like this: If you know which data you look for and say "give me this piece" then you want to use a hash table. If you don't know what you are looking for and need to filter/search, then you use a b-tree. So actually you want to use both structures regularly.

Not sure how that general principle really applies or if it's just a quirck my brain came up with, though. If you look at distributed hash tables for instance, they are hash tables on a bus network in some sense, but they are used for search/filter tasks over multiple nodes.

e.V. or eingetragener Verein, is a registered non-profit organization that must serve a good cause, imo. Usually used for sports, culture, science organisations etc. It's not a company

Well, you have to fail anyway, so failing quicker might save you some time and get you to a good solution quicker as well. Understanding that should be a core part of any HNer at least. Probably wouldn't hurd the free software world either. (pun intentended)

You mean like in...

Why is the idea to "just pop a pill" on a daily basis not wrong? It is. It totally is. You should not need to drug yourself to get through the day.
