On the other hand I sometimes wonder why Calculus is made a big deal out of. It was probably the easiest among all the parts of maths. You just have to imagine an small unit and how to extrapolate for integration and imagine how to break it down to small parts for differentiation. When I originally learnt Calculus in high school it was couple of days of learning the concepts and the a week of deriving everything from that and move on!

Insightful journey. Can you please share your discoveries and what do you eat now!

Thanks for sharing this insight. Is this a issue with just the web server.

If I have a standalone task, which tires to use 128 cores and manages parallel tasks using goroutines communicating via channels - will I be able to successfully leverage 128 cores.

I always wonder about kids who skip too many grades or who get college degree at 12. Even if they are intellectually there, socially life would be a nightmare. Imagine being a 12 year old which 17 year old peers. I can't imagine the emotional trauma!

I didn't do any IIT coaching and was able to prepare for IIT only for one year in my grade 11. After that I got some major health issue and was harassed by armed bullies in my school, so couldn't study at all in Grade 12. This made me miss Top 200 rank.

But this ended up being a blessing in disguise, because I couldn't get Computer Science at IIT. I have been passionate about computers since I was 8 years old. If I had studied Computer Science as a part of the course curriculum, I might have ended up hating it.

Instead I pursued Computer Science on mine own, based on my interest. I have loved it every single day!

I look forward to my work, versus most of my friends who feel trapped in their jobs!

I agree with this. Most people need just 2 years during grade 11 and 12. Starting earlier might give minor edge at best but more damage to other aspects of personality and growth!

In IIT, in under 1000 rank, most people who spent more than 2 years were people who were intelligent but didn't take preparation seriously during their grade 11-12 but put in effort after that.

I also know people who were extremely intelligent who could crack under 100 if they gave the exam in grade 8. But they were outliers.

I have had the same experience. I tried a BMW X7 and could never get a comfortable seat position. There were just too many controls.

I only wish Tesla has thigh extension. Otherwise the seats are really comfortable.

Thanks, I will take a look at it. It looks really expensive though!

I am not sure what is the exact use case. They could be using it for a non-critical data warehouse which could easily be recreated.

If you can deterministically determine your use case and are confident that mongo will fit it - it might be a good idea.

My concern which mongo is that is if you push the feature set, it will start falling apart at the seams.

Even though Postgres/MySql have some issues which can reduce the velocity of your team, if you absolutely want to be sure about data integrity and want full flexibility of evolving use case, they might serve better than mongo.

I have been watching these threads forever. I personally like Mongo and wanted to added some real life perspective to it.

In the end it is a tool which fits some scenarios.

You are correct. This was in the case of replica set.

Are you running Mongo yourself. I use to be at MLab, but Mongo Atlas is really good. Give it a shot!
