Huh, I completely forgot about that, we should keep it for the entire year then.

I like winter but the daylight savings nonsense sucks, I don’t want it to get dark even earlier, it’s all backwards.

I only use Discord because modding communities are there, not because I like the app, it’s ass.

Thank you! I couldn’t stand to hear this anti mitochondria slander.

Factory farming

Yeah, I’ve been only to Sydney and Melbourne and don’t remember seeing that, but I might be wrong.

Never seen this myself. Where are you from? It might be a regional thing.

I really like the food, movies and most people I’ve met from India are extremely nice.

What I don’t like is the huge inequality, treatment of women and the lack of hygiene in the big cities.

It’s definitely a country that has been on it’s way up for a while now, things could be really good for India in the future.

I see, I’m definitely biased towards micro services after years of dealing with horribly made monoliths but I see what you mean.

At the end of the day I think both approaches have pros and cons.

Micro services are a lot easier to scale out since they behave independently from each other, you can have different levels of replication and concurrency based on the traffic that each part of your system receives.

Something that I think is pretty huge is that, done right, you end up with a bunch of smaller databases, meaning you can save a lot of money by having different levels of security and replication depending on how sensitive the data is.

This last part also helps with data residency issues, which is becoming a pretty big deal for the EU.

I somewhat agree but I find that the added complexity is segmented, you shouldn’t need to care about anything but the contracts themselves when working within a micro service.

That means less code to take into account, less spaghetti and an easier time with local testing.

Micro services also have a ton of advantages at the infrastructure level.

Exactly! Monoliths can work in theory but, in practice, end up becoming bloated messes since it’s just easier to do so.

It’s really not, you’ll be thankful you have it once the system grows too big.

Things just got darker over here, my screen would be completely black if it were still usable.

I really like the first Watchdogs, it’s by no means the game that was promised but it’s still great.

I fully agree, cars are just not needed most of the time.

EVs are good for the environment overall but you are not going to fix climate changing by buying more things.

Most of the criticism towards EVs comes from the idea that buying the shiny new thing is a net positive when it’s actually less harmful than buying a traditional car.

Tldr: if you are going to buy a car, buy an EV, but don’t just buy a new car just to switch to EV if you don’t need it.

That’s not the Reddit I remember

I wouldn’t call it ahead of it’s time, this is just history repeating itself.

He really saw Elon destroy Twitter and decided to try a speedrun.
