So the point of distributed compute is to reduce the compute needed? I’ve generally found that distributed compute requires more compute than vertical scaling while getting clobbered by network bandwidth / latency.
Theoretically with 2 to 10x compute required and in practice 100 to 500x
I think for databases horizontal scaling for writes only makes sense once vertical scaling stops working. It comes with high complexity, annoying limitations, and often higher cost.
Horizontal scaling for reads on the other hand is much easier. If you have multiple replicas for high availability, you might as well put them to work. It can also reduce the risk for read heavy tasks interfering with transaction processing. You can even go a step further and replicate to a database that's optimized for analytical tasks.
Horizontal scaling for stateless applications (e.g. web servers or job processors) is often easier and more robust than vertical scaling, with little to no downsides.
The advice I’ve gotten is that you want to move computation to data that is already distributed. The cost of moving large amounts of data usually dwarfs compute costs (usually, not always), and so the performance win comes from distributing the computation and then (depending on the problem) centralizing aggregate results.
I’ve never seen code that is downloaded run itself. Why not be the change you want to see in the world and run sudo or spawn your browser in a jail. Or download as another user.
Perhaps proving the point here. That's not enough to eliminate the secret, the dangling commit will persist. Though this might be a nitpick, it's rather hard to get it from the remote without knowing the SHA.

Is absolutely the right answer. If you pushed a key, you should treat it as already compromised and rotate it.
Making the info of public employees public. Don’t want your info public, don’t become a a servant of the public.
Besides US law clearly says their personal information isn’t theirs. We should be celebrating this person allowing public employees to hear the views of the public they serve.
Not at all. Most states have open records laws which would allow someone to request full names, salaries, and job titles of every government employee in the state. One might wonder why those people are not being targeted by "lunatics". Perhaps ICE is doing particularly disagreeable things?
Militias aren’t targeting people at the unemployment office because they believe in unemployment. They don’t believe in border control though. That’s been a Democrat quasi-position since the Biden administration.
Yeah, I’d like to be able to register to vote without doxxing myself. I’d like to have a little privacy protection to myself even when I’m out and about, but these sorts have decided I get neither.
Fuck these parasitic scum. They deserve as much privacy as they offer me.
I can get you residency in a number of countries in about 30 to 60 days. It’s remarkably easy to change countries an American friend of mine has over 15 residencies leading to over 10 passports. No citizenship by investment non sense either.
only in the global north who want to you to spend half your time slaving for them. in the countries with privacy rights, and where slavery remains outlawed, the residency requirements are pretty minimal.
Will this really do any good when this kind of legislation magically appears through lobbyists simultaneously across the West? Let's not forget that blocks like the EU also have significant bullying power via trade policy.
i get the joke, but seriously a bloomfilter would be a good idea.
