Yeah, I know what you mean. I've read far too many isekai manga/manhwa than I should have (not super into anime).

Shield Hero was good but FFF-Class Trashero probably tops the lot for me. Really good storytelling and incredible character development.

If you like FFF, you may enjoy Master of Gu.

Thank you as always zzzeek for the hard work.

It's funny that this applies to not just programming but a bunch of other stuff like politics and religion.

Humans gotta humanate.

I have a similar implementation of RPC over AMQP in Node.js and 2 things i'd advise. (Similar to my sibling poster)

1) Don't requeue on error. One bad message could bring down your entire service. Better to just push it to Sentry and make a fix for it.

2) Have a timeout in your message handler.

It's not about which is the best technology. The barrier to entry for Node.js is next to nothing and the size of the ecosystem is incomparable to Elixir. Which means tons of companies will go with Node and feed back to the ecosystem and so on...

If we are going on size of ecosystem/what companies are invested in/etc, then you may as well stick with Java and the JVM with something like Vert.x. No need for Node.

nodejs ecosystem is much larger than the java one. also the amount of money companies invested in node is at least on par with java. think only about google chrome.

There's no advantage to using Node in a lot of cases though. Maybe if you're creating a microservice to generate email html or something. Data/state management, stream/job processing? Java or Kotlin all the way.

I have written a lot of Node services. Spent six years doing it. Gimme Java plz.

Assuming existing experience with JS / npm / async style. If you don't have that, I'm not sure which would be harder to start with. Given a little bit of experience with each, I'd actually lean towards elixir being a simple choice. Then again it depends on whether you're cool with training new devs in case of lack of elixir people.

It's more of the Portuguese Empire collapsed otherwise they'd still be around till today. FYI, the Arabs in question here were the Omani Sultanate who operated a gigantic slave trade on the East African coast.

Not commonly known, but the highest incidence of Arab genetic markers is in Yemen, followed closely by East Africa. Based only on genetics, an Ethiopian or Somali is much more Arab than an Egyptian, Syrian, or Iraqi. Although culturally speaking East Africa did not adopt/uphold Arabic language and culture as much as the Levant or Egypt.

It's a tangent but I always found it fascinating.

I used to work in enterprise. There's nothing I miss more than Oracle's automatic partition management.

In my country geothermal power plants are run by a state corporation. It's definitely not as easy to scale but in an ideal world I would have it over fossil fuels.

So what is the likely outcome of the fallout of Tether and Bitfinex? I'm guessing the price of Bitcoin will fall drastically?

As bitcoin is quite impossible to value via traditional methods it's very hard to say where the price could end up after a tether pop.

I've heard many in the cryptocurrency space throw figures around such as $1,000.

I fear that the crash would be far lower. The argument is that the entire run up is fake therefore a realistic price would be back around $100.

I can see this happening. Sucks for everyone who bought in at $18K.
