I have the pixel 6 Pro. By far the worse phone I've ever had. It's unable to hold a consistent phone conversation and I'll often cut out so the person on the other end can't hear me. Did a RMA and the new phone has the same problem. Support is also difficult to deal with. Ive been a loyal pixel owner until now, but can no longer recommend anyone buy a pixel phone.


I hope you haven't done this anywhere.

Makes my brain hurt, but I think this will only run through the loop one time looking at the last element of the array.


Thats quite a straw man. There's a pretty big difference between using a benefit as intended and taking advantages of loopholes in tax law by creating multiple shell entities around the globe. You can argue they have a duty to shareholders to optimize profits, but let's not pretend it's the same thing as paying your taxes as the law intended.


Fidelity 401ks are already much more strict in how you can withdraw


Doing anything too complex there would be pretty surprising to me. if they are it seems they didn't do too good a job since the test is emulating a old phone that should probably get a simple/smaller page


Websockets seems strictly more efficient than this strange attempt to create your own protocol. Not sure what challenges you've had with websockets, but I can't see how SSE is more efficient. Especially when creating protocols like client -> server where you'd need really custom edge proxy configuratings.


Actually it’s not strange at all, we came up with similar architecture that we found our later is much like RAMEN:

I think you misread that. It says you could spend your money on something better. like a juicero. Hard to know exactly how the author views juicero in terms of being a good product but I think the point is it's a much better kickstarter than this game. Seems you agree on that.


Where do you get the impression MongoDB is trending towards death? Seems to be growing by some metrics; the stock price has more than doubled in the last year. Not a fan myself, but still seems a long way from death to me and seem to be doing something right in enterprise market.


There's a difference between trending towards death and dead.

IBM has been trending towards death for decades now and it's nowhere near dead.

MongoDB is certainly on the road to death, IMO. As has Oracle DBMS since the 90s.

Most companies tend to make more money as their product's growth stalls out (extracting more money from existing customers).

The fact that Mongo had to create shitty-license underpins huge revenue problems. If you look at the major trends and surveys, the ones targeted at people who actually drive database adoption within companies, MongoDB is sliding YoY for 3 years now.

The place you see Mongo growing is Atlas. Yes, as their competitors can no longer offer MongoDB in their clouds, revenue shifts to MongoDB. That does not mean that use of the database itself is growing.


What surveys are you referring to? Got any sources?


the yearly Stack Overflow survey, for one.

Find me a bunch of developers and infrastructure people who are EXCITED about running MongoDB. I guarantee you're going to find a 7-10+ year old infrastructure if you do.


Pretty misleading when it leads the most wanted category in that very survey (maybe you're thinking of what people report already using) https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-mo...


This just isn't true. A large number of companies are building new applications with MongoDB atlas


Yes, because Mongo's license prevents them from using alternatives to Atlas (read: other cloud providers). Of course Atlas growth looks good. It's them or self-hosting.

That's not the same as starting a new product on MongoDB.


If they did step two it wouldn't be nearly as bad.


Well, you'd have to do it secretly, buy them back from the recyclers


I think a lot of companies would choose the 50% higher salary if given that choice.


That means your normal rate is not high enough.
