Hacker News: Apple launches data center on a stick, and boy does Elon Musk have an opinion about that (14879 comments)


HN comments, N levels deep: The subtle mention of a largely tangential but controversial topic is important to me. Here is an eight-paragraph thinly-veiled diatribe on why you are wrong.


A condemning argument against your diatribe, based largely on my personal definition of a loaded term your diatribe used.


A snippy comeback that isn't remotely as clever as I thought it was. I am now quoting every other sentence of your reply as I try to both double down on my point and furiously back-pedal my use of the term.


A performative personal attack, disguised as helpful suggestion; revealing that the purpose of my engagement was never a serious discussion, but only making myself look good. The use of a semicolon tastefully solidifies my position as a very smart commenter.


...re-written in Rust.


It would have better through-put if it were rewritten in Elixir, I would do it in Erlang but I find the syntax less appealing.


It's OK though, since throughput considerations don't matter as hardware is so fast now and your boss just wants you to get the thing shipped


So long as it doesn't have leaky abstractions, it passes muster.
