what would you define as a correct system?

I disagree very much. I don't think any blanket statement like that makes sense.

I recently started building a service and need to keep costs down. Serverless is perfect for it. My service has low to moderate traffic, costs pennies to run on AWS Lambda and MongoDB Atlas. If I had gone the boring route of JVM + PG + k8s, putting aside the time it would take to defamiliarize myself with anything on the JVM, the cost to run this service would have been in the hundreds of dollars a month vs the pennies. Interestingly the most expensive part of my current setup is the NAT Router on my VPC. With JVM + PG + k8s it would have been PG or K8S depending on where I ran PG.

I do agree that there is a misconception with containers taking longer than server less. I don't think either takes longer considering the current tooling available.

Seems like you got burned on Serverless at some point, I'm sorry that happened, but for many people and teams it is a productivity multiplier and can be a big cost cutting solution.

Off topic(?) but, "what next" in that sentence at all seems jarring. English is my first language so I could be wrong, but should it be "what's next" or "what is next"?

These languages are more alike than they are different.

I agree with this point. I learned python years before I learned Ruby and I found them to be very similar. Ultimately I dropped ruby because I didn't care much for the syntax and I like whitespace.

I don't think you'd sound like a jackass saying "O is for optimism. But we are not done yet. V is for vascularization...." but wouldn't you rather sound like a jackass than give bad advice? I'd rather hear this than the clinical robotic "Rest Ice Compression Elevation", I mean come on, I'm a person!

How are those "metaverse"?

Good question. My guess is because those things are all 3D virtual worlds (to some extent) and/or a platform that is focused on social connection. Obviously they all need some connective tissue and evolution before they are a legit meta verse.

donations?! you just buy guns and they get your money, and "bonus" you get a gun.

looks like they rolled their own. github.com/Phantas0s/termui

edit: forked one anyway

I think the plot that Roy set for us was lost a long time ago. Right or wrong we can let things evolve.

This is interesting. I've been relearning C++ after not using it for 25 years. It is hard, I was a Java dev for years, now Python with some Golang. Carbon looks much easier to take up.

Anarchy, it always has been. Everyone has their own ideas about what REST means or what Hypermedia means.

Is Notion based in Somolia?

I think you proved their point.

the metadata service is http and not encrypted.

I agree with the low contrast comment, but the gatekeeping is not constructive

Wow! 150kW. The chargers I use now are 7kW max. I wonder what kind of stress that puts on the batteries.

On average it isn't true. The average profit margin is 1.4% for gas stations in the US. Clearly the majority are not making much money on gas. Presumably that low average could mean for many gas is a loss leader.

Do you care how many chickens or how many beers you can get with BTC?

I am doubtful this will have any real affect of prices but I am hopeful. I need GPUs for deep learning and simply cannot afford the current prices if I can even find them available. I am so sick of cryptocurrency.

this. I had piloted a project in Elixir a few years ago. It wasn't until I really learned Erlang that it became a pleasant experience. In the end it was replaced by another team in another language.

Seems like linguistics is the perfect arena for exploiting puns. Term of art I think not when they miss a perfect chance for artistry.

it's not ironic if you really understand socialism.

I'm not sure what this comment is actually trying to say. the feature seems very intuitive and easy to understand.

I am confused by this. sudo seems like a far larger surface area than running as me. If it's just me then it's just me, but if it's sudo, then it's the entire box.

transferring specific violations to general violations is the problem in this case.

The why isn't very important. You only need to know the constraints of your system, you don't need to know why the constraints are what they are... maybe you want to, but not need.

sounds like learning to me. In the 1950s this was somewhat advanced machine learning.

I think you are contorting the comment to mean something it doesn't mean. "every" is the keyword there. Not every programmer needs to know how memory works. Some programmers should know. I don't need to know for 99.99999999% of the work I do. But even that 0.00000001% it is debatable. I write code that runs on target systems. I can evaluate its performance on the target system. Now if I had to write software for a system and speed was critical and I could choose the type of memory to use, then you bet I would be reading up on this subject.

doesn't make it right, they need therapy not lashing out with generalizations

but that is a feature of their offering. You are comparing apples to oranges here.
