No, some people are sure that China could.

Well, according to what people write in this thread, a distributed grep or some other way to organize a decent central logging system might be a necessary part of the core competency. Because if they buy splunk instead, they might go bankrupt.

It is an acronym, ELektronische STeuerERklärung

Start with sed. It can take you a long way and it is more succint.

Ukraine definitely does not have a sensible leader. In 2021 he declared both that "he does not like the Minsk agreements" and that "Ukraine needs to obtain nuclear weapons". After the start of the war, he insists that Ukraine be allowed to join NATO, which would automatically mean World War.

Alright, from his point of view, perhaps this is sensible: Ukraine stands to lose otherwise, so for him the World War might be preferable.

I like this. Don't ask, don't tell. Occasionally someone might notice that your IP address seems to be in a foreign coutry, though.

What do you mean "these clowns did Brexit"? All they did was to organize a referendum. Why does this make them clowns in your eyes?

This does not compute.

> No software I used in 1995 will run on my current computers.

I don't think you have tried too much to run it.

You are advising application developers against using their chosen database optimally? I think it is not needed, I rarely see an application change its database.

From z/OS to Oracle. Good Lord!

Are you implying that we should only be reading articles by Liberal/Progressive think tanks?

He no longer works for Canonical, it seems.

Perhaps somehow to you that quote is about exactly the same problem but ... it doesn't look like it.

But apparently many developers of open source software would not consider that something they do for fun. I.e. it is work.

The second part "and therefore we should all go to Rust" does not follow necessarily from the first. Maybe the reason not everybody is gone to Rust is that it lacks something. Maybe we will all go somewhere else.

How is this the most costly way?

Can you not offer compensation for the time it will cost the developer to make the release you need?

7 years is too long in my opinion, but better late that never I guess. I don't know whether Germans delude themselves about the relevance of German abroad, but I understand that some people delude themselves about the relevance of other languages (English) inside Germany.

What I say is valid for all countries, i.e. if you move to France/Italy/Netherlands/Denmark you should learn French/Italian/Dutch/Danish.

Since when is it a problem for a country to operate in its own language? Especially one which is spoken by 100 million people? Have you considered that people who migrate to a new country for work might even try to learn the language? Who says English must remain lingua franca in Europe?

But beside all that, everyone with a basic education in Germany does speak good English if needed.

Yes, it should have been Apache Kafka in this case.

According to other comments, apparently there was a banner, but it was tiny and green instead. Pure genious.

Yeah, why is the deprecation message in green? Why not in red? Who is picking colours over there and with what criteria?

When discussing such languages, I would like to point out that Raku is also an option.

This is good news, because you have to pay a lot for a used copy of the first edition nowadays. I hope the spirit remains the same as in the first edition.

That is supposed to be a festive hour, not one for trading.

I don't like this article.

- we are all doing monitoring wrong? No, sorry.

- You set up these tools with the mentality of "set and forget" but they actually require ever increasing amounts of maintenance? The tools and your monitoring rules require maintainance like everything in IT.

- Logs OK, don't use logs for monitoring.

- Metrics Yes, do use time series for monitoring.

- Prometheus is really designed to be running on one server. You can scale vertically ... Actually you can operate more than one Prometheis behind a load balancer, avoiding the situation "when there is a Prometheus problem you lose visibility into your entire stack at once", and without needing to federate them.

This also shows once more how you cannot measure military strength of nations by budget. For example, US military spending is X times that of Russia, therefore the US army must be stronger. Or F35 costs so many mamy dollars, it has to be a super duper aircraft.

It was $1400 billion for the year 2022

No, the social credit system is mainly focused on businesses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System . As I understand, social trustworthiness affects their eligibilty for credit.
