Stick tables

Skip all that jazz and write some php like it's 1998 and pay 5 bucks a month for Hostens or the equivalent... Well, that's the opposite costing side of the spectrum from serverless containerized dynamic lang runtime and a zillion paid services as a backend.

As "tech jobs evaporate" or as commercial real estate values in a city plummet.

There. Fixed it. Ai chicken thigh. No real programmers will be replaced. The dumb bubble of poo will implode, which brings its own issues...

Nice try, dear author. Alternatively, please consider that automation is what actually empowers technological innovations of the last decades, that the entire AI path is a red herring; a wasteful nondeterministic red herring, a mistake.

Perhaps THAT is why we roll our eyes, not our impatience at how we can obtain the alleged benefits of the application of such monstrous poo pipelines.

My opinion, of course, but i will never make peace with what I regard as a bad idea, fundamentally speaking.

Someone actually paid for emoji bundles?

The name of this company has real meaning in Português which I reckon is unintended.

So trust and honesty are unimportant when specifically bestowing titles for works completed with a thesis filled with tainted copied phrases?

Payola scandal said that the mere fact the platform schemes to prioritize on-platform cheap dreck under multiple names says they are watering down product in a cheating fashion. Adulterated saffron got you burned on a pile of your own fake saffron in parts of medieval Europe. Such a concept as fraudulent activity exists and will not disappear with mere hand wavery.

On what planet does that occur?

Thanks for summarizing so eloquently what is WRONG with the precept that might equals right. If she floats she's a witch, if she drowns she must have been innocent is the flip side fallacy, but what you just outlined amounts to: "i am bad on purpose, what are YOU gonna do about it?"

I am disgusted that this is still proferred as a valid moral philosophical principle. No. A thousand times no.

The answer is A SYSTEM.

The answer to bully predator logic is human society and systematic thought. This provides the capability to resist such base immorality as you and historical predators have proposed.

No, the DOD has NOT "declared them safe"

Please confirm the actual statement made.

No evidence of harm as of yet, or somesuch.

The military did NOT "declare them safe".

A spokesperson said that there was no proven harm done or something to that effect, as i particularly noted this oddball statement for what it was.

Please do go back and confirm.

I also think that any threat actor would attempt to dampen down alarm. GIVEN Putins proclivity and capabilities in convincing a cerain percentage of decadent western nations (tm) populations of certain scenarios in world power mongering, i dont see a brazen foreign drone surveillance campaign as out of the question.

Mind you, i did not allege that this is such, but that dismissal of such is currently impossible and unwise.

"Hapless" is the word that comes to mind. I mean, if the OSS you write gets commercialized and you aren't the one commercializing it...

This piece, while providing context, makes me question basically everything about Redis, despite it's lovely API.

Antirez extolling the virtue of the current LLM wave of hype coupled with his bizarre apologism for Redis Labs behavior is less strange than "why is this guy not 1)personally extremely wealthy 2)having reserved some key powers and control from Redis Labs from day1 such that he could have steered this, aka why content to be a somewhat powerless entity throughout the whole story of what happens to rhe software he wrote"

I also felt like the entire essay felt milquetoast as if Antirez was assigned to do damage control and upon recitation of the actual events, felt the need to defend his own choices to himself, as if he didn't even believe himself, defensive?

I have a huge amount of respect for the core design and its philosophy, FWIW

It seems odd to willfulky ignore Crystal language when discussing Ruby and speeding it up. Granted, macro semantics mean something else, more like c macros, but the general syntax and flow of Crystal is basically Ruby. https://crystal-lang.org/

Amber and Lucky are 2 mature frameworks to give Rails a run for their money, and Kemal is your Sinatra.

Xenomai or rt extensions to linux, basically the rtlinux legacy, where the os is a low priority thread while your latency critical code runs bare metal or scheduled out of band

There are STILL people drinking the techno-utopian kool-aid.

Plenty of folks think Musk will do something smart someday, for humanity's benefit, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I was here when the web showed up, and I can honestly state that we featured blatant techno-utopian rhetoric in nearly every aspect of the industry, as well as our underground nocturnal allegedly musical entertainment.

I now feel rather dumb, aka a product of my time, but the notion that inventing tools would lead to them automatically being used for good was prevalent, if specious.

If you utilize the global village of the Internet, why, yes.

Rust is one of the easiest languages for code refactoring, in my experience: the compiler amd clippy tell me everything i forgot to do. Just literally doing what clippy suggests often gets it compiled.

You don't like the turbofish?

Meh, I'll take his closing advice. If this were written in 2018 i might agree. Rust is currently exploding, however. C++ is footgun central, which is the opposite of typesafe. Go doesn't care about typesafety, and had it's heydey already. Rust is eating everything in 2024. People have begun to appreciate an approach to maintaining comprehensive typesafety from the db to user input. Rust is capable of holding much info about what it specifies, and is basically lossless as a specification. Rust is already eating the world, it just took a couple of decades of committee bikeshedding to achieve it. People are starting to understand why typesafety matters, as they flail around in bug soup.

Sensible. Kubernetes is an anti-pattern, along with containerized production applications in general.

-replicates OS services poorly

-OS is likely running on a hypervisor divvying up hardware resources into VPS's

-wastes ram and cpu cycles

-forces kubectl onto everything

-destroys integrity of kernel networking basic principles

-takes advantage of developer ignorance of OS and enhances it

I get it, it's a handy hack, for non production services or oneoff installs, but then its basically just a glorified VM

Spotify siphons yet more income artists should be getting into corporate coffers and Daniel Ek's bank account.

No music lover should be using Spotify. They are notorious for driving the downward trend in streaming payments to artists. They are arguably worse than the worst of the old Music Industry we were taught to hate in "tech disruptor culture 1.0".

Bandcamp revenue goes straight to artists, largely. I got 89 out of 99 dollars paid on a release of mine.

One can avoid container orchestration by avoiding the trend of containerizing your app. It wastes system resources, provides half-baked replicas of OS services, reduces overall security while simultaneously making networking a total pitas.

Your cloud provider is already divvying up a racked server into your VPS's, via a hypervisor, then you install an OS on your pretend computer.

While i can see how containerized apps provide a streamlined devops solution for rare hard to configure software that needs to run on Acorn OS 0.2.3 only, it should never be the deployment solution for a public facing production web service.

Horses for courses.

I wonder how successful market pivots are, on average. Seems like flailing to me. How can one take money to achieve x, build plans and hire people to achieve x, and then do y instead and not fall down in the necessary interval, unless the y product happens to be a side effect of x?

I can see that it has already eaten both your participles and your punctuation. Your user name couldn't be more apropo. However your sycophantic ramblings will not likely enhance your own bank account.

Social media is not the PUBLIC, but billionaires busy brainwashing and fleecing the public.

Social media largely feeds the petty culture war that substitutes for political dialog.

I would say it's a strong net negative.

Breaking the Snowden story wasn't serious journalism for you? I get that their culture/lifestyle take is a bit of a culture war outrage session, but their core journalism is some of the strongest in the world.
