wow this whole thread -- so many dinosaurs.

Wrong.

this should be blocked. I cannot imagine any consumer benefit

hello as a captain of bullshit I am observing this.

Excuse me sir, are you going to pay for those?

we aren't early. others like Gumby here have made great posts about how the cloud has existed for decades. I don't like his silly broad ranging manifestations but okay. I've seen a lot of old shit, let's stroke off about them but it continues.

Well AWS has been quite clever, using both Xen originally and also now KVM VMs, but everything else is based on that yeah. But that's gotten really complex over the years. They now use a container execution environment called firecracker or something that is open sourced and might be totally separate from their virtualized environment - or at least on top of it where they do let you just run little jams. Cloud isn't bad, I just mean you do have to transfer octets somehow from exec to exec. There are more and less efficient ways of doing it, and also more and less secure ways too - and abstract ways. Not all bad.

S3, yes a network accessible FS. Unix - only is a telling word - it is the /defining/ paradigm for that. Is there a better one yet? 1000 CPUs? I mean, uh Hadoop, spark, etc etc. What?

amen, and those principles still serve us well today. software developers are still as bad at writing code, maybe worse.

Okay, tell me how you do it much better in k8s

Good replies by others here. "crazy and destructive" that you have no idea about how computers work today, or how computers are still computers. Your ignorance about things like Sun workstations as it relates to literally everything today, I mean you have no idea about modern computing lol

The problem is that developers have no idea how to run systems at a scale larger than their local Mac and iPhone.

Good luck Mr/s/ Maximalist, why would we need you in a future where AI can preach its own worth?

He didn't claim that.

Some real anxiety in the comments here. I personally think this is a positive situation - one which could have been avoided if real human managers had a hint of empathy, humility, and understanding of their job : to be human conduits to a mechanical system.

I have had 3 or 4 great real human managers in my career. But that also includes at least a dozen horrible troll-drones. They deserve it. Give me nothing, get nothing. Even the real human ones were just buffering whatever they could before I quit.

I'd assume they had a salary boundary that excluded experienced individuals who expected more money.

Disagree, many more companies are comfortable with remote, and a LOT more employees are happy to work outside of the coast these days. The traditional tech hubs in the US are oversaturated and cannot deliver cost of living value anymore.

I would absolutely pay for this but I don't even have the opportunity.

I haven't heard of this and I know a good number of weight trainers. Doesn't this give people massive squirts? Can anyone digest a whole gallon of milk in a day? Gross

I find it very difficult to believe anyone is giving "100"s on incorrect spelling or math work.

Does it make a difference if there is no true discussion or debate, but instead one party that simply desires to spread misinformation? (Party in this context not meaning a US political party)

I don't think I've ever used an app that was less intuitive and less user friendly than snap. That's probably why.

Just checked mine. Every third post was a sponsored ad. This is why I have mostly stopped going on Instagram.

Singapore is tiny, not much more than a city-state. Rates of drug use is also a matter of honest reporting.

And wow are you really advocating execution of people with addiction and mental health issues that use drugs?

I've found programming is much more like making art or music. You don't have to be "classically trained", and in fact I think the best I've seen aren't.

Not trying to romanticize programming. It is a grueling and frustrating experience in my opinion and experience. But those that are good at it can be exceptional at it.

Development isn't my day job but I read a lot of code and there are those that can write code that is simply beautiful to view and that is highly functional. It truly is an art.

Math is a secondary concern. Sure, if you are working on hardcore algo stuff, it's heavy on math. But the great, great majority of programmers are not doing that. They are writing logic to achieve a business goal using existing primatives.

Yet another example of supply chain attacks. How do businesses seriously allow their devs to pull code from outside sources, it blows my mind. Npm, Ruby gems, etc etc etc.

Trump is embarrassing, but he has dramatically improved the ability for the wealthy to abuse the poor via policy and regulatory changes.

The very wealthy (and even those of moderate means) genuinely believe they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and made their own success, completely blind to the fact their incredibly wealthy or successful parents put them there.

Deliberate implies documented in your comment. Of course it's implicit in this scenario. I suppose not much of the conversation in 100k/plate dinner fundraisers is about the weather.

Anyone, or in meaningful numbers? I'm not sure you can specify both. I "earn" around $400k USD per year and give away nearly all of it other than my housing and food.
