The cloud, speaking for small-to-medium companies, is two things; a directory server with file storage, email, and an attached suite of productivity tools (e.g. Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace), and virtual, distributed infrastructure (e.

Watching the Bay Area from over the Atlantic was always a very bewildering experience. I honestly think you guys now get something closer to the reality of European startups, where we’d always have to fight for customers and investor mone

Seriously, they should use something like this in movies when showing hacker screens. Those are so ridiculous, sometimes I think it’s a deliberate inside gag to display an HTML page on a terminal when someone purportedly „hacks“ into a gove

Its funny how every economist would instantly recognise what needs to be done if we weren’t talking about the climate but a publicly traded company. Imagine the company is spending a whole lot more than it is making revenue; they still have

Sounds like a cool project, but the name is such a bad idea, despite the cleverness of word choice. An app for a niche use case has it hard enough, doesn’t help that nobody can spell correctly even when reading it.

The problem is that the things you identified as being based on luck have cascading second-order effects. For example, people that are perceived as handsome have better chances in wage negotiations, and the same goes for people with a light

Tangent, but I think from a certain level onwards, money keeps multiplying itself. You’ve got people working for you that take care of the smart decisions and investments, and people like trump are way too busy with their schemes and bullsh

The thing about tariff wars is that you never want to shoot your full quiver in the first encounter, but keep some arrows for the next one. And the one after that. I wouldn’t be so disappointed just yet; even the most lethargic beaurocrats

It sounds very interesting, I would suggest adding some kind of demo or video on the readme; I think i know how it works, but it would be nice to see Hedgehog in action. I’m going to try it tomorrow!

If you haven’t, I recommend reading Harari, specifically Homo Deus and Nexus . He writes at length about what he calls dataism, a new kind of religion filling the void liberalism and enlightenment left in us. Good reads.

This is the exact mindset the Germans put forth when questioned after the war: What should we have done anyway? We were just following orders. We didn’t know what would happen. They would only have taken us, too, if we resisted. If a few mo

Channels are equivalent to job queues the same way walkie-talkies are equivalent to emails.

And some more to add retries. And then another few to handle attachments. And just some more to generate previews. And multipart messages. And testing. And just like that, you spent a whole lot of time to reinvent something frameworks like

It’s like you’re saying, „get a Raspberry Pi instead of an iPhone, it can do the same things!“ Go is Turing complete, sure it can do all things Laravel can. But the whole point is that with a proper full-Stack framework, you’ll get everyt

Come on, that’s not what you really do, but an oversimplification that skimps on the actually hard parts. You manage (as few as possible) connections to a DBMS, create prepared statements, cache and transform results, lazily iterate over la

It’s not. One thing is sending batches of transactional mail to thousands of recipients in a production web application running on a bunch of replicated containers on ephemeral machines, the other is proof that SMTP theoretically works in y

Im not saying all of this isn’t possible in Go, or somehow worse. My point is that using eg. Laravel, you don’t even need third-party libraries for these things, just the framework. And all of it is built on the same conventions, documented

I assume you have never used Django or Rails or Laravel then. With these, you get a web application with routing, middleware, schema validation, database connections, an ORM, authentication, sessions, job queues, email sending, distributed

by 9dev 2y ago
The ORM question is a very good example for the issue you describe. Laravel is great to get a CRUD app started right now , iterate very quickly, and leave implementation complexity to the framework. This isn’t the right tool for every job,

I don't know which axe you have to grind, mate, but everything you said seems to be the second-hand—flawed—impression of a foreigner. You're talking about Germans as if a unified group with a single opinion, which could not be far

Don’t buy into the sorrow. The USA has survived almost 300 years, and has seen a lot of bad shit. Europe is just pulling itself up. And even if it all isn’t enough, neither Putin nor Trump are going to get much older, and both are too full

This. It’s just perfect. A brilliant sociopath who happens to be a technological genius with a lot of money, loves to play war, works as a Russian spy out of the dark, and plays the long game, while eluding the worlds police forces easily?

They are not. An ape is always part of a tribe and has a role to play. Not even the alpha animals are secure, since they need to defend their position; females will, if a conquering tribe takes over, be raped by the winning males. What exac

Are the studies slow, or is the AI research moving extremely fast? So fast that proper studies have a hard time catching up?
