While very true, sometimes failure/shutting down/bankruptcy is a deliberate decision as it maximizes profit elsewhere. <the latest crisis> is just an excuse to save reputation for an action a large portion of the population

Dont forget the selective sharing of inside information and bailing out of only certain banks and investors, that just happen "by pure coincidence" to make large political contributions and extensive lobbying to government officia

In the past 100 years we've had conservatively 17 recessions (not including the current one) lasting 17 years 11 months total time (18% of the time), and with 1,691% inflation... And that includes all the adjustments to how they calcul

Got any proof to back up that "fact" or is it really just an opinion?

Just gotta wait for the comment claiming admin/maintenance costs makes non-cloud more expensive than cloud then we can have yet another full repeat discussion.

I think it can be mostly attributed to taking too much investment and not vetting investors enough. The investors started shoveling in a bunch of MBAs around 2000 because they wanted big returns. Thats what led to getting into the ads busin

Good to know they are working on this. Is there a legal issue with spoofing user agent to be the google crawler? Spoofing is certainly enough to get rid of article paywalls for 99% of sites Ive encountered. At least last I heard you can als

Yeah, ultimately this is what turned me off. Used the beta and loved it for as long as it lasted. When it ended it was hard to migrate elsewhere but I couldn't convince myself it was a good idea to continue investing in a service that

If startups/small companies are of any interest, there is often a large amount of horizontal maneuverability due to people often wearing multiple hats. For example I joined one startup (~12 employees) as the sole DevOps engineer but it

Well as someone that has had the "joy" of implementing a lot of the ones that exist in the US: SOC*, HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI-DSS, a handful of DoD ones. I think if they seriously taught them in schools it would cause a lot change of m

Ill place my bet that the squeeze will get harder on developers and there will be new "compliance officers" in the office that dont actually do anything but make silly demands to waste peoples time. So pretty much the same as ever

Its difficult to quantify a best strategy as there a many more variables at play than just what the customers can afford. There is usually a "sweet spot" for every type of customer that is a careful balance between price and amoun

Erlang is largely a different kind of niche than Haskell and lisp. Its more focused on distributed and reliable processing than more general purpose. In effect its the Actor model taken to the extreme. Where I'd categorize Haskell and

If you are referring to fastest in terms of wall & CPU time running. Without spending a lot of time optimizing your code yourself, I suspect SBCL would take the crown for vast majority of cases. If you do hyper optimize, the gap with sc

Wow, this might just be a new high of entitlement here on HN. This really seems like the poster has some kind of problem with Dennis. Why else would someone be so insistent that Dennis should not be supported and that he will do something m

Have used both professionally (but mostly IDA). Its definitely not surpassed IDA in every category yet but it gets closer every update. I think IDA still wins in at least: disassembler quality of the popular instruction sets (e.g., some kno

Just got a bit closer to WEF's "prediction" for 2030. "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy" Doesn't seem very... Democratic or even republic to me... Source: https://twitter.com/we

Yeah I was indeed referring to Pylance, the Microsoft one. I was unaware that pyright was used under the hood, thanks.

Yeah, I think I agree with you. I still find it curious that the python language server is quite capable of inferring types from unannotated code yet most of the type checking tools for python seem to explode as soon as they encounter an ve

I'm not sure go should be compared to python as they are designed for very different things. Go is more fairly compared against modern c++ or rust in my mind. Python is not designed to be lightweight or fast (although it has been consi

The rarity of these companies varies widely on sector. I agree that it will be difficult to find typical tech startups that wont try to squeeze the maximum amount of time out of you. If you want high chance of relaxed workloads, look for la

Just checked, latest zone file for .com is 4.9GB compressed, .net is only 456 MB compressed (2.2GB decompressed). Not sure how large .com is decompressed as CZDS is giving me download issues for .com today but some rough extrapolation from
