>I'm not saying it is worth it, but yes, sometimes you can just inefficiently throw hardware resources at scaling problems Microservice scaling is also an inefficient hardware scaling option.

Not worshiping the Microservice, doesn't mean that you avoid services in different languages. Not all engineers need to move around - DS and MLEs are generally useless on the frontend, and vice versa.

It's really not a big surprise, tbh. Making data available to a thread on the same core has exceptionally high bandwidth. Just that alone will help with scaling.

You would hope so... but it's not necessarily the case. Often people are too lazy to issue API version change on a "bugfix", and take down multiple applications. Funny thing, a modularized monolith may have identified some of

There's literally censorship on HN, under your own definition. Also content moderation is quite literally censorship - deeming which expressions(which are actions) are appropriate and removing inappropriate.

And yet, I've been screwed over by recruiters many times. Simply because recruiting is a very low barrier job - you get countless bad recruiters... even at reputable recruitment agencies - horrible child-recruiters.

And in the end there's still an "at will employment" and "3 month probation period". Why TF would you waste so much time to then have all of that crap?

"perfect fit" because interviews are crap at identifying perfect fit.

That's the next step. You'll have a completely custom replaceable band of plastic on the four thin sides, that is discarded upon any authorized repairs.

That's fine. The issue comes in, when you lose all warranty on parts if someone opens up the phone. Which is unreasonable.... Imagine if your car warranty was contingent on you only using approved mugs inside the vehicle. There are vid

"Funny" though. EVs have less moving parts, than any ICE vehicle. And brushless motor control isn't a complex issue at all(if your EV has brushless motors, that is). If your EV had traditional brushed motor(s) - then it'

Groovy was too much of a "scripting feel" to it, maybe because the primary project was Gradle. Scala had a massive much more prominent project to rely on - Spark. Kotlin is getting traction because of Android.

> Sometimes, the tooling is even more important than language features IMO. That would be always. Tooling makes or breaks pretty much every language. Language itself is just a syntax that you write in.

by JAlexoid 4y ago
Yes. You either have a language that is easy or you have tooling to make it easy. If I cannot access documentation for a library/function at a mere tap of a button - that language isn't going into my toolbelt. I have to code in li

Let me correct myself - if you're in one contract doing the same thing for 4 years, there's something wrong.(IMO) I love contracting and it's my preferred method of working. However - staying in one contract for 4 years is a
