Honestly, with any vendor not named AWS, it's incredibly difficult to parse their actual "cloud" revenue. I believe Microsoft bundles in their Office 365 revenue just as Google does Docs. IBM stuffs in all sorts of seemingly

A Big 4 can't conduct a proper SOC audit without access to the cloud providers internal controls/processes. That's the problematic/expensive part since it requires a bunch of time from the cloud provider, which they will

I had a Windows phone and android simultaneously - I actually liked the UI on the windows phone but I think I may have been the only person on earth that did because I virtually never saw another one. From that perspective, I can understand

Just to clarify on the Go point - that was all made up BS from Rob Pike.

It's always interesting to find out about these niche subcultures. Having worked with batch schedulers of all varieties for a couple decades, I've never run across Sidekiq but, then again, I didn't realize anyone had actually

Speaking as someone who went through this process at a large financial firm, you're off by at least an order of magnitude. You need a SOC1 audit of each product you plan to use, which is likely quite a few if you want to take full adva

Missed the point - they are saying that, in the future, there will be no human generated content left on the Internet.

It's tempting to think so but there are a couple huge difference to 2008. For one, all the loans from before mid-2022 are quite affordable, so owners generally have little incentive to sell, limiting supply. Second, the critical aspect

You think banks would become less profitable by charging fees? Retail banking is not some wildly lucrative enterprise, generally speaking - it's the boring, stable-ish segment of finance. They're gonna make roughly the same margin

That's insanely unrealistic in the near zero interest rate era of the past decade and merely a really terrible idea with more normal rates. Banks have some set of relatively fixed cost, in terms of systems and staff. In a low rate envi

There are solutions to this - things like Dependabot go a long way and can integrate pretty seamlessly into your existing Git workflow.

That's how one might like to think traditional media works but then again the Lakers play in the FTX (previously Staples) Center, and plenty of other orgs have taken shady crypto money as well. It's not exactly like human review i

You should read up about DMA coming out of the EU. Privacy is possible even in a conglomerate.

Honestly, I felt the same way about several people I knew who made a small fortune off tech company stock. They weren't necessarily any more skilled than other devs I knew, but they lived in the right areas to get recruited and took th

They've been executing so well that they had to buy their way into the the AI space? Don't get me wrong, Azure has been quite successful but I don't see their investment into ChatGPT as reflecting any noteworthy change in Mic

Strongly disagree - they will lose credibility if they put out something half-baked. Yahoo existed long before Google search - they won because the experience was so much better that people started calling "Googling" rather than s

But first you need a company in dire enough straits that a critical mass of people understand a turnaround is necessary. Otherwise, that transformational leader may fire a few people but end up undermined by the masses who just don't c

I would expect it's a database consistency issue across some distributed NoSQL store.

"A few years ago" there were half the employees in total, or less. I'm guessing the L9 IC population has grown similarly - I just heard of a former colleague at another company bring hired in at that level. Also, not everyone

Ehhh... There's an interesting question there as to what degree some of these folks contribute to the bottom line. For sure, many have made groundbreaking contributions to the field, although often in an academic setting. That doesn&#x

Let's be real - Apple outsources the dirty work of hiring/firing loads of workers to Foxconn. If the demand for iPhones slips, there will still be people out of a job, it will simply be factory workers in China/India who like

Honest question - by the time you're scaling with GridGain, why are you still using Excel? Even Python is probably faster by a decent margin.

Sure, you can write safe C++ code but it's up to you to know all the patterns/syntax to do so. Other languages give you compile time errors when you try to do something unsafe.

Long time .NET developer here - I think criticism of Microsoft as being worse than other companies, particularly at that time, is valid. For the longest time, choosing .NET also required it to run on Windows Server which, besides the cost i

I work with some pretty smart people that build products whose names you would recognize. While some attributes ring a bell, particularly the "no consistent style" does not. If anything, the brilliant people I've worked with

Even if they could somehow magically install gigawatts of solar power, all those furnaces in people's homes still run on natural gas.
