A read replica of your OLTP db, will get you a long way before worrying about all of the complexities and inefficiency of the buzzword based approaches.

I don't think I described how unit costs and margins are calculated.

I agree mostly with your points, other than when you get into how much the cars cost. The unit price of the cars isn't really relevant to the cost of developing it's software. A low cost model that moves sells a lot of units, can

Setting measurable performance expectations for software roles is notoriously difficult. Setting quantitative targets often leads to developers optimizing for whatever metric you set, while compromising on the details that aren't quant

I'm glad to hear that they are working on fixing this, but I would be keen to understand why quote searches have been so much worse over the last ~2 years.

It's one of the many system factoring challenges. It's difficult to define a hard and fast rule as to which is better. Often some combination of the two is ideal, particularly as the system grows.

It might be much less efficient per request than other popular languages, but it's stateless design, does at least prevent developers from using local memory caches, which can prevent a number of problems from cropping up when scaling

Payment gateway integrations might be one of the few legitimate non-advertising use cases I can think of for 3rd party cookies. What makes you say they don't need them?

To add to what other commenters have said, apart from the weapons proliferation issues, enriching uranium is very expensive. U-235 only makes up about 0.72% of natural uranium, the rest of it being U-238. Running a reactor on low enriched

I don’t think dotting nuclear reactors around everywhere would be politically very acceptable. Each plant will also require some level of staffing, operational and security staff. Seems more likely that small modular reactors would just b

Whats wrong with comparisons to Java, and why the need for you and the article author to throw shade at Java while singing the praises of C#? Java and C# are very similar languages.

Not to detract from your story, but it sounds like you are talking about subreddit moderators, not reddit admins. Subreddit moderators are unpaid and only control content on the subreddits they moderate, whereas admins are reddit employee

I imagine careless use of such a structure would be an easy way to create a memory leak. Is it possible to create persistent collections in js, that will free data no longer directly referenced?

My only experience with accenture was when they were brought in for a year long engagement to build some splunk dashboards. I sat near the consultants, and they would just spend all day working on projects for other clients.

Given how well Rosetta 2 works, it's probably not a show stopper.

Yeah but NLB can offload TLS from the app, which is what the parent commenter linked to. It’s not just passing through the TLS from the app(which is also possible).

If you have only heard a gun firing from a video, it sounds much different in person. A lot of microphones do a very poor job of capturing the sound, and even the best recordings can't capture just how loud guns can be.

I feel like it worked more reliably in XP and below, ever since vista I’ve had less success. With that said, system stability as a whole seems to have improved dramatically since those days, I don’t need to reach for it very often.

I think the connectivity issues were simply overshadowed by the deficiencies of the SecurityManager.

What is it giving you over an ec2 auto scaling group or ECS/Fargate? Both can scale as much as you like, your config can live as cdk/cloudformation/terraform code?

You can blame Linux distros as a whole, for being obsessed with dynamic linking shared libraries. The Linux kernel itself has a well publicized policy of not breaking user space and binary compatibility, but pretty much all distros regularl
