This implies that the engineers who lobbied so hard for microservices were even all that concerned with these benefits to begin with, and took this into account when designing the architecture of the system. More often than not, in my exper

You're absolutely right. These people have seriously marred my view of the language.

You've just described my nightmare scenario. I'm currently experiencing "Messaging app fatigue" and I'm not using even a quarter of the apps that you are.

I was hoping that this article was going to be more of an in-depth critique of the poor state of regulatory capture and disruption of democratic institutions by bad actors in the private sector. My local state government ( NSW ) has been st

I don't think that really excuses the use of Electron. Cross-platform GUI frameworks like Qt/GTK+ already exist to resolve this issue. This problem was already solved before Electron came around. All Electron did was lower the bar

Isn't this the kind of thing we've been looking to move away from? I personally think that this modern trend of implementing, or even worse -porting-, important functionality in Javascript is very worrying. There was another recen

I came here to say the exact same thing. I used to find that the act of prying myself away from the computer to go have a cigarette was incredibly beneficial to my problem solving ability. There is definitely something to performing a simpl

Surely reckless indifference as to the outcome of his actions must at some level attribute him some moral culpability for what he did. Thieves might say that their intent wasn't to deprive others, simply to enrich themselves. Soros may

I absolutely disagree. Taken categorically, your point here would effectively silence any critique or analysis of Soros' intentions, character and actions. You're right that he is a contentious character subject to many conspira

Thank you for the kind words! I can't take credit for breaking any real ground though. My experiments are quite small in scale! I agree, formally verifiable operating-systems should really be the future. Take a look at Muen, they'

MISRA C definitely makes many improvements in this area. However, writing decent Ada code is so much easier than writing C code that conforms to MISRA ( or JSF ) standards. There's a pretty good comparison here: https://lear

Your post doesn't address the point that many of these "write a new operating system in my favorite language X" projects have great pedagogical value to the individual developing them. I've done plenty of experimentation
