I never had any issue where the task queue would go down but not the rest of our infrastructure. If it's a large system (which is definitely relative) then it can become a job on it's own to keep this part of the system running. B

Because it's unusable. And it's awesome only because pretty few people hack their own portfolio into an unusable format. If more people did it, even if the format was different for each (which is hard to imagine), the cool factor

Because it's one more service that you have very little control over and one more service that you have to manage over a web interface or (maybe) their own command line tool. It's on a separate network so they may go down and caus

It's absolutely not the same ball park of risk. First of all, once you have a reasonable business, you'll have a number of employees (and multiple teams). And teams are unlikely to stand up at once, not to mention all your employe

People using AI to generate crap faster is definitely a (short term) risk. And, BTW, not only with code. I read an article stating that in a few years (2-3, can't remember) 80% of content only will be generated by AI. Which would be a

Sure, most software developers prefer to automate as much of our work as possible. Starting with compilers, build systems, reusable software (libraries, frameworks), etc. But these are fundamentally different from AI. As I mentioned above,

No/low-code not working this time either is not a surprise. All these attempts have been made several times throughout the history. Also, as Fred Brooks famously said there is no silver bullet: no/low-code promised to be a silve

While I have been expecting AI to replace programmers for a while, the thing I was never sure about whether this will manifest itself as a business for some companies or whether it means the end of people creating apps altogether. Another r

Yep, some people seem to have a proclivity towards thinking that whatever is (or seems) disadvantageous to them (or a group they identify with) is somehow done on purpose by someone/a group that will profit from the said thing. But if

Yeah, and Linux will probably have an even longer support period. But MS is in a totally different business. HW manufacturers build and sell new devices to customers who then buy software from a different company (MS). One of the selling po

That's a fair point, but indeed a lot of people will kill their phone in less than 3 years. Either breaking the screen (which, IIUC, will be also replaceable/self servicable) or killing the battery. Most sources say that the batte

Unless the price of the upgrades cover the support. Yes, of course, it would be a gamble, because nobody can predict what the demand would be in 3-4-5 years. But I wonder whether they could reduce the cost with smart software engineering (i

Ah, this was pretty tiring. Couldn't read the whole thing, but the book she was quoting from was probably the worst part. E.g. this quote is especially upsetting and dumb: > Men have not been compelled to use sexuality as a leverage

I don't think dating apps are designed to make women picky per se but they definitely end up distorting their perception and turn them into overly picky for sure. This has always been the case with all dating apps from the start (excep

Interesting. But it seems that MINIX does not run on the (same) processor as we're running Linux on (which would have been pretty surprising) but there is a separate low power CPU on the mother board that runs the management software

I didn't downvote you but I think equating the Russian attack on Ukraine with the American war on Iraq is probably what earned you the downvotes. Especially because you seem to equate the too based on the extent and number of war crime

Yeah and I'm pretty sure that those people who can't get a short enough mating partner will just abstain from doing so... So much stupidity in this piece that it's hard to address all of them.

Now this is what I call tall-shaming... Just kidding. It's just stupid and probably self-affirmation. Maybe, just maybe, if you want to save on food, especially talking about the US (or the EU), then it would be easier to stop overeati

That's what people have been telling themselves for over a decade, I think. At least articles on news sites about who should be wary of AI and how much had been quite fashionable back then. And then people would respond with "yeah

I miss programmers from the list. For some reason we tend to think we'll be among the last ones to be automated away, while programming is probably the best documented job on the internet, the job with the largest training set. We also

Discarding just the half of the poison solution and doing it 6 times just dilutes it down to 1/64th of the original concentration. I guess the video you mention wants to debunk homeopathy, but the maths as you describe it doesn't
