Move the company abroad and fire all their Australian staff, no less.

> if you depend on reviewers seeing that a change will break something, you are in for a world of hurt on any large project. I don’t agree with this at all. Here’s a counter example: Linux. I think the real problem here is that people do

I think he’s using the broader definition of computer in this case. Think microwaves etc.

That isn’t the same though because a cheap off-brand iPhone clone still isn’t an iPhone by a long shot.

Your team can’t function without third party software logging database access? What exactly does your team do?

They’re only embracing OSS because the price of software is now zero. If your software is free there’s seldom reason for it not to be libre also.

There was no point to misinterpret, it was just an observation. You claimed that quality of life for a tech worker is relatively garbage. I was simply providing context as to why — tech workers make lots of money (comparatively) but it’s ha

Swede here. I think this is because it's really, really hard to improve your quality of life in any meaningful way by just spending more money. Especially in the city.

Yes, you’re describing pretty much every environment I’ve ever worked in. I’m not arguing that k8s is the wrong tool to manage that kind of complexity. I’m arguing that, in almost all cases, that kind of complexity is completely unwarranted

I can’t speak for the Valley but there’s not been many real breakthroughs in this space to innovate on. Apple, a trillion dollar company, still can’t bring something more exciting than the Apple Watch to market.

I think this attitude is part of the problem. > Do you need to do rolling deployments? Boom. Kubernetes pays for itself right there.m No, you don’t need to do rolling deployments. > Do you need someone else to join you on ops duties?

Getting paid a premium to go in and fix other people’s mess is just a regular consulting gig.

So in reality it is just as sensitive.

The ratio of good games has dropped but that’s because the market is a lot larger now. You can still fill all your free time playing “good” games and completely ignore the rest of the market.

Sorry but the idea that most people will become “economic drains” in the next 20-30 years is ludicrous. Are you saying that there’ll be nothing worth doing, at all, that people can meaningfully contribute to after 2050?

If you use two different Linode regions this outage shouldn’t affect you at all? The CDN thing is a pet peeve of mine too. Are you even measuring load performance? Where are your customers located? If you’re just wanting to throw everything

HTTP/2 requires https in most (all?) browsers these days. If you’re measuring load times locally this can be a bit of a problem.

WebRTC is garbage for group video. Since all clients have their own set of protocols they support you either have to a) re-encode N times to give each client what they want or b) use some sort of lowest common denominator encoding that all

This is the world we live in. Why can’t I access websites over ipv6 even though they’re hosted on cloud providers with ipv6 support? Because just getting people to change their configuration without an immediate benefit to themselves is arg

So much internal tooling at a company can be avoided if you can just get people comfortable with basic *nix programs. No, we don’t need a web interface to show that data. No, we don’t need to code a dropdown to sort it differently.

Poor phrasing on my part. I meant that fast websites can already be built without adhering to the AMP standard.

by beokop 9y ago
Even so, I’m tired of jumping through hoops to adhere to bullshit standards that make life hard without any actual benefit. We have HTML and CSS, why do we need AMP? How does my personal webpage benefit from HTTPS? Why did they enforce mand

We chose to use PHP for our site redesign after using React, Elm and Jekyll in other projects. It’s really liberating. No spending days setting up a build/deploy process. Gets out of your way unless you actually need it. Everything inc

Yeah but when you think about it, you’re probably still working in an industry that frowns upon pajamas in the workplace. Just because it’s OK to not wear a suit doesn’t mean that people aren’t judging you.

You can’t have it both ways. YouTube is providing a free video hosting service, something that is way more valuable for the creator (poor country or not) than $2/month.

How is the “new world currency” being updated ~10 times a day reassuring at all? All it takes is one serious bug to wipe out $240bn of wealth.

Any activity that lets you practice curiosity and creativity. Make music, play video games, figure out why the WiFi is spotty in that one room. Also, learn to type fast.
