More like the law was written in cooperation with the people that became wealthy through means that used to be legal and protected themselves and their legacy by kicking away the ladders they used.

The crisis is primarily that many J2EE projects are fundamentally cost center projects designed to be written once and maintained by a low-cost team and are thus focused more upon compliance to standards and consistency than creative proble

You're looking at this ecosystem after we've already gone through multiple versions of EJBs that are all very different from each other, several different JMS implementations from many vendors now deprecating them (IBM is deprec

J2EE was designed for an era when big, monolithic entities were creating most of the production-grade software out there, SMP hardware was extremely expensive and capital-intensive, and open source software was largely considered a joke by

I have no debt, some liquid assets, but still rent. I know I'm better off than a lot of the country but being in the top n% of income in the wealthiest country in the world but enjoying little of the amenities besides basic infrastruct

It is an advantage in specific situations when you can't rebuild every container or you want to try to selectively update containers without rebuilding them. You should try to update the running containers as a rule but having options

A possible option for containers that all run JVM applications is to have a volume mount for all of them that points to an external filesystem containing the JAVA_HOME contents. This somewhat violates certain containerization principles but

I agree with the argument but not the evidence - I have seen a lot of good tech managed directly into the ground by management teams that have clear track records of non-success. Bad products being sold and kept alive through clever /

There's also factors like input lag that are separate from display refresh that can be a problem for people playing action games. Even casual players can notice some high input delay from time to time (we're into the 100ms+ range)

To be contrarian, I'll point toward financial engineering (not retail or I-banking and such) such as Renaissance. It takes some pretty crazy and smart people to dig into FPGAs and HDLs trying to write what would normally be CPU based a

That kind of system seems similar to how Aldi encourages people to return shopping carts with quarter "deposits" or let others put them back for a quarter.

A lot of people porting older applications that depend upon base OS assumptions into containers will probably be using more full-featured containers. With greenfield applications I would expect more use of Alpine or even the scratch base im

This kind of division of labor was shown in the recent Westworld series on HBO I think. They didn't get into the economics of the real world (wisely, I'd add) but there were clearly different tiers of jobs vaguely resembling curre

CloudFormation's approach for post-provisioning deployments is much more limited than the options that Terraform provides as first-class citizens. For example, there's a Chef provisioner as well as local-exec and remote-exec. With

Similarly, the open source review process for so many companies I've seen has been so onerous that it was easier to write your own proprietary clone with absolutely none of the community and review possible with OSS. Enterprise process

The problem isn't so much of setting up a CI server as much as the fact that the task requires some time and resources from potentially other people. It might need approval for a simple VM with some disks, for example. But more importa

There's some evidence in software engineering research that offshoring isn't the problem but that the distance between team members on an organizational chart, however, is much more important. It's ok if an external party com

One other important point is that the very term "root cause" is extremely harmful in that it presumes a primary failure and already seeds the idea of one bad actor and, by proxy, blame. Systems today are too complex to blame upon

People in this thread talk about IBM like they're the only well known vendor that does this - far from it. All of IBM's enterprise competitors doing professional and managed services such as HP do this as an industry practice. Thi

The problem is that a lot of access points advertise n Gbps but that refers to full system bandwidth on multiple channels and such so you got somewhere close to what they were really expecting you to get. Heck, my Ubiquiti Unifi AC Pro can

A great deal of jobs in US defense are completely bureaucracy and make-work programs in disguise while the political discourse makes it sound like our soldiers are so underfunded they're marching into battle with muskets and bayonets.

I never got the impression that Chinese food is upscale as a Korean. 짜장면 may as well be pizza and hot dogs for Koreans, for example. However, the Chinese cuisine meal I had for well over $300 / head in Choson hotel years ago was certai

A bit more on topic, I was asked to read a book on leadership and teamwork that's a bit of a cliche these days but Coach Wooden's Leadership Game Plan for Success covers a lot of these ideas specifically in a sports context. A lot

I guess I already covered that in the culture of desiring parties to choke. Whether it's a vendor or your own employees, leaders that rule by fear like to find scapegoats to shift blame away from themselves and take credit for others&#
