I don't "rent" anything online because the price is insane. Let's talk $1 to watch something once. That's reasonable and a price I'd pay. $4-5 to watch something in my own home is not.

Personally, I'd much rather wait for a 1-2 second page load than have a page load quickly and peg one of my CPUs because of some poorly written Javascript.

I would add to this that while knowledge of computer science algorithms and data structures is _absolutely_ useful, being able to implement a binary search tree RIGHT NOW, in under an hour, is not necessary for... pretty much any job anywhe

When I was ten years old (late 90s) I was able to publish a site using a WYSIWYG host of the time (Homestead). It was crappy, of course, but it was something. And it was easy.

There are two major issues with Bitcoin for me. First, crypto is always broken eventually. We have seen the deprecation of crypto algorithms time and again. Why should we assume Bitcoin is immune to this phenomenon? It's a high-value t

Thanks for the detailed reply! It's been fun engaging with you. You have really hit the nail on the head about risk, and what it means to go "all-in" on a particular provider. There's a very relevant case to be made for

If I can summarize your points in short, I'm getting that your view of Kubernetes is that it abstracts complexity that is inherent to our problem domain in an attempt to simplify it as best it can. In particular that is true around dep

Yes, but we're not talking about IP and this misses the point. Kubernetes, as a technology, has support tooling being built around every interface it has. Just to install Kubernetes you've got Kubespray, Kops, kubeadm, minikube, o

Neat idea and a cool project. That something like this is necessary is yet another testament to the complexity of Kubernetes.

The small stdlib is part of it. The fact that identifying an object's type is so difficult is another part of it. It's also more foundational to JavaScript.

If you have a basic idea of how high availability apps and databases work and you write code that isn't woefully inefficient, it's trivial. Lambda scales pretty much infinitely. EC2 autoscaling instances behind a load balancer pro

Web browsers have had callbacks for DOM elements since... forever. Why did we need to add an entire component framework like React on top of it? Everything on a web page does not need to be interactive. It's a document first. Web appli

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this. Are the people building React completely oblivious to the nigh-unbearable code smell that this is? Why is it so difficult to reason about whether or not code will have side effects? I&#
