Are Polytechnics not considered universities in Europe? RPI (Rensalear Polytechnic Institute) or CalPoly (California Polytechnic Institute) for example in the US are just normal universities, usually with more of a technical, engineering fo

Starcraft becoming uber popular in Korea I think really hurt the RTS genre. I did play RTS games online when I was younger. But I think you're right, Everything went from lets make a fun game with a cool campaign, to lets make an Espor

We self host gitlab, so its very stable. But Gitlab also kind of is enterprise software. It hits every feature checkbox, but they aren't well integrated, and they are kind of half way done. I don't think its as smooth of an experi

There are literally people in this thread saying they wouldnt use ruby if dhh became lead because of his politics. Ruby in the west it seems to come up a lot. Mozilla/JS it came up with brendan eich being fired for his politics. Mostly

If Matz ever retires, I hope it is still maintained by Japanese devs, to keep the insanity that is western politics out of it.

Modern Java, obviously is still objects everywhere, but the deep inheritance is really discouraged. Interfaces with default implementations, records, lambdas. There is just a lot that has moved the culture away from that style of programmin

Palantir is along with SpaceX, Anduril, and a few others some of the most important companies in America. They are the ones that are pushing America forward. Not selling ads. But upsetting the incumbents that are undermining the DoD and nat

Java is very fast. You just have to account for the amount of absolutely terrible written Java code full of 6 levels of inheritance, 6 levels of nested loops and AbstractFactoryFactoryFactoryProviderImpls out there to slow it down. I swear

That github exchange is hilarious and bizarre. It's very obviously people talking to not people.

Nvidia already sells servers? What I don't really get, is that Nvidia is worth like $4.5T on $130B revenue. If they want to sell servers, why don't they just buy Dell or HP? If they want CPUs want not buy AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom o

Github is owned by Microsoft, so this is a pretty small time indie operation, you need to give them a break.

Hackathons can be fun. And I think that people should try and do one or two when they are in college (ideally run by a university, not a shady 3rd party). The microsoft puzzle challenge (idk if that still exists) is also great. These are fu

GLP-1s have been peescribed for like 20 years, but have been limited more to diabetics and extreme cases. So there is pretty good data. Not to say there isnt going to be side effects in some population sample, but we need to compare that wi

The route we ended up going, was hybrid cloud with a colocation for on-prem (Mainframes and a few servers), and then AWS for the cloud portion. Not sure on what the cost savings were. As I wrote the authentication service I knew what those

Peak Utilization is a tough one for on prem and is a decent argument for cloud. I was at a company that was also at <10% peak utilization most of the time. It was finance, so it was mostly doing nothing, except for the couple days a year

I really enjoyed learning Prolog in university, but it is a weird language. I think that 98% of tasks I would not want to use Prolog for, but for that remaining 2% of tasks it's extremely well suited for. I have always wished that I co

To steelman this: I've never worked at any of the companies you listed but most likely Red Hat and IBM employees (Is there still a difference?) are being paid specifically to work on Openstack, as they get money from support contracts.

Well in my experience, you only need to have 2-3 microservices running to do work locally.

by ecshafer 1y ago
I agree with this. Personally I think the two pizza team model, single responsibility isnot a great idea. Most successful "microservices" model I've worked on actually had 100ish devs on the service. Enough to make on-call, u

I feel like this misses too much real world context and caveats. What is the problem with Monoliths? Nothing. Until there is. The problem with monoliths is when you have a million LoC Java application that is on Java 6, and will take months

Republicans could end filibuster, true. That would probably be bad. Republicans dont have a filibuster proof majority, they need to negotiate. Democrats are dying on this one hill which is not a good idea that has little benefit https:&#x2
