Yup, that’s quite the insight. (Although I don’t understand why you write banks are forced by law to buy.)

Wut? It doesn't use Lucene any more? Wow, what else is out there in the Java world that does full text search?

My pet let-down is https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-1330 this feature alone would make Jira orders of magnitude more versatile. So much that you could build a totally new product around it :P

Honest question: where does all the RAM go? If a chrome tab eats about 200 MB ram, shouldn’t an electron app consume about the same? After all Electron is just an SPA with all the assets packaged with the browser engine. Like the zip’d web

You cannot change the world alone, that’s an infantile Randian fantasy. You need help from other people to succeed. You don’t need to be an absolute despot to achieve even the most ambitious goal. Look at NASA and what they manage.

If that's all, we can simply add a couple Operations Research classes to ant engineering curriculum and we'd be done.

Fine, but it’s not for you to decide which analogies I’m allowed to make. Also, have you read the definition I copy-pasta’d? Finally, as other have already commented, your framing is wrong: he hasn’t just been fired, but it’s being argued t

Won’t you get RSI to your thumbs with this keyboard? How’s it better compared to a stenography keyboard?

Sorry, imho it’s best consumed via the mobile app. Indeed all these “web-apps” should just be taken out of the browser and leave it to hypermedia experience. They can be their own native app just as fine

Was this guy inspiration to Kubrik for his Dr. Strangelove film? If so, which character in particular?

Precisely. I saw it coming last year with all that print wasted on the "great resignation" and the "WFH revolution". It's the post-COVID Restoration.

Well maybe it'll be a renaissance for many different and new projects. With Google hoardning all this talent and cushioning them on non-strategic, prestige tasks the ecosystem became desolate (thus enhancing Google's role as beaco

Ah no, please spare me. Also recruiters, what a lot! I was once invited to their lair and I couldn’t help notice the leaderboards, the brass bell to be rung when deals were closed, and the smell of Axe deodorant. Quote literally the set of

Isn’t that peak “liberal libertarian”? The government staying out of the “market” to avoid any distortion, it’s only legitimate move to be staying out of the ways as much as possible, occasionally cleaning up the mess with generous subsidie

Yeah, that’s a reasonable argument, thanks. OTOH 10 years is a long time, also business strategies and needs change. Just chalking it off to “Elmo does stupid” is cheap IMHO
