Sure, every logistics system has limits. But “it would take time to ramp up” isn’t the same as “the US can’t do it.”

In terms of logistics ? US is the best ever conceived in the history of mankind.

And you can label every political withdrawal a military defeat regardless of what happened on the battlefield. US achieved major objectives, failed at building self-sustaining governments, and eventually withdrew.

The nation-building project ultimately failed. That is not the same as achieving nothing, nor is a political withdrawal the same thing as being militarily defeated.

There have been 60-70 F15 and F16s operating in Iran (could be more just found via public sources).

No. Both cases were wins. Saigon fell 2 years after US combat forces left for example. In both cases, Washington chose to stop sustaining a local government that could not survive on its own. Saigon fell on April 30, 1975, which was a littl

Communist Hanoi and Taliban. Who governs those countries matters, but America cannot spend unlimited blood and treasure ensuring that every country is governed by people we approve of. The threats were eliminated. Mission accomplished.

> The US doesn't even have reliable ways of getting goods and materials into the theatre and has limited quantities of everything. This is not true. US is known for the best logistics in the world.

It’s a clickbait article

Air superiority was established fairly early on in the conflict. Flying F-15 and F-16s now. Not even stealth and they drop more than just missles - they carry bombs. B-52s weren’t sent in to carpet bomb the area of that’s what you mean. US

I believe this is what we wanted computers to help us solve along with other prior hard problems prior to computers. This should be viewed as a good thing even if Anthropic, OpenAI, etc benefit just like IBM benefitted from mainframes.

OP is in the US where the term “Engineer” does not convey the person is certified or has professional training. That doesn’t mean that certain professional engineering disciplines exist that are regulated in the US. Systems Engineer, Comput

You are still mixing production and dev contexts. What is called software development environment is production for your software factory. It’s not development in terms of a sandbox for your deployment, Production environment. Within your s

When I say Production, I mean Production Software Development data like Coverity or Fortify databases. GitLab source code and pipelines. The premise is that Software Development is akin to Production which it should be.

by firesteelrain 3mo ago
It doesn’t have to because the premise of the article is that development environments akin to manufacturing (eg software factories) need to be treated like Production. It’s a given that you have enough resources to handle both.

You need more than one team working outages. It’s not one team doing it all.

When we do updates, I mandate that our teams do blue/green deployments meaning they setup the exact VM side by side with the actual production data and test with the new version of software (eg GitLab) before doing the DNS flip. This i

I don’t agree with the premise of the article as the video store as a social area. We would go to the movie/video game store nearly every Friday and Saturday in the 80s and early 90s. It was transactional. It wasn’t social - maybe this
