Totally agree on 1-3. It then becomes experiential. If you have _no_ experience with your architecture and can't design then: cloud. #4 is FUD. You'll hire them or some devops guy(s) anyway. $5 Architecture changes that require st

No way. AWS is prohibitively expensive at scale as are decent managed servers. Several jobs back. Startup with 150k to spend on IT. * Buy 75k hardware. * Two colos <= 30k yearly + full managed support. * One PT SA 45K. That AWS budget d

Well, I am guilty of using reiserfs selectively (and with research + design) and having a really good experience with it. Maybe I should have done the same with btrfs but I took btrfs on faith and was burned.

To be absolutely honest I gave up on the idea of really good sex after 45. Enjoy your twenties and thirties. If you are in good shape in your 40's and aren't terribly experienced, ok..you may have some good sex. My definition of g

I see your point. What I was trying to get across is that there is a method to a sustainable model and then there is everything else that just makes money for a while. Nothing wrong with the latter except my personal opinion of it.

Selection and context are _so_ important, don't you think?

Always thought moving fast and breaking things was the least intelligent approach to any problem..except when people can only learn things the hard way and are in too much of a hurry to do anything but cash the check.

It's even more tiresome hearing a new generation of programmers constantly lamenting the fact that C requires a great deal of skill to develop in and that X or Y new language completely avoids C pitfalls. Not only is it dishonest but

It's also buggy as hell and though I've used SuSE for 17 years I almost stopped this year due to btrfs. Terrible decision from SuSE: but they aren't the company they used to be.

Not only that but in conjunction with journald you can achieve amazing disk space leaks that cannot be repaired easily without losing data.

Wholeheartedly agree that btrfs isn't ready for a real customer base. I wish SuSE would have learned that lesson before they pushed it as default.

When you look into the abyss the abyss looks into you. Right? You have to have the self belief and fundamental aim to make things better or leave it to beaver.

It should be mandatory for programmers to be able to concoct even bad examples of a sort algorithm in real time and create data structures for anything from a linked list to binary trees. It is also important to have candidate code samples

Years ago I travelled through norcal without stopping in to SF. Started in Crescent City, traversed into Oregon, past Shasta region and the farthest south I achieved was to Santa Rosa. Headed east to Oroville and then back to Crescent City

Nobody I know in the SA community uses sendmail much anymore. Maybe there are a few holdouts but if someone gave me the task of standing up an MTA it would be postfix.

When you let the other guy piss you off you have lost. Just be amused in general + skilled and have some trust in your abilities and intelligence and don't trust anyone but your people. If you sucked you will suck forever to the people

<sarcasm> I find your production model very attractive and your assumptions about other usage(s) persuasive. You must be an expert! </sarcasm>

Your approach is emblematic of programming as a culture of production versus a culture of understanding. I don't agree with any approach which characterizes a language as good or bad based on it's ability to read minds and make de

If by 'keeping libraries alive' you mean 'still using them' then millenials may be just like any other person who doesn't want to spend their own money for temporary access to varied information sources. US Librarie

Try it at 50. It's not a good field to be in at either of these ages unless you are in technical mgmt, architecture or direction.

My good god. Do you actually believe that this scenario reflects a weakness in C or a C compiler?

upvar and uplevel are also the only parts of the language that I do not use in production scripting. They have their place. It is not in end user space.

Old is relative. There is a good core dev community and recent development is promising. It's interesting you mention Lua because that is a language I picked up when looking to move from Tcl at some point in the last 8 years. I decided

I'll stick with Tcl if I'm going to use a glue language that has green thread like functionality and an event loop. early choices were tcl or perl: went Tcl and never looked back. As far as web development in perl..well have fun c
