I get the sentiment, but let us take a moment to remember that truly extinct species are not coming back, only those which were thought to be extinct or close to extinction. We should not think that a 6 month shutdown will undo all atrociti

Looking at your profile, I get the sense you are trolling :) but I have a bad time imagining the need for the elasticity of lambda for those single-user actions.

If you have static generated website and a CDN, why do you need Lambda/Function? Or do you mean these as a set to pick and chose from?

There were always idiots writing buggy code. The issues you mention are about “old software” on “old hardware”. GP is only talking about “old style of software development”. Granted Qt, X, Win API is unnecessarily complicated.

If anyone remembers, this is similar to the “Turbo Gears” vs “Django” of Python world. Turbo Gears allowed me to choose the best of each component - but pretty soon one ends up having to upgrade or migrate to the new-best-sub-component on a

Package management tools for both Rust and Go and JS do support direct github urls with minimal boilerplate. You have no reason to make something public unless you want to.

Github can help with this situation a lot. Yes, people are free to write and abandon whatever they want, but once a library has had hundreds of dependent users, and the primary repo is abandoned / unmaintained, Github could do a lot to

What I would like to see is something like Hadoop, Kafka, Spark rewritten in Rust. Something that will fundamentally change the landscape. Rewriting these Unix cli is only good learning experience

While I understand the point that they have money to burn, there are better ways to spend that money. Some items like “databases” are core to their SLA that it makes sense to invest. Build, source code management, etc are not “critical to d

Well, when one considers "no payload/data" flows through this system and it is merely managing metadata & workflow status, I wonder if it is web-scale enough :P your team will now ask for a cluster of these monstrosities

I wish IDEs (with collaboration from git) made it clear what should and shouldn’t be checked in to source control (or rather they had a way to do both) - where I want to store per-person level settings as well as shareable settings. In this

Some states like CA were prepared, but the federal government can’t leave these things for states to fend for themselves. At some point somebody somewhere will try to save a few million to make a budget match. Federal government burned 10 t
