That's not a typo. But it doesn't seems that you are engaing in a good faith discussion so I don't think further elaboration is worth anything.

Code that is sensibly written in a non-pessimized manner is not hard to read or modify. That's the whole point of my comment. The word "optimization" as currently used confabulates two separate concepts: - Non-pessimization (

It does not generalize from low level micro optimizations to high level sensible system design. At the low levels you really have no idea where the performance bottle necks are without profiling and getting actual numbers to work with. At t

Of course, if your deployment mechanism needs to be complicated, standarizing on something everyone knows is useful. The underlying assumption behind my comment is that you really really want to simplify your deployment as much as you can.

That would only be true if you actually need 90% of what k8s provides and will end up reproducing it poorly.

If the official homepage of something doesn't tell you what it is, where are you supposed to obtain that inforation?
459.
by hsn915 4y ago
That's still very generic so as to be almost no information. Imagine if python's homepage had no code samples at all, and the getting started page said "Python is a programming language for high productivity".

I just use esbuild with a small script to build things to my likings. It has worked wonderfully and infinitely better than all other build setups I've seen people do.

All you did is describe the increase in complexity of the infrastructure. Which does not rebut the point, because that is the point. The infrastructure people are using now is much more complicated than what was common 15 years ago. If yo

If you have a small number of records what do you need an engine for? Just write a for loop.

The whole point of a database engine is to make efficient use of disk space by allocating pages and distributing the data across them so that inserting or removing small elements does not result in megabytes of data rewrites

I don't think that meat is the deciding factor. I simply don't know what the deciding factor is, but only animals seem to have consciousness. I say "seem" but only in a philosophical sense. Of course we can't really

> You can also get it to agree that it is not conscious. Careful about how you word this. Only a conscious being can agree that is not conscious. I think you mean you can get the program to output text that proclaims its lack of consciou

by hsn915 4y ago
Yes but then we are talking about different things. If you want to assume that the adder circuit might be conscious then you might as well assume that a chair has some consciousness.

The same way I account for the fact that people can use different languages to communicate and cooperate to build things, including cars. Language is arbitrary in the same way, because it is basically just a way of encoding information. The

I suppose your argument is, consciousness on the system level does not require individual parts to be conscious. So let me expand a bit of why I used the adder circuit as an example. There's nothing about addition that can say "th

by hsn915 4y ago
Computation does not have anything essential to it that makes it different from other "atoms jumping around" other than it produces outputs that we find interesting. There's no reason to expect an adder circuit to be aware th

There are many ways to be disgruntled by this, but IMO you should instead think of it as an opportunity. If the world was full of well behaving well designed software, it would be difficult to find useful things to contribute. Since the wor

What is the point of reading fast? It degrades the value you get out of it. Might as well just read some notes or reviews or summaries written by other people. Obviously reading fast is better than reading slow, but if you're going to

This but unironically. Your feelings are often a good heuristic. If something makes you feel depressed, it's because your mind has gathered enough information from past experience to know the situation is hopeless. It's your mind

There's nothing fundamental about Go that makes it unsuitable for GUIs. It is objectively better than Javascript in many respects, not least of which is performance. There are only two major blocking issues I see, and none of them is u
