There are a lot of people who thinks there will be less AI investments soon since a lot of projects may have a problem showing profitability. We'll see.

I think the discussion comes from the view that React has not had any server side framework and that may be very useful. A lot of the comments fail to differ between client side and server side tech. Meta was probably using php for their ba

No, JSX was created by Meta (Facebook) when they developed React. It dos not predate it.

If you have many app servers and they all run copies of the same app you can roll out new versions to a few servers at a time. You just have to handle the db update first but you need to do that with microservices anyway (they might use sma

I think Amazon (and Google and other FAANG entities) work at another scale than 99.9% of the rest of the world. The problems they face are different, including the impact of data locality. I've seen many systems where there are a few h

I'm not the one who wrote above but I see JSX as having fewer magic things than all other template languages I've seen. Take a look at Angular to see some complicated syntaxes examples. Vue and Svelte are better but, IMHO, not as

Azure is really simple if you use dotnet. Just create an app and then click scale-out (or scale-up). They of course support docker and k8 also. And Azure functions which are like lambda in AWS.

Depends on if the 4 hours a week was all time I had to be at the office or the time I could do something useful but still had to be there 40 hours. For the first option it might be ok. I could find other things to do, maybe start my own lit

There have been some articles about this idea but nothing seems to be decided. They may go into parks later or may not. Some thinks they may just license the IP so you could go to a Stranger Things ride in some other park. Building a park l

I think it has a very different timing than java. When java came out c++ was the standard and java was clearly easier (although slower). Go is not that much easier than java or c# and it is not much faster. I don't think the standard l

There are in-memory db's that also write to disk. They can offer both persistence and crash tolerance. I tried o e that even had a better solution to the object-relational mismatch, you just got objects, which made development very ea

A declining population may not be a huge problem if it is temporary and it is mostly older people who die. Getting fewer kids cause problems and if the decline just continues for centuries or millenia you may end up with a very, very small

I think the rate of change is pretty slow right now but number of births per woman has gone down. If these lower levels stay or goes down further then the population will start to shrink faster in many countries. Some countries may be able

In this case I also think the article was really thin on details. Some people get $10,000 written off, others get some other limit to how much they will pay and so on. No clear details I could see about what the limits are and who will be t

One main issue I see is that it is a huge difference between FAANG and other companies but everyone seems to do the same as FAANG. I don't live in the US but I think even different US companies has different needs. Our current problem

This is the first time _ever_ that I've heard git UX described as simpler or easier than something else. As far as I remember Mercurial was easier to start with but Github came along and won.

Is go really used a lot? I know some larger corporations use it but I don't hear much about it otherwise. The most obvious plus side I hear about is the small memory footprint and fast boot time which makes it good for functions-as-a-s

Great response! I will steal this and turn it around the next time some non-technical person asks me about serverless and such stuff. I will compare it to owning a car, using a taxi and maybe leasing a car or using a car-fleet.

Most of the changes are not _breaking_. There are new ways to do things but the old still works. You can have both an api controller and a minimal api in the same application. I agree that it is hard to know which version a specific blog po

The ones I've tried or at least looked at had pretty good docs up to a limit. For simple things most of them had pretty good docs. For advanced features it was a hit-or-miss with the docs. It may say how to do the things I wanted or it

Many CMS's have limitations in what they allow you to style. The needs kind of clash, the system wants simple templates that every page should follow but writers may want to be able to put some extra styling here and there. For full fr

I just feel that I often need some feature that is a bit time consuming to build. On the other hand the site generators I've tried had missed some feature or another also and they are usually harder to change.
