The problem arises when the infra providers’ setup stops being aligned with yours. Which, given a small organization and a long enough period of time, is guaranteed to happen. The question is then: is it just cheaper in the long run to deal

Completely agree. What also irks me is the corpspeak sleigh of hand, where the problem of maintaining your infrastructure is “solved” by using AWS Lambda. It’s not solved, you’re just paying some AWS contractors to do it for you and you ass

Thank you for the library tip!

Anyone who ever tried starting Lotus/IBM Notes cares about latency and performance now. I’m sure the JVM was great for the perceived developer productivity, but it doesn’t make a better product.

You’re right.

That’s a fair point!

So, they've been adopting open source tech, is what you are saying?

WL tried to discredit the Panama Papers (which feature some prominent Russian officials). That doesn’t look like just a factor of not having an international team.
373.
by jevgeni 6y ago
Well, it was a bit more complicated, because there wasn’t any transparency in what leaks WL was in possession of (only Assange held such info) and because Assange published information that had little public relevance, but brought him fame.

by jevgeni 6y ago
Since Russian is my native language, I read enough Russian papers. And I can tell when a western outlet overlaps with the official Russian party line a bit too much for comfort. So, I guess you admit that WL has a western bias? Also, they d

When I say “it is difficult to imagine”, what I mean by that is that it is highly unlikely, especially considering how Assange has a history of withholding leaks from publication for his own reasons. Conflict with Domscheit-Berg being prett

They don't seem to publish ALL the information they receive (Surkov emails aren't featured on Wikileaks, for example), the screening and vetting process for leaks is intransparent and ad hoc. Given their position and renown, it&#x

They never seem to publish any serious leaks pertaining to other countries with imperialist ambitions. For example, what bothered me, is that there wasn't anything on Russia. For example, the leaked Surkov emails (which among other thi

Wikileaks had such a strong Western bias that it hurt democratic movements in third world countries. So no, it's not that black and white.

The trial might be unfair, but it's tone deaf to call it "Stalinist".

I like it more than Svelte, personally. A little bit less magic (i.e. easier to reason about) and more performance.

Sounds like an organizational way of seeming open to something, but making sure it never flies. “We are happy to empower our younger colleagues. We only ask they have 25 years of experience.”

There's valid criticism of Rust and then there's what you are doing, which feels distinctly like flat-earthism of computer science. You pick arbitrary goal posts (like, pretending that "unsafe" isn't a keyword in &q

I think lifetimes are tripping dragonsh up. Also, C++ is a waaay more quirky and complex language. Can't see why C++'s complexity is fine, but Rust's (lower) complexity isn't.

I'd bet it has less to do with the cool CEO and more with the plethora of useful devtools and tech released by Microsoft lately. Also, being able to reach a person on the phone regarding my Azure billing was radically different to bein

There is no suggestion that Google stopped said practice as well. But the indignation on HN (at least) is usually left for anything but Google. You can see what information (broadly) Microsoft collects through Windows 10 in the opt-in scree

True. I also think the techbro meme of “M$ bad, Google good” still has a certain hold on people's minds.
