Is this agreeing with "Of course there are plenty of scenarios where latency does not matter at all." or are you trying to make a point?

Oh it was more of an addition to your point about "reducing complexity of managing the most frustrating things like the load-balancer and the database, albeit at a price of course". There is a whole mountain of complexity that mos

They also get some of the complexity of cloudy things when they run their own datacenter. In the end you find stuff like OpenStack which becomes its own nightmare universe.

There are tons of examples where low latency is good for business, even small businesses. I'm sure you've seen the studies from Amazon that every 100ms of page load latency is costing them 1% of revenue, etc. Also everything commu

While some of the complexity goes away when it's on prem in to parts of the US, having to order actual hardware, putting it into racks, hiring, training, retaining the people there to debug actual hardware issues when they arise, deali

Cloud providers automate things like lease renewals, dealing with customs and part time labor contract compliance disputes for that datacenter in that Asian country that you don't know the language of. I'm constantly fascinated ho

I don't think that's how the SRE role is described in the book. It shifts the boundaries between sysadmins and developers to give developers much more freedoms in deciding the operational parameters of how their softwane is run&#x

Read this, even if you are far away from any actual operation of the systems you work on. Read it especially then. Learning the princples and philosophy conveyed in that book helped me tremendously in my career (as a software engineer). Th

They also don't get any updates should vulnerabilities surface. Also they don't run newer software (which might be ok depending on your use case).

How do cost and energy usage play into this though? Let's say mining, refining and all industrial processes are electrified or using green hydrogen one day, electricity is really cheap, what does it matter how much costs are when every

If you don't use them and just run some webbing or similar, dynamic forces in a factor >2 fall will either snap your spine or the webbing, whichever gives in first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_factor

The difference is that in actual mountain climbing, people are usually experienced and equipped to gauge the risk of a fall and operate well within their range of capabilities. Via Ferrata is technically easy enough to attract less experien

The study is about the potential environmental impact that these in-the-lab battery technologies would have if they were scaled up to industrial scale in the future.

Why are these studies always factor in the carbon impact of production when they are looking at technologies that are at least a decade away from mass market adoption? Is there any reason to assume that production/mining won't be

Have you reached out to Hetzner? Feels like they should waive those bills in exchange for the free dev work you do for them.

Apple would have made a car without keys that you open with your phone and that has a big touchscreen with UI that doesn't have multi second latencies and hardware from 8 years ago in a brand new vehicle?

This looks like structured logging and piping those logs to Splunk or am I missing something?

Imho Teslas feel very much like a car that Apple could have designed. Lots of aspects of the whole experience are fundamentally different than other cars. Maybe I'm not thinking radically enough, but then Jony Ive is pursuing other car

They can use a headless component library and style it to their liking. I generally agree with you though. I've seen some really really badly made home grown component libraries that could have just been MUI (or others like it) with cu

This article is stating the obvious about any software abstraction: Don't over generalize up front but look at commonly used patterns and create abstractions from there that fit many use cases. At the same time, there are common patter

Any time you inherit from a concrete class (vs just implement an interface) you depend on something concrete and not an abstraction.

Your comment is involuntarily funny in the sense that 1999 style OOP Java is a serial offender of SOLID, not a prime example of it. It's mainly the Liskov Substitution and dependency inversion principles. If you have deep class inherit

I'd encourage you to look into bazel. It's really a great build system, albeit super opinionated. Should be relatively easy to build Skia as part of your project if you are using Bazel yourself.

Yes, it's built as part of Chrome IIRC.
