So is part of the bet here that future potential efficiency numbers will continue to increase at a rate faster than silicon can? Or is strictly a low cost play?

This is not a good experience. I’ve tried it a few times because it sounds great on paper: declarative, portable, consistent dev environment! Who doesn’t want that? In practice it’s slow, laggy, and a maintenance time sink. I haven’t tried

Ha! Fair point. I didn’t mention that I’ve also had fingers pierced to the bone by birds.

I think the idea that it needs to be tested before just jumping in and trying it somewhere is just a way to state that you don’t support it. Which is fine, but just say that. If there had been the same testing requirements around say Ca

So we are talking at best 8+ years out for anything to actually happen if we wait for election cycles to trickle up.

Are we? Both parties seem pretty staunchly opposes to providing healthcare to citizens. Requiring everyone to purchase from the private insurance industry doesn’t really count.

A lot of the basic rhythms and tempos (aside from the ones directly taken from west African music via American blues) were mimicking locomotives / steam engines. Personally I think distortion does a good job of conveying emotion /

There are other benefits from decentralization besides just sustainability, such as resiliency and autonomy.

I did not mention the configs, because those are plain text and do not really add dependencies I don’t already have. Are you saying that Java projects tend to have more sane defaults and come bundled with more out of the box? The last Java

Thanks for the extremely insightful context. With so much first-hand knowledge of this situation, I’m having a hard time processing how you don’t have an opinion on it. It seems that this is exceedingly detrimental to the well being of lite

It seems fairly notable already. It doesn’t even take a future look back. Compare the current access to healthcare amongst citizens of the wealthy “1st world” countries to the United States. Amid a pandemic, the number has dropped by millio

It took a full two years after the 2008 transfer of taxpayer money to financial institutions for the Occupy movement to get going. It’s possible that the scale of the current corporate welfare program + health pandemic + inaccessible healt

It’s a valid question. I’m a long time python user but haven’t ever had to work with zip files and didn’t know the answer.

It was apparently hard enough that you had to build a prototype and consult other prior write ups. When you really need something done it’s sometimes very helpful to be able quickly get it done.

This is a bi-partisan issue. Both parties, just as they did in the 2008 crisis, fully prioritize and support the transfer of taxpayer wealth to corporations. Look at timelines in both corporate bailouts and you will see how fast the governm

That’s not a very free market approach. This also assumes demand will just magically bounce back. If demand goes away, why not let these suppliers fail and let the market sort out how/when/if demand returns.
