Local lag was significantly reduced over recent years, low latency modes of TVs/monitors, 60 and more fps even for console games, etc. So the baseline moved. That affects remote gaming also, but in a much smaller proportion. Remote gam

That applies how vendors/contractors are treated in our industry. Oh man, some FTEs have no manners.

It's the same story: no matter if it's phone, TV, car, home, washing machine - it comes to product vs product. The core functionality is the most important, but all things around also matter. TVs are quite similar, so competition

I'm attached to the ecosystem, like watch, home hub, use Google One, Photos, etc. I was very close to switch to Apple, but picked a Samsung S series phone which is the first Android device that is actually polished. Imo Google made a m

Let me continue: no type erasure, type safe generics, switch case guards, native tuples, async/awiat in loops and lambdas, the language becomes more and more functional with every version, and on top of that, .NET Framework has quite c

SQL opens up when used with OLAP schemas. Most devs are experienced in querying "object mapped" schemas where cube, roll up, etc. are not useful. Nothing bad per se, but it can give an impression that SQL is a bad language, when a

3k SLOC of devops code to cover a system of that scale is super impressive. And I agree, there's no reason to invest in k8s when only a small fraction of its capabilities is necessary (or we have a team that's already experienced)

I've moved to a company that doesn't use Kubernetes at the moment (and that's a 100% calculated and rational decision). What I see, is that a lot of effort is put to provide functionalities that Kubernetes brings. In case of

Unfortunately, I share the impression, even the most basic "office work" use cases are not covered, like switching audio devices or UX decisions that make no sense, like auto-ditching notifications (like what the heck, the UI know

Well, yes and no - nothing can compete with Excel in terms of modeling speed and agility. A capable analyst can do miracles with Excel, find other routes to a solution, and then produced model can go to Python/Pandas developer for the

Green threads and async/await are orthogonal concepts. Both can be used at the same time and separately. Jep 425 brigns VM threads, but the API remains same as the old one. Without deep language extensions any concurrency improvements,

It would be nice to see some alternatives, "it's awful" isn't very constructive. From my experience JWTs significantly simplified development: simple model, easy to understand, standardised, easy to "debug". Sh

The charging port at the bottom was a minor issue for me, but I experienced constant lag and random disconnects. Magic Mouse was beautiful, but flawed in many ways. I use MX now, it just works and don't cause any distractions.

I have used this approach and now I perceive mocks as a bad code smell. It's worth noting that long and complicated flows need to be wrapped in sagas (which are just imperative shells) and things can get not so easy. I would love to he

Exactly this. Including gas as green energy looks like a joke. Even 270g of CO2 per kWh is an awful number. No idea if that's lobbyists work but "if you have no idea what something is about, then it is about the money".

Git it fine, maybe the naming could be better, but it's just something that anyone can get used to. The real issue is crazy workflows people tend to invent instead of using something common like Gitflow. But I have to admit that I pref

It doesn't hold at all. Open source licences usually clearly state that there are no guarantees. The contract is clear and log4j (or any other) authors don't owe anything to anyone. If you want guarantees, pay for it.

Same experience with a medium sized Rails project here. I joyfully ejected after several months, I needed a detox from the untyped mess, every singe library was different, there were no coherent apis/interfaces at all. All Rails patter

ES is really great, but just for a narrow set of service types and when it's applied locally in a closed bussines domain. But as a global system architecture, nope, I tried that once and it only brought more costs.
