Probably quite a lot, 20% of the marginal cost or so? Maybe the truck driver has a bigger share, but they're a very similar case.

An advantage how? Maybe you'll have one or two more 9s of uptime than your competitors; does that actually move the needle on your business?

No, that part is just smart. Databases have terrible support for nontrivial datastructures, doing everything at the app level is the only reasonable response.

Amazon had a clear business model. They had positive gross margin from, if not day 1, then pretty close to it. I remain skeptical of Uber. Sure, maybe OpenAI and Anthropic will make it work. It's not impossible. But it's far fro

On the contrary, most Linux distributions use platform-specific global-only packaging formats for C++ libraries, and if anything I think that's holding back the development of a real, C++-native packaging/dependency manager.

Multiple package managers is fine, what's needed is a common repository standard (or even any repository functionality at all). Look at how it works in Java land, where if you don't want to use Maven you can use Gradle or Bazel or

It's not rocket science. As I said, it's a case of doing the legwork. But you do have to actually do the work rather than just handwave it away. Ok, your VM manager allows you to clone from a disk and maybe allows you to have an o

Having looked it up, mine makes it an add-on service for 1,045円/month + 5,500円 set-up fee, at which point you might as well use a dedicated VPS service (which is probably what's actually going on behind the scenes anyway).
