A traditional MVC app process has a start up time and a memory cost so you either have a bad experience while a user waits for it to start up, or you have to rent (or own) some amount of RAM 24/7. Static site + API Gateway + async proc

I don't understand. The prevailing encoding (utf-8) is only as wide as ASCII is for encoding the same characters, so you are getting what you want here, unless it's an internet without other cultures and languages on it.

It has to be, even with as irrational as the market can be I don't see people sustaining this kind of spend on public clouds -- the cultural barriers and perverse incentives that prevent effective use of private / hybrid cloud hav

Games seeking this property of low-cost art through pixelated graphics generally choose not to have a retro virtual screen though - which frees them to have different pixel sizes between different parts of the UI, place things precisely (ev

How does blockchain provide that property to the system? Why couldn't Stripe launch an API for a notary in multiple markets and why couldn't India chose bitnotary while Pakistan chooses dogenotary?

I've never interpreted or heard of anyone interpreting the Viable V of in MVP to be strictly about technical aspects of a product's viability, generally quite the opposite - thus the P being there and standing for Product (and not

Yep. The value of Given When Then ends, not begins, once you have implemented the steps with some automation.

That is a very interesting perspective and I think it helps me understand a few issues in a new light. Thank you for sharing it.

I doubt you propose we abandon the concept of there being objective truth, or any possible way for diverse groups to find consensus, but what are you proposing? If I use simulated annealing to arrive at an optimal schedule for some processi

I suppose we are both confused then. Politics is rooted solely in policy: if we do or don't form this or that policy, are the subjects of our policies better or worse off? Anything that distracts from a process of objective assessment

There absolutely is tribal zealotry on the conservative side -- any side of any issue. Just not this specific shape or color or flavor of it that happens to stand out as an example because one tribe is seen to do something that another trib

JIRA's problem is it's too configurable and popular with folks who are into prescriptive authority, so it absolutely can be worst tool you've ever used, and frequently will be.

When team sizes grow, time to hire those teams shrink, and deadlines shrink, you trend toward the quality of work product being whatever the system permits. Would you agree that C++ is overly permissive for such teams?

They come from the cost savings made by a pointy-hair telling that smart aleck code monkey that bothered actually reading the spec that his concerns aren't going to delay the ship date or go into the budget for developer time -- but yo
