This is the first time I've heard Clipper mentioned in a looong time. I was just talking the other day how useful it was in those days that there were tools that included the database and UI all in one. Everything was a bit easier beca

It seems like there might be a pretty straight up tradeoff between difficulty of developing software and quantity of software produced. So the more we attempt to optimize at a lower level, the more time it takes to develop, and the less sof

The sad but true reason is because people aren't generally making rational decisions on here. They'll claim a reason, but it's usually really based on pre-conceived notions. "Google kills projects so I won't use Flu

Seems like it: https://www.awea.org/wind-101/benefits-of-wind/wind-in-my-co... Maybe a slightly biased source based on the name, but probably roughly right at least.

What does the performance comparison mean on this page? Does it mean a similar vCPU count A2 instance is ~40% faster than an Intel based M5 one? Or is the 40% improvement mainly through higher core count?

This hasn't been the case for most Java projects I deal with, native dependencies are fairly rare. Can't comment on Python or Node.

Seeing a Code as Craft talk at Etsy 10 years ago, or however long ago it was, changed how I develop web services completely. It was truly a revelation. Continuous deployment is fairly common now, but back then it was still radical enough th

I hadn't seen the network driver comparison before, interesting. Go does really well here, maybe because this is the kind of job is was designed for originally? I'm not sure. For the kinds of things I generally write, this is usua

This is so cool! Using streetview really matters for some reason, it made it totally obvious where the thing was going to appear. Great job.

The basis of this post isn't too sound: * The "5k% spikes" being discussed here are on a tiny base load. His peak is 6K page views in a day. That's 4 pages a MINUTE. A raspberry pi could handle that. Anything can handle

Given unlimited time, money and importance of the code in question - go for 100% coverage. Otherwise, probably not.

Good point, the multi-AZ RDS feature is a nice way to get most of the resilience upsides without any additional app complexity. You do double your database cost, but that might be worth it.
