AWS makes money being the Hoster of Fortune 500 companies. They want lots of complicated shit. AWS has no problem that hobbyists or small business choose simpler solutions elsewhere

Stop eating beef. With the water saved we can grow enough food for any realistic human population. Ok we solved this one. Or do humans NEED burgers as well? We can already feed all people, any starvation is strictly a political problem not

The environmental argument is frivolous as long as people fly to Vegas for the weekend or drive a F150 to the office. Why is this as special domain?

I guess I’ve got a lot of resentment for when I suddenly paid for 100k reserved errors suddenly that I didn’t remember asking for. I probably figured out I have control about it at some point and that’s why I decided to not do the Schlepp o

Agree. The big public traded companies might be different but if a business owner thinks you can solve their problem and that will gain them more money than you ask for it is very easy to get hired

It works out because sentry has basically gone full solarwinds. Trying to get rid of the small accounts because they only care about the enterprise market anymore

Can’t wait for it. Can’t believe I ever need to take a fucking flight from Vienna to Berlin which takes longer with transfer and security than the train would take if it just had a reasonably fast speed. But the direct track through Prague

Idk historically some European nations like Germany have been very successful at least at starting wars and people had their hands pretty full trying to defeat them. I don’t think their past WW2 docility can be attributed to their inability

That is exactly what I thought and I am not even a native English speaker. My English is infinitely better than my Japanese though, so if I cared about anime I’d much rather watch a good English version rather than a bad German one

At the timescale of large nuclear reactors batteries might be a third or even less of today’s cost.

The stock of NVIDIA can buy the 230 smallest S&P 500 companies. Which are still quite big companies. I recently learned this fact and I think it is pretty wild.

We use it to play music in the car on Spotify sometimes. While it is really bad ad this we found out it mishears quite reliably so there are now some crazy things that I would have never played myself that my family has heard in the car. Th

The issue was processing messages for live pro esports tournaments. Each game had to be processed and the biggest issue was that messages from the queue were not guaranteed to ordered and because of processing issues upstream you could get

Although I prefer Elixir currently I agree that ruby at least goes all the way in on OO and not having to remember which feature is implemented as a language syntax and what is just a method invocation is a strength not a weakness. It is di

IMO blocks are not something to be careful about in ruby. If you don’t use blocks you are the weirdo in this language. Method missing is a different beast altogether. I would probably avoid it nowadays.

Ruby 1.8 to 2.0 with a layover in 1.9 was also not fun. Compared to python it is chicken shit of course

We eventually managed to build something in sidekiq that did the job but if your jobs are not unrelated and you want to make sure not to starve any specific resource the options in ruby are just way worse than eg Elixir

Yeah it has become much more solid recently

I am not even sure that is true. Only if your main criteria is available resumes where the programming language is listed at all. JS has probably upper 90% there

Having built a mediumish soft realtime queue processing solution on rails I gotta say it was not great. If we didn’t kinda grow into it I would not have chosen ruby

OTOH JS is too big for my taste. Everything has 10 implementations with no consensus about doing things. So everyone chooses their own horrible menu. Like an American super market. Or you go full chain restaurant with whatever Vercel pushes

I think LLM have really closed that gap. Quick throwaway stuff can be generated in a couple of minutes. But phoenix gives me back all the control in cases I care.

That seems to be the pitch too. I now get google ads where they advertise you can ask your phone things about what it sees. All the examples are so trivial, I can’t believe it. How to make a double espresso. What are these clouds called? T

Rewriting something in another language is super simple. The original code has all the context. Even simple for a human but takes time. I literally did the same thing recently and had Claude rewrite a simple Python lib to elixir so I don’t

This seems weird. I have a lot of experience with rails which is considered super slow. But the scenario you describe is trivial. Just get a bigger VPS and change a single env var. even if you fucked up everything else like file storage et

One of the most interesting books I have read is Franz Innerhofers Schöne Tage which describes his experience on a farm in Austria in the second half of the 20th century. The experiences of farm hands and maids was absolutely horrifying and
