This is indeed a US thing (culturally). Most countries seem to have chat culture revolve around Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, WeChat or LINE. On top of that, most people don't really care and read whatever comes in regardless of the form

Sometimes all the frameworks that re-invent MVC (but in a detached fashion) and tout "server side rendering" just feel like we've come full circle where we're just serving a static view cache that was generated from mode

That is not really the problem, that is the symptom. Making it redundant makes the factor property moot. And while it might be hard to replace, it's not irreplaceable. One issue is that if you have 60 TOTP accounts on an app on a phone

This is the best way to go about this (the first line, the second line is rather variable). Phones didn't suddenly become a single point of failure, it's mostly middle-management combined with checkbox-security that ends up with S

There are many things like it. For example, managed operating environments where the user doesn't need to do anything (and actually can't do anything). Or disposable environments like VMs and containers. Sure, it's not the sa

No harping on cost was done. This is a overhead issue, and the same things apply to IBM and Oracle software. Whenever the product needs artificial management to only deal with the specifics of contracts and licences that's just a drain

Yep, and it's even worse if you also have to account for traffic, usual lack of GDRP compliance in the USA and even time zone issues.

Definitely. Works for FaaS too up to some extent (especially if you need hot-standby/zero-latency startup). Problem is mostly that once you scale beyond the "look it says hello world" levels the price goes up so fast you can

It's too dynamic to have universal answers.. but I'll give it a shot: 1. It's only as complicated as you make it. Kubernetes is essentially PKI (which is a must in any case), a REST API, and a scheduler. It stores some stuff

Depends on your workload. AWS is pretty slow and constrained on ECS-EC2 and Fargate. AppRunner is even more limited and more expensive (to the point where we could hire a full time 6 FTE team to run on-prem K8S). AWS has EKS for a reason.

Since those old operating systems are now vintage or retro, there have been a few people porting things like Rust, Go and Swift to older Mac OS versions (the ones that use the Toolbox ROM) which was also in the news here. There is of course

In the old days we needed a lot of tricks because firmware loading either didn't work or we didn't have the firmware binaries yet, so even (IIRC) ath9k didn't utilise on-ASIC for everything. But that was in the B (and maybe G

Works fine without K or R, but then the client has to do more work and lots of client devices have bad software on them. On top of that, while K and R can help, even then it needs to work with the client to have all the benefits.
