Most companies severely underestimate the complexities of a distributed system and the work that goes into a truly resilient, scalable setup of this kind. An infrusctructfre of this sort is meant to solve very hard problems, not to make reg

We will be going back. After the last binge, torching through piles of cash to do resume-driven development, companies are now looking to be lean. You can't really survive if you are doing microservices and trying to actually build som

This is a very nice academic theory, but in real life you get half-assed, half-implemented hairballs that suck out your will to live if you have to untangle that.

I think that quote makes sense if you assume that the complexity is required. Over-engineering is a whole different topic. The problem is that the shops that move from monoliths to distributed systems are under the impression that all of th

That's a pretty bold move for a drug dealer. I imagine they'd try and keep low profile to not invite a knock on the door. I guess things are different in Europe :)

WHY did they take the hit? Because the word was out these banks were putting all of their eggs in one bond basket at the time of increasing interest rates. I am a just a simple country 401K investor, and even I knew not to do that.

"Larger banking behemoths" is NOT the solution - it's the result of deregulation and gutting of oversight - also referred to by libertarians here as "small government". These banks should have been aggressively audi

Right, but the original article is about startups :) Life is a wide-ranging buffet of risks, just like the stock market. You can choose anywhere from bonds (career, stable job) to penny stocks (startups).

What you are saying is that it may increase your odds of success, but it by no means guarantees it. If you do nothing - you won't succeed. If you do everything - you may succeed.

Well, it's not LIKE meditation :) It is meditation. The process of the ritual focuses the mind on the task at hand.

One can avoid being called a hypocrite, moral relativism conversation aside, by doing one thing - not judging others publicly.

I think sometimes. I am sure there are some "holier than though" individuals that are thoroughly apolitical. Here in the United States, a certain political party all but appropriated Christianity for themselves, even though their

That's political, but this is the new morality police. I am still recovering from the religious "moral values" people who were insufferable as recently as a few years ago, and who have proven to be hypocrites on just shocking

Instead of trying to hide from the past, how about we use the art of that era to teach the new generation why certain things are wrong? It's like drinking to forget instead of confronting the issues head on. You pretend it's not

So it lost users, not paying customers. I don't see how that's bad for Netflix. Everyone is in a tizzy about not being able to use a product for free. Pay for your shit. Netflix owes you nothing. I feel strongly about it - and I d

So this unmoderated flow of ideas... is that 4chan? You can "speak your mind" over there, but I have not heard of any useful ideas coming out of that. Someone explain to me what the problem is. Is Joe from Baraboo, Wisconsin, not

You get one mailing address that is verifiably yours. You get one phone number that is verifiably yours. I can whip out my phone right now and create 1000 of fake me. I know what you did there, but - no joy.

"then your version control system is not going to fix that for you." Uh... Pull requests are not a version control workflow - it's a human workflow. It's also a way for the team to actually LOOK at the code that is going

Right. I can understand making it illegal to delete your posts as a public servant. That applies to YOU, but I don't see how not being able to block a troll in Portugal posing as someone else is helpful. There is no standard for verifi

This translates to other areas. I am working on a new product, my idea and implementation from start to finish. Yesterday I asked my spouse to use it and tell me what she thought. Anything she had an issue with, I was like a crab - just cla

To get out of the house. When I started in tech, I went to conferences in pretty much every job. It was a lot of fun - and these were boring "legacy" businesses. I remember I went to an Adobe conference in Chicago years and years

It's not really "help". Musk is not an agent - he is a useful idiot. The goal of these "libertarians" is to subvert and sabotage democracy here at home. The way it is right now, the system is not working - they are

Try having a nazi-friendly product, or ANY product, and then put the Microsoft or the Oracle logo on your front page - "look, they are paying customers!" Then wait for the lawyers to send you a terse email promising to basically e

What did Elon think was going to happen? I mean, this guy has an impressive streak of making bad decisions and then digging a deeper hole. You are going to pretend that famous people are paying for your product, they will call you out, and.

You seem to be totally correct. Meta ticker is flat today. In addition, there are other dynamics here. Meta is torching through cash building this Metaverse, and there is no clear horizon or plan. It's going to give a lot of investors
