We learned in the 90s to not distribute the objects and instead just spin up more copied of the whole application. And if only scalability is the point this is still valid.

How is „ Vajrayana, the higher levels of the teachings“? It‘s one of three large subgroups. It would be like calling Catholicism the higher level of the teaching as opposed to protestant forms …

Bike lanes won‘t change a thing. Those who don‘t bike will mostly not be convinced by a lane. I know this, being born in a rather rural area with plenty of bike lanes. I‘m in favor of building them, but would take any bet that by itself tha

Those updates will be cheaper than the 15k price. And for those who already opted in, it‘s a small expense to pay for the upgrade. Tesla can easily afford it.

Instead of listing everything you want and cannot control, it could help to focus on things that you can control. In your case this would be employment which would help you to regain self confidence and potentially allow you to save (toward

But Elon is supporting extreme versions of free speech so he should be held to the same standard. Anything else is hypocritical.

Very interesting. But I think there are pretty clear rules that permit compatible implementation of wire protocols.

Can you expand on this? Is this a generic criticism of GraphQL? Apollo server? Client? And what do you mean by opposite track? I really like GraphQL but agree that it‘s not trivial to implement well. I also think it recently became a bit le

But of the reasons Books gives, most apply regardless of the project being late, such as the communication overhead and the fact that splitting the project neatly is difficult.

I‘m not judging since I don’t know you. I see programming as the profession, grounded in CS and with coding being usually not the problem (instead designing the solution is the problem).

For startups such a step is likely to ruin the company. And in any case that founder would keep their stake in the company while not being able to influence it anymore. Doesn‘t make sense.

Perhaps instead of „responsibility“ they should said „we are to blame“ or „it is our fault“.

This comment is downvoted, but it makes an important point. AI systems that produce an outcome that can be easily verified by non-experts are far more practical. If my mom can get an illustration out of the AI that she wants, she is done. N

Right and why is that? Because there is often no budget to solve the interesting parts and because of a lack of skills and because of terrible management - all of these mutually reinforcing. Same if true by the way for writing. So? Doesn‘t

This is a very strange thing to say since great art is often not technically difficult at all. Much of modern and contemporary art is like that, nevertheless the art is superb. > Learning technical skills like draughtsmanship is harder t

I couldn‘t, but I could also not study many other things and not because of what you call difficulty. Quite simply different people are good at some things and less good at others. Maybe you are better at CS than music and therefore perceiv

It‘s amusing how so many on this thread assume to be able know what will happen to this or that profession. We don‘t know. We just don‘t. It‘s too difficult to predict what, say, software developers will do in a few years and how demand or

Again, it depends on the level. Maybe you took trivial CS courses. Many parts of CS are indistinguishable from mathematics, is that so easy as well? What about the various open problems that have remained unsolved for decades now in theoret

Can‘t you see that your statement is just as silly or even more? Have you actually looked into CS deeply? Obviously not. (I‘m not saying this cannot also be true for music, which I don‘t know.)

Being liable still just means that it works most of the time and that they computed the cost of when it doesn‘t just like any insurance company. That‘s all there is to it.

Because programming is usually applied to different industries. Yes, you should know the laws of your own industry (in tech that would be privacy, licenses, export rules, copyright, some patent basics etc.) but you can‘t know the law of eac

I don‘t like how this comments sounds … Also you‘re wrong. Look at what the OP wrote and then look at how the latest models are actually built and you would see at least 2/3 of their knowledge is relevant.

10 years is a long time. Many of their choices are to drive costs down and that will give Tesla a competitive advantage.
