C10k is pretty obsolete problem now, ten thousand threads is pretty trivial on modern machines. With modern load balancing you dont even have to worry about that problem any more. And that was before Java 25.

I wonder in the crypto based future if there will be any safeguards to avoid scams and fraud. Instant settlement is not a good thing for me, Ideally any transaction over $1000 should take a week and can be cancelled. Transactions over $100k

I just hope with new lightweight threads I never have to write async reactive code again. It was a such an unproductive mistake, most applications do not need that level of complexity - now we can confidently say no applications need that l

Be thankful you can go to the office. If you're working from home you have a lot more competition. Our company has started getting Indian workers into Mexico working US hours, you're competing with them if you're working onli

This is the answer, its supply demand and there is likely going to be a different equilibrium price for each.

Price isn't too bad, esp now that the Pixel 10 is expensive, the base iphone is the same price for more storage which is kinda unexpected for Apple!

The post talks about how a lot of AI investment could just be a waste which would be bad for the economy and stocks. My comment is really a off-topic, its that if AI really does work well it'll put half of us out of work, leaving us to

No mention of size of houses either. I have great grandparents who had farms, parents with big 4 bed houses who have now passed. Meanwhile I'm in a two bedroom with kids. Not much room for that grand piano, antiques & book collecti

Maybe, but its a huge reason to use real servers instead of serverless.

You guys know Steve Ballmer is worth more than Bill Gates and owns a bigger share of MS? Gates diversified and donated to his foundation.

You're right, but usually at the end of the day I'm completely mentally exhausted and dont want to talk to anyone. Its something I've realized is a big problem in my life. I'm actively trying to reduce mental load to lea

Agreed and I think we're already here. Hardware is so cheap now its trivial to have both multiple streaming devices and multiple open computer platforms. There are advantages to both and no way to compromise to have one device for ever

In my division we have 1000 IT workers. I'd guess the number born in the USA is less than 10%, probably less than 5%. Americans just dont work hard enough, I think now they are a minority they probably dont want to stay either.

I was here in the 90s dotcom boom and interest rates were higher than today.

Thanks, yes probably. Our company is great on adding new functionality but has a huge amount of tech debt including infrastructure and SDLC processes that are really slow.

The only thing I need Windows for is citrix to connect to my work machine. I'm thinking of getting a laptop just for this one task.

Hardware has changed too. Previously installing from CDs only spinning hard drives was a big investment in time. Now I'm really not scared of doing a fresh install, its often so easy I can switch distros without much trouble.

At my work we use docker for everything now. Makes no sense. Literally we have a dedicated server for each application. Instead of copying python files to the server in 5 seconds we take 30 minutes to build a docker container, copy to repo,

One of the most common usages I see from colleagues is to get agents to write the comments so you can go full circle. :)

The idea of fractional jobs implying you need to work on multiple jobs at a time probably makes sense. I like the idea of part time but feel like just keeping up with technology is already such a lot of work you can't ever be useful wo

USA is all about free speech because the big tech companies are in USA and behind closed doors do what the US Government tells them. If Meta/Google/Twitter/TikTok were foreign companies they'd likely be banned or regulat
