Am I reading your comment wrongfully or are you saying that making things modular is great because, well, "the cloud"?

by talles 11y ago
There's a lot of people out there doing distributed systems that are hosted "indoors" (Or should I say "on earth"? What's the opposite of "cloud"?). A lot. Don't you agree that putting "clou

What CQRS, an index table or simply "retry" (is this even a "pattern"?) has to do with "the cloud"? Don't get me wrong, I think is a lovely page (bookmarked), but I fail to see how those techniques are nec

TCO? I'm mentioning solely the electricity the machines consumes (by machine I mean both the human brain and the computer). Are the units I proposed perfect for the job? Of course not, just look how much you wrote. But I bet that if yo

Of course there are physical constraints on computing, but measuring by weight is rather stupid. Measuring the energy consumption seems to be a way better metric (even though "computation per energy" is clearly a human win). Not t

Are you suggesting to measure computing power by kilograms? That's even stupider than measuring software complexity by LOC.

What an optimistic roller coaster that reading was. If you are interested in (anti) aging science Aubrey de Grey work seem like a good start.

Software is an inconsistent thing, it takes years of effort to make it right. With IoT we are, literally, spreading inconsistency all over the place. I usually see industry tendencies (such as "big data" or "machine learning&

Yeah, I felt that too. The citations are very interesting but they don't hold up together, the author don't go anywhere. But for me the Principles of Psychology excerpt alone made it worth reading.

Maybe you have your reasons, but I'm glad I did. For me, a long reading about an abstract thing such as habit is all about going philosophical while reading it. To wonder about it in other words. You can't get that with a TLDR. TL

I always get confused with KeePass, KeePass2 and KeePassX... I use KeePassX on OS X. Will I be able to use this one with my database file?

If you consider that your comment is against the same company behind translate.google.com, which does have a (wonderful) Portuguese support, you'll probably be able to see how unthoughtful it was. Heck, Google even have specific doodle

You have a point, but why not disincentive their behavior by just blocking their number? That's way easier than setting up an automated prank answer system. But I guess that's not as exciting, no "entertainment" there.

Put yourself in the caller shoes. Would you rather listen a "No thank you" or an automated prank answer? When we just say no to them we hurt the very foundation of the telemarketing company. When you prank answer them you definite

They wasted our time. Let's waste their time back. Sounds like the kindergarten definition of "fair" to me.

If everybody that just don't like telemarketing (count me in) just politely stop the caller and don't buy the service everything you just said would happen, without burning the poor minimum wage employee that's in the middle

How hard is to say "Look, sorry to interrupt you but I'm not interest in your service. Good luck with your next call, have a nice day."? I fail to see how "fighting" telemarketers will improve anything.
