They will tell you they are repulsed by it if asked but its a toss up if they can identify it. Look at any thread on Reddit/IG/Tiktok whatever and I personally would guess I could manage to identify AI output 20% of the time. Boom

Like anything it really depends on what they are doing, if you wanted to just open and close a connection you might run into bottle necks in other parts of the stack before the CPU tops out but the real point is that yea, a single machine i

This is how I feel about this industries fetishization of "scalability". A lot of software time is spent making something scalable when in 2025 I can probably run any site the bottom 99% of most visited sites on the internet on a

Fair if you haven't looking at it in a while but they have largely been on par for a decade. The Apple hardware is more consistently premium of course but if you compare the Samsung Galaxy whatever with the iphone they have been pretty

We use patroni and run it outside of k8s on prem, no issues in 6 or 7 years. Just upgraded from pg 12 to 17 with basically no down time without issue either.

The other reality is that as much as this industry is up its ass about scalability you can run a very very busy site on a single machine now a days. A lot of people out here designing their blogs like its 1989.

Cloud databases have been pricey for a while. The reality most databases are tiny as shit and most apps can tolerate the massive latency that the cloud provider dbs offer. It is why it is sorta funny we are rediscovering non network attache

They didnt lose aspirations. A lot of the UK seems to be struggling with their loss of Empire even 80 years later. They ran out of money, 2 world wars bankrupted them.

As a mostly back end dev Elm looked really nice but all the conflict with the creator and then the lack of compiler releases made me shy away a bit. I have bumped into "the Elm architecture" in other projects though and it was nic

Actually large LCDs (>65") were pretty uncommon in 2010 but if you ever watched a 1080p DLP television I would be surprised if you didn't notice when looking at them side by side. There is also of course the issue where people

In 2011 smart tvs / phones were not quite the data harvesting devices they have become. The things stopped working because they were for you the consumer. The modern smart tv will keep working as long is its piping data back to the dat

It very likely depends on what you are playing on it and what size it is. Even most cheap TVs now a days are 4k even if the panel is low end. There is a large difference between 1080p and 4k which is usually quite noticeable if the TV is la

On the flip side C/C++ devs like to let ancient libs hang around because updating them can be such a pain in the ass. You can choose to write Rust with fewer external crates or vendor them like you would with c++ that is a dev choice.

Dragging out a number like that is entirely useless and makes me think you are being disingenuous. Instead go find the accidents per 100,000 miles driven. Then make sure it takes into account that the robots only drive in fair whether place

Not really that surprising. Authoritarianism has its draw backs obviously but one of its more efficient points is it can get things done if the will is at the top. Since China doesnt have a large domestic oil supply like the US it is a stat

A POST could be viewed as creating a "search" which, once given an ID could be retrieved later with a GET. I know this densest really work with ad-hock and cheap queries but it does for more expensive / report style ones.
