The second narrative doesn’t explain AWS throwing its weight behind ARM. Not to say that ARM is killing x64, it’s definitely not, but ARM is clearly being invested in and rolled out at a massive scale by 2 of the biggest tech companies in t

AWS have thrown their weight behind ARM server side and are really ramping it up for internal and customer usage. x64 is still going strong but the competition has massively heated up over the past few years.

So in the 70s you could pay per request billed to millisecond precision? Wow times haven’t changed at all. He has some good points on poor configuration languages and bad architecture, but it’s lost in the rant.

What makes you think the market for IPv4 doesn’t have the demand for another 2.5% given it’s a scarce resource?

Wow tough crowd. I appreciate the pragmatic approach taken here, and as long as there is type safety round nulls im happy to use the language. Nitpick: As of C# 8 they’ve mostly solved nullable types for classes too with nullable reference

Most people aren't investing in fiat, they are investing productive assets like real estate or businesses e.g the share market. I don't have strong opinions on fiat vs crypto, primarily because it seems like a boring question. Wh

The numbers you link don’t support your ranking, unless you’re specifically ranking by cold start alone. Even then it doesn’t make sense to group Python and Node but not Go, as Node and Go are significantly closer than Node to Python.

Amazon still has a much more significant investment in Java than Rust, just as Microsoft does with C# and TypeScript than Rust even though both companies are investing more and more in Rust for low level projects.

That’s fixable in this release, though behind a compiler flag https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescr... Agree with the general sentiment though.

It’s not clear whether you dislike DI in general or specifically DI containers. I think it’s an important point to clarify because DI on its own absolutely does not live outside of the real language and while it may be much more common to u

The point the OP was trying to make I believe, is not that it should do all of that, but that if it doesn't do that a different name to observability should be chosen such as monitoring.

State being assigned to a single thread removing the need to use locks is a major selling point of Erlang/BEAM.

They’ve already folded up shop and solved these problems with Kestrel. Them continuing to offer support for laggards using IIS shouldn’t be criticised though.

I’m so excited to see them embracing actors. I don’t use Swift and likely won’t in the future but I really hope this decision bleeds over into other mainstream languages.

This doesn’t automatically scale down to zero though which to me is a key differentiator of true serverless.

I don’t believe that the FaaS revolution has stalled, though I fear it will follow the tech adoption curve because people are over hyping it. I do wonder if AWS’s leadership in the area has stalled though. GCP has innovated with their hybri

That was the GPs point, YAML contains a lot of insanity, but let’s not throw out what it got right along with everything it got wrong.

I can't stand writing C#/Java in VSCode and I can't stand writing anything but them in Intellij/Rider personally. It's a trade off between speed and feature set. I'm glad it's one I can decide to make when

I work somewhere that does this and it works surprisingly well. It’s rare to find an employer that’s willing to look after their staff though.

I specifically mean what he has in mind for “But I’d like to get to not-shared memory.”

I’d love to know how he’d like for C++ to support distributed systems in broad strokes. The first thing that comes to mind is things like gRPC or the actor model but I can’t imagine he has either of those in mind.

It looks like Just Eat currently has a market cap of 5.233B pounds, 6.645B USD. How does an all stock acquisition of 7.3B USD work in this case? Is this done via issuing more than an extra 100% of stock on the expectation the new asset will

Yeah I wasn’t sure if he was going for dark humour there, but it just read as though he is a despicable human being.

As a .NET fan this is one less thing for me to tempted by Go for. The other large remaining point is start up time for e.g CLIs and AWS Lambdas. .NET Core has been making great progress there but I think a true native executable will always

Currently the single file solution is a zip that unzips into directory with many files. It was a great stop gap solution but not the final thing (hopefully).

AWS doesn’t turn off barely used services, ECS has lots of happy customers that don’t want to deal with Kubernetes. Same goes for Fargate, except that it’s now offered by EKS to, what possible reason would they have too turn it off?

Brad Porters response is really disappointing. It’s possible that he and his team are doing everything in their power but that Amazon completely fails it’s warehouse workers nonetheless.

Yes, though I believe Rust has already proven this more in practice than Haskell has. Rust has many advocates now at places like Mozilla, Amazon and Microsoft that have delivered critical software in Rust that they believe has made it safer

A big part of the authors unit testing philosophy is that you should separate IO from business logic. That way you can unit test without mocks and without heavy real dependencies either, and leave that for integration tests.
