well if I tell you that here in Austria dishwashers, washing machines and dryers (some of most energy hungry systems in a household) get a separate input that allows them to run when lot's of cheap energy (read solar power) is availabl

Well I read you comment in a way that you did not fully grasp what OP intended to say. Why people get so hung up on the speed thing? Yes there are situations where speed is of the essence, but for a private household it is not (statisticall

Well there are several ways to tackle that problem, but from that aside I would not buy a dishwasher for less than 5% of my use-cases, where it would be much to resource consuming in 95% of all others...

Having a large family of my own and sometimes hosting get-togethers I can not agree with your sentiment. I would not buy a dishwasher for 1% of my use-cases that otherwise wastes lot's of resources (presumably being much to large for e

true, but the comparison to other engineering disciplines does not hold up well at all: while everybody understands that planning when building a House is important as once it stands you can only change it at significant cost this does not

oh please no JavaScript- it is awful enough in the frontend, but that train seems to have left the station, but in the backend we have much more powerful languages and ecosystems.

we can, but the average user not! if you are tech savvy, like to keep up to date on security and are ok with the hassle of setting up a NAS, sync stuff and know how to keep it secure, perhaps. If you had to pay me to do it for you, a few do

err well- anecdotal evidence may be a good basis for a theory that could be validated using an experiment, but it does not suffice to be calling somebody elses' argument ridiculous...

I remember NetMeeting from around 2000 when we used it to at university to do shared desktop sessions for some team assignments... worked pretty well as far as I remember.

and what do you need for that? right: money! problem is: it's so much easier to get rich if you have money already...

Maybe you don't but as everybody is caught in his own world it doesn't matter... What this thought expresses in my opinion is: I wish I lived a more balanced life! what everybody seems to miss as it does not fit in the grand dream

not only eastern europe. here in Austria we had several companies that were state owned. Problem was, that then there is politics coming into play and hiring is not about business facts but politics. This resulted in highly inefficient comp

I think you actually miss the point completely- go read the content, then comment upon it!

just forgot to add: we also have the possibility to go to evening school (for free) to get a High-School diploma and join university as a regular student. My Brother-in-law did that. He learned to be a Baker (in Austria and Germany we have

This is only part of the troth where I live: Austria. Here you can take a year long course to learn the basics to go to university without going to High-School first- a friend of mine did exactly that. OFC in reality this is much more diffi

imho simplicity ist the most important trait. I have a rule i derive from that: like economy of movement there must be a requirement for every change/code. when nobody says what is slow, how can I optimize. I would pick simplicity and

At the core it's what I see as a threefold conflict of interests: individual developer vs. product vs. organization individual devs have to stay relevant, learn new technologies to up their market vaule products want a simple, reliable

Interesting. Programming yes, Software Development no- imho there is a huge difference between writing compiling code and writing maintainable code and/or designing stable and resiliant systems.

The goal is to sustainably build software, which only can be done if ops and maintenance is regarded a goal, a pillar to build upon. Like TDD the design of software changes when you have experience with ops/maintenance. Take logging&#x

Ok no argument from me there :) Maintenance and the automation of repetitive tasks are in my view part of DevOps, but not every dev in a team has to participate at the same degree...

I'd sum up with: simplicity is your friend... recently I am getting more and more thoughtful about "accidental" complexity we add to our solutions in form of dependencies on external libs/module, frameworks such as IoC,

by verinus 5y ago
I wholeheartedly agree on most parts, with DevOps being the exception. Devs only focusing on developing/writing source code is certainly not the way to produce sustainable, high quality software- at least in my opinion...

you are right, I loved that feature too. another thing I forgot to mention: what I was missing: "dotting into" in the sense that I have a object/data I want no manipulate and quickly see what can be done with an data in FP af
