Imagine being the CEO of a company whose capital structure has IC related debt that amortizes over 10 years, having to report next quarter to shareholders, and your tenure is measured in quarters not years, if you cannot deliver on the topline.
How can you responds to requests to buy into a charging network when your response to market forces is existentially reptilian?
That is how IC inertia has allowed an innovator like Tesla to come into being.
Our giants came before us, swallowed the enormous complexity and presented us with simpler abstraction to build on.
When you move your work across environmental abstraction, these beneficial abstracts tend to show their cracks.
By keeping the production and the development environments similar, my team avoids deployment surprises and disasters. More importantly, we avoid the escalation calls that take you away from the family dinner table.
If you are gonna delpoy in a docker container, maybe develop in the docker container.
Been an iPhone prisoner/beaten-wife/lover since 2010. Whatsapp charged $1 per year for update. Happy to pay that in exchange for knowing that my familyand network information and more importantly info about my kids won’t be sold for pieces million times a minute on the digital ad auction markets.
“Facebook’s argument is along the lines of arguing that the police shouldn’t crack down on burglaries because doing so might hurt pawn shops that have been thriving during a years-long crime spree.”
I have been through this before. Losing my friends and multiple conflicting accounts about how they might have passed away. In the end, when the dust settles, it always seems ends up being the same two headed-demon that has i have lost many friends to: a silent fight with cancer or speedball.
Here’s hoping it’s neither in this case.
Same boat fella. But, The MBPpro just handles to much of my day to day critical stuff. At work, we do not allow cutting stuff edge into production on first release. That old-fashioned advice has served us wisely for a decade and led to many stress free evenings after a day of release. Surprises are fun for birthdays, not so much for mission-critical deployments. Waiting until 3rd gen, then donate current workhorse to a school and snag the new Apple M3
Might I suggest we add a touch of subtlety and call it “RoachDB”. Still the that undying stoic of the much disliked critter, but without invoking the full image of a cockroach. Love the work you guys are doing <3
Nobody showed them more love than I did. Just because it felt like such a fun way to get food while still supporting the gig-workers. Until, I started noticing the huge markup on sides/entrees that I recall costing way less on the restaurant menu.
Did prices go up? Nope, it was doordash.
A side of garlic sauteed edamame is $4.75 on the restaurant menu, but $7.85 on the delivery app. $7.85 isn’t too much for a good tasting side, but I am not a fan of being lied to about pricing. Felt like getting ripped off.
It obliterates my trust in today’s delivery apps and damages the value proposition.
One wonders: How much of the revenue is coming from markup in menu prices? What happens to this revenue when the average consumer grows wise to these markups?
Managed mail server clusters for years with an ISP. Agreed, too many things that can break and cause PITA.
However, ‘Hard’ is a subjective term.
The deeper you are in a trade or the longer you have done it, the easier it comes to feel.
I visited a family farm and found it very very hard to squeeze milk outta buffalo.
My great uncle however has dealt with that buffalo that for years and didn’t sweat it one bit.
In a similar vein, do I really want to tend a buffalo in my backyard, when I can get the milk I need from a supermarket?
Good ghostwriters demand upwards of $250 for 1000 words.
They have their place and could be useful of one is writing structured non-fiction. With fiction, voice is very important. And, the use of ghostwriters would compromise that IMHO
