You're missing the purpose of the cache. At least for this argument it's mostly for network responses. HDD was 10ms, which was noticeable for cached network request that needs to go back out on the wire. This was also…
If you don't have scale, you don't need most of the features. Fire up PC, load application. Setup egress port open to internet. Setup application backup on cron job. Done until scale problems arise.
Why does everyone always jump to this fiction? You probably aren't paying a "cloud engineer" just to fiddle with cloud config full time with <$100k/yr spend. Why would you suddenly need a full time sysop to do the same…
A lieutenant is not the captain. As a lieutenant, I don't get to just go do whatever. I advise, I provide options, I make calls that don't to up to the CEO level. I pick tech stacks, I pick how to do the things we…

On the other side, who's going to love them at school? Overloaded teachers? Administrators? Other still very immature students? Lack of love is a problem. School is quite clearly not a solution to that.
There is a pretty big difference between "abuse happens" and "this environment is fundamentally worse". Schools have pretty abysmal records as far as preventing abuse to children. Bullying is massive, be it…
Keep in mind that the number of devs that are inexperienced is very high. Growth in the industry has been explosive. So there is a large population of devs that just don't understand how one might reasonably live, and…
The cloud was principally designed 2005-2013 era where it was pretty reasonable for an average website to need to go multi system to support traffic spikes. CPU hardware kind of stagnated 2014-2018, while SSDs took off.…
One user can have multiple clients. This is frequently the case, many to most users have both a PC and a phone. Also when one allows reasonable sharing of the account with family, 5+ connected clients is common.
I've worked on various forms of "legacy code" for most of my career. As long as the economics line up and the customer is willing to pay for the required support, then it's a fine business avenue. If economics don't…
I work with lean, business speculative software mostly. Which means not cross-platform native development is simply not economical to do. I generally need to be able to hit Windows, iOS, Android, and MacOS square on…
I'm on the fat client train with my company and I nudge my clients that way if they're open. It's just a great way to build a system.
Fly them in. Give them a driver to assist them in arriving and getting to the interview. Have the driver make an obvious mistake. Circle the block or arrive a couple of minutes late. Auto-fail anyone who treats the…
If you use auto scaling services and fail to limit a recursive call to a service. You can create a giant explosion aimed at your bank account.
Yes, you can do it in DNS. Update the record with your new ingress, then wait for the timeout on the old record to assert itself and the new connections move over. Not all DNS servers properly observe caching timeouts,…
Arguably you can buy the mobile variants of the Ryzen 7000 series, like 7940HS/7840HS, as a package, cheaper per core than the 7950X. Depending on the use case it may be a better fit. Definitely if footprint and/or…
Won't be winner takes all. The people who use local models will have requirements or desires that lean them that way. The rest will use the easier to stand up large corp offerings. Only way this changes is if there is a…

Have you not noticed that SSD prices have dropped by almost half the last 6-8 months? I can get the same SSD I bought in February for literally half the cost today. You can get larger drives. 4TB has pretty high…
