It's hard to tell if that's the case. I honestly don't understand what remote procedure calls have to do with the client. Surely the clients wouldn't interact in such a way with the microservices, there would be some sor

Eventually he will be right, only idiots will want to be a part of it. That suits him, he needs to be the smartest person in the room, and absolutely no one can tell him what to do or not to do. He bought Twitter because the board told him

Apparently he is the sole software genius at a company filled with lazy millennials, so he will now single-handedly rebuild the platform, starting with throwing away 80% of the microservices and seeing what happens. That's also how I r

Cloudflare Pages is pretty good, it's for server-side rendering as well, and have things like Durable Objects that no one else have, and D1, which is built on SQLite. Sending emails is also free with Cloudflare Workers. No egress fees.

There is no way to tell if this is right or wrong, we are not engineers at Twitter, and I suspect that no engineer there would dare to correct him. I'm pretty sure Twitter has an API gateway of some sort, it doesn't make sense tha

Take into account that between the two of them Eric is the expert. It was Musk who failed to keep things professional. His first post was literally humiliating his own employees for writing bad code. It's his own company, he may not ha

He called Musk's public statement out, because it was wrong. Twitter shouldn't be the place for this, but it's on Musk for creating such unprofessional atmosphere in the first place. Imagine the same thing with Microsoft. We

Many software are like that, especially those that have been around for some time. You don't see the CEO of Microsoft spewing nonsense about Windows publicly, and then punching down on an employee for correcting him. There is no need f

Eric Frohnhoefer may not have a job at Twitter anymore, but him fact checking dear leader constantly spewing nonsense about things he doesn't understand was a sweet moment.

Different opinion, no, illegal abortion, yes, I'm shouting. The issue is bigger than me, or how I look. Pregnancy is a risky business, evolution made it that way for humans, it's basically a biological war between the mother and t

Older people are horndogs, they just have many age-related issues, and not everyone is able to overcome them or the stigma, since we tend to idealize the elderly, like they are supposed to be pristine and wise, when the evidence is to the c

The current solutions on the market don't scale, some key innovation is still missing for full self-driving. It might be a new kind of machine learning, or something very different, I don't know. What I know is that it's disg

Didn't we already conclude that big data is not that useful if we can't make sense of it? Which is why AI is cool or will be. Quality, not quantity, and all that.

It's board members, not CEOs. Women do 1.1% better for DAX (40 large cap companies), 0.1% better for SDAX (70 small cap companies) and 4.7% worst for MDAX (60 mid cap companies). So the few women that are board members in average are

The argument is about making abortion illegal, I called it out as a barbaric idea, because it is. You are free to harbor such ideas, you are free to misrepresent the issue by calling a clump of cells an unborn person, and I'm free to c

Speech can absolutely incentivize violence. See the Rohingya genocide and the part Facebook played in it. See right-wing domestic terrorism in the United States. See Hitler and his radio. People are not perfect, independent, rational creatu

Nobody suggested that though. People deserve equal chances.

Literally my argument. The whole thread started with why don't my co-workers respect my intolerant ideas if they are all about a diverse set of ideas, and I said that diversity doesn't include any ideas. I didn't suggest supp

It's the same idea. Illegal abortion threatens society. I'm not a fascist for protesting it. The Democrats and their voters, and many Republicans are on the same opinion.

They would be misrepresenting the issue. Nobody is ripping anything, abortion is strictly regulated. There are gestational limits, usually 12 weeks, or up to 24 weeks under special circumstances, and only more for fetal impairment and such.

"Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society again

Why the hell would we tolerate barbaric, intolerant ideas? Diverse never includes intolerance, which must be intolerated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

To be fair the blame isn't entirely on them, the government should know better, and the people voting should. This is yet another thing the market cannot and will not fix.

He is constantly out of his depth, just got lucky with the government subsidies and the right people at the right time, like Gwynne Shotwell. What even he is doing with Twitter at a time when Volkswagen and the rest of the auto industry is

Marginally. People are still voting en masse for a party that doesn't stand for anything but endless culture wars, obstruction and gerrymandering.

I don't even know what are you talking about, most teenagers didn't own a car in the 80's. In fact there are more cars now than there were back then, more people too. I don't see how the video game industry helped the en

That's fair, but you have a game console, a TV, a desktop, a notebook, a smartphone, e-book reader, router and so on. The average electric power consumption per capita more than doubled in the last 40 years, and keeps growing almost li
