I'd argue that "the cloud" makes traditional computing more efficient. Since their motto is "pay for what you use", it automatically aligns with motives for the most efficient use. Not to mention that the usage of c

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say. Are you discounting their efforts? Their motives? You're not responsible for everyone else, or if you were, they'd not need to be for themselves.

Why are you not making them yourselves? If it's because of economics, it clearly indicates unsustainable growth. The only thing immigration would support is below-livable wages.

Computers are part of automation, just like chainsaws. It's not a new phenomena. It's been sweeping through all industries the whole time. The thing is, efficiency unveils new possibilities, and possibilities induce demand, consum

"Big JS app"'s aren't that big if done correctly. The entirety of Angular8 fits into ~170KB, less than some thumbnails. You can write bad apps in any language and environment, similarly a site/app is not bad just be

I believe the government already has the right and power to control what people eat. People form the government, and people (ideally) choose the people to hold that power. In part I, too have the right to control what people eat through vot

I don't think people will stop consuming meat if you ask them nicely. You have to make decisions that will hurt the meat industry and make it infeasible. This would likely best be achieved through slowly dropping tax incentives, and tr

Connectivity is not always available, and errors retrieving it may mean you have to re-enter everything. Being able to "navigate" the site without the dinosaur is a tremendous boon for end users. You wouldn't be able to send

There is a free version of MySQL called MariaDB. PostgreSQL is a very viable alternative. It has different philosophy, and needs a little getting used to, so it's not as easy as simply lift-and-shift

>You can't physically swap out a processor while the system is booted and you can't swap a virtual processor either. I think you can do that on multisocket systems: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.1

Looking at the pricing at: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/b2-transactions-price.html It seems that calling b2_delete_key is free. It's just not conveniently abstracted. Listing the items however if you don't al

When you do something, the cpu works at _full_ speed for a given duration, which is shown as %/time used. If you make a processor half as fast, all CPU tasks will be performed two times slower.

Not all abstractions cost anything, they're simply useful. In addition IDEs, compilers and other parts of the toolchain pump up the output quality significantly compared to what would otherwise be available at a given time. Programming

Optimization is an easy trap to step in. You can take it up in other layers aswell, optimizing your choices about the choices to optimize | Ad infinitum. At some undefined point you may realize that you are trying to solve an undecideable p

Legacy code often ends up as such, because it was immediately available and immediately utilized. It worked then, and piled on functionality. You don't see good looking legacy, because it didn't survive.

I think it's somewhat paradoxical: The software that gets delivered, produces value gets to live. The market prefers just-good-enough software

You can definitely go the other way to overthink a problem, even as high to induce the halting problem. Absolute optimization is mathematically impossible, and an imperfect choice has to be made at some point.

You definitely can, and that is being done at the moment. I'm reasoning that you could be doing so much more with much less effort and cost if you didn't have as stringent requirements. We should progress in all fronts, and not si

Most web tasks are completely I/O bound anyway, the significance in making the few business logic decisions is minimal.

With the help of transport compression like gzip, the total size can still be reduced by almost the same amount even if you don't minimize it.

I'd argue that there is a certain amount of complexity that cannot be avoided, and is likely already addressed in the current platform. You can try and shift the problem to different parts of the application, but that is at best a dis

A house is built upon a thousand bricks. I'd argue that "CRUD" apps are all there is in development. Everything complicated broken down comes to creating, retrieving, modifying and/or saving data. After understanding the
