Indeed. Getting quota increases is also a much slower and involved process, compared to AWS or GCP.

Oh, don't get me started! If managers were forced to work with the Azure API, they would not choose it as the provider. The unclear error responses are the most aggravating part.
This must be a coincidence because surely there is a large safety factor in this 51 day schedule. If the reboot is required to be every 51 days, surely the issue this is trying to avoid only appears after at least 3-4x as long.
there was also a conjecture that the dreamliner required rebooting every 248 days due to a similar issue

The programming environment usually is not deployed to the runtime environment, so it's not a part of the built program. Libraries are.

"Vanilla" language or tool has a precise meaning of using the official tool without external customizations. If you are importing a library that is not part of the language standard specification, that's by definition not vanilla.

Using a development environment is not a "customization" of the language, because javascript has no official development environment that you could customize by using a different one, so the environment is not a part of the language.

For languages like Smalltalk implementations that have an IDE+runtime that is THE official development environment and specification, switching the code to a different IDE+runtime would indeed be using a non-vanilla version.

Very true. I spoke to a few economists and they believe there are going to be two or three waves of CARE ACT-like packages.

It's easy to criticize the government without having to bear the responsibility but I wish they did this much earlier, with more force to bring confidence to the people rather than markets.

I spoke with a branch manager at a bank day before they announced the extended timeline for shut down up until end of April. She was cheerful because she believed that this will be over in two weeks. I tried to gently tell her that I believe we are looking at months (two at minimum), not weeks of lockdown and even that might be very optimistic. She didn't take it well.

People are confused and scared. I do wish the govs (local and federal) would be the leaders everyone needs them to be, but unfortunately, that's not yet happening (there are some exceptions, but very few unfortunately).
Perhaps the full name of the benefit, "Unemployment Insurance", will clear things up for you. It's insurance that everyone pays into, so that those who do happen to lose their jobs have an insurance to fall back on until they find another job.

You're extrapolating what's essentially an insurance policy into this image of some luxurious welfare state where no one has any incentive to work. That's not what unemployment benefits are.

Your commentary is the equivalent of arguing that receiving thousands of dollars to replace your car after it gets totaled is a "hand out", when in reality that's quite literally what insurance is for.

From my experience living in Asia and Europe I found it very hard to get a remote job (and I am freelancing with 11 years of experience). I had some remote positions but they always started out as being on site.

This aligns with anecdotes from friends and colleagues. Start working on site, show your worth go remote seems to be the sneaky way how a lot of people made the getting a remote job happening.

I recently moved to the US and I found US clients (or employers) are a lot more willing to hire someone remote. So your mileage may vary where you are.

The virtuous cycle provided by a functioning market is not a pyramid scheme. Not even close.

Pyramid schemes transfer wealth from the bottom to the top while creating no new additional wealth. America is creating tons of additional wealth and how much each gets from that wealth is proportional to one's leverage and one's leverage is generally proportional to how much one is able to contribute to wealth generation (in either talent or useful capital)

> It does make you wonder what other bugs the software has though? Presumably it's not intentionally designed so that it needs rebooting periodically...

Not necessarily. If the computer will never actually need to run for 51 days continuously, it may be a reasonable trade-off to require the reboot instead of writing (potentially buggy) code to handle a scenario that can be easily prevented from happening.

It reminds me of this story:

> I was once working with a
customer who was producing on-board software for a missile. In my analysis
of the code, I pointed out that they had a number of problems with storage
leaks. Imagine my surprise when the customers chief software engineer said
"Of course it leaks". He went on to point out that they had calculated the
amount of memory the application would leak in the total possible flight time
for the missile and then doubled that number. They added this much
additional memory to the hardware to "support" the leaks. Since the missile
will explode when it hits its target or at the end of its flight, the
ultimate in garbage collection is performed without programmer intervention.

It sounds like you're arguing against the idea of debt altogether. Debt is a great, great thing that's allowed us to accomplish way more as a society than we ever could before. Way faster too.

Yes, there is irresponsible lending that winds up in temporary value being created that we later find out was fake, and yes it's scary when the government is that lender. Maybe ironically, gold now works as a store of value that hedges against government money going bad.

But debt it still a great system that will continue to work well after COVID-19.
Eh. A legion of non remote, non technology, companies were forced to quickly thrust themselves into the web. Want to bet how many of those companies were already running as a Microsoft shop? Nearly 100%.

I would love to see details on the total requests placed on AWS and Azure during the time frame of COVID. My instinct tells me that Azure got hammered driven by those microsoft shops scrambling to get into the cloud while AWS had only a small increase, driven by technology companies (a small portion of companies) where the devs have final say and prefer AWS.
Very subjective article trying to pass off as an objective report.
I know it's really not PC to talk about this (how dare you value money over human lives!?), but at what point does the economic damage this causes become too much? 15% joblessness would be ~50M americans. If just 0.1% of them commit suicide as a result of losing their jobs or businesses, that would be 50,000 dead.

Maybe there's some kind of intermediate between forcing everyone to stay home and not having any mitigation measures in place whatsoever? Maybe a midway strategy would be less destructive. Protecting the economy isn't just about protecting the rich. The rich will be fine, they will get huge government bailouts (zero-interest loans). However, as you point out, a large percentage of small businesses will never reopen. If anything, this crisis is hugely benefitting Amazon & co.

VB classic didn't have a layout engine, so you had to do everything yourself. Making the window resizable required a huge amount of error-prone code that you had to change every time you updated the UI, and it often didn't work well. A classic VB6 bug was to resize the window larger, and then shrink it back down to the same size, and the layout would not be consistent despite the window returning back to the same size it once was.

The browser today lets you opt out automatic layout and instead specify fixed x/y/width/height coords with `position: fixed`.

It seems to me that your problem isn't the technology itself but perhaps the culture around it?

I'm confused, are you saying using React/Vue is not practical for a small 1-2 person shop? As compared to what?

If frontend was bicycle science then I must have missed that in my 10+yrs writing frontends with JS+CSS...

> They make it easy to get 80% of what you want, but that last 20% is bear

JQuery was the standard before JS frameworks took off and it was a nightmare for anything besides smallish websites. It was good for 25-50% of what you wanted at most - everything else was completely different every project you looked at. Trying to manage a large application that any serious modern web-based SaaS company uses was incredibly difficult.

I started using Backbone.js before Ember/Angular was even a thing yet and it was the first serious attempt at building large JS-driven apps for browser and mobile. That was simpler because it mimicked Railsy REST/MVC set ups, plenty of analogies for backend people to learn from, but that turned out to be a poor way to create UIs and React/Vue/etc + Redux offered a thinner view layer with a very clean way to manage state and bind data to the UI.

JS frameworks stopped pretending they were traditional web server app/database in the browser. But rather one that reflected the reactive interactions which we are trying to model in real-life spread across various individual components... more like desktop interfaces, not recreating web apps backends in the frontend.

Vanilla javascript has improved quite a bit to lessen the need for JQuery, but even then managing state and mutations reliably, modelling data, coordinating async operations, only loading the JS you need on a particular page, code organization/modules, etc have all been made way easier with the new Webpack-driven frameworks.

But you can still use simple vanilla/JQuery if you only have a small project. There's still plenty of Jquery libraries being developed and simpler UI libraries like Bootstrap...

Unless you mean pure-HTML forms, which are extremely limited in terms of interactivity. But again they haven't gone away either if it fits your needs.

- If it is true that soap kills the virus by breaking up it's outer lipid layer, does that mean soaps and degreasing agents and coatings may also kill it on surfaces like clear visors, gloves and other fabrics?

- While N95 (non oil particulate) masks are considered sufficient, and P and R 95+ (oil particulate filters) are not considered necessary - are those oil particulate filters also considered sufficient?

- can folded, oil-absorbant paper shop cloths provide more protection than cut-up t-shirts and regular cotton?

> Drafting legislation is as hard or harder than coding.

I agree, and it's mind-blowing to me that no effort is being made to improve that process and the tooling that goes around it.

We really should improve this.
Declarative techniques for doing such make rocket science look easy. It's probably better to develop separately for small/mobile versus desktop. It's too hard to make both happy at the same time via client-side re-flow. Even the big vendors struggle, such as Outlook for mobile. It's terrible on phones because it tries to carry over big-screen idioms to phone. Sure, there may be a UI genius who can pull it off, but they seem to be rare.

Make tools for muggles (mortals) instead.
I currently maintain nine web sites, internal and customer-facing. For the last two years I've been migrating them off of the framework-go-round into plain old PHP→HTML + CSS + minimal JS where there is no other option.

Because I'm in healthcare, the web sites have gone crazy in the last four months, and there are updates upon additions upon updates of the additional content over and over and over. Think 14-hour days.

The sites that have been migrated out of the framework jungle can be updated in minutes to hours. The sites that are still stuck in framework hell can take hours to days.

When things happen (for example, when another state locks down), the framework sites get slow. The non-framework sites keep zipping along, which was my main reason for moving them in the first place.

The next time you're looking at a government or healthcare web site that doesn't have the latest COVID-19 information on it, look at the source code and try to figure out what it's been generated with.

To respond to "Clayton" in this thread, we did not have much of an option for reacting to the virus once it got to our land. Legally, the federal government cannot shut down the country and order lockdowns, only cities and states can do that. We could have taken the need for testing and equipment preparation more seriously, but we didn't.

In the absence of data around who is sick, who is not, and who is immune, there is no way to slow the spread of the virus during an outbreak except to keep everyone away from everyone else.

I don't consider a public company worth umpteen billion dollars to be a regular for-profit business.

With the same team in charge, why would I expect them to be proactive on similar issues in the future?
