You're not selling it to me. For simple admin tasks, Micro is totally fine. For actual programming where I really want the full power of an advanced editor, VSCode has all the properties you listed except arguably lightweight, though even there VSCode itself is pretty lightweight; it's just the heavy LSP servers that bog things down.

I obviously don't see Vim as a flex. Maybe a misguided flex.

Haha. Neither was I until very recently. I really had no idea such rigorous research had already been done.

I just figured the extent of it was "Well we can't prove they aren't just communicating unlike we can for say dogs"

By the way, if you'd like an overview of the tests performed, you can read them here.

Yes I know it's not proof they use language naturally but this is where that "not being able to prove" thing come into play.

As far we can see, it does look like they use language.

1. We can tell they give each other unique names

2. similar use of "baby talk" in mothers.

3. Their clicks and whistles three key linguistic laws of efficient communication, namely, Zipf’s rank-frequency law (humpback whales also shown to follow this), the law of brevity and Menzerath-Altmann law...but only till babies reach a certain age!

That humpback whales will communicate with fewer vocalizations in the presence of noise but still seem to understand each other

I will take this article with a bag of salt but I think we are very close to solving the human communication problem. Not because the machines are perfect but because the human, our benchmarks, are prone to mistakes and so a "close enough" machine would pass as a human just fine.
But in reality those limits don't disappear, they just get buried deeper, hidden in the docs somewhere.

AWS Lambda has a default concurrency limit of 1k and each function has a configurable memory limit.

Sure, those limits allow for a lot more elasticity and flexible pricing but the limitations haven't disappeared.

Also, there are now some 'serverless' hosting providers that do fixed monthly pricing (fermyon.com/pricing). Isn't this taking the best part of serverless ad absurdum or is there something I'm missing?

Lastly, I hope I don't sound argumentative. I work for a company that has the described problem of multi-tenant SaaS and I love Postgres, so I am fully supportive of your mission!

Everything they "addressed" in the film was done so hamfistedly and badly.

> A billion dollar private software company told us that their public cloud spend amounted to 81% of COR, and that “cloud spend ranging from 75 to 80% of cost of revenue was common among software companies”

I find that quite hard to believe.

I mean, I can see that if you were selling cloud backup services and stored customer data on S3, I can understand S3 costs being a big part of your budget.

But for the vast majority of businesses - I'd expect a supermarket selling a $50 basket of groceries to spend maybe $0.01 on database storage and CPU and whatnot.

I don't see that a company like Slack, which has revenue of about $8.75/user/month would need to spend anything like that much on cloud costs.

I would suggest that you are not providing all the facts.

I am banned in 2 subreddits (run by the same group of mods). I was banned for breaking the rules. Fair enough. Like many people I have more than one reddit account and while logged into an alt made a comment on the sub I was banned from.

Different account name, same browser, probably the same IP and it was a perfectly innocuous comment. Nothing bad, nothing rule breaking. I assume the mods joined the dots, told the reddit admins and I was suspended from reddit for I think 2 days. Maybe 5. Maybe 7. I really cannot remember.

I also use Firefox, Firefox Dev, Edge, Safari and Brave to access reddit but FF is my main and old.reddit.com is always on.

What I suggest you did was to login with a different account and then comment in the sub(s) you are banned from. They suspended you which is fine - they do make this very clear. They got me, they got you.

It has nothing to do with browsers.

If you can't afford to pay for an IDE then your employer should get out of software development.

That's a hard fact.

Any organisation that can pay a salary or a contract rate, pay for a computer for the person to work on, pay for the hosting of their service, well they can also afford to pay for the tools that the developers need to do their job. And if they really can't, as I say, they should stop doing development because they are deeply unserious.
>I have a right to the things I create. I have a right to modify them. I have a right to destroy them.

This is absolutely correct. However, the tool in question attempts to poison the entire model, including the work you never created.

Put it in my phone as a reminder with a notification set to a more convenient time. The intrusiveness of the notification is proportional to its urgency. Usually just a silent badge.

Not in my experience, unfortunately. The reps we got with GCP could give us advice, but no real powers to push stuff or solve problems, it felt more like L1 support. As described bellow, maybe it depends on a company size and/or a country.
Yep, customization is usually the answer. Or something that exists in one ecosystem that is not viable to deploy (looking at you R ecosystem).

For example, its possible, and common, to have a penalized linear model (or logistic model) where just a part of the features parameters to be fit are subjected to the penalization hyper paramenter.
Or more complex and costumized loss functions, corresponding to zero inflated or truncated distributions. Those are very cool and sometimes fit to problems directly.

Nailed it. When we've had problems with AWS, I could drop our rep an email and be on a conference call with the engineers who run the service a day later. That not for a giant account, either.

They'd also periodically reach out to offer free consulting services that would cut our monthly bill. They were upfront about the motivation: they wanted us to integrate more of their services. The upside for us was that we could get better, cheaper service. If you're planning on sticking with them anyway, that's a very attractive offer.

Meanwhile, the support venue for our enterprise Google Workspace account was a mutual support web forum as far as I could tell.

Unless you've experienced both, it's hard to believe how radically differently the 2 companies handle customer support.
Yeah the delta in cost/CPU/memory/storage between self hosting on second hand stuff and paying cloud services is insane. It's a no brainer if your use case needs beefier hardware than the typical $5/month VPS host and you don't have enterprise level liability/uptime expectations.

With stuff like proxmox you get a pretty similar level of ease of use to managed VM services too.

Who is "You" in this statement, and what "system" is filtering it?
The argument being stated multiple times doesn't mean it is valid.

Amazon, Microsoft and Google have all launched roughly as many products in the last couple of decades, and killed roughly as many of them unceremoniously after the products failed. (Amazon execs used to outright brag to the media about how many products they killed, since it showed that they were daring to take risks.)

AWS, Azure and GCP have also all launched roughly the same product portfolios, and each of them killed basically none of those products.
Exactly. But but but we were told that Meta was collapsing 1 year ago for sure due to their massive spending in VR and AR with the stock falling to less than $90.

Its almost as if that full emotion took over the markets over and switched on to complete fear mode and was a complete nothing to see here in the end showing that the so-called death of Meta Platforms Inc was over exaggerated by the media.
