I think I misunderstood what you were saying. By "in-memory KVS" with "access times in the microseconds" I thought you were implying a KVS hosted on the server that handles the requests. Otherwise, even if the KVS can respond in 100us to a local query, network latency is going to add much more than that.

Exactly this. One of the most important things that enhances safety is to avoid doing anything that surprises others.
Kind of side steps the fundamental scaling issue though.

In a banking app there will be more requests for the account balance than there are logins, but logins will likely take longer.

Your argument is more around who is allowed to touch which and who is responsible when it breaks, but not around one of the core reasons to choose microservices.

I hear what you are saying, however, the vast majority of toxins that enter our bodies come through our mouths and out of choice. Some of these toxins, such as alcohol, cigarettes or processed meats are known to be carcinogens.

There is a very different level of dosage involved, that one cosmic ray from outer space that one time is vastly outnumbered by the trillions upon trillions of atoms that could be carcinogenic that come through the mouth, typically on a daily basis, for decades.

The body is pretty good at taking out the trash, including the mutant cells that did not reproduce properly. This goes on all the time. One cosmic ray from outer space might scramble some DNA but your body can deal with that as an isolated incident, the mutated cell(s) just get taken out with the trash.

If you overwhelm this system with too much garbage for the body to deal with then that is a causative factor that was not controlled.

It is helpful to see things this way because it enables a sense of perspective. It is not going to be 'forever chemicals', 'insecticides' or anything like that, you need to worry about. What goes in the mouth rather is what counts rather than these theoretical other things.

This means taking seriously what research in cancer, diabetes and other disease has to say. For cancer there is clear advice on what to avoid, same with diabetes and much else nobody would wish on anyone. It is defeatist to be in denial about this to assume that random cosmic rays play as much a part as the garbage we willingly consume when it comes down to it.
I think this is applying pedantry in the wrong place.

Language Server, you say? Ok, it serves a language. But how? Using LSP? Ok, sounds like an LSPS. The client would be an LSPC. LSP is not the only language an LS can speak, it's overwhelmingly dominant, yes, but the Dart language used to speak its own protocol, and SLIME is also a distinct protocol for what we may reasonably describe as language servers. Similarly, although HTTP(S) is the only hypertext protocol in common use, we don't call it a Hypertext Server, we call it an HTTP server.

I think it's more than alright to elide LSPS as just LSP. At this point that's idiomatic. But my point is that the term is anti-redundant, unlike ATM Machine and other usual suspects in this perennial Internet topic: it elides, rather than duplicates, information.
Steal everyone's copyrighted materials under the guise of "fair use", process them, then go full capitalism as if nothing happened. First benefit is that they don't have to pay for any stolen content, second - all competitors will be left in the dust, since they can't easily replicate this trick.
I use Linux on my servers and would love to use it on my laptop.

But there is Outlook and some corporate tools - it should be possible to find workarounds but I am not sure of that (how to read my PSTs for instance).

This 100%. Still depends on the specific context (e.g. what type of software are you going to build and run), but for a typical case, like web-based transactional self-service business platforms, this is where I arrived after more than 25 years in the industry.
This is the first I've ever heard of the principle: excellent stuff.
Ignoring the RTO part, I'm always confused that a CEO implements weird sweeping changes like "we're increasing the ratio of ICs to managers by 15%".

Like, if he's not happy with the productivity of his workers, shouldn't he be telling his SVPs/VPs to come up with plans, and/or hold them accountable?
Agreed! There's waterfall & agile and dogmatic & pragmatic. I've never worked on a dogmatic waterfall project but have worked on several dogmatic agile projects (that made me strongly wish I wasn't).

In the pragmatic waterfall projects I worked on, during the Design phase there was still coding (by juniors, on submodules with obvious predictable designs as well as some refactoring (yes!)) and testing going on. It's just that in the Design phase it was understood any coding might need to change. In the Code/Build phase, design changes were still possible as issues were discovered (with maybe just a little more resistance). In short, we were very pragmatic about it. Much more so than with the Agile religion.

The Design phase focused on designing but not exclusively so. The Build phase focused on building but not exclusively so. Humans were building things long before Agile came along. The pyramids were probably built with a pragmatic waterfall method, not an agile method (pragmatic or dogmatic).

You scale the whole thing. There's no issue at all.
I agree that seems like the next step, but how will that help push salaries down? I thought remote work would do that much more, coz many employees would move to less expensive areas in the same country and new hiring would focus on lower-income countries.

This cost savings from remote work is what I expected to push adoption of remote work more, and I'm surprised by this reversed trend.

It's always that projects grow large in terms of people working on them and that is when you want to create independence between teams by reducing the amount of cooperation needed on a very defined boundary/interface between them.

Usually you start small and grow bigger, so there is only rare exceptions where it makes sense to merge microservices back into a monolith, except maybe for cases where going for a microservice architecture was a bad decision taken without actually having the above mentioned problem.
Well the other thing is paying for luggage. No-one wants to pay for luggage. But if luggage is free, it means that everyone with no/small luggage is just subsidizing those with luggage.

I know that at one point they did (2012-ish), but do they still? From what I could make of some of the recent reverse engineering research on Qualcomm modems, they seem to suggest that they've been using a homegrown RTOS for awhile now.
Data separation in enterprise-land means customers don’t want components that touch their data to be shared with any other customers. So a shared but sharded database is no good. In practice you often run a standalone stack for each customer, including their own database. This pattern is a nightmare from an operational scaling perspective, but that’s part of why enterprises are asked to pay so much.
That's pretty much par for the course.

Good idea to wait until Xcode 16 comes out.

In the past, I have used the betas, but I have a couple of apps shipping, now, and don't want to be stuck not being able to put out fixes.

Should also mention that if you update your phone/iPad/TV/Watch, Xcode 15 won't be able to run stuff on them.

Honestly this whole yack shaving around Founder Mode and variants of it is getting really tired and tiring.

The only thing to be said is that every company is unique at a unique point in time and space. Very little truly actionable feedback is to be learned from either successes or failures of the past.

Greenhouses in the Netherlands would like a word, which are growing high nutrient crops fast using elevated CO2 concentrations. It's not the rate at which things grow that makes them less nutricious, it's selectively breeding for things that grow faster without bother to also select for "and taste good/have plenty of nutritional value".

This one doesn't get to hide behind global climate change.
Cutting 75 basis points instead of 25 or 50 (as Warren is and others are advocating for in the letter they sent Chair Powell) isn't attempting to make the economy "look good artificially." I strongly believe it is important to demonstrate this signaling is not about optics. It is to put more effort into preserving the health of the labor market by pulling forward rate cuts the Fed will be performing regardless (with some amount of risk of inflation being a bit sticky). If you are familiar with her background, this should come as no surprise (labor > capital and other econ metrics). She's doing her job by advocating for an aggressive monetary policy stance (imho). This also aligns with Fed statements recently indicating they are willing to act to protect the labor market.

> “We’re not just an inflation-targeting central bank,’’ Powell told the House Financial Services Committee on the second of two days of semi-annual testimony to Congress. “We also have an employment mandate.”

> Powell told the House panel on Wednesday that to avoid damaging the economy, the Fed likely wouldn’t wait until inflation reached its 2% target before it would start cutting rates.

It means disparate servers which explicitly signed the interoperability agreement with Meta - however, they could well then connect using the same bridge instance via Matrix for expedience. And yes, those servers would need to provide enough anti-abuse data to allow Meta to accept their traffic.

Look at their H1B visa data and hiring in India (at least with regards to corp jobs, not US warehouse workers). They absolutely could find these folks in the US who don't need sponsorship.

Is this H1B visa fraud? Good question for USCIS and Congress. How Amazon feels about worker rights and regulation, as well as regulation as a whole, is a bit of a known quantity at this point.

I like to follow a pattern I call monomicro. Basically I develop separate programs for different functionality, but make them embeddable so they can be composed and run in the same memory space for small deployments. The code that runs https://lastlogin.net is a good example. For LastLogin it runs as a globally distributed cluster on fly.io, but it's also fully embeddable in any Golang program to act as an auth layer.

added to my beautiful warnings collection. Fry citing Black Mirror to represent the dystopic threat of AI social credit is a perfect an example of how important fiction is. Orwell's novels prevented national identity systems for more than half a century. stalling these systems using the obstacle of having to overcome peoples apprehension of it from art gave us time to muddle through.

I disagree with him on coordinating an international regulatory response because the threat isn't from the tech, it's from the people with the tech (the NRA argument essentially, but hobbling the virtuous in the hope of depriving the malicious will always be an irreconcilable perspective to me). the analogy of AI to money is compelling, but it reduces to an argument for people in institutions to reach into the substrate of something to seize its means of production to control it. money regulation just happens to be the most sophisticated, transnational, and least constrained regulatory system to bring to bear on it, but the similarities to AI end there. money isn't an analogy for AI, the regulation of money is an analogy for the complete global control he's advocating.

his appeal for regulation is an appeal to force. these are important ideas and the beauty in them is aesthetic armament for conflicts ahead, but like his artistic forebear P.G. Wodehouse, on this issue I think he's equipping the wrong side.
> Any arguments to support this claim? What's the difference then?

The "micro" in "microservice".

Microservices are meant to do one "micro" thing well, whether it's image hosting or credit card transactions or supplying the content of a tweet or whatever.

A monolith does all the things, or most of the things. It's not "micro".

You don't need arguments to support it, these are just the definitions of the terms. It's semantics.

A monolith can't be a single microservice because it's not micro.

Some trauma can make for focus and push. Most everyone has some amount of trauma just for existing. Higher ACE scores correlate with much lower life expectancy and worse outcomes, far higher rates of suicide, mental illness, substance abuse.

It may make for extremely driven people! Maybe many of the people with the most drive get it from a reaction to trauma. That doesn’t mean that the average person does better with trauma though.

Check the CDC site on ACEs. Or almost any other site. The data is astoundingly clear.

After reading this article, it's crazy to see how the attitude has shifted, and number of immigrants exploded in recent years. I just spent the past 2 weeks in Japan and was surprised by the sheer amount foreign workers. I remember almost a decade ago until COVID, whenever I visited my wife's hometown in very rural Fukuoka, a Russian woman married to a Japanese woman and myself were literally the only foreigners in the town. When I went there 2 weeks ago, I saw several foreign workers at a 7-eleven.

Ai in practice doesn't have anything to do with simulation, nor with 'solving a significant part of the most complex brains'.

Can you be more specific? Because if you mean scale... meh.

For the most part, scaling a system is fungible across features. In particular, in a monolithic system, if I had to add another server due to logins, I just add another server. A side benefit is if logins are down but account balance checks are up, that extra server can pull that duty too. I don't need to say "these computing resources are only for this feature."

Isolating failures is way more important.

It's so hard to do well that most organizations shouldn't do it. I have never seen a good manager hired from the market. Through referrals/network: yes, from within: yes, but never from a posting "come be a manager here". I'm not sure if the interview funnel is hard to build, or if the posting attracts the wrong sorts of people, or maybe another reason entirely.

The common theme in both of the successful methods is that the candidate's leadership ability has already been observed. And if they already work for you, then they have a value adding position they can revert to if they turn out not to be a great leader.

Would geolocated historical seismographic data do?
You can host somewhere where it is mainly limited by bandwidth instead of traffic. So something like a hetzner dedicated server wouldn't be impacted by this (it's 1GB/s unlimited). The worst that can happen is that your site is sluggish or that hetzner takes it offline due to excessive usage (but I've only heard that happen when you use the full bandwidth for weeks and it is your fault).

Plenty other providers have similar offers, its not a given that you pay by traffic.
>Yes and history before that doesn't exist

Oh, no, it does.

The history that the land used to be Ottoman Empire, then under British rule due to WW1, Britain allowed Israel to be made, then Arab nations attacked Israel 3 times in war, Israel won 3 times, took some land, now Arabs are mad because they started wars that Israel won.

That about covers it.

That only makes sense if you think it takes 12+ hours to charge. 20 minutes on the charger in the morning while I'm taking a shower and getting dressed and it's fine for the next 24 hours. Oh no, I can't wear it in the shower. I wasn't going to anyways.

Yes. It's better than burning £100ks by over complicating things and wasting your developer's time.

Most startups fail. You need to cover as much ground as possible while you have runway, not cock about with microservices.
i would argue the communication registry of influencer/youtuber culture skews superlative.

The only information about this obsession in the document is about learning, and there is a specific mention that people are judged based on results and not hours, so I am willing to say that this language is much less alarming than what I heard in my experience in startups.
> This is a sign that the software has grown to become its own operating system. They also have to add their own version control… remote editing, etc.

Not really, though most of the commercial CAD systems are comparable in size to an operating system already. NX just spits out the journal file, it's assumed the dev will take the code and modify it to their needs using their normal dev workflow and their own version control, IDE, etc..
