Problem is that companies are using them for all scenarios. It’s often their entire tech stack now, with kubernetes.

It’s similar to the object oriented hype that came before it, where developers had to write all their programs in a way so they could be extended and prepared for any future changes.

Everything became complex and difficult to work with. And almost none of those programs were ever extended in any significant way where object oriented design made it easier. On the contrary, it made it far more difficult to understand the program since you had to know which method was called in which object due to polymorphism when you looked at the code. You had to jump around like crazy to see what code was actually running.

Now with kubernetes, it’s all about making the programs easier to scale and easier to develop for the developers, but it shifts the complexity to the infrastructure needed to support the networking requirements.

All these programs now need to talk over the network instead of simply communicating in the same process. And with that you have to think about failure scenarios, out of order communication, missing messages, separate databases and data storage for different services etc.

Haven’t used reddit since before Lemmy now. I think it’s soon almost a year without them. :)

Ok sometimes I visit their site if a search engine links to some response. But then I’m out of there right away.

Barely. :)

That’s cool but I only use a few on the mobile. Adblock origin and Bitwarden. Guess I should check out what else is out there.

Many weird behaviors has been caused by this. A friend of mine couldnt see any new posts in a community anymore until he figured out this was the reason.

Took a long time to figure out too… It’s not exactly intuitive.

I wouldn’t want to work making games. Very difficult to get a good game going and very much competition.

This week in gnome : Send Money :)

I don’t know about the game but the airport is really spooky.

That one was really good. I’m impressed by the level of insight here. Feels like we were a smarter species back in 2000.

There is a lot of weird things about that airport, but the murals and the statues are probably the most interesting.

Yep, stay away from it, could be dangerous for you. :)

US is scared now of someone making better and cheaper cars. :)

Also it’s super plastic and feels cheap. I was disappointed in it and went for xc40 instead with higher quality feeling.

They saved too much on it. Even volvo itself said that they make almost 20% profit on it which is much higher than their other cars.

I wouldn’t want to associate this place with the garbage social media pits like Facebook and Instagram…

I liked the idea of calling it antisocial media, because it really is about building the opposite of what Facebook and Instagram is about.

I worked in places like this and I’m not going back unless consulting prices go back up again… The pain is real.

Royale wirh cheese.

Could be fixed by countries adding tax funded discount on leasing electric cars, since fossil fuel consumption is the largest source.

Make it possible for everyone to lease a new, modern electric car with a large discount.

Perfect is the enemy of progress. Since there are no silver bullets, I would go for a solution that helps instead of being passive. But that’s me. :)

This sounds like written by an Ai or some marketing person…

Ordinary people don’t use phrases like “box maker System 76” or “highly anticipated by the Linux community”…:)

Are you having two fiances? Why do you say they? Is it to not show gender?

I think it’s funny how it becomes intentionally confusing and unclear who you are talking about. :)

First thing I thought was that he is alive. There is no evidence of his death even.

1984, 17 days ago

Your attention is the new economy.

So you are literally giving the guy money by thinking and talking about him. I wish everyone would just turn off their TVs and stop visiting news sites. Imagine the calm and peace.

I can’t believe it’s still at 170+. People must really not realize that the first mover advantage is over, and Tesla has had their moment already. They are not going to lead this change to evs. Most manufacturers have good or better electric cars now.

Also people can’t afford them. Current prices are ridiculous. The company that brings low price evs that are good enough will dominate the market the next 5 years. It won’t be Tesla.

Another reason to work from home! Not that we need any more.

All of this is the opposite of being real. People who are actually real have no attraction to publishing what they are doing to their friends at random times.
