It's nice that Scarlett Johansson can hire a legal team for that. Meanwhile the rest of us just has to live with all of the things they've created being used to train those AIs without seeing a cent.
It's funny how some people obsess over the theoretical efficiency of a language used for apps that run in data centers, while we burn through years worth of resources for the blockchain, crypto currency, and AI. 🤡
Dear #Rust folks, the this-cannot-happen-in-Rust toots have been fun in the beginning. But now they get a bit long I the tooth. Sure, you are right and we get it. But some software is even older than you and is allowed to order the hard stuff in a pub. You can’t just rewrite that on a weekend. Also it starts to look shitty on you. I’m saying this, because I like you folks and I’d like to see more stuff written in Rust. Just don’t be the kind of people others don’t want to have around anymore. ☮️
@brejoc Why do you understand it as "rewrite it in #Rust"? I am against requests of rewriting software in Rust towards authors. But I am a big fan of alternatives in Rust (new projects).
Maybe just take it as "look at this museum of legacy languages and learn from it by writing new software in a safe language like Rust"
That being said, if the project authors themself want to port to Rust like the Fish shell does, then I would of course support that approach :D
@mo8it@brejoc I mean, at some point, even the Linux Kernel and Curl are introducing Rust components in their codebase, so it's more "Rust all the things" than "Rewrite everything in Rust" at ths point :)
Folks, please…! Before you drink the #react Kool-Aid, take a look at #htmx or any other framework that let's you extend your current server side application without buying into a whole new ecosystem. You can have interactive websites even without react. You can have a specific UI/UX without react. I'm not saying react is bad, it's just completely overblown for most use-cases. And chances are high you underestimate the downsides. Stay small, stay lean! #webdev#unpopularOpinion#webdevelopment
Oh boy, I’m starting to get really angry at those #mediumBlog|s with the „Read the full story with a free account“ half way through the post. What the heck? No, I’m not gonna register. I’m only getting angry at you, your blog and medium. Go figure out how to use Hugo, Jekyll, or WordPress. It’s not that hard!
If the #EverGiven has shown us one thing, then it’s that today’s interconnectedness without buffers can be a huge weakness. It’s also not unthinkable that something like this could be done deliberately with trade wars on the rise. Let’s have #TheITCollapse as a #ThoughtExperiment. No new chips for several years. Your country starts chip production from scratch. But first they do dumpster diving for hardware. What would be your #bedrockOS? Something that scales well from embedded to datacenter!?
I’m reading over and over that companies and people would like to solve tomorrows problems. What about solving today’s problems first? Or even yesterday’s problems? Quite honestly we’ve got a humongously huge backlog of problems to pick from.
@brejoc This is where your dishonest, overpromising sales department (speaking generally, not specifically) is a double edged sword. Instead of saying you can't do it, emphasize that the miracle you are about to perform won't be cheap to pull off. I'm not saying to be dishonest, but be brutally honest, as you should target the cost and processes to sustain everything through the growth expectation as a result vs the opportunity cost of a poor or unshipped service.
@brejoc When/if the service doesn't become popular, it'll then be on the salesperson and not you, who executed it well, and then you'll be able to reallocate the residual resources to where they need to go. If it is popular, then everyone wins. If the sticker shock forces a halt, then the sales team learns a lesson and telling the customer no now than later when they've banked their business on it is far more preferable for everyone in the end.
Im thinking about replacing my NAS with #Glusterfs. But I’m not sure about one usecase. My NAS serves NFS storage to a KVM host. On the NFS are qcow images. The performance isn’t great but perfectly acceptable for what I do. Would that still work with Glusterfs or would the constant sync of data in the background be too much? #askfedi#askmastodon
TIL that you can restore deleted projects in the #openSUSE Build Service by just creating a new project with the same name. OBS is then asking if you'd like to restore the project. Neat!
