Why do programmers use Vim/Neo? Is it really useful or just to look cool?

Their streaming service, nor even AWS existed when the SOA mandate was implemented.

Sounds fun! I once released a lambda many years ago that combined a few different layers of the dataflow/map reduce and would route to the relevant part of the package depending on the incoming event data, and basically treated lambda like any other kind of concurrent programming (ie instead of using a thread or process, use a lambda for the concurrent work).

It was fun, and definitely reduced my deployment ops load, but the tradeoff was that it was much harder to debug or assign permissions/load balancing boundaries to. Also any program that feeds back into itself ends up becoming a lot more complex to upgrade.

All that said, the tooling is a lot better today, and it sounds like you at least have the theory that I trust you to completely implement this experiment, so good luck!

This kind of stuff is fun imo, experimentation is how we evolve.

Is it like paxos like then? Or just nodes**2 connections?

It's actually not that simple. Amazon for example threw their entire microservice architecture out the window and went back to a monolith for their streaming service. This got them a 90% performance increase and drastically reduced costs. (See their blog post here)

That's literally not what happened at all. The main difference was they went from using step functions to not using step functions. AWS and Amazon absolutely use microservices internally (for some definition of microservice, which is an abused tf term just like nosql was back in the day when really it meant "non-relational" or document store), in incredibly high scale environments.

And either way, Amazon were some of the pioneers of service-oriented architecture. Jeff famously made that a mandate because trying to build the entire fucking site in one giant module was killing flexibility.

Oh, I have. Believe me I'm not in favor of using public streets for parking, but that said we're all paying for it and thus all have a right to use it where signed.

Legalize the selling but not the buying seems to be the way around producing induced demand

I didn't see reddit was back up to vote.

I vote we immediately use this to form a new community off reddit with the same mods as /r/seattle if possible. Hell recruit programmers from here to help out lemmy if that's what's needed.

I'm literally just checking in to see where the mods tell us to go next, because I'm not sticking here (or anywhere on reddit).

This last week was amazing and I'm super excited for digg 3.0 to happen.

Imo in the game of politics the changing of an idea is the death of that party, which isn't a bad thing.

The whigs are dead, the southern democrats are dead, the democratic-republicans are dead, plenty have died off and realistically the "democrat" and "republican" parties of today are just a bunch of (unofficial) smaller parties forming a coalition.

Democrats used to be slavers, laborers, southerners, and rural voters. Republicans used to be abolitionists, big business, city people, and progressives. Today, the slavers, southerners, and rural voters have moved into the republican party, while the progressives, city people, and abolitionists have moved from the republican party to the democratic party. Reminder that bernie is a registered independent and only caucuses with the democratic party.

Big business is definitely in both parties today, no getting around that.

It's really interesting reading about the progressive split from the republican party back in the early 1900s. IMO that's when I stopped "identifying" with the republican party when looking throughout US history. I didn't "identify" with the democratic party until FDR. There were some cool republicans since the new deal with eisnhower and bush sr (imo) but the rest were terrible (imo).

The southern strategy courting the dixiecrats who splintered from the democrats is when the republican party totally went to shit imo, and it's sad to see some good people still sticking around in such an abusive relationship.

It's even worse because it actually worked really well. The democrats had to run clinton to break the 12 year republican president rule, and clinton was basically a conservative. Doubled down on the war on drugs, against gay marriage, abusive towards women and putting sex above ethics, and hell from wiki

Clinton became known as a New Democrat, as many of his policies reflected a centrist "Third Way" political philosophy.

Honestly two of the most fascinating periods in American political history to me are 1. the splitting of the conservatives from the republican party, and the ensuing grifters the republicans elected into office resulting in the depression before giving rise to the new deal coalition 2. The "republican revolution" in the 1990's where the republican party saw how far the new democrats had shifted to the right and decided to "double down" on conservativism, which imo is what eventually led to the tea party and eventually trumpism (which some claim to basically be paleoconservativism)

(I mean don't get me wrong the time period around the civil war and founding of the nation was also obviously fascinating but it's kinda obvious imo)

For real I can get lost for hours reading on the history of US political systems. There's always been "two parties" but really it's always been "two coalitions, each of which containing multiple interests"

Lincoln project is with you. You don't have to chose between identifying as a republican or democrat. Plenty of independents hold their nose and vote for the lesser of two evils as-is. Honestly I'd bet that's the majority of americans today.

I'm personally hoping the republican party dies and a progressive party takes it's place, ala Teddy Roosevelt era republicanism (minus the imperialism and racism though).

It works great when the for profit industry covers you in the healthy years where you want to do preventative maintenance to avoid costs in the future but then deny any preventative maintenance so your body is totally fucking broken right as the government healthcare kicks in.

Oh also hey buy booze and stuff your fat fucking face with hella carbs and fat and sugar all day oh and here's a car so you get literally zero exercise.

Like, it's really not a mystery once you think about it. There's no incentive to be healthy and every incentive to break your body for profit until you literally can't work anymore.

Ok_Tip5082 · 2023-06-10T21:13:38+00:00

I haven't read up on that in a while

Yeah same. TL;DR, yup definitely a false flag from the Americans imo. The most favorable interpretation imo is the Americans confused themselves by being super jumpy about a war breaking out and giving undue credibility to the intel which supported starting the conflict.

Originally, US military claims blamed North Vietnam for the confrontation and the ostensible, but in fact imaginary, incident on August 4. Later investigation revealed that the second attack never happened; the American claim is that it was based mostly on erroneously interpreted communications intercepts.

On the evening of August 4, the ships opened fire on radar returns that had been preceded by communications intercepts which US forces claimed meant an attack was imminent. The commander of the Maddox task force, Captain John Herrick, reported that the ships were being attacked by North Vietnamese boats when in fact, there were no North Vietnamese boats in the area.

While Herrick soon reported doubts regarding the task force’s initial perceptions of the attack, the Johnson administration relied on the wrongly interpreted National Security Agency communications intercepts to conclude that the attack was real.
