Don’t use Kafka (or PostgreSQL ) as a job queue. Can we just stop forcing this?

Kafka is an amazing event streaming platform.

Dissolve the TSA. Biggest fucking waste of tax payer money and aggregate loss of GDP ever invented.

It's mind boggling how crypto people still trust hot wallets that run as fucking browser extensions.

I think with any database the solution is simply backups no? backups that preferably aren’t tied to the hosted solution at all.

They didn't terminate my contract though, they just nullrouted my server. They even had the audacity at the end of the month to send me a bill.

Do not host anything of importance on Hetzner. They'll gladly blackhole your server with zero recourse.

They also do it when their system incorrectly flags traffic. They're the Paypal of web hosting. Stay far, far away.

> Companies will very successfully have their contracts enforced

Hetzner turned off all access to my paid server due to a false-positive on their netscan/DDOS (literally it was tailscaled doing a netcheck) protection and equally incompetent technical support staff.

Can I sue them for breach of contract and subsequent damages? I moved all my hosting off Hetzner as a result, but I'm still very disappointed in their actions.

It’s enabled thousands of indie devs and small studios to release games every year for the last decade. I think that’s pretty awesome. Unity, the game engine, has undoubtedly been a net positive, and now that torch is being passed onto others.

The company management just totally sullied all that goodwill in a week however.

It's strange how people lambast video games like they're a dangerous addiction but praise those who take time to read, watch cinema, or attend theatrical performances. We all consume our art in our own ways.

Maybe we should appreciate what was made by humans while it's still being produced.

> Most of us however do not have endless stacks of money to burn runing our code.

This is such an absurd take. Do you really think startups lose runway because of the runtime performance of their code, and not failing to achieve PMF, overhiring, or spending too much on stupid techbro bullshit?

> And how many instances would be required if Go/Rust would have been used?

Zero. Because Shopify would have waited until Rust came out in 2015, instead of launching in 2006, and they would never have gotten off the ground and been another failed techbro startup that instead of getting shit done, bikeshedded over languages.

PHP and Ruby apps have generated far more revenues than all the Rust and Golang code combined.

This is mostly just how the Marine Corps fixes fuckups. LCpl Schmuckatelli gets one hooker pregnant and suddenly the entire battalion has their 96 canked, we’re all having 0700 safe-sex safety briefings Saturday morning, and Doc is handing out condoms.
