I was told that this was so that they could craft cirriculums that stretch decades when it could be taught much quicker. Doing so would be deterimental to the labor market in academia.

that's an awful long winded way say you blame immigrants for problems that have long existed before their arrival

coldstarts - not an issue anymore

unpredictable billing - this is why you setup billing alerts and not an issue unless you hit HN front page

vendor lock in - you can take your functions and upload it to google, azure, cloudflare

the thing is they blame immigrants but won't do anything against the real driver of housing unaffordability, the collusion of regulators and corporations offering large liquidity to housing market.

its breaking apart. the city of vancouver is broke and basic services are being scaled back.

theres also a large brain drain here. only idiots work for vancouver startups/companies that tries to gaslight you that sunshine tax is real.

you realize there are many many affluent immigrants who do not participate in the labor market but pay taxes, invest, and otherwise provide liquidity for the locals holding real estate portfolios?

no but i think theres similar zombie giants that is essentially a hybrid state run enterprise but Canada has explicitly designated industries where you simply cannot execute because they are anti-competitive.

and its not clear how individuals are being handed out rights to say run a casino in canada.

if you took a look at canada's corruption, you will be shocked. we don't quite live in a first world even though we like to tell ourselves all of the government officials/servants are honest.

after all the canadian embassy staff in Hong Kong happily handed out PR residency to hardcore organized criminal groups in exchange for various luxuries and perks. when a staff tried to expose it, he was quickly removed and media began to attack him.

its not only that but you see NGO's championing for racist white supremacy linked groups who vandalize Chinatown in Vancouver and with a large chunk of locals who feel that they are "being overrun by a certain ethnic group" eat that up and the same populist individuals get elected again and again. then my tax goes towards those interest while none for me because i'm 'privileged'

in the long run, I see this system breaking down, if not already. Canada no longer feels like a country but some feudalistic interest group driven, poorly run corportation.

so glad i dont have to pay taxes here. the savings and currency difference allowed me to create jobs in another part of the world. there was a time where I hoped things would get better and I could be creating jobs locally.

i just regret wasting my youth in canada and west coast. canada is a bubble and lot of us are moving capital/jobs out of it.

why contribute to a country that just sees you as an ATM to transfer payments to others who blame everyone but themselves and constantly wanting hand outs?

im done with canada and im warning anybody who still attach romantic outlooks, especially in heavily marketed cities like vancouver.

> Canada is easier to immigrate to as a high-skilled person.

False.

> It's a great weigh-station for immigrants who want to eventually move to the US.

Many do not, they move back home.

I know many countries have problems but Canada is in a okay spot. Specific cities have looming crisis on their hands but this is largely the fault of provincial governance.

Little of that I attribute to Canada as a hole, I just find BC in particular to be quite mediocre in terms of value compared to what you pay.

your assessment would've been correct 3 or 4 years ago but there's just no need to scaffold ec2, mysql db inside a vpc. You can upload your environment via docker and start serving serverless. You can then use serverless db that is 90% cheaper and far less hassle than scaling up or down ec2 instances/rds, configuring vpc, setting up nat gateways etc

my view is that if you are not on serverless, you are wasting resources that could otherwise been dedicated to building out domain knowledge

our team focuses on optimizing each function and less on devops/scaling. the plumbing work is gone and all we do is now translate business requirements. security concerns are also largely removed.

its a great time to be on serverless, it had to overcome lot of doubt but it is here to stay. no need to pay $5 / month either for your weekend projects. even if your project hits front page, it will still work, the billing is not even that bad for what you are getting.

serverless environments do not carry the devops overhead involved with kubernetes or other container orchestration.

thanks I feel good now, I almost turned down a 4-bagger offer until I read your comment, but I am a bit wary, the new CFO is a bit of an unknown. am I going to show up on his radar now? I feel like the business can't run without what I built and my maintenance, in-depth knowledge of the critical business processes.

sorry but the convenience is way too much for the vast majority of people to have to download desktop and access it. everybody is content being able to do it through the phone.

oh wow thanks i didn't know about this. in that case it would be super simple for me to wrap up a FastAPI server with SQLite or even some in-memory database that runs elsewhere, deliver as a single file!

what I really dislike is some linux user trying to brush those things off as a non-issue, it sure is for non-seasoned users.

and this to me is the biggest hinderance to its wide adoption. it caters to a specific crowd.

Nothing, the vendors can block/choose where they want to advertise their products in.

a thousand euros for a linux ultrabook is a bit of a stretch. there are many alternatives AND I can run both operating systems via dual boot.

why is this written in Go , are there specific features that shine over Python3? I've been looking to learn Go, it seems lot of network intensive software use Go.
