Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

As a huge fan of Top Gear and The Grand Tour, I read Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure. Really fun book giving an inside view of what it took to produce these shows

Bazel has been the most difficult build system to use IMO, glad they decided not to move forward with it

Is there a guide around that teaches you to build a container from scratch with chroot, namespaces and cgroups?

Stories like yours absolutely kill me and I feel so much anger toward the management class that thought it would be a good idea to overhire to such an extent and cut us off like it doesn't matter. I know this is unpopular on HN, but I have never felt more cynical about founders than I have as of late. Almost every founder i've spoken too seems to be drinking from the same jar of koolaid and thinks of workers as dispensable resources that can be let go off in a moments notice. I hate that this is what we've come to.

Probably the best take so far. I lost my job earlier this month and have been noticing that the advances in AI are going to be taking away what I would consider my day-to-day. While i'm in the market still for a new gig, I'm slowly coming to the realization that it might take me much longer than i expect. The increase in CS graduates and everyone wanting to do software is also not helping much unfortunately. I feel like software engineering as a career is going to go along the wayside due to AI. Unfortunately, im unsure what to be upskilling in to stay relevant.

jason2323 — Fri, 01 Sep 2023 16:09:31 +0000

I've heard similar arguments several times, and every single time these kinds of arguments go up in flames when costs are brought up. Even discounting the "elasticity" that building applications on the cloud, its simply far cheaper from a cost perspective to build on cloud. Folks fail to mention that the cost of having the kind of all-round support from IBM that you mention comes at a significant cost that is unaffordable to most business. Its probably cheaper to debug esoteric Linux issues than to call in IBM support. In fact, IBM knows this and has moved a significant chunk of their support team abroad to reduce costs and remain affordable. In my experience, these support teams are usually of poorer quality.

I’m taking a graduate course on Distributed Systems next semester! Excited to get into this in more depth. Thanks for the post!

Being born in a country with a weak passport can hamper your travel experience in ways I never imagined before. I was born in one such country and travelling was always a pain. I needed a visa for pretty much every country worth visiting, was given the side eye during check in, and in some countries subjected to secondary checks. Switched to a European passport a few years ago and I’ve never had a better travel experience. Somehow, i felt I was treated with greater respect than before.

I wonder what their query routing service at the end of the article does and what it’s use is? If they have vertically partitioned their database, shouldn’t their application queries also be split in such a way that they query data from the partitioned database and join them somewhere ?

Can someone explain to me why they need port forwarding functionality through a VPN?

This is my anecdotal experience - there has been a lot of fluff around several products, possibly because of low interest rates. There are few focused builders but the rest seem to preach the concept of “building” but really it all seems to be for show

While I understand the sentiment in the article and this thread. Streaming services like Spotify have unparalleled recommendation and discovery systems. Even if I were to store my music locally, how would I discover new ones to add to my playlist?
