Broadly speaking, a lot of the 'cloud native' stuff are complex solutions to potentially complex problems that fit within the parameters that those approaches can handle.

If you don't have those complex problems, then it's a premature optimization that is painful. If your use case is not the sort of use case resembling the bread and butter of the applications that instigated these approaches, then it's all pain, no gain.

There was a team that maintained a project that was broadly panned for not being good enough. The developers decided that the cure for what ails them would be changing to 'cloud native' approach, despite the complaints really being about limited functionality, not even about performance or scaling issues. Now on top of having the same functionality complaints *now* they have performance and reliability complaints too, and they have no idea what they are doing, they just arbitrarily carved their single fixed instance of software into a couple of dozen fixed instances of services (they can't figure out how to scale arbitrarily, so they still have exactly one instance of every component). Not one of them is capable of debugging the convoluted network situation they've created, and the logging information is just a mess.

This is still something Slashdot needs to fix because it doesn't just crop up for people confused by multiple mouse buttons, it's also a thing for anyone copying and pasting portions of articles with quotations in them.

Right. It was a fuckup. And moreover, it was anti-developer and anti-consumer. Yet we're supposed to worship His Holy Turtleneck and address our ills with juice fasts in His name.

Thanks for admitting that you're shit.

So there's no market for it. Because Apple killed it.

You already had your turn in the late 2010s after big data and before AI. You don't get to come back to the hype line for seconds.

Sure, they had to sell their stock, including the parts needed to make the machines. At that time they were also still at least assembling them.

IIci September 1989, Quadra 700 October 1991, in almost the same case. Two years, one month.

That statement was stupid, even absurd the first times that it was used — by the Reich wing. The entire reason I'm still using it when speaking to them is to rub their noses in how fucking stupid it was.

You're two steps behind me as usual, but at least you're getting there.

Insert Travolta looking around meme here. This is me, looking for fucks.

And there isn't much of a market for Macs with slots. Thunderbolt 5 takes care of a lot of IO, and if you need more, you're probably not going to use a Mac. Adding wide PCIE 5.0 to the Ultra 5 is going to take some work that is probably better spent on just getting it out the door without the I/O wasting space for 95% of users.

If the airlines are acting as a de facto division of the government by providing them with your personal data, then they should be treated as such. That means they should follow simple rules for protecting PII like collecting and retaining the minimum needed.

You mean like when he claimed the iPhone would be all webapps?

Let's face it, Jobs' only superpower was being a super dick to employees. This can only take you so far.

Since he's living rent-free in your head, can we assume you're the one responsible for the rsilvergun-impersonating LLM spam?
