I don't see anything that looks like a troll in this post, and the modding is the example of the behavior tearing apart the US

I remember looking at a conversation not long ago where any mention of Ivermecton would result in someone yelling at you out isn't for use in Humans. You can't have a nuanced conversation.

This is the description on Wikipedia... I don't understand why people on Slashdot would rather mod others to -1 rather than have A good intentioned conversation.

It's all tradeoffs and what kind of problems for features. You get different problems from developer incompetence between serverless and server.

With a monolithic server, things sometimes become spaghetti complex because you always have everything running and it won't be torn apart easily. I fix this problems when consulting. On the bright side, the frameworks tend to be batteries included and startup time doesn't matter.

The biggest screw up I see from engineers with serverless is not engineering to minimize cold start times. Fuck ups would choose java even before SnapStart existed to bail them out (and earn extra money for AWS.)

Lambdas also require some kind of build infrastructure so you don't lose your mind handing everything.

When I see people peddling server versus serverless, my initial concern is if that the code you write shouldn't change much. You have a function that returns data. It doesn't get much simpler than that, bit somehow engineers screw it up. You can mock things. Your can create a local server for dynamo... Especially since it is a glorified key value store

You should be able to trivially jump your code between server and serverless, if you can't, someone screwed up and they might hire me to fix it at some point.

Rust isn't a magic bullet, but it does help to mark dangerous code by forcing you to use the `unsafe` keyword. This can in its own way also force you to be more thoughtful even if you have to break outside of the box.

Other programming languages are not as clear for these use cases. You can cast things arbitraily pretty trivially in C, and a little less trivially in C++ where the act isn't as human visible. That is why I don't really understand the common, "Rust isn't a magic bullet that writes bug-free code, careless devs can write bad code in Rust" I see on slashdot.

Apple has been working with this designer for a while. We got some of her mugs from Apple HQ back in the day when I worked there. The link below is the item I believe.

My wife is Japanese and recognized the designer and was surprised.

It's high quality hand-made stuff that isn't for everyone. You use a Hasami product and you will notice the surprisingly usable design.

I'm going to be snarky. The people making fun of the price are also the ones buying cheap Chinese throwaway junk and wondering why we don't make things in the US anymore. There was a time when we used to repair things and take care of them... because things weren't cheap.

But there is an interesting editorial in Politico (which is left leaning for the people who scream fake news

Opinion | What I Saw of the Real Dick Cheney

I don't understand why the left does not see the connection to that kind of labeling and the result of the current administration and who it even effects thinhs like shutdowns.

Microsoft bought npm to give typescript legs in the javascript/nodejs ecosystem. They also bought Github as a delivery device. It shouldn't be a surprise that Typscript is so large in the ecosystem.

Regarding low level programming, there is some irony in that things are moving to Rust on the FE and BE. I'm personally considering moving full time ot Rust because the JS ecosystem is a bit of a tradgety of the commons. The W3C doesn't want to certify new web standards until proposals are common enough in browsers. But that means a bunch of junk proposals and forced migration of legacy code will happen with new versions of JS. As an example, no one uses the native # private symbol in typescript. There is also the problem of the finally standardized after 10 years decorator proposal... that isn't compatible at all with the typescript version..

It's a bunch of garbage.

I keep seeing people say this, but then why did the Democratic party use donation money to raise MAGA candidates in the primaries?

https://www.npr.org/2022/11/11/1135878576/the-democrats-strategy-of-boosting-far-right-candidates-seems-to-have-worked

This is common news in liberal sources. So I don't really understand the anger when it as the Democratic party that helped to put MAGA candidates in Washington using *your* donor money. Yes there are articles for 2024 as well and I'm sure there are ones for 2025 if you take the time to Google..

The Democrat party either doesn't actually believe MARA ia a threat to Democracy, or they believe the chance of winning is more important than Democracy. There really are no other options.

People here don't seem to have a lot of insight into basic news. I've had people attack me, and mode me down to -1 where I can't reply to people and have a conversation. People would rather not learn from each other in this day and age, and honestly how Slashdot works doesn't help.

It's everywhere nowadays. I'm currently doing a web frontend, and the amazon auth library I'm using is the same size as the rest of my app. 5MB pages everywhere.

It isn't just the transparent look that makes this Apple's Vista, but everything also loads noticeably slower. Choosing a section in the System Settings now feels like loading a webpage... between the lag of showing the section after a click and how the icons on the section load one by one.

I've been a Mac user on and off for 20 years, this is the first time in a while I'm seriously thinking about jumping ship. This is the largest miss by Apple in a long time.

The general problem is if you are not on the largest platforms, you are missing large pieces of the pie.

If you are a video content creator, publishing your stuff on Vimeo over YouTube is a giant loss of eyes. It will lead large parts of the population to not even knowing you exist... because they never leave the app. It doesn't matter how much you fear how YouTube might not be presenting your videos to viewers or threats of demonetization over arbitrary things all applied by algorithms.

Similarly for Amazon, you could make your own store.... but most people will never leave Amazon's app to discover it. You then have to deal with the nightmare return system where you can't interact with the customer as a seller.

Things have become so consolidated that regardless of horrible treatment to the sellers vendors etc, you have to stick with the platform. It IS user centric now matter how many might want to complain. But it also kind of removes a large point of the internet in my opinion.

Chrome is open source, the place where new web standard are prototypes, and is supported on most major platforms. Even if I am using Linux or a Mac, I don't need to worry about not being able to open my bank's page.

While I use Firefox as my primary browser, I don't know if there is a use case for different browsing engines like there used to be. I remember when Firefox let you change stylesheets with an icon for a short while... I don't see that kind of experimentation any more.

This article is extremely ethnocentric in that it assumes Europeans have the same priorities. If there are tarrifs I'm sure there will be more incentives to build thier own solutions. I think I'm a similar way to the US being unable to have manufacturing compete with China, without terrifs there will be no European competition.

You're right in that I think this is a non-article.

These are all side effects of people refusing to talk to each other on the other side of the isle. The only way you get both the republican side and democrat side to be all in on the kind of revenge gerrymandering going on is by having your "media" convince you that the other side is unreasonable.

Here is Jordon Kepler interviewing Trump supporters making them look like idiots about the articles they don't receive in right wing media.

Here is Matt Walsh doing something very similar to liberals to make them look like ideas about articles they don't receive.

Combined, these two videos reflect how the US split itself in two when people agree more than you would be lead to believe. If you watch two videos, how can you with any good intent believe that American's are not dehumanizing each other and teaching each other to talk at each other rather than with each other.

TWX, If you actually care about Democracy, and aren't actually paying lip service, you would be reaching out to try to understand what the other half of America ic concerned about, and showing that you yourself are not unreasonable.

I've said it before, but the liberal side of Slashdot believes that posts like mine are for trolling. The way I was modded to Terrible karma reflects how Democrats are doing their part to try to destroy America, silencing and attacking Independents who they need the vote for.

My general concern for from this remark is that the inability to listen to other people is the reason why elwe have both the Democrats and the Republicans gerrymandering Democracy away.

Even if you think the other side is crazy regardless of your affiliation, ridiculing them, not trying to stand in their shoes, and not trying to understand the two problems is leading to the end of our democracy and elections if Presidents like Trump.

This is where the liberal side of slashdot down views me to the point with my karma that I can't reply using overrated I disagree..
