    You would find that banking and it's related fields are indeed very profitable.

    I'd argue that "the cloud" makes traditional computing more efficient. Since their motto is "pay for what you use", it automatically aligns with motives for the most efficient use.…

    I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say. Are you discounting their efforts? Their motives? You're not responsible for everyone else, or if you were, they'd not need to be for …

    Why are you not making them yourselves? If it's because of economics, it clearly indicates unsustainable growth. The only thing immigration would support is below-livable wages.

    Computers are part of automation, just like chainsaws. It's not a new phenomena. It's been sweeping through all industries the whole time. The thing is, efficiency unveils new poss…

    "Big JS app"'s aren't that big if done correctly. The entirety of Angular8 fits into ~170KB, less than some thumbnails. You can write bad apps in any language and environment, simi…

    I believe the government already has the right and power to control what people eat. People form the government, and people (ideally) choose the people to hold that power. In part …

    I don't think people will stop consuming meat if you ask them nicely. You have to make decisions that will hurt the meat industry and make it infeasible. This would likely best be …

    Connectivity is not always available, and errors retrieving it may mean you have to re-enter everything. Being able to "navigate" the site without the dinosaur is a tremendous boon…

    There is a free version of MySQL called MariaDB. PostgreSQL is a very viable alternative. It has different philosophy, and needs a little getting used to, so it's not as easy as si…

    Everything has an absolute complexity. You can't get rid of it, just move it around.

    Page refreshes can be a delta increment, it doesn't have to download everything again

    Looking at the pricing at: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/b2-transactions-price.html It seems that calling b2_delete_key is free. It's just not conveniently abstracted. Listing the i…

    Why would you prevent sharing it when you're already double dipping by introducing a datacap?

    When you do something, the cpu works at _full_ speed for a given duration, which is shown as %/time used. If you make a processor half as fast, all CPU tasks will be performed two …

    Not all abstractions cost anything, they're simply useful. In addition IDEs, compilers and other parts of the toolchain pump up the output quality significantly compared to what wo…

    Optimization is an easy trap to step in. You can take it up in other layers aswell, optimizing your choices about the choices to optimize | Ad infinitum. At some undefined point yo…

    Legacy code often ends up as such, because it was immediately available and immediately utilized. It worked then, and piled on functionality. You don't see good looking legacy, bec…

    I think it's somewhat paradoxical: The software that gets delivered, produces value gets to live. The market prefers just-good-enough software

    You can definitely go the other way to overthink a problem, even as high to induce the halting problem. Absolute optimization is mathematically impossible, and an imperfect choice …

    You definitely can, and that is being done at the moment. I'm reasoning that you could be doing so much more with much less effort and cost if you didn't have as stringent requirem…
