hmm how can I reuse this useful Go library in python... Oh I can't.. hmm and how can I reuse this useful java library in php ? Oh I can't. Oh and which of the programming languages you mentioned can and do use C libraries? All of them.
Reminds me of that coworker who thought that OpenCV was basically written in python.
I'm not claiming that there is no C or C++ out there. But it's such a nit pick when for most developers, no, their day-to-day work absolutely does not involve the creation of object files.
Sure, akshuwally, there are still C and C++ devs out there. Meanwhile a friend has just embarked upon a career as a pro COBOL developer. What of it?
Edit: Also, in the spirit of akshewally, I have just googled up this monster! My word, PHP and Java AND XML... it's like the unholy trinity of HackerNewsbane... https://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/
> the meme of all protests and civil discontent in Asia being the product of Western influence is a popular one among right-wing circles
I listen to enough "right-wing circles" to end up getting people tarnishing me as one just for standing up for them (despite all kinds of progressive views) and I frankly don't know what you're talking about. My friends that tend to get interpreted as "right-coded" have historically been supportive of protest movements in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
I share the same perspective .. I was also wondering how UDA handles the problem of evolving schemas, "old clients" communicating with newer server or vice versa.
>The truth is that although the AWS Load Balancer Controller is a fantastic piece >of software, it is surprisingly tricky to roll out releases without downtime.
20 years ago we used simple bash scripts using curl to do rest calls to take one host out of our load balancers, then scp to the host and shut down the app gracefully, and updated the app using scp again, then put it back into the load balancer after testing the host on its own. we had 4 or 5 scripts max, straightforward stuff..
They charge $$$ and you get downtime in this simple scenario ?
I used to work in this world, too. What is described here about EKS/K8s sounds tricky but it is actually pretty simple and quite a lot more standardized than what we all used to do. You have two health checks and using those, the app has total control over whether it’s serving traffic or not and gives the scheduler clear guidance about whether or not to restart it. You build it once (20 loc maybe) and then all your apps work the same way. We just have this in our cookie cutter repo.
For now at least. Some day everyone's relatives will be digging through databases of their ancestor's grand wisdom filleted wide open. Maybe it'll even use all that info to recreate an Ai version of them. Sorry just thinking out loud.
It will sometimes let you register without a phone number, but other times it will demand one. I imagine it has to do with IP reputation and how many accounts have been created from your network recently.
So it's not just a meme that Germans like to put "Deutsche" in front of every product/company name, it's the reality. How imaginative, the marketing departments who come up with these names must be making bank.
Well who ever came up with "Deutsche Linux-Distribution" most likely did not have a marketing department.
Besides, putting "German" in your product name at the time (199x) actually was a savvy marketing move, especially if you are the first in a particular niche. There were lots of buyers who wanted to buy fully translated software back then, and the sticker "Software and Manual in German" probably is the most successful sale booster of the 80ies and 90ies in Germany.
This of course does not even touch the subject of localization issues, just to name 2 from the top of my hat:
[1]For years (maybe a decade?) Apple maps had issues if you tried to enter an address the "German" way: <Streetname> <Number> instead of <Number> <Streetname>.
[2]To this day websites ask me for "states" in my shipping address. Yes, Germany has states. We mostly dont care about them. No one puts the state in a shipping address. Shops, please stop getting annoyed when I dont know if you expect me to enter a 2-or 3-length string as abbreviation for my state (which you dont need for anything, anyway). VAT is a federal tax, therefore its not different from state to state.
The Netherlands had that system as well. But entering the number first is faster: the number needs to be exact, but the street can be autocompleted easily.
That the distribution was a fully translated system together with a thick manual (of course also in German) was the whole point and idea. Your comment is too dismissive in my opinion.
The manual was pretty much a Linux for beginners book. It not only explained installation and basic system administration, but had substantial vim and Emacs chapters, as well as a chapter on retro gaming using emulators. (SuSE 5.3 in my case).
So it's not just a meme that Americans like to slap a flag on everything they import from China, it's the reality. How imaginative, the marketing departments who come up with these names must be making bank.
Last time Germans put a National in front of an organization it did not go so well.
Similar with Reich but surprisingly there are still a couple of things starting with Reich, like the Parliament building is still called Reichstag even if there is no Reich no more.
Americans use National mostly when things are uncontroversially national and international. For mostly national and controversially international things they prefer World, like World Series, WCW, WFL.
> the Parliament building is still called Reichstag even if there is no Reich no more
"Reich" isn‘t a Nazi thing. The building was already called that decades earlier. It goes back to the last German emperor, and Reich actually means empire. The Roman Empire is also called Römisches Reich.
