What? If nothing else, Airflow is massively used. Kafka is also quite very popular, I see those two very, very often.
Even good old httpd, while having lost its crown to nginx, is still powers like 1/3 of the web.
News of Apache death seem greatly exaggerated…
Why you gotta call me out like that
I mean, it’s a different kind of lovable. Capivaras have that “I know what you did and I’m not happy with you but I’m not going to make a scene right now but just you wait until we get home mister” look. Which is endearingly sweet when you’re not the direct recipient, and even if you are, you know it comes from a place of love.
There’s got to be a git repository out there that has a smoking gun in its history…
Cool story bro.
You’re utterly delusional. If this system has done anything is to stiffle small, independent producers and consolidate power in megacorporations.
This is the kind of crap you’re defending: https://patents.justia.com/patent/12268585
This is a random, recent patent from P&G. Read that bullshit, and then tell if if what they’re describing isn’t the most generic design for a diaper or sanitary napkin ever?
“One permeable layer facing the wearer, then a semipermeable layer that tries to only allow liquid to move away from the wearer, then an absorbing layer, then an outer impermeable layer”
Oh boy, if it wasn’t for that patent, I’d be pumping 500 million dollars into building a factory so I can flood the market with my cheap fake products! - said nobody when they read that.
It’s hilarious how far removed from reality your ideal of patents is…
it costs millions of dollars to get a manufacturing process up and running and in a good enough state to where it can actually work out financially. Without patents, your competitor can just take all of that work and investment and just copy it with the benefit of doing it right the first time, so they’re able to undercut you on cost.
This argument makes no sense. Manufacturing lines are built all that time for unpatented products, plus a competitor can’t just “take all of that work and investment”, they will need to put in money to create their own product, even if it’s a copy they still need to make it work, as well as build their own production capacity.
They’ll be second to market, and presumably need to undercut price to get market share… This is a very risky endeavour, unless the profit margins are huge, and in which case, good thing that there’s no patents…
If the research is so costly and complex (pharmaceutical, aeronautical,…), then it should be at least partly funded by the government, through partnerships between universities and companies.
Patents are not a solution.
Companies already issue digital boarding passes. I have a government issued digital ID in a phone app. These are convenient.
But facial recognition? Hell no, f that.
Isnt that like all phone makers recently?

As a software house, running our own infrastructure would be a nightmare in so many ways… Just thinking of all the hardware that needs to be deployed, and how many sites worldwide we’d need just to provide the same level of service we have now, and then being able to scale up massively during peak time but have all that capacity go to waste during low season, then dedicated teams on all sites to handle emergencies 24/7, the massive loses of revenue anytime the services are down…
“Just in-house it” is definitely not the answer, there’s a reason AWS makes so much money.
Thanks for the straight answer, brother.
Brother. I work in a company with 10k workers. The company loses thousands of dollars per second of downtime, if it’s something that affects the availability of the main page or the checkout process.
If that happens during the peak season, it could be hundreds of thousands per second.
With those kinds of stakes, you don’t just jerry rig your hosting, and very frequently, you don’t take your chances with in-housing.
You put it in one of the big 3, because they don’t fail, and if they do fail you, you sue their ass.
This is surprisingly myopic from someone who supposedly works in the field.
Where do your full stack applications run, my friend?
Because unless you’re in China or Russia, the answer is either AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Nobody is looking to reinvent the wheel. The call is for the EU to invest heavily in infrastructure, like building its own chips, creating its own data centres, and yes, developing its software industry to provide alternatives to all the proprietary/closed stuff.
I’m a firm believer that hardware must never be linked to any sort of subscription to function. If it does, then it’s because the hardware only serves as a way to access the content, but in that case, it must allow competition between providers for that content.
If I buy something, it’s mine. No one should be allowed to dictate how I use it, I want to be free to do what I want with it.
What the heck are you on about. That’s the worst possible solution to this, are you some sort of masochistic?
If Siri is something that needs to be paid for, don’t bundle it with the system. Charge extra from the start, and people can opt in to that shit.
Also, they run a massively profitable software store, and THAT is what justifies and pays for the bug fixing and security patches to the overall OS.
The “cell a year” practice isn’t to cover development costs, it’s to bring in massive profit by milking the consumeristic herd that buys their crap.
Thank you for the analysis, very insightful!
Do you reckon this is more of an oversight or bug in the BT stack, or a deliberately places backdoor as the title seems to suggest?
Reddit has rules against inciting coprophagy? TIL.
That’s not what this is, and even then, that competition wasn’t even good. You had two countries hoarding technological advancements for themselves, with everything having to be discovered twice.
This is a worldwide collaboration, where each assists the others, and it’s a much better way of making progress. See ITER.
I see Brennan, I upvote. Love the guy, his DnD campaigns are a blast!
