I get you that it's easy to over-provision in the cloud, but you can't return an on-prem server. A cloud VM, just shut it down and you're done.
AWS talks about minimizing undifferentiated heavy lifting as a reason to adopt managed services and I find that largely to be true. The majority of companies aren't differentiating their services via some low-level technology advantage that allows them to cost less. It's a different purchasing model, a smoother workflow, or a unique insight into data. The value an organization provides to customers should be the primary focus of the business, the rest is a means to sharpen that focus.
😎 If you're not compiling your own kernel 🏋🏼♂️ you're missing out on substantial gains 💪🏼. Just drink a little Nix shake in the morning 🤙🏼, then hit your favorite systemd alternative GitHub pages and pull the nightly 🤘🏼. You'll be so swole bro, you'll be Godify. 🎶
The Chinese version feels higher budget, but is unwatchable. Seems like the show runner told the writers "Anything science-y we explain 3 times, mandatory." Heard them the first time? Too bad, get ready to hear the same 3-minute explanation again, now with more 'I've heard of math, but never actually done it' energy.
The DNC needs to be risking jail like their opposition in order to be effective. Their GOP counter parts showed how effective that could be and have doubled down on it.
Trying to be strong in the face of adversity requires real risk of consequences. Everything the DNC does is so meticulously calculated to minimize risk all they have is posturing. Speed of execution beats the best planned but half implemented strategies.
Fail faster, take more risk, fucking act like lives are on the line and don't worry about which lobbyist isn't going to call you back after you inadvertently nuke their shit.
I feel this. That Valve guy talking about 'Nvidia you're doing lighting wrong' because Nvidia adopted the same logarithmic formula for gamma as photography. Like holy shit I'm sorry Carmack got this wrong, but fr get your shit together Valve. Y'all didn't just invent how the world models light.
Blueiris and some hikvision cameras. It's not fancy, but it's pretty straightforward to get running. I'm not super concerned with alerting and just run continuous recording looping after a few days.
Nope. In the US we have a system enshrined in state laws that cemented a layer of middlemen between auto manufacturers and consumers. These middlemen are called dealerships. They typically run showrooms, sales, and service for one manufacturer and hold a stock of vehicles on site.
These guys made so much money fucking consumers over they're universally distrusted. "Car salesman" is a dirty profession in the US. Because they don't really add value to the process and had a ton of money, they lobbied aggressively to protect their fiefdoms to state governments and successfully made it illegal in many states for a manufacturer to sell directly to consumers.
Awful system. I hate buying a car because of it and go to extraordinary lengths to lie and cheat their system when engaging with them, as they're doing the same by default.

I'd like to understand how self managing all the lower level components abstracted by the cloud is saving on headcount. Care to math that out for us?
