Totally agree. I live in a country where tipping is not normal but will gladly give tips to staff when they make me feel like they want me there.
I have been to a number of places in the post-covid era where they expect me to shell out large sums of money for little value. Just recently being in the US had me feeling this way more than elsewhere, but I can point to other examples in Europe.
The actual washing of the dishes we have automated, not the loading unloading, folding of clothes and organizing them in my closet. I spend at least 1 hour a week on that stuff… ~52hours per year I could be doing art and writing.
1 hour a week means you live alone. Add a partner and a kid or two, and someone will be spending one hour a day on unloading and sorting laundry into right wardrobes.
(On average. Realistically, it's more like a day and a half every two weeks or something).
Chores are terrible life suckers, and I for one subscribe to the notion of eliminating them with technology.
Is that a problem with the underlying infrastructure though? Im not seeing how using postgres queues would solve your issue... Instead it seems like an issue with your client lib, SAQ not providing the appropriate tooling to debug.
FWIW, Ive used both dramatiq/celery with redis in heavy prod environments and never had an issue with debugging. And Im having a tough time understanding how switching the underlying queue infrastructure would have made my life easier.
No it's not a problem with the underlying infrastructure. I believe the OP was asking why use this product, not why is this specific infrastructure necessary. The infrastructure before was working fine (with SAQ at least, Celery was an absolute mess of SIGFAULTs), so that was not really part of my decision. I actually really liked SAQ and probably preferred it from an infra perspective.
It's nice to be running on Postgres (i.e. not really having to worry about payload size, I heard some people were passing images from task to task) but for me that is just a nicety and wasn't a reason to switch.
If you're happy with your current infra, happy with the visibility, and there's nothing lacking in the development perspective, then yeah probably not much point in switching your infra to begin with [1]. But if you're building complicated workflows, and just want your code to run with an extreme level of visibility, it's worth checking out Hatchet.
[1] I'm sure the founders would have more to say here, but as a consumer I'm not really deep in the architecture of the product. Best I could do could be to give you 100 reasons I will never use Celery again XD
I don’t disagree. Someone above said bytedance is valued similarly which I find really surprising given the value-prop of the two companies couldn’t be further away from each other. One tries to suck time and energy away from humanity while the other tries to expand our human capacity beyond our planet.
If I were a betting man, I’d wager SpaceX to be valued more in the long run.
As a backend who finally bit the bullet and started learning react a few months ago, my #1 learning resource has been ChatGPT.
I can tell it what I want it to do, iterate on the idea and see how it changes. After I did that a few times I was able to tinker myself on the project and again ask ChatGPT how to improve the code.
Perhaps it’s just my learning style, but it has been really refreshing experience to learn with something(someone).
Same... I especially love pasting in a screenshot along the outerHtml from chrome devtools and ask "make those aligned on the same line, the thing with the text on the right" and it finds the right combination of flex and margin values on elements.
Yes, learning with ChatGPT is indeed a different experience. 1 problem I generally face with GPT is their old knowledge base, at times they will give you codes for older versions of technologies. I faced major challenges with vue and angular js in getting the latest information.
I’ve been watching the F 35 at the Baltimore Flyover this weekend. What an incredible machine. The agility and speed range that it can travel in the air is astounding.
Lucky pilots that get to fly this tech and dawn that helmet.
No US fighter jet in history can reach 2000 mph, the F-22 can get to a bit over mach 2, the F-35 can reach mach 1.6, neither is anywhere close to 2000 mph (mach ~3).
The F-15 is probably the only American jet fighter to ever get close to 2000 mph by reaching mach 2.5.
I’d rather an A/C-130 or a A-10 flying over me every day of the week. I’m sure this is cool for the pilot in the seat, but who cares about that except them.
Unfortunately the AC-130 and A-10 aren't survivable against any sort of serious aid defense system. They won't be flying over you if they get shot down by a SAM on the way there. This is the main reason the JSF program was started in 1993 and the problem has only become more severe since then.
F-35 barely has a shot against modern layered Russian air defense. It’s not stealthy enough, counting on engaging beyond the range of air defense abilities to respond is iffy, considering the range of the AGM-88G and the Russian S-400 and one would assume the S-500 is better but who knows.
The expense and rarity of the F-35 only exacerbates this problem, you can’t afford to dangle them in front of air defense so they turn their radar on, you could loose the plane.
Better luck to be had by spotting air defense from satellites and launching cruise missiles or stealthy drones.
I don’t see a place for the F-35. To fat to dog fight, to expensive, fast, and too limited in weapons stores for real CAS missions, too expensive to keep running in the numbers we would need for an actual great powers war. Barely made sense in 1993, it really really doesn’t make sense in the modern battlefield today.
In any major near-peer conflict our reconnaissance satellites will be the first casualties. Don't count on having those available to spot air defenses.
Obviously an F-35 won't be sent in alone to perform CAS in a high-threat environment (unless the situation is really desperate). But it's at least somewhat survivable. Those legacy platforms aren't survivable at all if the adversary has even basic air defenses.
Once the “destroying satellite” line was crossed (and associated Kessler syndrome destruction that would bring to the world) I can’t imagine a nuclear ICBM exchange wouldn’t be next. So I suppose none of those planes matter
Based on what’s happening in Ukraine, I suspect any airplane is basically just a lift platform for missiles. They’ll be fired off well behind the front where established air defenses can counter enemy air defenses.
When I had my US phone registered on WhatsApp a few months ago, there was a MetaAI interface to interact with. Now that I have a European number, it no longer appears :(
