Re:Amazon reportedly freezing AWS hiring

When I read these type of comments, I wonder if OP is living in some kind of bubble. Large corporations spent billions over the last years migrating to the cloud. You can't simply 'undo' that. All fine and dandy for small orgs, but they aren't the ones AWS makes most its money with.

Re:Companies are paying huge sums to show their ads to bots
on Tuesday October 04, 2022 @10:56AM (#33081299)
I run a startup that heavily relies on ads, and I can tell you for sure that we spend and measure ROI in detail. We have metrics that tell us exactly how much we need to spend to convert a user into paying user, so that we can budget ourselves accordingly; I think most low/mid tier companies do this. Of course, when you look at real giants, its a different story as the ROI is harder to measure.

Re:Arrest of suspected developer of Tornado Cash

I know I will get a hail of downvotes for this, but again you're comparing apples and oranges. The operators are using crypto for a wide range of applications. Using a mixer has probably 99.9% illegal reasons and 0.1% legitimate uses. Making money laundering harder is a good thing, no matter how many people here will try to convince you it isn't.
Re:Redis explained

Well I'm guessing that it's referring to the fact that 1MB sequential is essentially a bunch of random reads?
AFAIK, on SSD's there is no concept/guarantee that blocks are adjacent, so a sequential read is just a bunch of random reads.

That's a false equivalence and you know it. A browser and a coin mixer have 2 very different core audiences, aiming to do very different things. I don't know anyone who has legitimate uses for a coin mixer other than laundering/covering their tracks.

Re:Application Architecture: A Quick Guide for Startups
on Monday August 01, 2022 @05:29AM (#32303722)
I don't know what startups you work at, but in the early stage I'm focused on keeping costs down as far as possible and producing features as fast as possible; not spending time architecting something I can do once I have a team and enough capital to develop it.
A single frontend, single backend, a single DBMS, a single data analysis tool which can connect directly. I don't need a warehouse when I have 5k users.
Re:Ask HN: Why isn't GWT or Vaadin more popular among Java developers?
on Tuesday July 12, 2022 @09:38AM (#32069725)
The is little intersection between people who do frontend development and people who are comfortable at that level with Java.
Considering the tooling for almost any frontend framework is leaps and bounds ahead any of those two frameworks, it's a no brainer why no one uses it, in my opinion.

I don't really get it, it's just a product that has gone off the shelf. The xbox 360 isn't 'dead' it's just no longer sold. I don't think the kinect is any different in that sense, seeing as no new games use it.

Honestly, I've yet to find a backend that is as productive and performant as C# + Entity Framework out of the box. I've tried a wide array of other products, but somehow for ease of use this really sticks out. Of course scalability maybe be in an issue in the long run with EF, but I don't know if simplest and scalability really go hand in hand.

Re:The Covid lab leak theory just got even stronger
on Thursday November 18, 2021 @09:20AM (#29265651)
Investigating viruses is normal procedure and has many advantages. Millions are spent investigating flu, common cold, mutations thereof, and other viruses every year. It's how we know how to deal with them, and how we can get better at making ways to counter them.
If this spill-out theory is correct, the Lab is at fault for improperly handling these viruses, something you can't really fault Fauci for. Unless, of course, you buy in and regurgitate political dribble.

Same thing as last time this was posted; If a resume has Microsoft, LI, Zillow, and Instagram as the positions listed, that person is getting an invite. When 100s of people are applying, hiring managers don't have time to read every last bullet, but will quickly sort through by looking at stuff like that. It's really not a surprise. The more intense scrutinising comes during the actual interview anyways (as most of the people here know, I guess).
