I must disagree so heavily with you here. Prices can depend on so many factors, but.... when that particular account is choosing that particular machine, AWS knows what it will cost, and they can show it to them dynamically. It's very difficult to be convinced in this day and age that you cannot have a dynamic price chart right beside the machine sellector which is showing or calculating prices in real time for that particular product.
About using IaaC to set-up the infrastructure, sure, but sometimes you just need to browse stuff before actually writing code to get a feel.
Cyprus, Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia: all small countries with small population divided by civil war. More than population it can be the strategic location of the country and powers that want that country.
Simplest in this sense does also imply predictability for Dark matter, which cannot be said for angry gods. Angry gods is anything but a simple theory.
aether was not the simplest explanation since it was disproved by Michelson-Morley experiment. Nothing as of now yet has disproved Dark matter as thoroughly.
Aether: observations show lack of aether so we update the theory that makes aether unnecessary.
Dark matter: observations show lack of observable matter so we keep hunting for decades locating it. The aether analogue would have been to continue to look for dark aether. Dark matter is more like god of gaps. We can 'darkify' any theory that does not fit empirical evidence.
It's hard to tell now which leans more towards the more correct theory.
Distributions using outdated (sorry “stable”) kernels are stupid.
We are not 20 years ago, the world in which it made sense doesn’t exist anymore, but the industry is slow to move on. Just pick a long term release and update it regularly.
Distros (point release distros) should use LTS kernels and keep up to date with them. Their "we'll maintain our own kernel branches" model either leads to many missed bugfixes, or duplicates Greg K-H's workload internally, for no practical benefit.
If a distro is suspicious of particular patches in the -stable tree, they could maintain a blacklist of them. However, instead of doing that and accruing overhead of possible future merge conflicts, they should hash out their concerns on the -stable mailing list.
The same thing happened with matrices. We had matrices for 400 years, but the field of linear algebra and especially numerical linear algebra exploded only with advent of computers.
In olden days, the correct way to solve a linear system of equations was to use theory of minors. With advent of computers, you suddenly had a huge theory of gaussian elimination, or Krylov spaces and what not.
Ask your IT department what they're tracking and they'll tell you. And yet I assume you still continue to go to work or do not actively seek out non-surveiling companies. By "everybody," maybe iI should clarify that it’s "majority" instead.
That's fine but realize you are not representative of the average tech worker or indeed any white collar worker such as those we are talking about in this post.
1. But they are not paying for your training which you are bringing to the company.
2. About ranting about company, it is difficult to organize. That's why unions existed, and that's why unions were allowed to meet in work hours.
