You can’t be serious? AWS blows kindle out of the water in complexity and impact. Basic AWS started in 2006, Kindle in 2007.

The number of products under the AWS that are more impactful to society and more profitable to Amazon is vast.

Since there has never been a time in history when this hasn’t happened

The only solid thing I’ve seen for brain health is maintaining physical health

Yup. And my only car is a Ram 2500 crew cab with 6.7L Cummins diesel.

I live in the east bay and my trips to the ocean and Tahoe have dropped to zero.

That’s the whole point. Make people not want to come here.

Simple dead hangs are a good start. Lots of people can’t hang for 30 seconds

Manufacturing is brutal at efficiency. Every generation they aggressively cut material use and process energy usage.

Look at any device that had a lot of metal years ago.

The second part is phones have replaced a lot of people’s “stuff”. Young people prefer phones to cars even.

You can loads of “stuff” on your phone and it’s just software.

It’s past that point. China would take the lead in three months.

Even if they were 95% as good, but 30% of the price, they would win

Three IDEs in one day. What’s going on? This, txt, and Rune

A comparison with emacs and vim would be nice.

Agreed. The unbearable smugness of the coastal elites is so pervasive, a person will dismiss “those people” but tie themselves in knots to avoid criticizing even the least the current protected class of the month

Agreed. My daughter with a degree in math from Berkeley served coffee and tutored for a year before being accepted into a math PhD program. Amazing

You don’t have to be neurodivergent. Weed is bad. Not going to jail is one thing, actively pushing it is another

Just as well. Look at the contracts. Ebooks are draining our libraries of funds. It’s so much better for the library to borrow a physical book

Programming is freer, faster, more shared, and has more corporate sponsorship than ever before.

You think it was always this easy to find high quality docs and packages written by others for free?
