Why has the seasonal workforce shrunk?

Usually most staffing issues can be solved with higher wages. Could it be a solution here?

It worked fine, we had no issue with it. We moved to SQS because it was one less thing we needed to spend time on.

I tried very hard to use postgres as a queue, it was robust but slow once I started to push from more than a few processes/servers. Moving to zeromq initially and sqs after solved all my perf issues, and was still solid.

Oh! I couldn't find it when I looked for it this morning. Thank you!

Nice. It reminds me of a blog of a guy who had mounted a flatbed scanner on an electrical motor to make a digital photo before digital camera existed. He had added one of the resulting picture of his backyard. It was one of the most viral Slashdot post at the time.

I did not know the term but I'm thinking that the old project management triangle (cheap, good, fast) is a specialisation of that concept.

Publication (Facebook, insta, reddit etc...), yes, messaging not so much.

Most publication and messaging tools strip exif data, which is incredibly frustrating when friends send you pictures taken together as you no longer have the time stamp, nor GPS coordinate.

Didn't the courts decide that if it's just for learning everything is fair game?

A380? Did you mean A320?

Before the concept of cloud was a thing, every company and a computer room, smaller ones were literal closets, bigger ones were large data centers, with everything in between.

Skills can be hired and trained.

The price does not matter, even if it were free. If you need to be logged on into an external service to be able to code, it's just not the same any more, and I'm thinking of basic technology here, but the political/distopian ramifications are crazy.

For me, the biggest shift is people who don't care about local AI. The idea that you can no longer code without paying a tax to one of the billion $ backed company isn't sitting well.
