This has little to do with economics.

Age 0-18: You are under the care of society.

Age 18-60: You are a productive member of society.

Age 60+: You are under the care of society again.

This is always how humans have lived.

I use this and it's convenient but the fact that Google can wipe out my entire digital identity on a whim scares me.

> It’s not clear to me _why_ this has happened

I always assumed it was a combination of WW II, collapse of the Empire and then a series of terrible governments since the 1960s.

A compelling successor to both Heroku and App Engine is Google Cloud Run. Dead simple to setup, no frills and cheap to run.

Yes but after exceeding ~2 solar masses (Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit) the neutron star will undergo further collapse to form a black hole.

A good number of their engine components these days are made of cheap plastic that just disintegrates after slight use.

Tldr - The author likes some memes and doesn't like others. I'm not sure why this warrants a blog post.

My one annoyance with these is that they aren't supported in Typescript i.e no return types.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've read far too many isekai manga/manhwa than I should have (not super into anime).

Shield Hero was good but FFF-Class Trashero probably tops the lot for me. Really good storytelling and incredible character development.

It's funny that this applies to not just programming but a bunch of other stuff like politics and religion.

I have a similar implementation of RPC over AMQP in Node.js and 2 things i'd advise. (Similar to my sibling poster)

1) Don't requeue on error. One bad message could bring down your entire service. Better to just push it to Sentry and make a fix for it.

2) Have a timeout in your message handler.
