You should try listening to noir jazz or spy jazz. Those subgenres might be your edge of accessibility now.

For Classical music, just listen to all the works that have been used in movies endlessly.

> What if I don't want to use webpack and npm and babel?

You don't have to use those if you use React. It can be as simple as including a script tag in your HTML and be done with it.

Wow, congrats on insulting people who use a different programming language than you. You really give an air of professionalism in your speeches.

But its the lack of communication on your front that would make people fail your test, not their lack of competence.

Anyone can summon an obscure puzzle and claim its easy when they know the key.

By that logic, lists are just trees with one child per node. Except graphs are just 2d lists if you define them via an adjacency matrix. So we've come full circle.

But we both know they are not very much alike in practice.

Yeah, I have to say I'm a bit surprised to see people so eager to change things that are working, so fast.

I'd advise people to not teach if they don't understand the source material very well, it can lead to spread of misconceptions which can make the concepts more confusing for the students rather than less. I feel this is often left out of these discussions.

You can always pretend to teach yourself to navigate the concepts though, when learning the first time yourself.

I don't think using kubernetes is useful for small projects. It's currently still a hastle, even though it has evolved a lot. Not much in terms of benefits to show for it either.

I would read up on Docker though. Having your apps in docker does provide some nice benefits like better isolation, keeps you up with newer tech and you can then easily integrate with Kubernetes. It's also rather relatively easy to achieve.

Well, look up what companies like IBM, Google, Amazon, etc. are doing with thousands of workers and all the organizational and cultural diversity you want.

I don't get what is "necessary" with his insults. Would delivering the message calmly not be understood?

There's nothing to make anyone believe it's an "effective" strategy. Some people are deterred from contributing because this guy can't act professionally. The only reason people still want to contribute is because of the importance of the project (aka thousands of projects depend on a good linux kernel).

He can accomplish the same things, without going ballistic, in shorter time and with the respect of others earned. It's still using the same few management tools and he can retain his bad temper for when a situation actually calls for it (which is almost never). Blowing everything out of proportion is crying wolf.

Maybe he is not that bad of a person to work with. Hopefully lower than how bad Gates and Jobs were. But he sure seems to hide it well since that's all I ever hear about him. But I guess bad publicity is still publicity.

You can still be direct without having to act out or treat people like they're idiots.

It is not impossible to narrow down the complaints without being rude. Most people do that just fine, with way larger projects than his kernel.

His behaviour is just unnecessary and distracting. It's almost as if he does it for publicity or shock value. Maybe that contributes to his success, but it shouldn't.

I find it weird that people try to defend him rather than acknowledge it is just one of his character flaws. People aren't perfect, and neither is he. Doesn't take from his achievements but acting like he's in the right to behave this way is just enabling him. If people want to emulate him, they should look at the good and leave the asshole behaviour behind.

Thanks for letting me know and for the many replies.

Yeah, I'll probably do just that. Thankfully, I can research it more in my spare time.

I think I'll start with a hobby-project and see how well it goes.

Interesting, okku seems completely outdated but I'll try to look out for an Akka integration as it is a really powerful and stable actor model implementation. Has backpressure and all of the other reactive niceties too.

You might just have converted me to clojure, haha.

I was just looking into Onyx right now actually, haha. It's the first result when googling for distributed clojure. Not quite sold on the model, I don't yet know how the internals work so it feels a bit too magic. But I only got a quick peek so it would be unfair to dismiss it.

The vast majority of apps don't require distribution but I'd like to use a model of computation that would support it when needed so as to avoid large refactoring. And, preferably, allow for code reuse with systems that are distributed.

EDIT: Watching a talk about the internals of Onyx made by the creator. I gotta say, I'm liking it more and more.

Yeah, that's nice for multi-threading but it does not seem as good for distributed systems. This is why I still don't know if I should invest in Clojure or Elixir.

Can the REPL on the server be used to update production systems with no downtime?

Yeah, well, what else did the romans ever do for us?
