yes, and it's already some offerings like that but they all cost a lot because they only good for "I have some idea of workload for N hours or days" lets rent it and run. That fine for some experimentation but if you think about renting something 24/7 even for example to share it with the friends that will cost at least 4x from any API prices as result (something like rtx 6000 48gb will cost ~$470/m).
it worked for me okay when I needed it for myself in my personal account. But when I tried setup this for a company I spent almost a day solving lot of small puzzles in GCE like how to tell CEO that he have to connect billing account created for other purposes (and he not even remember at time that it exist) to new project and all other things that others talking about.
Lead grades vary across the manufacturers. A Faber-Castell or Staedtler 4B is closer to a Japanese 2B. The four Blackwings are closer to Japanese 4B, 2B, B, HB.
it doesn't imply that lot legacy apps won't crash in prod when it will be actually released. Cool that some complex app is working but is nothing proving that everything will be fine when everyone will try to upgrade.
I don't think that Devs making those chooses but business and industry forcing devs to explore other options. One of the main issues with Scala currently that is no good selling story anymore for a business peoples. Even Rust story with 'memory safety' very fragile because not a lot of businesses see it as huge issue which worth additional effort (probably only MS backing helps there).
In the past it was lot of selling points that business could see:
- 'better java' - more velocity over java without loosing anything
- 'type safety / FP' - less errors that cost money in production (backed by 'Typesafe/Lightbend' company)
- 'akka' - platform for distributed/concurrency applications (in pre kubernetes era was big demand for it)
- 'spark' - initially Scala was only way to use it fully
- 'twitter' - startup success story
- and few more
But now nothing from this list has any real meaning for peoples making decisions currently.
Kotlin actually suffer from this too as 'better java' not that big deal when java constantly improving.
However Kotlin has Google's as godfather, want to develop for Android with the official tools? Kotlin it is.
And no, Oracle lawsuit hardly has a role into it, as Android is still mostly all about Java ecosystem, Gradle, InteliJ, Android Java gets updated even if sloooowly (Java 17 LTS currently).
Had this not been the case and it would be yet another JVM guest language.
I heard that recruiters also use amount of connections to filter out candidates, and they probably view it as if you don't have 500-1000 connection probably you just don't fit basic requirements of the the role even with 10+ yoe.
Even is so stupid but looks like in last few years lot of strange metrics like that used more and more.
I recently had opposite experience - I been using NixOS with X11+i3 for about 2 years and never had any significant issues beside some troubles with one Nvidia driver version, even most Steam games worked for me without any issues. But out of curiosity decided to give try Wayland+Sway. First Sway remind me that Nvidia GPU completely unsupported and probably wont work at all, but in really fix for that just to use some 'unsupported' flag to launch it. After that I found that displays fractional scaling only can multiply original resolution to bigger size so is no way I will able to set up my 3 different displays in way I would like. Then I found that Zoom app can't share display even if everything for that is provided and it thinks that sharing actually happen (it can share if used thought web-browser and it also some workaround with virtual camera thought kernel module and OBS). After that I found that Barrier app (that I been used to share cursor/keyboard between desktop&laptop) while has support for wayland it can't work with Sway yet and is no any real alternative.
For now I can deal with that stuff but it looks like more I use wayland more issues I see so not sure that I will able stick with it long term.
Interesting. From looking into it Wayland had issues with Nvidia, I thought that was already fixed?
I admit, it is a bit of a hack getting screen-sharing to work; I've not really had time for it yet as it isn't a daily driver for me.
