Sounds like they're having a 'NSA Moment'. After the leaks, there was a Bunch of high profile stories about employees leaving after their neighbors/friends/normies found out the sorts of stuff NSA was up to....
It was watching all the potential being squandered and the internet basically being relegated to click farming and selling people crap they don't need.
All the really cool stuff seems to have died with the bubble...
It has been done... We used to get our POP gear built out from Dell (?) in shipping containers - pre-racked, wired, and cooled - just add network/power feeds. We'd have them dropped places we needed more capacity but there wasn't space available in the DC.
Nice to see Crystal is still going strong 10+ years later !
I was never a Ruby coder, but I'm surprised it didn't get more adoption. Is there a reason ? I figured it was supposed to be like 'Ruby++' and eventually most Ruby projects would migrate to it ?
Yeah - writing styles have really changed over the years. Last time I ran a business document thru Grammarly, I was told it wasn't written at a 6(8?) grade level and was too complex :-P
When I first started out, I was taught you use passive voice in proposals (eg 'a program will be written..' not 'I will write a program...') since you didn't know who was actually going to write it. I can't imagine how that would go over now...
yeah - that's like PCBWay, et al. You can make boards yourself (even etch your own if you want to). But a lot of people opt. for the convenience of out-sourcing it.
