  • For one, the United States lacks a good press corps of independent journalists with broad reach.

    Everything is either politicized or commercialized. Shock value sells. Balanced rational discourse does not. Polarization makes too much money for too many people.

    On top of that, a systematic destruction of education and a stranglehold of religion practically makes ignorance inevitable.

    Maybe we could repair it, but it would take Republicans being blocked from making any decisions for several decades at this point.

    It depends. I’ve done it a few different ways:

    • YOLO: especially with thugs like PHP you only affect one page at a time and with low traffic the odds of a problem is small
    • Maintenance page: temporarily show a page. Some servers like IIS have this built in. Otherwise it’s a simple update to httpd conf
    • In a cluster environment, just take the node you’re updating out of rotation, and only update one node at a time.
    • Copy and switch like you suggested. Can be combined with any of the above and is a smart move if upload is slow or can be interrupted, or it’s cumbersome to restore the old files

    Edit: spelling




  • Since unity is c# I think maybe you phrased that opposite of what you meant?

    Anyway, I work in an enterprise environment. We use both Java and .Net, and it largely depends on which group you’re in. Neither Java nor .Net is going away anytime soon.

    You really don’t get to stick with just one thing in a developer career. Learn a little of everything, especially multiple paradigms, and specialize in a few related to the business you work for.

    A key skill is adaptability, learning as you go. If you make yourself too specialized, you’ll set yourself up for being laid off when your skills become obsolete. I have interviewed a few older IT people in that situation, only a few years from retirement.
