They’re saying that if you’re 55 and in that situation you are in trouble as you’re running out of time to get out of the situation. In your 30s it might not be great compared to previous generations, but you still have time to turn things around.
If your app uses silver light, VB6 or something like that where modern OSs, browsers etc just don’t support it and there is no upgrade path.
It could also be written in a language that is supported, but you just can’t hire Devs for.
I’m almost always of the opinion that refactoring is better than a rewrite as long as the tech stack is supportable.
Everyone wants to rewrite stuff, because the old system is ‘needlessly complicated’. 90% of the time though, they end up finding it was complicated for a reason and it all ends up going back in. It does allow a system to be written with the full knowledge of its scope though, instead of an old system that has been repeatedly bodjed and expanded. Finally, if your old tech stack is unsupportable (not just uncool, unsupportable) then it can be the most feasible way. It will take ages though with no/little return until it’s all finished.
Refactoring is more difficult, as developers need to understand the existing codebase more to be able to safely upgrade it in situ. It does mean you can get continuous improvement through the process though as you update things bit by bit. You do need to test that each change doesn’t have unexpected impact though, and this can be difficult to do in badly written systems.
Most Devs hate working on other people’s code though, so prefer rewrites.

I love mars photos that make it look like you could just stand there and think you could be on earth.
There is a community for it here: https://programming.dev/c/advent_of_code
!advent_of_code@programming.dev
Has quite active solution threads etc.
I’m learning rust from scratch this year. Already two days behind due to being too busy though
What happens if the plane has an issue?
Would have to get a direct flight though!
They list the papers here (there may be more not listed). See how many more there are in 2021!
Ah, I thought it was just a monolithic app you set going and have no control over. Ty
How much does it spam, if I run it am I likely to get ip banned anywhere?
…Or in trouble for ‘visiting’ unsavoury sites?
I mean, during COVID, the folding@home network was the most powerful ‘datacentre’ in the world by quite a margin.
Home computing leaps almost as fast as the data centres do.
That post is from 10 days ago, so is probably the traffic mod?
But it doesn’t have an account total karma tracker (it did, but was removed).
I like it this way, you get approval on your comments/posts, but don’t have a public ‘worth’ value to increase - that can cause problems.
That’s mostly true I think, but it is a really useful resource for mods and I completely understand why they use min karma limits. ( On Reddit I just have a min 5 karma requirement (posts only) and a larger range that just triggers modmail - filters out 90% of bot posts and I can manually address the false positives. I would hate to have to manage a larger community)
For my personal projects I somehow ended up with git being on a OneDrive synced folder - carries over the general changes, then explicitly commit and push to get it to GitHub etc.
shorthaul or longhaul?
I think its about 50% on Europe to Europe flights
It be would be much better if they just showed the number of Wats you are working at, and the total joules of work done at the end of the session. This is probably configurable on most exercise bikes, but calories are much friendlier for the average user.
How do you clean them, pipe cleaner?
I wouldn’t call B1M in depth…
This is particularly concerning to me with most of the wealth belonging to generations that are now retiring and selling off their stocks to fund their retirement.
That + climate change + authoritarian/strong man government’s looking more likely makes me nervous about the long term stock market.
I guess that’s not new though.
The PE ratio is 30 currently which feels high…
