Hello, my name is Astra! I am a trans girl from Chile born in '01 who loves computing, drawing, writing, and research!

I love the world and everything in it!

"... we have arrived at “Serverless”. You deploy individual stateless functions. But not inside a Java monolith, that is old, but on top of a distributed system. You would have been laughed out of the door if you had proposed that in 2000, and you should be laughed out of the door right now, but such is the power of marketing... and instead of combining them all on your desktop, you send them off to someone else’s mega-mainframe. You deploy, get an error message, and login to CloudWatch to see what actually happened - it’s all batch-driven, just like the bad old days, so progress is slow. At least we’re not having to walk to the printer on every try, but that pretty much sums up the progress of the last half century"

@brettm At this point, I'd much rather prefer having to split my 3270 console screen with my JCL code and the output of SDSF (or JES output on a 1403-type printer if the mainframe doesnt have SDSF) to debug legacy COBOL code than deal with whatever the fuck is going on with distributed "serverless" programs.

Hey friends, I'm need money for food and transport again. I'm having to hitchhike my way to school this week because the alternative would be not eating lunch.

I'm going to need around $50 USD to be on the safe side for the coming weeks.

Goal: $36/$50

Please help others who might need help more urgently first.

cute robot girl with a built-in high-energy cannon in her arm because she was developed as military tech, but she's an anarchist, and she fights against the regime that created her

with her precise movements and her computing power she's able to calculate the trajectory of her projectiles with immense accuracy and she's only limited by the theoretical range of her cannon; she's essentially able to take down her enemies firing artillery barrages from her cannon before she's even spotted

also she really likes headpats and bugs

is this anything? :neofox_heart:

Help, my computer thinks it's a mainframe! :blobcatgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands:

A screen capture of my several opened windows showing running instances of IBM's VSE/ESA and OS/390 running on an VM/ESA system. The VSE and OS/390 windows are showing their respective login screens, and beneath them there are their respective master consoles. To the far left there's the window of the emulator, it enumerates the multiple disks that are currently loaded alongside the CPU usage.
