From the article

To address the alleged censorship part, the site also links to various options available to the public to circumvent the blocking efforts. This includes switching to third party DNS resolvers.





I generally agree, but there are some things that are oversimplified. Sure a point(x, y) can have public attributes, but usually business objects are a bit more complex: insurancePolicy, deliveryRoute, user, etc. Having some control over those is definitely something you want to implement, at the cost of some boilerplate.


Hence 80%.

Most apps out there are a CRUD with a thin layer of logic.

If you are in the 20% that needs real performance, an ORM is not gonna cut it, no matter what DB you have.


It’s literally what an orm does, and it’s good enough for 80% of apps out there. Using it for the wrong purpose is what’s silly.


In my 15 year career? Dozens. Maybe low hundreds. Depends what you work on. Oracle is not making any friends lately and a ton of companies a whole-sale migrating to Postgres, MongoDB, DynamoDB or some of the NewSQL contenders. It’s like 50% of the projects I’m involved in. Results are generally positive, with some spectacular wins (x3000 acceleration or x1000 lower costs) and a few losses.



I agree with this. When I publish my code, it is documented for someone in my field with around my level of knowledge. I assume you know DNS, I assume you know what a vector is, I assume you know what a dht is, I assume you know what O(log n) is.

I’m not writing a CS50 course, I’m helping you use the code I wrote.

Might be different for software like libre office which is supposed to be used by anyone, but most software on earth is built with other developers in mind.


Humanities are very important. Robots are not yet capable of flipping burgers!



Meh, nothing a VPN and a 3 bucks a month VPS can’t solve…

yells at cloud in IPv4






No. Only a few people in the world are capable/dedicated to breaking copy protection. Everyone else just downloads already pirated software, no matter how hard it was to break. It’s just as easy.

If I wanted to play GTA V (which I acquired legally twice) I would just look for a pirated copy. The legal one keeps updating every few days with huge downloads, requires you to download some crappy launcher, the launcher also needs to update, you need to login you need internet connection, etc, etc. It’s a terrible hassle and made me abandon the game mid-story.



We should then fork the project, and maybe create a struggling database company around it!


I have both Echo Shows and Google Nest Hubs. You select an album in Amazon or Google photos and can manage the photos there, at least Google Photos does offer an API. They use between 2 and 4 watts of power and if you want you can get news, sport scores, assistant features, etc. They go from 5 to around 15 inches.




Even the newest Pis use around 2W on idle (which seeding torrents basically is). I’d say the whole setup would be under 10W, or under 5W if the disk is 2.5".



I guess it’s the difference of can today vs could if this emulator existed…
