It’s actually not easy to make ammonium nitrate detonate on purpose, and just heating it is certainly not a reliable way of making it do so.

That is not the problem. I'm not a US citizen, but let's pretend I am; as a normal citizen (ie, not a politician or high profile important person) would I be more concerned about my personal data being sent to a foreign country who doesn't know me, my family, my job, and very likely will never give a damn about what i think, or rather my own government who has all interests to know what I think, especially during protests?
I have zero trust in Chinese government, but if I had to choose, even as the European citizen I am (not high profile, not employed in critical areas etc.), I'd rather send my data to China than to my own government.

Yeah, we've removed a lot of code and also a lot of abstraction so the event system should be easier to follow now. We listen to events on both roots and portal containers — this is why it keeps working.

I can't speak to the exact semantics of how portals work with nested trees, but if you find an issue, please file one on our tracker. Some are expected to be impossible to solve, but hopefully we handle the common cases well.

I like the approach of go-winloader, I'd be happy to include an example of using it with webview into the readme. I agree, including 2 DLLs on Windows is ugly, however I believe that using CGo for webview would be a long-term win, because new features of webview may emerge in webview.h and they will be available in all language bindings immediately, including Go. I might be wrong, but I think if there is a solution to include both DLLs (webview.dll and WebView2Loader.dll) into a single executable in Go - that could simplify life for everyone.

There's a related thing you can do. If you have web pages somewhere, create a bunch of blank web pages with just one random word on them (something like "ristordshest") and then create an index page that links to them all.

Then link to that index page somewhere where noone except web crawlers will notice it. Then wait a few weeks.

Now when you

a) sell something on eBay where you are not allowed to link to the product support page page or some other stupid restriction like that

b) want to promote something on Instagram where you can't link to it

I agree with the criticism of SQL here but to make yet another SQL but not SQL is not the way forward imo

I hope the writer reads http://www.learndatalogtoday.org/

In Clojure there are multiple databases that you can query by API, SQL and datalog
Do people do gig work out of choice or necessity?

> It was mainly to save time in writing code to map columns to object properties really, the sql statements themselves were trivial even if you weren't lazy and just used select *.

I am running a side project and yes, writing the native SQL statement to take your object and put it in the database is not a problem, put in the parameterised values and off you go.

But getting the data back from the database? Oh the horror. So much boilerplate in order to see if there are any records returned it all, if there are enough columns with the correct name for the kind of object you are making, if there is data or not in each column as appropriate for that specific column, if a given field can be coerced into being a string or an integer or a date or similar, then they're all marshaled into a dto object which is passed to the create new object validator. 800 lines of code later, and you may have an object back!

Dapper appears to be the sweet spot for me, I am still writing SQL queries and still designing the SQL tables myself, no orm magic here, but it handles the actual marshalling to and from an in-memory dto object versus data in the table for me, and that is very valuable time savings.
Woz was an amazing genius as a young man and turned into a lovable character when older, but really hasn't done anything besides that since. Which is OK, lots of people peak when young (most mathematicians), but still those accomplishments ended. Jobs was a horrible person for much of his life but turned Apple into the world's most successful company from a start in the grave (I know I was in the grave before he returned) and created technology that changed the world. One succeeded early and late (but not in the middle) and one succeeded early and enjoyed the success). Who leaves the bigger legacy? Jobs. Who is loved by all? Woz. Which is greater is not really fair to anyone.
Maybe I didn't understand the question, but a file containing zero lines can be stored on all operating systems. It would be a file of size zero bytes and would show up in directories as such. A "> filename" command (or even a "touch" command with a new filename) run on the shell is an easy way to create such a file. A simple file containing one empty line would contain just the newline character (depending on the OS, this may be LF or CR-LF or CR) and would be one or two bytes in size. On disk, both these files would occupy the minimum allocated block size by the OS for files.
I agree, and happily import moment.js for that reason. But that's not what the GP was talking about. This is not a "microdependency". It's something that should have been included in the standard library, except that JS doesn't have one of those.
What are examples of those "easier things"?
Also worth pointing out that even static languages often have escape hatches into metaprogramming that defeat tooling.

I've seen Java codebases use reflection heavily enough to utterly confuse the IDE.
Though of course then the trouble is, if AWS is simulating specific behaviour, it won't be exactly the same as real problems when they occur. It is a bit better, but hard to say how much better.

I'd think the key on this is being able to simulate very specific partial-failure conditions. e.g. specific packet loss, loss of connections to EBS, etc. Just turning machines off I expect wouldn't be that valuable.

I do see my comment in context of using SQL for your Queries while your main focus as a Developer (like for java etc.) is not writing SQLs as your main priority.

Also it does state 'we can do better than sql' and i do have a certain amount of practical experience to state my personal opinion that i do not think that their approach is actually better than sql.

They did show quite avg examples; Examples which are leading me to assume certain points like where they would like to replace sql.

The downside is that as the application developer you no longer can control the browser version your code is running on, so you may need different code paths for WebKit vs Edge, or old vs new browser versions, but this is the same problem normal webpages have to deal with.

But at least you can call out into native code and native operating system APIs, unlike "real" web applications.
> <insert the DVD Jon story here>

Ah, that's a story I havent't seen cited in a long time.
Browser-based apps get you a lot more flexibility and it's much easier to find developers for it.

I mean ideally you'd create a native application for all operating systems and use their native frameworks, but you need to hire at least two developers (for redundancy / knowledge sharing) per platform and it'll be a constant struggle to keep features aligned. It can be done, but you need a clear vision, alignment, some independence for the native app developers, etc.

But it's pretty much unfeasible for solo developers.

Isnvt that true for SQL? SQL treats everything as a relation and does not make any difference between a table, a view, a set returning function, a sub query or a CTE.

>"It's good advice, but hard to follow in practice. Often when you explore solutions to a problem, even simple ones, the problem reveals itself to be more complex than you'd anticipated. You find sub-problems, and tangental problems, which look just as important as the original. It's easy to go off track and end up deep into the problem you were supposed to just find a quick solution to. After all, it's just one more thing, you're thinking about it, and you'll have to solve it at some point anyway. Why not now?

I've made this mistake a lot. I'm trying to get better at being strict about saying "not now" to new problems that I discover in the middle of an iteration, and avoid getting sidetracked from shipping by working on things that can be left for later. I'd like to share a tactic I use to do this that has worked well for me. It's to ask a simple question about each new problem I encounter: "From my perspective right now, is this a nice problem to have?". If yes, I skip it. If no, I work on it immediately."

Opinion: There is great value to persisting problems that can be instantaneously or quickly solved, if only for the simple reason that they can be thought about; meditated upon; and other/better/more novel/more creative/more elegant solutions devised -- than the one initially determined by one's mind...

In fact, if in the future, I built a large company, and solved all known business problems (well, in that business's industry!), then I'd probably want to get rid of that company and start over again with nothing!

Why?

Well to again rethink/reengineer better solutions -- to the problem set that I once faced as barriers!

You will always think more creatively the second (and nth) times you revisit problems and problem sets!

This might sound crazy to most normal people -- but I value problem solving skills over money.

With problem solving skills, you can always get money -- but the reverse is not always true...

Anyway, excellent article!

Agreed. The name NoSQL succeeded because it was concise and attention grabbing but the main goal wasn’t about eliminating SQL.

A big part was document oriented databases like CouchDB and MongoDB made more sense for a lot of web based use cases, where in the end you’re serving a page of content. Building a relational model often little sense for the web and makes managing the content harder; that a lot of websites can be built with a static site generator highlights that.
I operate 5 inexpensive chest freezers 4 hours a day on a solar microgrid system. 4 hours is enough to keep them frozen hard, as long as they are full. I use water bottles to fill any extra space.

If you put a lot of stuff in them at a time, they will need to be run overnight (>12hrs) to freeze them down hard. If you do not freeze the contents completely at first, it may not ever freeze, because if it doesn't store the latent energy of freezing the freezer won't have enough thermal inertia to remain below freezing during the 20 hours of rest.

On very rainy periods, we can go about 48 hours from the end of the last freeze cycle before any significant melting occurs.

Well I think one thing and which the article describes well, is that colonialism gave external pressure for those nations moving forward. Like being bullied and abused in school before graduating, colonialism gave an identity mixed in with the culture and language the oppressors brought. Tribes that would probably never have formed a country together otherwise, were piled in with arbitrary borders with no regard did it split the tribes or not. And given a name and a flag and told they were now Kenyan or whoever from here on out.

Now of course bullying and abusing is wrong and the bullied have eternal trauma of being subjected to it, but I think there are two perspectives to it. You can either look at it as the worst thing that happened "I would have become rich and famous had I not been bullied" or as something that made you stronger "I've been through worse".

Granted, the analogy between bullying and colonialism might not be completely accurate. But like everything in life things are mostly grey instead of black and white. Can you quantify which color is stronger and equal it as being one or the other? Maybe, but there should be a lengthy rationale how you came up with the conclusion to reflect the best how world truly is (and yes yes, there are exceptions to this rule also). Which the article actually does well, and I wish this type of rationality to difficult issues would be more popular.
