The two biggest wrenches that get thrown into a backend system and blow up complexity in my experience:

- 100x in growth, aka scaling.

- Needing to set up reporting data pipelines. Metrics, auditing, 3rd party uses.

Does the frontend need to worry about either of these? Maybe for scaling, they need to do some CDN work, or is that still the backend developer's job?

The argument by analogy, as I understood it, was the following.

Internet idealism : Internet negatives¹ :: longevity idealism : longevity negatives²
¹flaming & porn ²scarcity & overpopulation

In the context of a discussion about whether or not to undertake a societal change (widespread longevity), bringing up an example of a prior societal change (The Internet) where the result didn't live up to the ideal is more likely than not an argument against making the change in favor of maintaining the status quo (killing statistical 72 year-olds).

FWIW, Redux literally _is_ a pub-sub/observer pattern implementation :) And the Redux core library _is_ extremely small.

But, that led to the community building hundreds of addon libraries for the same sets of use cases, which is what led us to build our official Redux Toolkit package to simplify standard Redux usage patterns.
bs, there are a few very good serialization gems. ActiveRecord and Hibernate/JPA work a lot better than concatenating your own SQL strings.

I am an ex-Facebook Software Engineer specialized in moving large data around with a background in networking, flash drives, real time video compression, and scientific computing. I work with open source software stacks and have worn all of the hats associated with the software development life cycle.

I am looking for interesting projects at the lower levels of the software stack. Let me know if you want to build or productize an embedded rust platform, pure rust containers, C/C++/Yocto anything, commercialize 801.11ay, zero copy network drivers (io_uring for networking), or other similar low level infrastructure project. Anything in computational medicine would also be of interest.

> distributing the original image violates the non-commercial clause of the original images because someone, somewhere, might somehow have made money

I agree with the rest of your post, but this point seems a bit uncharitable.

I think the claims would be:

1. It's a breach of copyright for Megaface to share the images in any case without attribution & replicating the CC-NC license. It would (presumably) be OK assuming Megaface were to correctly apply the CC-NC licenses to the dataset.

2. It's a breach of copyright for anyone consuming Megaface (e.g. Google) to use those images for commercial purposes.

And your argument for SD applies to 2. that regardless of license, it's OK to create a transformative work. But it still doesn't get Megaface off the hook for 1. - distributing those images without the license.

Android is a lot more sandboxed than desktop OSes, where you already have this situation: All software that runs can access your keyfile (hypothetically). I wouldn't be to worried. They still need access to you kdbx file, your password, and know that your keyfile is a keyfile.

None of your bullet points are factual and pragmatic, they are all based on belief and ideology.

A counter, more positive take, is that if state schools actually pushed all pupils then the middle class wouldn't be looking for alternatives. The existence of private schools is not what creates the issues the state system suffers from, which is potentially lack of funding (but as per my previous comment, private schools actually help on that front) and but also too often a culture that does not promote effort and ambition (which is what those who choose private schools are after).

Education is first and foremost down to the parents and values learnt at home. The greatest filter is there and those who prioritise education will make their children succeed.

An anecdote: When my daughter was in (state) primary school she did not do that well in maths and was put in the lower set group. When we asked the school what they did in the lower set in order to push pupils up they effectively replied "nothing, we just sort pupils according to ability, some children are not very good at maths". So here you have it, they give up on 8 year old pupils. So we did what other parents do: additional private tuition (which the majority of families can actually afford) and ultimately the school self-congratulated themselves for moving our daughter to the top set because she improved so much. Obviously, we looked for alternatives for secondary school.

It's not a question of being 'rich', it's a question of priorities.

> To be clear, I'm not anti-ORM and use them all the time, but it really helps to understand SQL well when using them and to know when it's appropriate to switch to SQL.

When I did web development, I saw it as a "hack" and a "failure to write clean code" whenever I reached for raw SQL. This is of course not true at all, but it was a powerful psychological blocker and I'd spend too much time trying to figure how to get the ORM to do what I wanted instead of writing the SQL myself and moving on to the next problem.

1p is a fairly complicated UX that fails a lot. Sometimes password autofill shows up, sometimes it does not. If I bring up password autofill, sometimes it shows a list of 0 websites because I didn't use the website association thing when recording the password login, and often because it failed because the UI fails very easily if it doesn't go in it's happy path, or I press back, or the password was rejected, etc.

A lot of this is probably OS & browser vendor limitations, but it ends up with 1p being a power user only piece of software.
In the case I commented on they left a positive review. I'm sure many hosts will accept the Airbnb fees once to boost their rating. Especially if they're starting out, early reviews carry more weight.
> But how do you report wage theft in a way that the average police force can act on?

I follow what you are saying, and admit there's not an obvious easy answer. I'd also say that private security guards who roam the public streets (sometimes harassing law abiding people) are not the best answer to shoplifting.

Hmmm, thinking about this it doesn't seem right to leave wage theft as a civil matter - a lot of victims don't have the resources to engage a lawyer. Maybe we could do things so the deck is not so much stacked against them. More of a paper trail, like an employment contract specifying hours and wages and a paper trail of time sheets. Also making it much easier to report, and treating it as a criminal matter. We could if we wanted to, nothing is set in stone. Maybe also more investigators. Perhaps victims could submit audio and/or video evidence to government authorities. Why should law-abiding employers object to being taped, when they are happy to tape the public to catch shoplifters? It would be nice to figure out how to prevent the exploitation of vulnerable people. It's a lot of money to them.

I kind of threw my comment out there because I know that it burns when someone is victimized by theft, whether by a shoplifter or an employer, but there seems to be a lot more people are quick to be offended by shoplifters then when employers are doing the stealing. I didn't mean to mischaracterize your views on this.
We have the exact same idioms in French for the last two (battre le fer pendant qu'il est encore chaud, and revenir à nos moutons) !
I do somewhat agree, however the title is a bit misleading then IMHO. It's not so much a debloat as it is a how to make a very customized installation for your very specific environment.

Splitting hairs perhaps, but a lot of people don't/won't understand the difference - or why you did this.

Most non home users use Windows Enterprise and GPOs to achieve these results, where things are more fine tuned and can be reversed as needed.
Is there a site that lists every db in every category?

Like Timescale, Clickhouse for time series & Mongodb for documents etc
>>Maybe the same as when someone writes a bad check?

That does not happen, not at the level of say shoplifting or something

At most you can make a complaint, which will go to a prosecutor which will then decide if they want to file criminal charges, at which point the police would arrest someone. Which rarely happens for a single bad check. It is almost always CIVIL unless there is some other crime involved like identity theft, even then it would have to be wide scale

You know what, that is the same process for Wage Theft. You file a complaint with the dept of labor, the dept of labor will investigate and if the problem is wide scale they will issue fines or even criminal indictment if they view it as malicious

>Maybe also make wage theft easier to prove, with a required paper trail like an employment contract and signed time sheets, more investigators, etc.

The problem here is wage theft is not often as cut and dry as you make it out to be, most often is not an employer refusing to pay wages or writting a bad check for wages. It manifests as forcing an employee to work during their lunch or break, refusing to pay earned vacation time/PTO when someone quits, paying strait time instead of OT rates for Overtime, misidentifying an employee as exempt denying them OT, etc.

These are all things that are harder to prove and in some cases can be honest mistakes.

I agree. I often feel like I benefited by starting my web career pre-ORM and only learning to use them a few years in, so I can appreciate and use both. I sometimes wonder if it’s harder for new devs to acquire the same kind of experience.

If it’s a basic fact then surely there is literature that backs it up?
Huh. OK, that’s fair.

I guess a more precise phrasing would be: the relationship is indeed almost the same as far as the rules of engagement are concerned, but the default starting point is very different: with a conventional supplier you don’t (get to) start using their product in yours until after basic terms have been negotiated, almost necessarily including some kind of right to have the supplier fix their stuff if it’s broken in an obviously stupid way.

Open-source things, though, individual devs can and do just pick off the floor. (Not necessarily good from a security standpoint, but hinder that process too much and work slows down to an extent most businesses won’t be able to afford, much like with installing outside software.) Which means that if you find some in your codebase and treat the author as you would any baseline supplier[1], just because there’s no way you wouldn’t negotiated the corresponding terms, you rightly get called an arsehole. This pattern of problematic behaviour predates the “software supply chain” meme, I think, but the fact that the meme seems to justify it in the minds of some people is a reason to dislike this analogy. Even if, as I said before, the other, liability half of it is entirely true.

> frontend catches more shit because it's largely gotten worse at the same time as getting more complex.

The "microservices by fad" based architecture usually comes with a huge decrease in performance and an even large one in reliability. The NoSQL for no reason fad came with horrible performance and some very bad data losses. Every once in a while we get some data leakage story here, certainly many are due to complexity (but nobody can tell which ones).

Frontend is not alone suffering for the complexity.

Whoops! How stupid of me. This is Linux, I'm holding it wrong. Unplugging a screen from a sleeping Linux computer is not reasonable user behavior, so an unresponsive black screen it is.

Afaik, Hitler was instrumental in making Nazi party big and popular. They became big due to his speaking abilities. Antisemitism was widespread all around Europe. Germany was not the most antisemitic one - the Jews were running to Germany from Easter Europe.

The nazi party was not the only competitor for power and among those, it was only genocidal by ideology. Germany could end up as military dictatorship - there would be imperialism but it would not be the same. It could end up as actual democratic country too. But, the party that won were Nazi and there, Hitler was the one who made that party big.
