Every ORM is bad. Especially the "any DB" ORMs. Because they trick you into thinking about your data patterns in terms of writing application code, instead of writing code for the database. And most of the time their features a

I think latency sensitive applications will usually prefer better performance and deal with safety issues, as opposed to better safety and deal with performance issues. So I doubt it's any religious thing between c and Rust.

We're seeing a convergence of document DBs adding relational features, and relational DBs adding document features. At this point I find the best of both worlds to simply be PG with JSONB. create table document ( id uuid pr

Memory safety is strictly a good thing, regardless of motivations. But I'm aware that some people are frightened of new languages and paradigms especially if they're 'harder' than what they're used to.

We went back to just packaging debs and running them directly on ec2 instances with systemd. no more containers. Put the instances in an autoscaling group with an ALB. A simple ansible-pull installs the debs on-boot. really raw-dogging i

I guess you can claim that the 3rd-largest agriculture import source is "not much" if it is making you feel better about something. But I think that even the EU bureaucrats themselves would recognize that it is a very significant

Was just commenting on the blanket claim that EU "doesn't allow" much ag import from the US, which is plainly wrong.

There's a weird nuance to this just because algorithmically PageRank itself was even somewhat anti-competitive. "This page has fewer links to it than others, therefore it will be buried in search results" I think most people

Not arguing that it's still too soon. The anti-trust litagations are obviously underway. But the EU themselves only started cracking down within the last decade, which is still relatively recent.

If we're talking about commercial desktop products, is it really a majority? Canonical is UK-based. I can think of Suse but even that changed hands several times through a bunch of US companies. Red Hat/Fedora, PopOS, Chrome OS et

Any reasonably sophisticated web browser is going to require a decent amount of unsafe {} if only just for performance reasons. Obviously would be much easier to audit though.

The US has no problem with regulating its industries. It just doesn't do it pre-emptively out of fear the way the EU does. It actually lets business develop before assessing any damages.

Django is the closest I can think of. Many unicorns built on Django. Both Rails and Django are horribly slow though, so once you get to some critical scale you gotta start doing some real weird stuff like Instagram did with turning off Pyt

Rust is very easy when you want to do easy things. You can actually just completely avoid the borrow-checker altogether if you want to. Just .clone(), or Arc/Mutex. It's what all the other languages (like Go or Java) are doing any

I would like for artisan, indie developers to be able to sustain some kind of a living off their work instead of being forced to work at a soul-sucking faang optimizing ad clicks because their hobby projects can't pay any bills.
