As a sort of challenge I had an idea of building an app using SQL as a pseudo ECS system where every table was either a 1 column table with only an id or a 2 column table with an id and a value.

To an extent I think that the outrage over redis new licence was excessive, this based on two (I think true) facts: 1. The new limitations had a temporal limitation of two years since release, that is every commit/release would automat

The problem with trains in Germany is not high tech automation it is the aggressive cost-cutting that removed a lot of redundancy and stability, so now it is a worse service in quality and reliability

We correctly expected future governments to occasionally want to get rid of undesirable ethic groups and created a definition that would leave them a few loopholes as possible. If genocide was "kill more than half of a population"

This take is only possible if you trust anything Tel Aviv says with no fact checking Israel is: - blockading humanitarian aid - targeting UN and aid workers (more that half of all deaths of UN personnel in war zones happened in Gaza in the

At some point IRA stopped bombing the UK, was it because the UK destroyed Ireland or was it through compromise? (With also the bonus analogy of: would it have helped if the RAF had bombed Dublin during talks?)

> The initial response to Oct7 was justified but not complete destruction of Gaza. Technically Israel is an occupying power so under intentional law it does not have a right of retaliation against its occupied territories.

I'm almost sure that every year since 1948 Israel has killed more Palestinians than Palestine has killed Israelis. Even if you compare only Israeli air strikes and all Israeli casualties from Palestine. So I'm not sure who was ter

This is seeing the morality of the situation upside down: Committing genocide is bad, whether it's by your enemy, ally, or you own does not change that. If you allow I would like to rephrase your conclusion differently > The Nazis

Genocide as defined in international law is very broad, it also includes cases where 0 people are killed: - displacing a group in a wider region to try and dilute the ethnicity/culture is genocide - trying to increase infertility in a

Gaza was already starving before the war (Israel counted calories to deter stockpiling) and there is nowhere that is away from the "front". Together with the deduction of almost every hospital I would expect indirect deaths to be

My personal gripe with OAuth is that the simple case can be implemented with like 2 redirects and 2 curls, but docs are often incomprehensibly complicated by dozens of layers of abstractions, services, extensions, enterprise account manage

Sure but you are allowed to put the 99% front and center in marketing. A good chunk of the other 1% are square-peg-in-round-home situations. It is good to support all the various edge cases but it is also on 6 to focus on the happy path

One big selling point of passkeys is that almost every workaround is impossible, whether that is good security or bad UX or both seems to be under discussion

I believe that the crux of it is that password managers with autocomplete already have about the same level of protection and are both more flexible and have less lock-in passkeys imho are being pushed because: 1) a lot of people will not u

This ignores that most password managers check domains/origins the same way browsers do. the only difference is maybe in-app browser where the passkey integration might work more easily but even so: 1) it is still a matter of integrati

I think that it is more about working around limitations, a TOS saying "I can do whatever I want, you cannot" might not hold on the basis of being too general, so you list all the areas where you can do whatever you want. Also if

Forbidding users to use your service to propagate "litte bobby tables" pseudo-pranks is likely a good choice. The choice is different if like most apps you are almost only a data sink, but if you are also a data source for others
