While you don't _need_ React (or a similar powerful library / framework), it takes one's productivity to a whole different level. I have a feeling that you have already made up your mind not to like it, but if you ever give i

For anyone wondering, it is enabled by default on Ubuntu too. I wonder what made someone think that this was a good idea?

It is still quite likely he won't be repeating the mistake though. Prison is something else than just money.

I hate SQLAlchemy and Alembic.* I still use them both, because they are at least some kind of standard and SQLAlchemy plays with FastAPI very nicely - and I love API input validation and docs for free. Don't get me wrong - it's ni

That was not my point. I also happen to agree with you - AGPL is "open source" under any definition I have encountered.

I didn't mean re-licensing it - the parts that are under MIT stay under MIT, but the patches on it have a different license. That is completely legal and license doesn't forbid this. (ianal, yadda yadda...) A similar thing happene

No - different processes were reading and writing. And once you implement a global map which is accessible from multiple processes, you might as well use an existing solution, like Redis. Or, as I've learned, pgSQL - which gave me the

That's what I meant by "no persistence needed". In both cases, I wasn't actually saving anything to disk. I needed an in-memory storage for a never-ending stream of incoming data that would be read (and purged) by a sepa

Even though OSI clearly defines what "open source" means, it is sometimes (often even?) used as a synonym for "source available", as opposed to "free software" (which is the term that FSF promotes). I'm no

I have a domain that would be great for an e-mail forwarding service, but I have second throughts about starting it... Is there someone here with experience in this area? What should the OP be most scared of?

Note that OP is actually generating loss at this point - 300 domains at $8 equals $2400, which is in itself bigger than the income. Can you maybe share what problems OP might have? I have toyed with an idea of starting something similar and

I had a project where I just needed to be saving a constant flow of data (id + 100 bytes records) somewhere, no persistence needed, no sharding (single machine) - but lots of it. I first turned to Redis and it worked nicely, but since I had

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you missed the point of the discussion? It is not connected to frontend at all. It talks about the difference between using an ORM versus constructing SQL statements directly, as strings. In that li

It's not that bad. I have used both and while I wouldn't choose MongoDB anymore, it did its job as needed. For me, the main problem with MongoDB is that it is "schemaless" - which doesn't mean that there is no sch

I agree with you about the tradeoffs and the importance of looking at the problem from all angles, but I would argues that this is clearly the case wher aesthetics won over usability, which should _never_ happen. It should be easy to visual

Are you saying you can actually read the air quality readings of other users? That's... quite an oversight. :-/

Note that GP stated they are "brainchild of cryptocurrencies". I don't think that the meaning you imply is what they had in mind.

Agree. And there are other questionable design choices in this project too. by pet-peeve is an omission of `.htaccess`-like mechanism. There is even a page they have dedicated to this [0], where instead of looking at their users' probl

Of course they are. They are written by people and often become standard because of good marketing instead of merit. However, I still find satisfaction in learning new things, trying to be better each day, overcoming new and more challengin

In practice though, unless you have some very specific needs (and the people I have met who thought that they did, well,... didn't :) ), you should still "just use CRA". There are folks who like to live on the bleeding edge,

So? Mozilla should still catch up (if/where needed) and surpass Google on all privacy fronts. The goal should be that Google can't track Firefox users in default configuration - rest assured, this will never happen with Chrome&#x2
