Yes, we are trying to move over to FastAPI, which looks reasonable, but I struggle with the fact that there is no one source of truth for models. Is there anywhere good to find out what I have been missing out on having not kept up to date

It just makes adding simple stuff so slow. Instead of a query, and and HTML template, you have a query built on top a shambles of a system that outputs JSON, passes it to another monstrosity that is our Dojo frontend. I have tried to create

Does anyone do server side rendering these days? I fail to see the point in SPA apps for the majority of web apps. At my work we have an ancient Dojo frontend and a newer react one being build. Its a few list views that the user can filter

Not going to claim I have any great knowledge on this at all, but I stuck a chunk of cash into a moderately low risk ETF 6 month ago. It's gone down relative to the cash that is still in the account.

Nah, it's been updated. It doesn't need to attack an antigen, just "produce an immune response". It doesn't matter if that immune response is for a virus that is long extinct, as long as the "vaccine" make

Society objectively degenerated since the start of the covid scam. To pretend otherwise in being willfully blind to the changes we saw. Unchecked authoritarianism in democratic countries. House arrest of healthy people. Telling people that

Why do we think emulating China is a good thing? The covid response showed that it was probably the worst possible thing to do.

I wouldn't say that is a silver lining, quite the opposite. A step toward a digital gulag.

How much does Oracle cost for something similar? It seems people are willing to pay money for something as crucial as a database if it works well.

The majority of relational databases scale far more than their users need. But somehow Mongo got popular enough that I am stuck with it at work.

Agreed, like the James Web telescope, a load of hype about the beautiful images and how much would be discovered as a result of it. Sure we will be able to see further into the universe, but I am still trying to work out what practical appl

OK, I have little doubt that many readers of HN could find something here, but I think that for the vast majority of people finding a blog post will be a lot easier than an HN post. Styling will be an obvious advantage, you will be able t

It's amazing how few people seemed to understand that NoSQL existed long before Mongo's marketing team cashed in on the trend. I was using various NoSQl solutions before they were trendy.

Science can't get a weather forecast accurate for more than a few days. What chance have they got about being right about the climate hysteria on a longer term? Why will a longer term prediction be be more accurate? They have had less

I look at it the other way, this is the least effort disk persistence that I have seen in python. A fair amount of dev stuff is reading from disk and putting it into some kind of object / dictionary format. I am not really bothered abo

I thought Perl's Tie::DB_file module was unique for that sort of thing. That's probably quite useful.

Name a blog post that has stuck with you because you learned something useful. Could you search for it and find it easily? Now do the same for an HN comment.

There are three things that have changed since the number of deaths went up in 2020. Covid, lockdowns and the associated harms and the vaccine. Now apparently covid deaths are down, yet excess deaths remain elevated. So the two obvious cha

We were talking about CFCs and how supposedly eliminating them (despite not actually eliminating them) fixed the supposed problem. It's a bit like claiming lockdowns flattened the covid curves, when the exact same flattening happened e

Can be seen in the European data. Excess mortality should be back to normal levels, but it's barely changed between 2020, 2021 and 2022. Worse, older people do seem to be doing better but younger age groups worse. https://ww

So you admit these things are hard to predict, yet we are running with the wild predictions anyway? Models are just a hypothesis and in no way proven. There were plenty of predictions to date that haven't come true. I see these as none

They are just making them up. At the end of the day there are way to many variables to accurately predict the climate. It's been a lot hotter in the past and a lot colder. I see no reason for the panic.

I miss perlmonks as well, now that I do mostly python. It was like stack overflow, except discussions were encouraged. It gave you far more understanding than copying a SO answer usually does.

Ask if they have any code that they would be willing to bring in and discuss.
