Anything with a DSL is evil. That's why I never liked Vue and don't understand its huge popularity - you get none of the functional benefits of React, you might get a minor speed increase, and you DO get to write code the old styl

Does SOLID align with functional programming? I've come to think that IOC/DI should almost be an anti pattern as it depends on interfaces and I've never seen anything use it that wasn't abstraction hell. Functional progr

Agreed. Adherence to dogma like this is cancer. i was rejected rom a pretty big company after clearing other stages because I wasn't able to recite SOLID. Its like asking people if they know 'design patterns' and expecting th

We all know the cliches - that millennials are lazy, entitled etc. Whether true or not (there is definitely some degree of truth in any cliche), one thing is for sure - they didn't vote and as a result we have Trump and Brexit, and all

Its ironic that with literally all of human knowledge a google search away, people still don't do basic research and will ask questions online which can all be answered with a lmgtfy link. I don't mean the search results that poin

CBP/TSA/DHS are thugs who have virtually unlimited power, zero accountability, and relish the chance to abuse their power. Its no different from cops celebrating killing innocent people. The US media is a joke, they drump up fear

> The certification requirements The 737 is self certified by Boeing, which is really a joke. Basically a Boeing engineer can sign off and say LGTM with no oversight or independent audit as I understand.

The simple fact is that if either of these were true - - a US airline was involved in the accident, esp on US soil - a non-US company was the manufacturer then the FAA would've grounded the plane almost immediately instead of publicly

IIRC FAA didnt ground the plane. Trump issued an order and FAA were forced to do it.

Some counterpoints - - Crostini is only for a limited set of Chromebooks. I have an Acer 15 with Intel Broadwell, which is extremely powerful and not that old, but Google won't support it for whatever insane reason they might have - Ch

In my experience in the US you are much more likely to be 'sold' on unneeded medication and services vs getting an accurate meaningful diagnosis and course of treatment, when it comes to a whole host of problems but esp w.r.t phys

It is pretty ironic and sad that following a healthy diet, including CR, is much harder in Western nations and esp in the US. - Processed food costs less than fresh food. - Multiple generations of people have been conditioned to eat process

What about the many sites who legitimately exist only due to minimal ad revenue, and don't abuse ads, allow malware etc? I'm all for supporting them. Its the sites that pose an actual threat or whose ad:content ration is something

Issues with GraphQL - - the GQL server in practice is still going to have fixed contracts/endpoints, because arbitrary queries are a risk. This is what FB recommends as well - there is no help in actually implementing the server end to

So in other words, American kids and millenials are lazy, delusional, don't want to work hard and want all the glamor with none of the work. Is this really news?

This sort of thing is becoming the norm, and will become the norm with IoT. When every device is connected and has a computer, it can and will have the ability to be locked down, intercepted and monitored remotely. People don't know or

This country has gone mad. The Trump supporters will justify and applaud everything he does while he burns down the world. Why even pretend we have a democracy anymore? Trump and his WH are busy eroding and suprressing every form of free sp

Most people in this country are idiots, and celebrate idiocy. People in Asia/Europe still read newspapers and news is still news, not sensationalist media garbage like here with barely any mention of the rest of the world.

Imdb also 'copied' all your posts, right? How is this any different?

by dirkg 10y ago
DynamoDB isn't the same thing at all, its very limited and you need to use it in very specific ways. You certainly can't just use your current MongoDb data with it.

Never looked at DocumentDB before. So if I get this straight, I can get a fully managed DB that can scale easily, but still have all the advantages and compatibility of a regular NoSQL like Mongo? I think that's a first, right?

Thank you!! To my knowledge this is the only instance someone has managed to scrape the Imdb boards, very curious how you managed that. I really hope you get a sponsor/donations. This needs to be promoted to other sites/social med

Good in principle, will cause hardships for many in practice. There are probably millions of street vendors who rely on plastic to pack food to go, as well as many other shops of course. There are many other priorities to focus on which can

I see many people say that Mongo is unfot for a production db, but it is actually used in production by many companies. Obviously this is true of many products, but how serious is it in practice? The criteria for 'good enough' can

This is great news! Rethink is NoSql DB done properly, I know many others such as Cassandra often get mentioned as alternatives to Mongo but they aren't really. I just hope the rigor and correctness that have characterized RethinkDB c

This is not surprising at all. Our govt is now very firmly anti-consumer, anti-poor/middle class, anti-public service, and things will only get worse. Meanwhile the rest of the world gets free public health, close to free Internet acce

What does this mean for Fi users? I guess someone inside Google must have a soft spot for Voice, neglecting an app for 5 years and then resurrecting it is very unGoogly.
