The spec is open and not that hard to implement should it become necessary. I'd say that the vendor lock-in is lot lower than with your typical open-source large dependency like React or Spring, and people are generally happy to accept

I basically disagree with all of these. Graphql isn't that complex, not more complex than the widely accepted SQL schema + query. Tooling is top-notch (Graphql-codegen, Apollo, Postman, Graphql playground), and is quite easy to use. Ju

How it that relevant? Just as a music shop selling CDs cannot fix that a lot of their royalties (purchase price) don't go directly to artists and music labels skim a lot, Spotify cannot fix this. In fact, Spotify has improved this situ

> Only if you assume that people with lots of hours listen to the same mix of artists as people with few to medium hours. That's the big assumption, which is most likely false. Even though it's not allowed, entities like gyms o

> Then again, given that Spotify’s annual revenues were last put at nearly £7bn while the per-stream rate it pays to artists is currently reckoned to be around 0.35p This is quite disingenuous. Spotify pays out about 75% [1] of their rev

I believe most EU countries aren't that interested in that information. It's mainly because of the unique policy of the US that you have to pay taxes as a citizen no matter where you live and work. Afaik all EU countries have th

What self-driving cars do is closer to something an animal like a deer does, not something a bacterium does. And you'd generally say a deer uses some intelligence while moving.

I don't see how this is relevant. Computers in the 1970 had no situational awareness about people interviewing for jobs. So yes, that software might be crap, it still has infinitely more awareness.

Holland introduced a nationwide RFID based public transport pass ~13 years ago. It had similar problems, probably mostly caused by incompetence, e.g. it was all based on an expensive, obsolete and insecure "Mifare Classic" RFID ch

It's been 5+ years since I've last used SpamAssassin, but at that time it didn't hold a candle to Gmail's spam filtering. Also you're incredibly alienated if you think a "normal person" could manage their

What you're saying is not entirely false, but it is naive at best. Ireland, the Netherlands & co are fully aware of these tax loopholes, even if we give them the benefit of the doubt that they were not originally intentional. They

Afaik what lets encrypt did is not a "hack" and perfectly valid. It sounds like users who have FIPS requirement need to fix it for their won use-case since its a bug in what they use and already fixed for everyone else.

widening the canal has numerous benefits. Eyeballing it I think they chose this size so the current largest ships allowed (Suezmax) can pass each other with the additional width, allowing for 2-way traffic. The accident is probably just a n

Scala 3 isn't such a language, most of the stuff people use is still there. The biggest change touching your comment is replacing one feature (implicits) with a couple more tailored features (extension methods, conversions and context

If it's a small part of your system take that one that integrates best: JS => Purescript, JVM => Scala, .NET => F# etc. I wouldn't call Scala3 quite "start-a-project-with-it" ready because the ecosystem will nee

I played with it a bit because I really like TS's union, literal types and smart-casting, unfortunately it doesn't seem quite there yet and I found it only usable for T | null types. Syntax is all there so maybe it'll get bet

Those are bytecode level related. You can't consume Java 16 libraries on Android either. It's not related to Kotlin at all. You are either being deliberately obtuse or you genuinely have difficulty to understand that Java version,
