They sure do. I've written clients for services that have been autogenned from a database like this, and experienced pain repeatedly because every change they make breaks their API. At least this product realises that and attempts to d

Interesting. So instead of having a full copy of the database in each schema you would only create the delta and then simulate the rest with views? And then creating a bar with version 1 to 7 would use the views in each schema to insert it,

by dyadic 12y ago
The version numbers are tied to the schema. So if you have two resources, foo and bar, then they're both at version 1. You create a new schema called "2", change the foo table and release it. As a side effect you also have tw

It's interesting that it can handle versioning, and could be something to look into. But generally, DO NOT tie your external APIs to your data model unless you can can commit to never changing them. (hint: you can't). --- Edit: Th

I don't know. I'm not from here, just living here for a few months. But I'd say none of the above. The country is huge and could easily cover more than one timezone, I'd hazard a guess at political reasons based on that,

Perhaps I should have expanded on why writing a spoken language as IPA is a bad idea. Language is fluid and always changing, if you start to spell words using the IPA then you need variations for every different accent and you need to updat

I see a lot of misappropriation of terminology (in this case, "reactive") in libraries and documentation. But unfortunately this is something that has been going on for a long time and it's an impossible task to stop and, che

I find the legal culpability of this fascinating. Right now it is an extremely concrete example, and really easy to say that the originator of the bot is at blame and should be prosecuted for buying illegal items. But, how advanced does a b

Both. Each has their strong point, I usually divide them into: * Directed learning by reading. * Undirected learning by videos. That is, if I know what I want to learn then I can usually go straight to it in books. If I just have a general

I use Self Control occasionally, but it does sometimes block things that are not on the blacklist†. I hit this problem once. I was working on integrating some software with a public API when Self Control blocked access to the same API. Fort

For sure. Point 3, I think they already have covered. I think it's pretty safe to say that the BBC is a well known and established brand, and also a producer of high quality content. The best way to look at it now is that they're

There are two sides to the scourge. WRT the BBC, they produce quality content, partly funded by us Brits and partly funded by exporting the content to other countries. With the internet they have limited choices: * Keep things off the inter

There are a few people here commenting about how their employer's unlimited vacation policy allows them to take two weeks vacation and then work remotely for a week or two extra. That's great, and it's good to see companies a

I realise it wasn't your main point, but can we stop with this trope of remote work being like a holiday or somehow worth less than in-office work.

I suspect you're right. I'm going to continue with Go for a little while longer to give it a real chance, there are a few things I like about it such as the dependency management and the lightning fast compilation so there's

I disagree, and saying "That is the way it is done in C" doesn't mean that it's the right way. When I see code like this I will assume that it's going to check every condition: if !complete { &

It really pains me to be critical of what is a good thing, but I do wish that they would hire a designer for their website. There seems to be a rejection of design in OSS (less so these days, I admit). I really like the idea of judging soft
