Interesting. How does server side validation and access control work with this?

You say things like "X is pretty dumb" and then go on saying stuff I don't understand. Pretty annoying if you ask me. And that's despite me having worked with Cassandra, Kafka, Postgres and a variety of programming langu

Do you know that "Helm" is a German word for "helmet"? That's what happens when you name a project after a dictionary word.

That's not at all common sense. People that use multiple devices may want to put everything in the cloud service so as to access the same version on all devices.

Adding more clean energy will not stop fossil fuel, history thas shown that energy sources stack on top of each other, they do not replace each other.

I have noticed absolutely no difference with Twitter/X. I am a casual user, sure, but for me it seems to work well.

It seems you want to keep asking the same questions over and over phrased differently and in a way that tries to discredit me or make me sound dumb, so forgive me but this discussion has now reached its end.

It's all related. High tech has a lot of negative impacts which are rarely if ever evaluated and more importantly compensated. The reason is they bring in money. The entire supply chain and lifecycle of a product should be evaluated to

Lithium extraction is also very bad for the environment. Requires insane amounts of water, requires often times destroying forests or other natural areas that are on top of lithium, etc. Sure I use lithium ion batteries too, in the develope

But building it as we currently are is directly putting them at risk of poisoning, dying buried alive when their cobalt mining tunnels collapse, etc.

That's where we disagree then. I think people do have a responsibility and in a democratic state, government can only be as good as the people it governs.

This had nothing to do with conservative talking points. It has to do with current capitalism always looking for money but letting the real societal issues ongoing because fixing them doesn't pay enough dividends. Simplified, with curr

I fail to see how Tesla fixes an "important problem". They're big electric SUV with huge batteries that require tons of mining and destroy the environment. They're largely non repairable. The full self driving feature se

Unfortunately we use all that technology on devices that are built with metals mined by kids in Congo and similar states. Talk about quality of life.

I don't know which country you're in, but in France we have quite strict rules as to how some clauses must be structured in a work contract to be valid. For instance an non compete clause which is not limited to a certain geograph

by frenchman99 3y ago
Not necessarily. I recently reviewed a french work contract that included weird clauses. But after looking at the case law, it turns out they are illegal and thus void anyway if taken to court. In that case, there is no need to spend energy

In France, women get 10 weeks & men get 4 weeks paid leave.

I do sometimes, when the source is trustworthy.

by frenchman99 3y ago
You're totally right, it's just as bad, maybe even worse because build tools sometimes ask for admin permissions. People should ideally really on some kind of reputation system or get software from trusted vendors.

Encouraging users to run some random binary from GitHub is a really good way to spread all kinds of viruses. People should only run binaries from trusted sources.

If we're talking about the USA, the USA is one the developed countries with most inequality, both income and capital. Way more than in France anyway, where I live. Even though USA has way lower tax rates than France (about 30/35%

That's if you have enough salary to save enough for retirement. Which is not the case for a lot of people unfortunately. Hence a government lead system where wealthy people are required to pay more to help less wealthy have a somewhat

Don't know about the US, but I live in a 300K inhabitants city in France, we fetch everything on a bicycle and have heavier items delivered for 10€ which is much cheaper than having our own car, factoring in maintenance, insurance, etc

ThinkPad Keyboards are generally waterproof. The framework keyboard is not. And it has no red mouse dot. However it feels nice and is even easier to replace than the Thinkpad one if needed. Replaced my Thinkpad with a framework a few months

People here say that this doesn't secure anything. But in addition to encryption by default, AWS announced they will as of April 2023 enforce secure S3 configuration (no public access) by default. So things are definitely getting bette

If data centers have to temporarily shut down due electricity shortage, people won't have a choice but endure the latency.
