I'm a current ORM user, specifically Prisma. And it's nice that it gives me type checking but the CRUD actions and the programmatic interface are not the real reason I use it. I use it as a tool for declarative schema management,

The problem is not fentanyl prescriptions, it's fentanyl being slipped into other drugs. I imagine for a drug user this could be a life saver.

San Francisco is not the only major city that suffered a pandemic. Why did people decide to leave San Francisco at much higher rates than any other major city? The pandemic is what catalyzed the event by giving people the ability to move. B

The complexity exposed by Rust is overwhelming for people that haven't done any low level programming. It's not just lifetimes, a basic Rust function can expose the ideas of exclusive and non-exclusive ownership, traits, generics

I consider footguns to be things that cause me to waste a ton of effort and build architecturally unsound code. The things in the article are actually just basic language concepts you need to understand to be productive. So to use the foot

The book "Programming Rust" (very good book btw) only mentions iter() and iter_mut() briefly and focuses on into_iter because the IntoIterator trait only implements into_iter. You can replicate iter() with `(&x).into_iter()` a

I'll share an architectural pattern from Rust that is pretty ubiquitous but not really mentioned in the official books. Skip the whole weak rc nonsense and jump directly to using an allocator (like slotmap) when dealing with cyclic dat

Nothing's perfect and often when there are platform inconsistencies like that someone abstracts the functionality away in a package so the application developer doesn't need to worry about it. I'd rather have 80% code sharing

Ok, you decouple UI from business logic, have some state machine written in language X let's say that can compile ios, android, and wasm and allows for interop with the kotlin, swift, and js. Even then, the view code is often the most

The abstraction doesn't have to be perfect. Most apps don't even take advantage of native platform functionality.

I was just using the original poster's language when I was referring to "shitty inefficient software". I'll say it does bother me that we are standardizing on typescript with react being the default for cross platform de

Get ready for AR apps written in react native. The reason we have shitty inefficient software is because Apple, Google, and Microsoft haven't standardized on a performant cross platform framework other than the browser. Don't blam

The battery life is amazing. But just as amazing is that my hands don't sweat when using my laptop anymore because it doesn't get anywhere near as hot as other laptops when under load.

Other companies haven't even figured out how to get a trackpad as good as Apple's. If they can't even get the trackpad right there's no hope.

But this isn't marketing, it's a review with battery life benchmarks with a variety of scenarios...

I just pay apple for insurance and they replace my battery at no additional cost. And if I ever spill water on the laptop or damage it in any other way that's my fault they replace it for a fraction of the actual cost of the thing.

What about a dating site that only charges the user once they stop visiting the site? Put some ads on it too so that if people try to game the system by visiting it often they get money from ad impressions.

Pornographic content is too accessible. It's impossible for the parents to police this, there will always be one kid with negligent parents that will expose other children to this crap. We are talking 10 year olds here, it's alrea

I agree with you. I think the response you are getting is from people that have not seen how kids are being exposed to porn at younger and younger ages. We are doing an insane social experiment on the next generation because this kind of ac

I don't know about the implementation here but it's too easy for young people to access pornography. I know teachers and I hear horror stories of 10 year old boys being caught in the bathroom watching elderly porn. It just seems i
