I’m not sure I agree. I have provided GDPR consulting in the UK over the last three years. What exactly do you think was a violation?

They are. They might lose some users this way. They would definitely lose some users the other way though. I suppose it must seem pretty strange to see a programming language built on a set of technical values, instead of trying to find the

What you said sounds exactly like they want the “maintainers” to do something. But I understand how it can sound like that if you’re part of the demographic I’m talking about.

The former. Events might come minutes apart, and session establishment costs peanuts compared to having a TCP port open for minutes.

Cool. What cpu/ram did you make your timings on? I think the author of the okon benchmarks was using a i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 16GB RAM How long did the import take you?

Yes! "databases" are all overrated too. Slow expensive pieces of shit. No way you could do 50 billion inserts from Python to SQL server on a single core in a day! I'm so glad k isn't a "database" like that.
