This reminds of the joke about how the ethical programmer cannot write a function to nuke a particular city, instead they write a function that takes the city as a parameter. > It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engine

Go or any language that actually gets compiled down to machine code to get executed directly on the hardware, and where libraries are compiled into the final product. When I say something is a library function, I mean you just compile it in

You can always put an LRU cache between you and SQLite. I personally moved from SQLite to a B-Tree based key-value store, and most requests can be serviced in ~500us (that is microseconds). I don't mean a request to the database: I mea

What about any of this prohibits it from being a library? https://lucene.apache.org/core/ This is the Java library that ES is based on. Without even having to look at it I can make the following judgement: It should be

It can. You don't even need to go all the way to Rust. I'm doing it with Go, which has a GC and a runtime. A single executable on a single machine can handle millions of users per month.

It's way too complicated. But if this is all you have ever seen and if you've been designing such systems for a decade, this seems like normal to you. Here's an alternative stack that can handle over 99% of websites: - Self c

This is very common in almost all web companies since around 2015. I've never seen a company with a simple infrastructure, no matter how simple their actual application actually is. If you choose a slow dynamic language (Ruby/Pyth

This is only true of the websites made by big established companies. A lot of startups follow the general trend of using large fonts and empty spaces. Examples: https://tunagate.com/ https://paypay.ne.jp/

That's another discussion though. The topic at hand is someone who has a country and had an opportunity to work in another country is complaining that they have to go back to their home country because the work visa is not a permanent

By your characterization of the problem, the solution would seem to be to abolish work visas all together, and not allow any foriegners to stay for mere work.

There's no hate. There's no paternal love either, nor a need for one. It's a completely neutral event that requires no emotional reaction. Imagine it happened to my sister. So what? Are you expecting me to get emotional or an

Hopefully that does not change in the future. If anyone could just go anywhere that would be a terrible dystopian future.

You could argue that even your country doesn't owe you anything merely for existing. You have responsibilities, not just rights. But for the purpose of this discussion, I'm assuming a person already has a country they belong to wh

No country other than your country of origin owes you a right to stay. It's not inhumane or something to have visa only for work and not for indefinite residency. If the work visa was defacto a permanent residency visa, no one would gi

Really hard to take seriously. The writing on the homepage looks so generic it could have been generated by ChatGPT. The example code on the homepage - after lots of talking and babbling - is just one line to print some text.
