The article says "Shift logic to the application level to reduce database load." (Emphasis mine.) It may have been edited since you commented (perhaps because of your comment), but it seems like they aren't actually advocat

The rule of thumb is put ifs and fors where they belong -- no higher or lower. And if you're not sure, think about a little more. I don't think these rules are really that useful. I think this is a better variation: as you write i

I’m disappointed, but not really surprised I guess, with how poorly so many programmers seem to understand what chatgpt is and does. It’s great and amazing tech, but it’s very much a kind of search engine, and indeed, writes just the kind o

Consider the approach this article suggests. You want to have the tags and content appear in the web component (not rendered by JS) which makes it easily and immediately available to crawlers.

These seems quite illogical to me. If there was no 8GB option, the price of the base model would be higher -- going by the comments, apparently $200 higher. That would kind of screw over the people who don't open 20 Lightroom tabs or s

This is a fascinating psychological phenomenon: People can get absolutely furious when something is offered for sale that they don't personally want to buy. To me this attitude is bizarre, but apparently this is mortally offensive to s

Please don't try to force your own personal preferences on everyone else in the entire world. Why don't you buy a phone that has a user-replaceable battery, if that's what you want, and let me buy the phone I want to buy?

Exactly! That, and it was obscure how it could be fully disabled.

How many ads will there be, though? Also, ads aren't paying everyone's bills -- hence the paywalls -- so that number must be too low. (Not to mention the other issue with this: in general it's not ads or micropayments/

One reason: it wouldn't be a penny. You're off by a factor of probably 100.

I'm heartened by the success of the Typescript model of improving things when there's a deficiency/problem. The alternate approach (which is extremely popular unfortunately), is to throw it all out and rebuild everything from

by jmull 3y ago
You heard wrong. The only way typescript is going away is if JS essentially incorporates it. The only things people don't like about it is that you need some tooling and a build step. However, with its popularity, ts is built in to a l

Dollars are never unlimited though, so you can't just add more chips/chiplets/cores.

It seems like the M3 favors efficiency and thermals over raw power. This makes sense for the devices they've put it in. I wonder if we're going to see different processors (M3X or M4) for the next release of the pro desktops, that

Pretty much the entire second half of the article addresses this directly. Or find a way to watch that segment of the documentary. Those few lines of the narration don't really capture the narrative of the visual story-telling. (Though

There are a bunch of bad rules here... Rule 1 - "DO use plural nouns for collections" - is an entirely arbitrary opinion. Rule 2 - "DON'T add unnecessary path segments" - I agree with the rule, but the examples are

A type system like what a programming languages have doesn't make sense for databases. For inserts, sure (but then, it's straightforward to use the host language for that). But once you move beyond simple cases, data changes over

They should allow different engines, but this isn't a reason. Different browsers have different vulnerabilities, but aren't substantially more secure as far as I'm aware.

I'm not sure there's much of a reason to distinguish these cases from caching. You're still designing the system the same way... your main considerations are still, "why/how is it OK if this thing is reset/clea

What is the value proposition of this over npm? (I last looked at this closely way back... back then it solved problems I didn't have and didn't solve the problems I did have.)

The entire point of the article is about taxing the wealth of extremely rich people rather than income because the wealth is structured to not generate taxable income. I think there are two considerations here: (1) fairness, (2) good econ

Shows with big ratings get lee-way, shows with poor ratings don't. I don't know if there's a definitive way to tell, but it sounds like "The Problem" probably had dismal viewership.

I'm wondering what the business model is exactly. Or rather what it will become once the VCs who are paying for all this start the squeeze. I'd be nervous about getting in too deep with tools from a company with what looks to me l

Are there fewer C programmers than their used to be? Are they getting generally dumber for some reason? I get that younger devs often don't have the low-level background older devs necessarily have, but all of the useful skills are lea
