I understand your design (and yes, it would work for the simple cases). Even then, it all still boils down to whether you want the overhead of extra computations for every write to get a [lower,upper] bound on the size of what every folde

Of course the city is interested in getting a (larger) cut of the money. However, the Sagrada Familia is already a massive benefit for the city due to the visitors it attracts. Its administrators could've just raised the middle finger

This is not necessarily the opposite. It is perfectly possible that the knowledgeable people you've worked with actually wanted to pass it on. They just weren't given the time to do it. You should be angry about overtight deadline

There is one major difference: an abandoned external package may break with newer python versions, whereas you can always count on stdlib packages being updated for new versions.

It wasn't my question, but I would assume the caveat they were complaining about is that prisma forced them to perform the join when filtering the original table by just the foreign key (think select * from books where author_id = ? ..

What I'm missing in this discussion is that, from my personal experience, people who are very result-oriented hardly ever write correct code. They tend to leave a trail of subtle, hard to find bugs (because foreseeing edge cases is o

So... the report says 0 spanish websites were found having trackers. I've tried 3 random links of said websites, all taken from the report [1-3]. Ublock detected and blocked google analytics in all of them ([1] has urchin.js too). [1]

I know that is the reason. I strongly disagree in that qualifying as a necessary thing to do. If that was accepted as necessary data collection, GDPR wouldn't have made any fuss whatsoever: big techs would keep collecting all t

I didn't think this was a controversial assertion. Most big techs have been collecting plenty of information that is non-essential for their functions. For instance, you must have an apple account (that includes your personal details)

RMS thinks that free hardware is a different matter than free software, on the basis that software is easily copyable but hardware is not. If a piece of hardware contains unmodifiable software, RMS considers it an "integral part of the

By RMS's standard, it seems that it is ok to reuse old systems (irrespective of which company built them originally) provided you can use them without binary blobs (irreplaceable built-in no-source firmware is fine though). Quoting his

The question explicitly stated that booting another os wasn't an option, so you are right in this case. However, you should avoid being in that situation entirely, which is nowadays very feasible: all modern servers include remote mana

You can remount the root filesystem elsewhere, but not unmount it while it is still the rootfs. Your suggestion would work but it involves restarting nearly everything and having another partition with enough space to copy everything into.

This is a fun experiment, but I cannot see the long-term advantage of what you are doing vs VNC (or similar) on the web. I'm pretty sure it would take less effort and give better results if you just hooked the viewer to something like

The benefits we want to obtain from building distributed systems are: 1) Increased availability 2) Ability to scale (better throughput) 3) Lower latency (get the data closer to the client) As you said, WAL + Consensus solves the consistency

Well, this has been a surprise for me. I must concede that Webflow feels much better than GrapesJS, both in general polish and in functionality. I do see a class of power users (agencies, designers) using that now. Let's hope that Grap
