Besides what others have said about missing subtleties with nested transactions, CRDB adds an extra level of complexity. Transactions for CRDB must sometimes be restarted client side on a certain error type to resolve concurrency issues. Th

There's only one way to do integration tests with DBs right, use a real instance of the DB. If you need to speed up the setup/teardown process, so be it. If you need to fashion your tests to avoid uniqueness constraints, so be it.

Nobody expects that. It has become unfortunate that if you are not in favor for the GDPR as implemented, you must be against its principles and in favor of privacy-violating companies.

That's not a reasonable approach to public awareness IMO. "Forcing" these private companies to do this and that is only going to result in it being done in the least meaningful way possible. It doesn't matter whether it&

I'm not convinced public awareness campaigns and various support for alternatives were reasonably tried. Also, the firmness of one's stance isn't in its words.

Exactly, the focus should be on avoiding what the user doesn't like, not just avoiding what the user doesn't like if there's a choice involved. If the Apple-made tool referenced in the article were subject to the same choice

One wonders, once it is GA, if there is value in a Go transpiler. There is a lot of useful software in Go land that would be immediately useful for Crystal devs, and Go itself is not too complicated to map to another language with the same

It appears that before you could have a subscription outside the store. Now you cannot, and Apple picks and chooses favorites (e.g. Basecamp and Netflix can have out-of-store subscriptions, but this new app cannot).
