It's all about trade-offs. Sadly the package deals keep getting worse and even if you refuse to buy, one shows up at your doorstep and they charge you anyways. The parties exist more to oppose each other than to identify and address is

The benefit is that you get to use a web-framework to write your UI... The trade-off is that the world gets another app that probably could have been a website.

I will not install your app, but I will silently stop using your service. If I'm installing an app then it should presumably offer me some functionality offline, because if I'm online then I can go to your website.

Bummer because I want a small phone, but it sounds like my phone of the future may be a laptop.

Preach. Architects need to get back to base principles, stop reading so many blog posts, start writing more code, and actually try things for themselves. Almost every system I work on is architecturally obese and while it "could scale&

Here is something I find quite funny, when I search multithreading vs multiprocessing on google I get the following AI response: [Multithreading] Cons: A single thread crash can bring down the entire process. Not ideal for CP

> the amount of memory that gets copied is miniscule per process This is what is not always true. Sometimes you have a processing context that is GB in size, in which case scaling via multiple processes is not as simple as if you had acc

I think HATEOAS doesn't get enough love. It's really convenient if you can stomach the extra data in your responses.

You appear to have been traumatized by Java... You can sub in any statically typed, compiled language. The key distinction between multiprocessing and multithreading is that in multithreading all the threads of a process share the same memo

Sure, there's multiprocessing, but historically no multithreading (relatively recently there is the free-threading interpreter). Each of those processes / threads will also execute slowly compared to most other languages. But we a

Why are we not avoiding apps and app stores altogether? I understand the desire to tap the captive audience, but we're teaching people that the only software worth running is found in the app store and runs on your phone. Make a web ve

I'm glad to see people recognizing that computers are quite fast and that they don't need massive cloud-scale solutions for simple problems. That being said, Python really shines as glue code and in small scripts where performance

It remains solidly among the slowest languages you could choose. Consider your use case and the trade-offs wisely.

This has always confused me... is Python really that much better at rapid dev? I work on a Python project and every day I wish the people that started the project had chosen a different language that actually scaled well with the problem ra

The humorous thing to me is how keenly aware of performance issues w/ Python the community is, but they continue to trudge along with it and develop tooling to support their Python efforts in other languages (C, Rust, Java, etc.) inste

I didn't give any reasons it can't be fixed. Of course it can be fixed. I just don't really expect them to fix it. It's been decades and they still can't get it done.

Lost me with the initial observation... it seems that merely being "AI art" is paramount to any feeling the art could evoke. To the author, just knowing that the art is AI generated is "gross". I feel like this bias is a

I'd be very surprised if this ever gets fixed. I think it's more likely that people just increasingly communicate through different channels as our "phones" become less and less useful as phones. The only people that I r

SUVs and crossovers actually tend to have less useable interior area than vans or station wagons. Another advantage of vans and station wagons is that they're built on chassis similar to sedans which allow you to maintain a low center

Bsky was born out of political schism... It exists mostly for discussing politics with other people that already agree with you.

Strong disagree on crossovers providing the "best combination of the three." People seem to think this, assuming that their purchases are influenced by thought... But based on my observations (and physics); Sedans, coupes, or anyt

That's awesome. By the time I got on IRC it was for XDCC ;P. I did once pool cash with some friends to buy rips of Dragonball GT on ebay... 64 episodes on 2 CD-Rs.
