And why is that an argument against hosting the dependencies you have, on your own servers?
422.
by patates 4y ago
Are you suggesting that all dependencies are bloat or am I misinterpreting your comment?

It feels like we are hearing more and more package-repository drama/hacks recently. Did the popularity of npm wake the hackers up or is it the reporting?

Ottoman Empire had the same dilemma that Russia has been facing. It's economy was struggling, parts of it was turning into nation-states and it was involved in long wars in which it had no clear dedication. Russia (or Putin, to be fran

If you could ask all the leaders who have led a nation through a war and kept their position, I suspect nearly none would accept a win condition that means they did not win.

I always argue that if the docs would have been detailed enough to clearly express the properties of the implementation, they would be the implementation.

I'm all for reducing parking lots generally, I just can't realistically expect that many others feel like I do. As a temporary solution, can't they start planting trees in the parking lots? Just give up a single lot for every

by patates 5y ago
Well, that is what I actually use most of the time, but to nitpick, it still is not declarative, and semantically a and b have no meaning. Just to be clear, I'm saying these are in 99% of the cases not deal breakers but they can be if

To quote myself: > or normalize to yet another join table This is also semantically incorrect. There needs to be exactly 2 rows there. You cannot in a declarative way, prevent that if you use this approach. It's also a known dilem

Treating links as an entity. In a RDBMS, it is not possible to map a bidirectional relation semantically. It needs to have a direction (you can define it in both directions but then you have 2 relations). You then also need to duplicate lin

Unless you are "exceedingly elite in your field" you wouldn't do much problem analysis as a doctor, you would do routine checks. The point still stands IMO.

You can assume that I have the decency to check the docs before I even ask on Stack Overflow, let alone complain about it on HN :) I did follow the docs, it gave errors for one reason after another, and I don't have the time to dive in

Two-way bindings could seem like a great idea at first, but then you start building on top of it.

I didn't want to deal with the front-end. It took me, however, less time to create a custom front-end (for a particular task) than dealing with Django-admin. YMMV. With Entity Framework and Dapper, I don't think I can be more prod

Could you please point to me where? Custom join table, check. Self-referencing m2m, check. Setting up admin for it?

Last week I was trying develop a quick prototype, and instead of setting up a C# project, I tried Django. At first, everything seemed super easy, but later I hit so many road-blocks that I had to give up (For example defining a self-referen

It's about neither your extension nor your incentives, and you can be the nicest person on earth (and I have no reason to believe otherwise, great work!), but we are all mortals in the end, and with the automatically updating extension

It's also known that the extensions are also bought and start displaying ads, or worse, double charge the ad industry to let them escape their block (like once upon a time ABP did).

In YT videos will still have "sponsored content" regardless. If they can't make YT display their ads, they will buy off the content creators. Ad industry is just so infectious.

I had once created a webpack config which automated that. Helped a lot when applying front-end jobs, where they gave you a take-home test, so I could just attach the single html when I wanted to deliver the results.

I agree but I changed "pointless" with "hopeless" for a better effect on my end.
