I think you underestimate the impact of their database on the world. They were a huge tech innovator in that part (and actually still are).

It can definetly help, like with describing images that have no description. But I doubt it can deliver good and consistent results to make whole websites accessible where developer have paid no attention to this topic at all. From an effic

Interesting. This is now the second DB next to Oracle[1] that can do JS (that I know of). pgSQL and PL/SQL of course still stay relevant but in the Oracle spehere the argument is that you can reuse existing code from NPM. Like this blo

Not for me as I like looking at actual HTML but definetly intersting. Good job! I also like Svelte which uses it's own language and needs transpilation. I think that's key to elegance as JS was not really designed to control layo

I think browsers are in the best state to slow down their development rate. They have come so far, it is the most uniquitous application ecosystem nowadays. Even though there are still great developments currently, they are rather niche an

It's always the same. Big internet giants having really unique issues: scaling with millions of users at the same time, micro optimizations as they have a big impact because of the scale. So they need to really complicate things like

I tried it too and tasked it to do a bigger migration (one web framework to another). It failed pretty bad where I stopped the experiment. It still gave me a headstart where I can take parts and continue the migration manually. But the wors

For me TailwindCSS actually was helpful in learning CSS. You still apply the same core CSS fundamentals. If you created a complex layout in Tailwind, you can also do it in normal CSS. I look up the exact rules behind their classes frequentl

Good, I hope this brings companies to change their setup. Office competition is strong, MS office is a huge and costly vendor lock in. Also many ransomware attacks start with someone allowing macros or clicking on a link in Outlook.

Well, nobody needs anything 100% of the time besides oxygen. But if you pay a lot of money for a watch because it has certain features backed by services, I would definitely hope that I can actually use them when I want to.

There are ton of hobby VPSes with a simple website, CMS, email server, or maybe a Plex. Do you really think that these kind of scenarios should use a bastion host?

A lot of people comment about Docker firewall issues. But it still doesn't answer how an exposed postgres instance leads to arbitrary code execution. My guess is that the attacker figured out or used the default password for the superu

I definitely see how this happens. SQL is easy to start with but sup hard to master. And it requires good data models. But if both are fine there is no way that any native code will be faster than a database. No network latency, set operati

Nicely done. I know this seems crazy at first but in my opinion big SQLs are one of the best ways to store complexity. The problem being complex is the issue. SQL is a standard, condensed, extremely performant, actually testable, and logica

There is a lot about Larry Ellison, but not a single word about this year's rather big Oracle release (23ai)?

Definitely not surprising. The quality of Netflix originals is on a decline for years. I see this label as a warning nowadays. There are enough good quality movies and shows. My life is too short to spend it with mediocre entertainment tha

Why do you think Astrill is one of the best? And why do you think it is better than Mullvad? I trust Mullvad because it does security audits like this. And it stores no data and has a history of police showing up without any data compromise

Yes, it similarly just builds around developers storing the code in the database layer. Forms is still around, with some giant companies relying on it, but of course, it is slowly dying. APEX is also 20 years old already, but based on the w

Even though it is Oracle, Oracle APEX is exceptional at creating CRUD applications. The main benefit to other low code tools is that it doesn't want eliminate code but just the repetitive UI code. It still expects you to have skills in

This definitely depends on the use-case. But not having to rely on a foreign service and owning your data is huge for many people. Additionally slack is super expensive for a paid tenant that does not delete your chat history. And some day

Strongly agree. I guess toasts work better for mobile screens as they are smaller and mostly vertical, so the element spans the whole screen width. If it needs to be there and should be responsive, I would prefer it to be an alert in the up

There is an EcmaScript proposal to go in that direction: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations I think this should be part of the language spec.
