The last few weeks have been non-stop rave reviews of the new Mac. I doubt they’re worried.

This is so vague. Then what do you think we should do? Open up all the bars and start packing concert halls again?

How is “the Bill of Rights, high trust, and rule of law” doing any lifting? You have to vote for people to implement those things. Ideally you’d have a well educated populace and a functional media to make sure the best people get elected t

The software community has built a lot of extraordinary tools that have been through a lot of battle testing. Pretending those lessons aren’t worth something and thinking you can do it all yourself is a mistake a lot of the time.

Couldn’t this end up being disaster with a large codebase and even a small amount of turnover? Are you really advocating that someone should write all their dependencies themselves even if they can afford it?

This works for simple stuff, but once you find yourself making complicated forms and managing a lot of state on the front-end... two-way binding and reactivity from a js framework can keep things from becoming a huge mess.

Those free users are the product. Just because you’re not paying money doesn’t mean there’s not value. “Are they simply punishing success” You could have said the same about Standard Oil and Carnegie Steel. The problem is when these compani

Does this mean we’re about to see a wave of new exploits? Or has this code been out there for a while?

It’s a problem when you consider the trillions more the fed sent to loans for big businesses + banks, buying stocks, and buying mortgage bonds (which also kinda went to banks).

For every 1 of those crazy high security companies, there’s probably 1000’s that couldn’t secure MongoDB instances.

Parent comment is talking about self hosting “Google Docs, S3, Dropbox, GitHub, Slack“. Running all those things (and more) instead of focusing on your core business is probably a mistake for most companies.

I think you’re really overestimating the ability of most small tech companies to self-host reliably and securely.

The problem with doing things this way is that you’re not going to know there’s a problem until there’s an issue in your tests (hopefully) or production. You’ll eventually install something new, it’ll update some subdependencies to a versio

I think that will end up installing the subdependency version of whatever is last in the requirements.txt. You need a dependency resolver to deal with problems with conflicting versions. More details here: https://medium.com&#x2F

by postpawl 6y ago
Wouldn’t you still need something like pip-tools to lock down subdependencies and handle conflicts?

It’s probably worth adding a sentence or two to describe when client side forms are useful? Once your form becomes very dynamic (“add another”, conditional fields/choices, 15+ change events), a server side form will end up needing to d
