Yes. Even if it were doing important stuff, this "important stuff" shouldn't be affecting typing. We have multicore machines now, there's no excuse anymore. Imagine if it were the opposite, and moving the mouse or speaki

Yep. One major difference is that with Google/Apple (and also Steam I believe), app makers can at least choose the price of their apps and services themselves, and they know how many units they sell. If Google/Apple are charging

You are incorrect, though. The reason people advertise tools as being written in Rust is because having tools written in Rust tend to scratch a few itches that a lot of people have: speed, the fact it is native, the safety due to the borrow

It would be better, but it might also be borderline impossible or at least extremely difficult. Since Node is open source, anyone is free to try to solve. Maybe it is trivial! In the meantime this is a practical, acceptable solution. >

I used to be afraid of that, but I've found that it is possible to solve this problem with Code Ownership rules in Github. (Which sometimes you also need even when using microservices, if you use a monorepo, for example)

It is definitely possible to reap a lot of those things with monoliths. Separating internal code using libraries (as the sibling poster said), using different server clusters to serve different routes, deploying those clusters independently

Modern cookie banners definitely are malicious compliance and most certainly are also violations of the GDPR. All those companies could use less invasive methods of asking for consent, such as optional checkboxes in signup forms. Or a non-i

If you're using it only to make your website work, then you don't need a cookie banner. However, if it's doing double-duty and is also being used to track users (or to speak technically: if it can be considered PII by GDPR),

Correct. The intent for keeping IP addresses in logs also matters. To give two examples: if you're keeping logs for legal reasons, then it is perfectly fine. If you're keeping for anti-fraud reasons, this is also fine and can be c

> But opt-out should not set anything. I don't know what you mean by "local cookie", a cookie is always sent over the wire by HTTP. If you mean saving to LocalStorage, then I don't think that's allowed either.

The opt-in should technically take more time, since you shouldn't be sending PII data before the consent. In the case of opt-out the only single thing that has to happen is setting a local cookie and closing the modal window, which a
