I don't find the arguments either way particularly convincing. IMO just be consistent with the existing schema (if there is one), or use whatever you prefer.

I think games and graphics have some pretty inherent n^2 scaling which can make progress appear to have slowed down, despite large increases in computational performance. Say your textures are 100x100px for example. If you double the size o

It'd be interesting to hear about people who have had a good time implementing OAuth, as my experience is similar to that in the article. I've played with adding it to a few side projects and the process usually goes: 1. Read load

Personally I don't think it is so clear cut. The value of in-person instruction is in being able to ask questions, and a good instructor will then adapt the content to help answer your questions and give you a rounded understanding of

I think the article is kinda mixing two points here. One the one hand, it is sensible to try and keep all your business logic in one place (could be the database, could be the application) as spreading it across multiple places can make it

This is pure speculation and not practical advice, but if you were trying to get in to your accounts from a 'starting from nothing' situation, I wonder if you could get a passport etc. and then make a GDPR request for your data fr

Depends what you mean by better. They're both mature databases with performance and characteristics that will suit a lot of use cases, so one is not clearly better than the other. Having said that, my preference is for postgresql these

It depends on what the cookies are being used for. If they're "essential for site functionality" (e.g. fraud prevention) then consent is not necessary.

How expensive are we talking? Looking at the workspace pricing page the enterprise plan gets you a pooled 5TB per user with the option to add more by talking to them, does that mean you have to pay more for the extra storage?

Agreed. I don't think that was the point the comment I replied to was making though? Maybe I misread it.

This seems a reasonable timeframe to me given the scale of the impact. Security issues are obviously very important, but equally I would be worried if they started acting impulsively immediately after discovering the issue, because there wo

I think you would need to understand in some detail the makeup of all the content on YouTube before you can make that choice. As a hypothetical example, say yt had one user and 1 billion years of video. It makes a lot more sense for that on

While I have some sympathy with this position I think it's worth remembering that there's a huge long-tail of absolute rubbish on YouTube. The fact that they keep it around, for free, over years and years, and at no cost to the us

Not sure what subscription you're on but the highest tier still has "as much storage as you need" or similar wording. I assume they've moved away from the unlimited wording because it was abused.

I think this is overly pessimistic. While there's definitely shady companies out there who will say this while having very poor security practices, it's tricky demonstrating that something didn't happen. Say you had detailed
