The discussion here is that we're not able to distinguish them. If we cannot distinguish, I'd argue they have similar value. They must have. Otherwise, how can we demonstrate objectively the higher value in the human output?

We're discussing architecture, which comes before building. Most architects are concerned with the basics, which you mentioned. This is the bread. What I'm saying is: society is evolving and an increasing portion of the population

We needed 95% bread in the 20th century. As society evolves and income rises, we want to consume better quality food. Not cake, though. I think it's the same with architecture. For example: artificial lighting at night can be detriment

If Musk was in charge of Unity, he'd cut 90% of the staff and just charge $8/mo for a blue sign on your game. PS: for those without a sense of humor, this is a joke.

Not at all like piracy. When someone pirates a book, they're replacing the original without consent or remuneration to the copyright holders. When you train an AI on the contents of a book, you're not replacing it. If someone is i

That's what I thought: governments should actually double tax these products to reduce their consumption. People keep buying despite dark patterns because they're addicted. This is akin to cigars and society later bears the burden

I wouldn't set the law aside. Do philosophy over the ethics if you want, but only after you are sure to have the legal side covered, because this one can ruin your finances and your life in general. Unless you're based and incorpo

That's one of the main reasons why automated tests exist: to make sure a change in one area is not breaking anything else in the system. I'm not against strong typing. Just saying this is a bad argument in favor of it.

I think your use of database clone looks fine in the context you write about. I don't think it applies to the context fly.io is writing about. Your post is about something that seems like a different pattern, I think.

Sure, that's why they should steal other people's work without any credit or consideration to their morals. Because it's a "fiduciary responsibility", this is totally fine.

The pattern here involves database replicas, not clones. It's not for a single-shot test, but for continued use with data synchronization.

I'd think 100x before deploying this pattern to external customers. The use case shared by fly.io is for internal tooling. If you have a small team that most likely won't grow to more than a few dozen devs, maybe you can get away
