Sounds like Rama is also useful for small scale applications (where high scalability isn’t needed), since it simplifies how they’re implemented. Is this the case — ie. would a TodoMVC app implemented in Rama also be much simpler than a trad

Meh. By this definition all libraries expose an "embedded DSL" — their API. I'm honestly not sure this is a useful definition.

Does "replicated" here mean that the data is persisted to disk?

My limited understanding of logical replication is that writes only happen at COMMIT. Ie. nothing is replicated until it's committed.

You’re missing the fact that this study measures only correlation and nothing else, thus making it close to useless. The sample size is also tiny.

That may be the case on Android, but I have an iPhone that runs Google Maps.

by runeks 3y ago
Agreed. And not just that, but also the fact that people use Google Maps for car navigation means Google can derive the location of traffic jams by comparing current speed with the speed limit. This is hugely useful for navigation since it

IMHO having an SQL language server they does only parsing, ie. validates only syntax, is a bit like a Java language server that does parsing only — ie. does not check whether e.g. a given variable/method actually exists or whether type

To be clear: I'm not rejecting the hypothesis, simply asking for supporting data. Ie. data that links the supposedly higher productivity to the higher unemployment at precisely that point in time.

What's wrong with fructose? Surely not all fruit is unhealthy.

by runeks 3y ago
Sugar is energy to the body, or at least it metabolizes into something that is. It may not affect mood or behavior, but it surely affects energy levels.
