Didn't you mean that you don't consider " using a database" as a "best practice"? Which means "not using a database" does not go against "best practice".

I just made the same decision for a hobby project. The current version basically just queries a dataset, ie. no modification of the data (no create/delete/update). I realized it makes almost no sense to store read-only data in a d

Honest question : what's the difference between the two? I assume assert also checks conditions at runtime?

No, that is clearly not the case given that the TDP of the A17 Pro (10W) is 17 times less than the TDP of the 7950X (170W) while the multi-core performance of the 7950X is only 2.6x that of the A17 Pro. The reason it uses more power is that

Wait... if your motives and those of Starlink are aligned, why would we even need CLEC regulation? Surely that regulation forces the carrier to do something it otherwise wouldn't have (or it would be pointless), thereby suggesting a mi

Hovering over the name of a variable in Haskell shows the type. It sounds like your OCaml LSP server just hasn't implemented this yet.

> The A17 Pro gets 7199 on GB6 multi-thread compared to 18778 for the 7950X [...] But how many cores does the A17 have versus the 7950X?

Did you mean "why doesn't the government allow every citizen to register a set of public keys for identification purposes"? The citizens obviously wouldn't want the government generating their private keys. Because then

I agree that runtime algorithm negotiation makes sense to avoid sometimes. So just make a spec that factors out the algorithm, and make the choice of algorithm a compile-time thing. Then there's no need to hardcode anything in the spec

Hmm. If this memory is faster than DRAM, wouldn't it be quick to test, say, ten trillion write/erase cycles? Why stop at 10M? Is the erase operation really slow?

That my point: you can’t define how much a dollar is worth in dollars because it’s a circular definition. You can, of course, calculate the change in price over time of a specific basket of goods (rent, steaks, corn). But there’s no reason

> The accumulated inflation in the US since June 2019 is c. 17%.[1] This means US$ 55 in June 2019 is "worth" c. US$ 64.35 today. So it seems that you get a 4GB Raspi 5 for c. 7.25% less today. Included in that 17% figure is th

I support forcing open standards on tech giants. But I don’t support singling out a specific tech giant (in this case Apple), since it means Apple’s also-tech-giant competitors get an upper hand. For example, why not force Google to open up

If your first point holds, then all app components should be “scalable” from the beginning, because you may not have time to make it so later. And that’s terrible advice, of course. You very likely will have time to scale things up (cus
