Uhm. Adding 16GB RAM instead of 8GB costs almost nothing and which by far and large, is useful to all users. The only reason why they ship 8 GBs is because they want to sell you upgrades, similar to why Apple products come with miniscule SS

So does the 2nd part's example snippet use transactions or what? Seems pretty dubious, even for an example. With Node.js I pass a function as a parameter to a transactional exec and any failure should rollback the whole thing. Don&#x27

That are some really good points. I would also add, that while you lose on the money you could earn as a developer compared to eg SV (or Zurich), you get in turn a comfortable life without being forced into believing that money equals happi

Well, this sounds a bit typical JS dev talk. React isn't all that terrible, it's actually quite good and battle-proven. It has great libraries, many devs are familiar with it and if you know it well you can be pretty damn producti

Hmm, I think I'd still choose Scrapy over JS in this case. While it can be a bit convoluted, for real production stuff I don't know any better choices. I have myself deployed a Scrapy web scraper as AWS Lambda function and it has

A one hopefully positive thing that comes out of this is the obsolescence of the use of personal information for purchases. I don't know when exactly it was thought that knowing someone's name, address and social security number w

As the other children comments noted, I think the biggest problem of the system is game theory wise that there is no considerable pay-off when voting in a heavily blue or red state. There should be either a two-tier system with points from

I would like developers to learn SQL first before picking ORM to actually understand what the ORM is doing for them. Sure they'll be doing their share of sub-optimal subqueries and head bumping trying to write group by queries. But in

Well, I wouldn't say highly profitable. Unless I am reading incorrectly they haven't been making much of profit lately. Maybe the good parts make a hefty profit but alas, as a whole it has been a pretty sad sight to see.

I have a gut feeling this would be a huge PITA to maintain and to fix all the weird bugs users would encounter. Sometimes even though you can do it, maybe the bigger thing is should you do it. Perhaps if you have the money and time and your

The pacing of the animated series (the old version) is just so relaxing it's hard to describe. Instead of the super fast-paced animations we have now it takes its time, like a grandmother or grandfather, to tell a story. It's perp

I'd wager it can't teach you abstract concepts but since abstract concepts are much easier to learn with the practical knowledge of using them, it would definitely be helpful. Also honing motoric skills is a key part in doing many

The point isn't how profitable slavery is or was. The point is what would happen if people who don't follow moral norms lived forever having accumulated a lot of wealth. If in this current system wealth is concentrated to a very s

But it is. We have progressed out of slavery over the years. Without those who were staunchly pro-slavery and who profited from it mightily dying, they would have been fighting against abolishing it to the tooth and nail over the years. Aft

I feel it has been a shift of focus from building new and innovative products to building supremely profitable products. It doesn't sound that big of a difference but in terms of how it affects the end user it is a noticeable change. Y

Button is way too simplistic. A form where you could state your proof along with other arguments why a news is untruthful or otherwise overly antagonizing would work better, but would be hard to evaluate by automatic means. Maybe after a ce

It's surprising how rarely I even consider using CSS grid and every time I do, I still figure out a way to do it with flexbox. Now this depends of course on what you are doing, but for simple things, and you should keep things simple m

Yeah, that's quite similar with my experience. The idea is really nice and when it works, it's great. But debugging those GraphQL queries without any intellisense and writing monstrous config files eg gatsby-node.js makes me wish

That is the failing of any devout believers who walk the line between delusion and reality so much, that they become unable to see their own actions from a critical point of view. Those with more grounded views I'd say tend to drift of
