Sure! We should be tankfull they throw us a bone here and there(i.e. a whitepaper)...until then let's invest more in their cloud services so they can show us how small we are without them. I remember people asking why they don't o

The SQL injection is more like entering using a `back door` instead asking for permission. Power used the facebook API which is the `main entrance`.

Online storage is not that expensive(i.e. $0.026 / GB / month). I'm not talking about iCloud.

Lawyers working on minimum wage...that's something new! Last time I've checked the free market rules didn't apply on law practioners due the "prestige" issue. How does automation affect lawyers anyway?

It seems they ended-up with an native iOS app and provide only some very basic information on the web version. Quite disappointing. http://i.imgur.com/ZS0bxpi.png http://i.imgur.com/uKmnAU2.png

I need someone to convince me that Dart is worth the switch and that it is safe for long terms investment. Having said that I geniunely tried Dart about 2 years ago. The plan was to try it for a small/admin app and then migrate the mai

Depending on your requirements micro-services may be a good or a bad solution. If the communication/protocol becomes too chatty that may be a sign you are doing it wrong.

Maybe won't die but it won't thrive either. I guess it's the new GWT. Not a bad thing but it won't disrupt the web development for sure.

Actually it needs because it was supposed to compete with the mobile/ios/native apps not with javascript. I don't think anyone was thinking to replace javascript with something only slightly better.

Thanks for the answer! Shortly said I feel the same. Angular 2.x would bring fairly marginal value to an existing project. Considering the amount of refactoring it's not worth it yet.

Even with Dartium it didn't reach a speed close to native. I don't doubt that if more effort would be put in the VM the perf could get better but as it is now Dartium is no longer an option.

I think this[0] summarises the main objective of Dart. Having said that I fail to see how it succeeded. Maybe it helped JavaScript evolve a bit but IOS development experience and performance is still vastly superior to Dart/JavaScript&

You are right. Perhaps I heard only I wanted to hear. Anyway here is a talk about performance so definitely it was marketed as a high performance language for the web too. https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Performanc

What stops you from migrating to 2.x? I'm geniunly interested. I have a fat app in 1.x myself but for new peojects I would consider Polymer instead of Angular 2.x

How is that? As far as I can remember performance was always the main reason. The main contributor previously worked on hotspot. It was argued that javascript hit the limits on performance and you need a clean slate, especially due the low

To me Angular2 is not really worth it. The magic was on Angular-1. It did good but now Polymer and React have the mojo each for different reasons. Unfortunately the web development is still a big mess even on new projects with supoort for l

How is Dart more beginner friendly than Go? You can't do much with Dart without an IDE for example. The language itself is also more complex than Go

In some cases is slower. Last time I've checked large apps were freezing on safari. The point is that it's not signifiantly faster than js so I think it's safe to say that it failed its main objective.

A Dart-like language designed with WASM as target will make sense now but I think Dart(as it is now)is already doomed to die. The performance promissed is just not there.

It seems you are estimating the costs per user. I think an estimation per request and perhaps compared with raw EC2 servers would make more sense. Anyway, it's encouraging to hear that's cost effective. My experience with managed&

It depends how tightly coupled is your code to the platform. You can't get more coupled than BaaS and thus the reason why I think proprietary BaaS is such a bad thing.
627.
by themihai 10y ago
That sounds easy but in reality you end-up rewriting 90% of the code. BaaS/serverless by its very nature is tightly coupled with the environment(in this case proprietary ecosystem). I think you also underestimating the effort required
628.
by themihai 10y ago
I didn't say there is a proprietary language. I just said that the current trend leeds to total lock-in. After BaaS,the programming language is the only open piece of your stack. I hope you can see the difference between licese per

Is it cost effective? I mean roughly.

by themihai 10y ago
The question is how much are you willing to trade-off for the managed infrastructure benefits. The database is a level but BaaS is a totally different level. Next would be the programming language. Would you feel comfortable to base your pr
