Because they're typically running locally they're quick, or at least as quick as your hardware will allow. The json-related latency is typically dwarfed by the latency from actually doing the functionality (parsing the code for co

I've worked on large projects using ORMs and others using parameterised SQL strings. My experience, FWIW, is that the advantages listed in the article are all real, on top of which there are some more esoteric SQL features (like window

I think the connection is stronger than that. The jocks-rule culture of American high school is purloined from elite British schools, which were designed to crank out colonial functionaries with intense in-group loyalties. Alex Renton'

This topic is fairly personal to me, since - after I got bitten hard by the continental philosophy bug at the age of 18 - I really did aspire to go into academia and teach it. But I got to the point of applying for PhDs and something of the

It's very helpful, yes, for your third or fourth job. People fresh out of school - or going into a career change, or moving to a new city - typically do not have much of a 'professional network', at least of any relevance. I&

LSP is specialised for static analysis of code, and aims to provide a generic protocol for doing that. However, say I want to run a single test from Vim. Currently I have, for ruby, rspec.vim so ",s" will run the test under the cu

And FX rigging ... Speaking morally, rather than legally, the packaging of loans into CDOs was clearly fraudulent, basically the equivalent of tampering with the mile meter in your car before selling it. The fact that there is apparently no

I believe so: consider the City Slickers case[0]. Those guys were journos, not proprietors, but I'm pretty sure that if you could prove that a proprietor put heavy manners on the journos to do that, they would certainly be up for a cri

It's a real shame for bedroom producers like me, I've got a disposable income but not a spare grand for an iPad pro (plus I'm an apple anti-fan :-D ). If Google had sorted out the audio story earlier, you might still have had

It's not tc39's job to dish out vigilante justice probabilistically for poor operational practices. It is tc39's job to add js features without breaking websites, however likely they are to be compromised.

Websites that are still running ancient mootools versions are almost by definition ones that are not operated by professionals and extremely unlikely to be updated. So - as discussed before - the result would be to break the very people (ra

It's a little more complicated than that; for example, a good many clojure libraries were broken by Java 9. I haven't been writing clojure day to day for about six months, so I don't know how things are looking just now. But

I don't think the scheme under discussion requires a one to one relationship between accounts and pieces of ID. Just that, to get the blue badge or whatever, any account should have an identified 'real person' (or company e

But they can also not improve quickly. I used to work for a company in a declining industry which was in a precarious position, and there were layoffs and profit warnings and such. (Glassdoor rating: 2.5.) the company continues to exist, bu

This is a very important point. I work for a company that publishes client libs for many different package indexes (although not npm). This is a fairly well automated process, but it takes minutes (if that) to push a new version to pypi, ru

I am not saying that journalism is ethical 'in general', but that among journalists there is a strong taboo against revealing sources. Whether we compare that to the omertà code of the Mafia or the Hippocratic oath is a differen

This sort of formulation is extremely common in all kinds of news reporting. Journalists frequently have recourse to anonymous sources - so frequent that there are strong journalistic ethical injunctions against exposing such sources. Deep

It seems to be a holdover from the social media goldrush, where no web app was complete without a way to follow people and so on. Thus you 'need' the app to get push notifications about the latest scribblings of your network. Of c
