in fact, to my surprise, I've just tested our app (v0.10.x in production) on v4.0.0 and all our unit tests pass, the server works... I'm amazed. A single module had to be bumped (Elasticsearch@8) while we directly rely on 50+ thir

I agree we can't easily copy weights in neurons, but we can definitely copy weights in artificial neural nets...

I can understand how a very logic/scientific mind could have difficulty with the concept of luck. Citing literature may not help. Let's say there's some stochastic mechanics at work, randomness more than 'luck'. Luc

It looks pretty clean to me to have dedicated intel servers with lots of memory and local disks for DBs, and workers that can be easily started with an API! We are currently running on online's dedicated intel servers (among others), b

But... Scaleway is a spinoff of Online.net which offers fine (and cheap) dedicated Intel servers. I don't know (yet) the ping between Scaleway and online.net but it's probably low enough to allow scaling "workers" on ARM

When dealing with privacy, they're definitely saying what's wrong. Right to be forgotten. Retribution of newspapers for headlines... That's not about competition. Not at all. Also, Google is not a monopoly. There are plenty o

How many Europeans use Google? 90%. That's democracy: the people of Europe gets what it wants. When Europe says "we'll fix what's wrong with Google", do they want to convert the last 10%? If not, then it has nothing

They're trying hard to make me believe you too. But please note that it's not just anti-trust cases, but also privacy cases / right to be forgotten / partnerships with newspapers / etc... When the NSA scandal was ev

Coercion is most often the perspective of violence. Why would Google pay fines then? Because violence will be applied to make it comply even if it's a foreign entity.

For a long time, countries agreed that free-trade was the best way to avoid another war. Europe was created as an economic region first, to avoid another war. But today I'm afraid Europe suffers memory loss. They're using coercion

"All" the research and development was done abroad, not in Australia. The products were created abroad, so you can't expect the full added value to reside in Australia...

So why not pass a law for that? If the french and european governments really wanted more than piss off Google, that's what they'd do. They don't want to protect citizens, they just want Google's head on the mantelpiece,

I'm so ashamed... I'm french. Why don't people just ask the maintainer of the website to remove content? Why Google? I guess politicians don't get it, so "let's just blame the successful american company".

I agree with all your points. I think the following two are important (they have been for me): - Sense of Entitlement: I thing your studies can give you that (mine have)... That's something the society has given to some, not to all. Th

Not even networked, surely not a replacement for a sqldb server. That's not really what you have in mind when you say "nosql". nosql appeared when they started to call it so... Redis/couchdb were among the first I think,

You can obtain some independence through software architecture, I agree... But it's no panacea. We thought ORMs would shield us from DBs change, then noSQL appeared. We thought 100 concurrent users were plenty and used 1 thread per use

Agree! I was kind enough to not throw a noSQL db in the lot :-)

As for OP, I think his post mentions both systems architecture and software architecture, although he doesn't make a distinction. He cites scalability and maintainability as 2 problems linked to a single definition of "architectur

Longer names also force me to describe the variable's purpose: I must know the variable's purpose. It's easier to code when you know exactly what your code is supposed to do. Longer names capture that. They help me have a cle

Maybe the best way to learn is to succeed (to some degree) at this project, and later realize you could have done much better... Learn from your (small) mistakes. Maybe "su*k at it, but don't fail" beats "screw up this p

France spends 600B/y in social spending. That's about 15k per citizen (minus children). 1/3 of the GDP. So let's change it to a Basic Income of 1000+/m for everybody... Many will loose a lot... because that's w

Basic income usually assumes money comes from nowhere, from "the state"... This experience is fun, but to be correct, those who find a job should in turn pay 1300/m... because the money cannot come from anywhere else than peo
