Issues arise when you're dealing with multiple languages. Say, if you're working on a Java app (which uses camelCase) backed by a Postgres database (which uses snake_case). Postgres in particular has case-sensitivity quirks if you

For me anyway, "dystopian" media is one that conjures a world that is significantly worse than ours in some way. I did not get that from the movie. The movie did not portray the AI as being a malevolent or even a negative presence

Is #5 true? I want it to be true, but I am wary of the fact that people say that not because it is true, but because they also want it to be true. My own anecdotal experience suggests that, yes, people do slack off more if they are remote.

I feel like OP would have been better off not pre-populating the models, just to make the point of the tool clearer. A lot of folks here seemed to have missed the point of the tool.

If there's a social endorsement scheme that doesn't involve real-world identity, I don't see how you won't end up with a situation where Bot_A is counted as legit, being endorsed by Bot_B...Bot_Z

The unsafe ALTER COLUMN is one step. The safe option is four steps minimum. It's not hard to see why people would be tempted by the unsafe option.

"Phenomenon" just means "thing that can be observed". It doesn't need to mean something that is unusual or surprising.

by yen223 2y ago
Architecting their entire tech stack around marketing towards the dozens of us who like unusual languages is certainly a strategy.

The main thing that next.js gives over React is a backend, something that Angular by itself doesn't give you.

> to me the biggest and most interesting changes were the move from backend-driven rendering to frontend-driven rendering, and the move from DOM-as-state to rendering the DOM from state I think a lot of this can be attributed the rise of

Hah, role management for us is "create a role for migrations, and a role to do db things, and enforce auth entirely in the web app" I suspect we aren't alone

I genuinely can't think of anything Angular does that I felt was strictly better than what React does. The closest is probably that Angular is batteries-included, whereas React is just a view library. This argument I would be more symp

I do not doubt that if customers had a choice between "slow" and "fast", all things being equal customers will pick "fast". Customers aren't stupid. But in a surprising number of cases, either customers do

Hmm. I think this is because in that situation, all cases (including the unhandled one) are "correctly" returning undefined. I can see that if I made the branch return a string, Typescript will correctly show the "Not all cod

I recall having to add that dummy 'never' branch in the past, but I haven't had to do that in newer projects on recent versions of Typescript.

Agree with you on the ergonomics of sealed classes in kotlin/scala/java. It works, but it's clunky. I quite like Typescript's approach. You do get exhaustive switch-case matching, so that's like 80% of what I want o
