You could build a sync feature that requires some background process on each client along with likely complex configuration for peer-to-peer sharing, or you could build a web backend that runs on a server. There are good reasons why everyone does the latter.
That would be true if not for Java making the critical mistake of excluding RuntimeException from method definitions, so in-practice people just extend RuntimeException to keep their methods looking "clean".
Yeah it's a mess as a consumer you have to verify that even the most basic things work. Years ago I was using Nord when I discovered that it was silently failing to actually connect me to the VPN despite showing I had connected, so I reported the issue and they told me not to worry it was a known issue. To my knowledge, they never issued any security disclosures.
Naw man not everything is luck. People have been talking about $100k Bitcoin for what feels like forever now. When the stock market rolled back two years of gains and Bitcoin moved similarly, those who understood what they were looking at made big plays. What happens long-term now that it has hit that mythical price point is less clear.
Yeah you really can't go this hands-off on deployments when the stakes are high. If someone could be physically harmed by bad code, then it all needs to be reviewed. If you can be hacked by a rouge deployment, then it all needs to be reviewed.
And more generally, it is not fun using a lot of mainstream software these days because it is a buggy mess, and I believe a lot of that dysfunction is partially related to the low standards for correctness that development teams have.
Not rich. Well within reach for Americans with expendable income. Mid range 16" macbook pros are in the same price ballpark as 4k gaming rigs. Or put another way costs less than a vacation for two to a popular destination.
Some drugs not being able to make it into phase 1 clinical trials sounds like a functioning regulatory system to me. The bar isn't astronomically high for a phase 1. Like sure, you can't just do it in your garage like a web startup, but there are reasons for that. If anything, there are way too many drugs floating around in LDT right now, hence why those are being faded out.
Is this a signal of a larger pivot in their business model towards targeting a higher-cost US enterprise market? A lot of brands have successfully transitioned to selling the same goods at luxury prices recently-maybe a webhost with a decent enough reputation can do the same.
Any particular reason for choosing IPFS instead of bittorrent or other p2p protocols? It feels like every time I try an IPFS tool it just crashes, whereas I rarely have issues with torrents.
Java has some incredible libraries with impressive performance characteristics. The ecosystem is also full of strange/unnecessary build time magic, obnoxiously verbose patterns, and horrible error handling.
I suspect a lot of the frustration people describe comes from this combined with presently high demand for remote tech jobs. Back when I was job searching in late 2023, I noticed there would be _hundreds_ of applicants for even the worst postings (e.g., paying 50% market rate). Nobody is reading that many resumes, and in the unlikely case they are, that person probably lacks the expertise needed to evaluate candidates. Screeners are starting with resumes recommended to them and binning the rest.
A well-designed ORM can help you with performance, for example, by reducing the amount of effort to do things like fetch related records in a single query. The really good ones also handle migrations. And finally, all of the popular ones I'm aware of allow developers to use them just for mapping results to objects. I would say that in general the further an ORM strays from SQL concepts the more troublesome it is likely to be. If the query syntax looks like Mongo, then you probably won't have a good time when doing more advanced things.
You can repeat that quip three times in the mirror and it still won't change how plainly ugly his campaign and personal actions have been. Nor have you served me, nor liberals in general, any consequences that won't also impact Trump's base to an equal or greater extent.
2 and 3 are the same group. Accelerationists and white Christian nationalists are just rebranded white nationalists, so there is nothing surprising there. Hard to say what the distribution of purely economic voters is given how illogical that is. I'm hesitant to believe the excuses people have given how extreme of the rest of the campaign was and its parallels to a particular historical figure, going to the point of nearly plagiarizing quotes from the man.
Read They Thought They Were Free. People who vote for dictators _rarely_ view themselves as enablers of the bad things that come afterwards, even though they are an essential part of the process. Supporters choose to ignore the bad stuff. Let's hope the worst of it is just hot air, but I'm not giving people a pass this time around personally because it's way too dark.
Matter-of-fact discussion of the economy didn't cause people to vote for a serial sex offender promising to execute his political rivals and purge America of immigrants. The messaging could be better but don't gaslight us. Something is very wrong with the calculus being used by a great number of Americans.
No offense but $0.09/GiB for DB read is so expensive. It sounds like servers would be querying Prisma over the internet? Then webmasters get to double pay their webhost for egress to the internet. Developers need to relearn how to self-host!
Looks like someone reported a dependency vulnerability back in June and never got a response. Seems like one of those projects that is a pretty neat experiment, but users should probably expect to maintain their own fork if they plan to use it.
The most interesting implications may be social, not technological. Historically, there is nothing new about the ultrawealthy running their own publishing platforms to push their own political agendas. The internet has broadened the potential reach of those efforts to new heights though. Splitting YouTube off from Google might be enough to put it in reach of going private similar to what happened with Twitter.
Depends on the context. Forming a real human connection with someone who has proven they can be trusted is a feature. However, people oftentimes feel they are connected to others based on identity, and then treat those people favorably regardless of merit. The latter is such a major detriment to society that it needs to be actively countered by regulation (and is to some extent).
Well there is no way to ban political messaging in-practice, so we have to regulate it. Also, imo, making education accessible to the masses is important for combating the effectiveness of straight-up misinformation. Right now a good chunk of the population doesn't even seem to understand why they believe things generally, so there's plenty room to improve.
The idea that an economy with so much production would fully collapse is kind of far-fetched, but it also seemed like there were some major issues last I looked. Their housing bubble did burst and there have been periodic bank runs. I haven't been following Chinese news for a while now though so I couldn't tell you where things ended up.
