We need a synonym for “fascist” because some people agree that what they do and how they do it is bad, but they are incapable of looking past the word.

How so? This "tech savvy and not 100% gullible" generation, gave birth to a political landscape dominated by online ragebait.

I've been seeing this for years, and most of the time they are either lies or, at best, half truths.

If you take the claims at face value, then the process was 100% fair and xAI provides the best models and guardrails for processing top secret data at a lower cost, compared to the…

It is also estimated that it has lost 80% of its valuation and has ~$9 billion of negative equity.

Unless the specification is also free of bugs and side effects, there is no guarantee that a rewrite would have fewer bugs. Plenty of rewrites out there prove that point.

I’m just trying to understand exactly what led you to make that decision. I don’t follow tabloid style news around software projects, maybe I’m missing on something.

I’m having a hard time trying to understand exactly what you want to do, that cannot be done with SQL. Any concrete examples? I personally rely on views to reuse base queries and t…

Can you give any examples of the type of politics that ruined XOrg or Linux?

It sounds like software projects are built by humans. Nothing wrong with that. Unless we’re assuming here that the BSD community is free from that.

It sounds to me that you saying that SQL is hard because you’d rather learn the intricacies of an ORM. Also, this whole point predicates upon the assumption that ORMs are infallibl…

First of all, congrats on your career. Second, an ORM is just a translation layer, i.e. it does not compile to any binary format the database understands, and instead it gets trans…

Mostly agreed with the author about ORMs. The provided querying abstraction works against developers when queries reach a certain level of complexity, and at the end of the day, un…

Migrations aren’t necessarily tied to ORMs. There are tons of tools out there to run migrations and nothing else.

There are projects, like SQLC, that cover most of the perceived advantages of ORMs, without the downsides. One of these downsides is, in my opinion, the fact that they hide the ver…

You don’t need to follow the news cycle to use an operating system.
