I shouldn't feed the troll, but how can you make a ridiculous assertion and still fail to draw a sound logical conclusion from this new assertion? Unreal

Well, this was maybe a bit entry level description. Q: "databases are often the worst-performing part of the tech stack" - compared to what? nginx throughput? I find this to be a b…

Could you say more about some of these times? I'm curious what it means in more concrete terms. I only say this because I am a UI engineer who has been in some scrappy situations, …

Just what we all want on our production hosts.

A very agreeable comment. I think your edit surmises it pretty well actually. Take care!

That's exactly the distinction I was making. Do you call Ericsson a tech company? I certainly never hear them in that bundle. Again, "tech" != "technology" in this domain in my vie…

What kind of companies do you call "tech" companies then? I can't really understand the objection I'm facing, when people tell you their stock portfolio is heavy in tech do you rea…

I'm not sure if this is intentionally obtuse, but yes "tech" as a slang term doesn't mean "technology", it describes a type of company largely known for the prowess and scale of th…

I guess this might not strictly belong to "the package ecosystem", but I strongly disagree that you can compare the npm packaging story to the pip packaging story. Publishing to np…

Fair enough, that's a good counterpoint, and I do agree seeing all the data from the source without our limited bucketing would be very interesting.

I agreed with you at first, but I recall the Bay Area having one of the earliest shutdowns in the US, and that started March 17. While some companies were definitely sounding the W…

This article feels a bit "no shit", but there are a few interesting numbers in the table there. * August 2019, 16.1million monthly users, 1.2billion revenue * March 2020, 39.5milli…

Well, then you can just work out a deal to not monetize it. Your objection is of course valid - extra workload on top of a normal job probably has its limits. But the fact one is w…

Sure, but that's being positioned as a "huge advantage" vs. JavaScript, which I hope I do not need to explain to you the irony of

Drug sensitivity is always such a strange thing to me. It strikes me as having characteristics of qualia - to you, going cold turkey on caffeine was apparently monstrous, but I've …

So in this case, the enemy of my enemy is or is not my friend?

Ok, I see. I did some reading and it looks like this to me: * the DB is supported by a backing file * this backing file supports multiple read threads simultaneously but writes are…

This seems like a pretty disingenuous representation of the progress made under the pressure to use inclusive language. When I was young, it was really popular to refer to things v…

That seems dangerous? How can it be so? Surely multiple instances of SQLite shouldn't read the same backing file..

Why is this targeting full stack developers? Seems like a quite simple CSS framework. To be honest, it's also really quite simple. I don't have much feedback - it's basic and it wo…

I would say that you're also completely ignoring the benefits of typing. It's fair to say JS's lack of typing is a deep flaw, and so tools like TypeScript and GraphQL (which pair m…

Makes sense that they'd use relative to / urls, no? Otherwise how could you handle youtu.be versus youtube.com versus...
