Not entirely, certain services are free forever and this reduction is one of them.

I agree it has generally been a sham for a long time. If we actually believed strongly in free markets we would have let the various financial institutions die in 2008. I personally believe smaller regional players would have stepped in and

Ah yup you are definitely correct, that is what I meant.

I get that I can run this as a SPA, but then don't I lose out on the prerendered HTML fetched from the server? That's what I mean by isometric with Node.

I partially judge the novelty of the problem I'm solving by the level of access to information about it I have. You realize you're on the edge of knowledge when you're deep down in the research papers and there's only a

I talk about encryption which cuts the confusion nicely even if it isn't a perfect replacement but I find lay people don't care about the general field of cryptography they care about privacy and from that, encryption. I've b

Unfortunately language isn't a static thing and is somewhat defined by the dominant usage of something over time (unless you're in the rare country that has fully prescriptive language). I had been using crypto as shorthand for cr

Congrats Kevin and Guru on the launch. Happy to see this on here, I was wondering when you’d do your Launch HN. These are real problems that a lot of data teams have and I’m glad to see this making it into the wild!

I see Deno getting a lot of play here, and I think rightfully so. The recent globally distributed chat example in like 20 lines of code is basically the level of accessibility I like seeing brought to otherwise very complicated distributed

I'd say many aggregators do offer value to the rest of humanity but I imagine there are probably some exceptions and also not all scraper services offer no value it's just different value to different people. Some scraping service

Heh at the end I think I may have been called out for my harsh response to the post being referenced at the start here on HN since it seemed to raise some hackles. Borrowing from other social media terminology here, "subtweeted" b

I asked before making a mistake, I also asked to do some light market validation. Try to keep the ad hominems down. If you can't make an argument against the point and have to attack me as a person, it's just validation. Most of m

I'd say most crawlers are looking to provide enriched value for content at their end use. Google is just an aggregator (the biggest by far) but other aggregators are looking to provide similar value.

I'm actually cool assuming there is implicit harm and no benefit, but by that logic we need to tear google down too. I'm cool making that trade but it has to be done equally. If you can't make that trade then you've weig

This one in particular is not worthwhile on the front page of HN, that's my take. They're most definitely useful for beginners, or maybe people just learning about databases. I'm not going to not post simply because you find

First its not my "compiler errors" scenario it's the person who initially replied to me. Sure whatever, I don't think I ever insinuated I thought that was a good idea, it runs in parallel with the issue I have.

No I did, but since I disagree with your earlier point about how much existing knowledge they have it kind of by default means I disagree with what they took away from this incident. It's also highly speculative so like I'm not go

No you've missed my point, the author seemingly didn't know that ForeignKeys applied indexes by default in MySql. It's not "Concept I didn't understand", clearly they're capable of understanding because th

Cool, and if this was a case of bike shedding over something that hadn't just cost that early stage startup 5 grand I'd agree with you. However regurgitating a platitude that everyone, including myself, learned when we tried getti

Which really is a head scratcher. You'd figure especially as a startup seeing a 5k oopsie isn't really as acceptable. Mistakes do happen and I don't mean any shade to this particular person (they'll never make this mista

I feel like indexes are a pretty fundamental type of DB knowledge. In fact I'd say it's table stakes knowledge you should have if you're working with them. Further more, knowing that ForeignKeys typically apply an index to th

I wound up not taking it because I had something that at the time seemed easier for me, but I negotiated a $100/hr contract on UpWork just fine looking for some part time work to hold me over on something. This was in the Data Engineer

Mmm I’ll go with that, to be honest I saw that LinkedIn had initially made a complaint under DMCA (which HiQ then got an injunction for) as well and given how the case played out I was uncertain to the extent the case was signaling that you

No but those are substantively different situations such that this exact thing is being argued in the highest courts of the US. It's not quite the cut and clear case you seem to believe it to be.

No? If you place information publicly on a website it's pretty much free game, no copyright violation, especially regarding user generated information. That's my take, but legally it's a gray area and it's still going ba

Every time this comes up (like every 3 months on here) people just kind of digest it as fact without critically reviewing this. There are multiple posts in the wild that dispute Cal's claims and raise various issues with his benchmarks

How many people spend a lot of time on social media? Billions, this is just providing a more immersive interaction for that. VR is only a tiny portion of that and I'm expecting AR and haptics and a whole bunch of other tech that enable

Organizational and as a part of that access control. One of the current critical issues I see in my own work is that we have a significant amount of downstream consumers of our data and each one needs access at a different layer. This means
