That's not Java's fault though. IntelliJ IDEA is also built on Java and runs just fine.

It's a collective action problem. One person's subscription will not make the difference needed to improve journalism enough for them to get a direct benefit. Further, the main benefit would be that it exposes corruption, which do

I don't like Canadian telecoms, but in order to get the $, they have to be employing full-time journalists, which is the outcome we need. What's the alternative?

I haven't seen anyone put any other alternatives up for debate. I know Poilievre has talked about defunding the CBC, but I don't know of anything he has proposed that would result in more local journalists. Do you have an alternat

There's a crisis in local news. It's an essential service that the free market has largely stopped providing -- the number of journalists following local politics has been decimated, and sometimes in a literal sense. Without someo

You might be able to argue that Postgres' foreign data is a different form of pluggable storage engine. E.g. you can even use a CSV file as a backing store for a table with file_fdw. https://www.postgresql.org/docs&#x2F

I like sites whose cookie banner gives options instead of only having "Accept All". It makes you feel more respected as a user.

It seems like they're worried that interning of objects/records would be too expensive to do generally. It's hard to predict though: that overhead would only apply to new code using R&T and has to be weighed against the e

Sounded like the solution was to tell them that they've been out-ranked. That's the part that was missing from the text conversation. After that, of course they'll be meek.

There is a real taboo about mentioning veganism. That said, it's fairly mainstream these days -- any big enough BBQ will have to have some option. Lactose/gluten/shellfish/peanut etc issues (that aren't choices) are

You still have two votes: with your wallet, and with your ballot. Think back to the times of slavery. You could've said: "I don't own any slaves, so there's nothing I can do". In the end, we did the right thing, but

The nice thing about a standard like K8S is how there are other clients to choose from. You can do everything from the CLI with kubectl of course, but there are also a bunch of apps that will work with any K8S cluster: https://me

There's a lot to caching that REST gets wrong. It thinks in terms of URLs being cacheable, but that's very limiting. GraphQL caches at the level of the objects in the response. Almost every REST API will return multiple objects fr

the "honest consensus" is the "diversity of users"; users doing the validation at least. Your rewards can be as high as you'd like, but if one party is in control of most of the validation, you're screwed. It&#

It needs enough diversity of users to be resilient against a 51% attack. If you don't have that, the value is 0. (You lose the benefit of the distributed ledger and may as well be relying on a central party's database at that poin
