This. I often end up writing my own libraries because of this reason. Kinda hard to get into other people's minds...

Nice approach with annotations in the comments. I wrote something a little more tounge in cheek a while ago -- I modified SQL syntax to include functions with arguments https://github.com/scientifichackers/sql2code

whoa, so you can write like a DSL parser using the rust macro matcher syntax?

Can anyone please tell me how the author able to use html syntax in rust? I get that there are macros, but how are html tags valid syntax? Is rust just interpreting the html content as strings? I've only ever seen C macros, and I don&#

This makes a ton of sense to me, thanks for sharing your learnings. I see very little value in using GraphQL, when you can just write SQL on the client! We desperately need frameworks to better facilitate this, like Hasura or Django -- DB m

I do this, easy to implement, and it works pretty well - dropdb $PGDATABASE || true createdb -T template0 $PGDATABASE pg_dump $DUMP_DATABASE | psql -q $PGDATABASE

Protobuf can be converted to (and from) JSON for readability

Hmm, maybe am I wrong on this? Can the down-voter educate me?

There's a lot of contribution here from Jim keller, a.k.a. the silicon ronin. He was the one who designed A4/A5 - the very first apple silicon, that I distinctly remember having performance on par with other offerings at the time

I wonder if tts readers like google assistant's "read it" feature improve this situation. At least for me, having 2 sources of information greatly increases the degree of comprehension and reduces eye fatigue.

Are the swift parts needed for the UI work, or platform specific functionality?

Yes. Why we don't use total equity instead of what one investor thinks is a good price of their share, I don't understand.

I don't understand why everyone cares so much about stock price, an almost arbitrary measure of the value of a company, based on sentiments and not facts. Isn't total equity the real indicator of the company's value in money?

There's an experiment from a flutter core dev -- running flutter on a raspberry pi without any desktop environment. https://medium.com/flutter/flutter-on-raspberry-pi-mostly-fr... A DE written in flutter sounds li

Oh they did a fair amount of statistics on the surveys. But their data isn't based on facts.

Note that this is measuring developers' feelings about productivity, not actual productivity. This looks like social science research, not software engineering.

I agree that direct connection to a database might not be the best idea, but I dont see anything particularly wrong with sending SQL over the wire. I'm suggesting something like a hassura that isn't based on graphql, but works dir

A white space is just a newline and an indent. The newline is mandatory, but the indents can be truncated easily using pyminifier - https://liftoff.github.io/pyminifier/

Ive been wondering for a while now -- tell me, do we really need specialized server logic for every little functionality? In my last project, almost half the server code is really just converting REST to SQL. Why don't we just use SQL

You're completely ignoring the flagship killer market here. You can buy a poco f1 (Snapdragon 835) for 250$ that will perform just as well as any pixel. For that price you can buy a new flagship killer every year.

Hmm, fair point, but I do expect the CPU and the fan to at least be to be connected! The machine quickly jumps to 100 degrees on load, which is something I do care about, from a usability perspective. I have to regularly turn on the airc

Please, some data to back this claim?

Whats even more insane is how bad their documentation is. Especially with AWS I feel like I get ripped off everytime I use any of their services, because there's always some magic, undocumented buttons I need to press in their godforsa

Nathaniel has done a great job of drawing parallels between go and goto. I've been stung, time and again by asyncio.create_task() swallowing exceptions[1], and functions not telling callers about background tasks[2]. For others looking

Just an aside from the argument here, I think almost no python API actually follows the zen of python. It's certainly a nice idea, just incredibly hard to actually live upto in the real world.
