All the same arguments were said about cigarettes and yet in 2022 I almost never smell a cigarette burning outside and few young people smoke. People complained about cigarette taxes wouldn’t be effective but they are. The stock market didn

That’s literally just another way of saying you are using Bitcoin to break the law. Also in the US, transferring Bitcoin to say Russia is sanctioned and illegal. Is it technically possible to push the button and the transaction go through?

GraphQL is a layer in front of SQL. I can write a Graphql endpoint in python (Using Django-Graphene). I can write python functions that return data to the graphql. I can write ORM queries that write data to grapqhl. I can specify access, pe

Great to see improving support for async here. I am a big fan, but IMO python async code is just different from other async langauges. I used async extensively in python and compared to other languages it is a pain to use because unless 100

I think my experience in async in other languages has shown how rough async in Python is. Unless async is the default python, it will always be an after thought and introduce needless complexity when working on large projects that require a

Why do they need Async templates? When a template renders it should be pure data and fully on the CPU. It seems Async templates would encourage a bad behavior of doing n+1 queries inside the HTML.

? With Graphql and Phoenix you use a RDBMS to provide data for the queries you write. Its not a replacement. Its also not even much a paradigm shift in my experience. Queries are simply analogs to GETs and Mutations are analogs to POSTS. Th

I would say -> GraphqL + Phoenix + Postgres From my perspective I wouldn’t choose CouchDB. For one, its a pretty obscure DB that doesn’t have a lot of support. For example almost all major hosting providers now allow you to launch an app

The main value proposition is to sell to the next person for more than you paid. Everything else about banking the unbanked or other vague goals about being better than fiat are to convince the next bag holder.

So the only use for crypto is that regulations haven’t caught up to it? Used to pay illegal immigrants and circumvent sanctions, which is still illegal whether or not crypto makes it possible.

No they are not. That rationale is a coping strategy at best and deliberately misleading at worst. Tether is NOT a bank. They are not regulated and have no guarantee that depositors will be paid back. They promise a 1-1 backing and instead

Short answer yes! Long answer: Statetrace works at two different levels. The first is to record the raw changes without annotations. Statetrace works 100% with any framework at this level. The next level is to record with annotations. Curre

I think it stems from complaining is lazy. Its much more difficult to see why things are they way they are or see the virtue in things even if they have flaws. Its not that complaining has no place, its just that most complaining is is th

I suppose the main advantages would be less dependencies (no Redis server). Less overhead (you aren’t routing though anything) I haven’t looked at the exact performance characteristics but it would be fun! You would have built in load balan

This article is about implementing the Redis Protocol on a socket yourself. Not about the Redis Database. Sorry for the confusion.

Author here. EXACTLY. I’m showing that it is just as easy to use a different protocol than HTTP. Instead of reaching for an HTTP framework to do RPC, I’m showing that Redis can be just as easy.
