Unfortunately, while I agree with you on the monoculture angle, I'm not sure this article covered it in any meaningful way. It's really sad to grow food and know what it looks like, and then go into a grocery where everything look

Everyone that enabled this behavior should be blacklisted by any and all respectable companies and investors.

Our government, and moreso, our society through cultural and government apathy has devalued anything academic that does not produce material gains - capital, wealth, patents, etc. I fear that the total commercialisation of academia means th

The"new" Gmail is the slowest website I use. I'm trying to give it a go but honestly I'm gonna have to switch soon. It's nearly unusable.

Child-side foreign keys? Does that mean constraints in app logic instead of the database?

I'm probably really ignorant asking this, but how do you "pause" schema migrations period. And even if you did, how do you ensure a consistent experience for your users if your db is broken? Some sort of application logic to

Computers don't lie, code doesn't lie. The idea of smart contacts is literally that code is law. If the code is flawed, that flaw is law. As soon as you try to wrap intent, disposition, and other legalities into the equation, how
