We need a synonym for “fascist” because some people agree that what they do and how they do it is bad, but they are incapable of looking past the word.

How so? This "tech savvy and not 100% gullible" generation, gave birth to a political landscape dominated by online ragebait.

I've been seeing this for years, and most of the time they are either lies or, at best, half truths.

If you take the claims at face value, then the process was 100% fair and xAI provides the best models and guardrails for processing top secret data at a lower cost, compared to the competition. Personally, I find this unlikely. We also know

On your first question, it is impossible to unlink it from Twitter, since Musk being feverishly active there, and then buying the platform, was the catalyst for a new wave of right wing support for him and his industries.

It is also estimated that it has lost 80% of its valuation and has ~$9 billion of negative equity.

Unless the specification is also free of bugs and side effects, there is no guarantee that a rewrite would have fewer bugs. Plenty of rewrites out there prove that point.

I’m just trying to understand exactly what led you to make that decision. I don’t follow tabloid style news around software projects, maybe I’m missing on something.

I’m having a hard time trying to understand exactly what you want to do, that cannot be done with SQL. Any concrete examples? I personally rely on views to reuse base queries and then add filters on top of them.

It sounds like software projects are built by humans. Nothing wrong with that. Unless we’re assuming here that the BSD community is free from that.

It sounds to me that you saying that SQL is hard because you’d rather learn the intricacies of an ORM. Also, this whole point predicates upon the assumption that ORMs are infallible when translating queries into SQL, which most definitely a

First of all, congrats on your career. Second, an ORM is just a translation layer, i.e. it does not compile to any binary format the database understands, and instead it gets translated to SQL, which is the standard, minus extensions. SQL i

Mostly agreed with the author about ORMs. The provided querying abstraction works against developers when queries reach a certain level of complexity, and at the end of the day, understanding these complexities is not optional. But I would

Migrations aren’t necessarily tied to ORMs. There are tons of tools out there to run migrations and nothing else.
23.
by manuelabeledo 7mo ago
There are projects, like SQLC, that cover most of the perceived advantages of ORMs, without the downsides. One of these downsides is, in my opinion, the fact that they hide the very details of the implementation one necessarily needs to und

I can’t comment on the “critical mass”, since I haven’t got the numbers. But what exactly does “accessibility” mean in this context? What are the challenges of opening an account in mastodon.social?

Unless your email daily volume is close to zero, this is unlikely. I have had random emails from Google Workspaces to Microsoft 365 be rejected because of a rule that blocked whole IP blocks.

It’s not. Just think of anyone 60 and over, or anyone not in the US.
