That is because everyone is writing SPAs with node and thus only needs an api like express for the backend stuff.

I really like SQLite but I also like postgres because it supports more complex data types. Sure you can do the same in SQLite by destructuring the data over multiple tables but it's just not as easy or straightforward.

This is why developing with MongoDB is so fast and easy in the beginning. You just go, store shit like you structure your data in code which makes the mapping extremely easy in most cases.

Your answer is my thoughts perfectly put in text. Better explanation than what I could come up with myself. Thanks!

I work on an application that could benefit from web assembly but the biggest hurdle for me is that it's kind of complex.

The web used to be quite simple but now it sometimes feels like you have to have a very large team in order to do anything. Sure, I could probably do web assembly but that would take time from other things that also is important.

I get that it is very useful for larger teams making larger applications like Figma. But for small teams it feels like the tooling isn't there yet to do anything useful in the timespan that I need to.

That being said, assemblyscript seems very interesting and I probably should look into it.

Do you think it will get a repairability score higher than 5 this time?

I think not.

I will probably never buy hw from microsoft again but I must say they make really killer ad videos for their shit nowadays.

> I currently have XPS 15 with 4k screen and I can easily see pixels

Bullshit. Unless you literally push your face close to the monitor and view it from a normal viewing distance, you won't be able to see the pixels.

He probably is upset, but then he logs on to his online back and see the numbers, then he calms down.

It's only human, I would gladly do a lot of shit against what I believe in for even $1 million USD.

They do say that under the "INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY" header. It is not much just the IP and some other basic stuff. It is a small company that runs the service so I don't think they have the resources that are required to do a lot of data collection and analysis and they wouldn't benefit from it either.

Well sure, but I don't believe signing a petition won't do anything. The only thing would be to stop paying them. I already have done that and I advice others to not be spotify customers as well.

Interesting post. I would advice people against running a kubernetes / docker setup if you don't know it well. It's quite complicated and most small companies don't really need it.

As the author say, he already got a lot of experience of it so it worked out great for him but it is probably easier just to install the tech needed for a small company.

Unless you have something very special going on, the dependencies (like databases) are probably not going to be that many.

I don't use Spotify, simple.

If you like electronic music I can recommend Digitally Imported (https://www.di.fm/).

The best part is that I don't need to find new music since it's radio. Also it's like half the price of a spotify sub.

I also stopped drinking red bull not long ago because it would mess with my sleep cycle. I would not be tired late at night and stay up way too late. Then I would not get enough sleep and start the viscious cirle to drink more red bull.

I decided to stop when I my heart started racing randomly (im closer to 30 than 40) sometimes so I visited the doctor and they basically told me to stop drinking energy drinks and sleep more.

I have tried before to lower the amount but if I drink energy drinks I always end up in that bad circle. That said I love red bull. I love the taste, how clear my head gets whenever I drink it etc but I cannot drink it anymore because it is very harmful for my health.

Good for them I guess or is it? I don't understand how you cannot have prosparity from selling raw materials?

If you think you're not being paid enough, increase the price along with creating your own products. It seems weird to me to not let foreign countries buy your raw materials just because you want to produce more stuff yourself.

It's not like I will start buying chocolate made in ghana because they don't want to sell their cocoa anymore. I will still buy from the brands I like and are used to most of the times, which is a local brand.

Cool, never heard of it and visiting their website it is not exactly clear to me what their product is.

I have never quite understood how companies just have a single landing page with no publically available product or service (as it seems) and still get bought for several hundred millions.

I totally agree with your arguments, I would rather live in a fucking shed in the forest than to sell out my privacy like that.

Also it seems ridicolously easy to game, just buy a seperate upwork computer and when you go afk, just leave the right program open.

Cool thing, but kind of useless.

Reasons I would never buy this:

1. It's from Google, so privacy issues are a big problem. Also they will probably discontinue it any day now.

2. I guess you'll have to charge it all the time. I hate charging my phone and watch already so the utility of this is not good enough to warrant that issue.

3. It doesn't solve any problem for me. It is a solution seeking a problem. Fiddle with this only to turn of my lamps which I can do from my phone? Nah thanks. I already have automation on many of my lights to follow the day/night cycle and I never even have to think of switching it manually so this is kind of a step back. I don't really see that many other features to be actually useful.

Yes, http://segundamano.es/ was the spanish version but it looks like the merged it with another site. https://www.finn.no/ is the norwegian version but it was developed seperately. https://www.tori.fi/ is the finnish one. Such listing sites are big business and they make a lot of money of them.

They have done similar stuff with Prisjakt.nu and made a french version: https://ledenicheur.fr/

I think there are even more still but I am not certain.

It is well known and no one in Sweden seems to give a shit which boggles my mind as a Swede. Anyway, it was nice but it has only worked well beucause of Swedens low crime rate historically.

Now, with increasing criminality due to mass immigration there is only a question of time until these services becomes illegal I think.

I have personally been subjected to a stalker, so it will be nice when these services disappear for me personally but I honestly think the utility of them are great. If you find a wallet for example, you can easily find this person and call them due to these services. But for now, the only way to be truly anonymous in Sweden is to get a protected identity which is pretty much impossible to get or to buy some land and switch your home address to that place. People can still get all the properties you own with your "Personnummer" (social security number) but it is harder, less known, takes more time etc.

LeBonCoin is actually a fork of the Swedish original site Blocket.se, visit it and you will see similarities. Both are today owned by the Norwegian umbrella organisation Schibsted afaik.

I really like Brendan, I think it's sad that he was let go from Mozilla and I switched to Brave as soon as that was possible.

Sure, that is a great feature but that doesn't really need that much data besides listen data that they need to save anyway (I am assuming).

Spotify is a company that feels like they want to be a "big tech company" when in reality they do not need to. All they need to do is provide a great service with as much music as possible.

I like privacy but I don't like this development. I am afraid for the future of the web due to Googles dominance.

You should make the main content full screen or at least larger and perhaps add more fields. It took a long time before it loaded in the boxes, so is the server overloaded atm?

I disagree, it is censorship. We all know how hard it is to build a community. To just say go use another platform is really not a fair comparison.

Discord and Reddit in this case, even if they're not banned from Reddit yet, is their only means of communicating with eachother. Sure people can create some kind of group / channel on another platform, but if they are banned from one there is no way for them to know where to go.

Obviously the group is going to be mostly dispanded when they are banned or removed. I would say this is a kind of censorship. If they would've been given some time, like a week or a month before the banning then I would agree it would not be censorship because then they can assemble somewhere else.

No ofc not, but that is a coffeshop and not a place where the business is sharing stuff. If the business is a town square where everyone is and your excluding a specific group that is censorship.

Except when people do create their own shit, like Parler, it immedietly gets shut down as soon as it gets popular.

It would only be a fair parable if your coffee shop was the only coffeshop in the entire city or that it exists like 1-3 others but you all talk with eachother on the phone and collectively agree to deny those people service.

I thought Qantas was the worlds safest airline by far.

Fuck Amazon is all I have to say. This just adds yet another reason why I would never use AWS. People that defend Amazon are the ones ensuring no other companies will release their software as open source since you'll get exploited by shitty companies like Amazon.
