The status quo, nobody gives a crap, with the regulators literally doing nothing, cannot continue. In the UK, the ICO is as effective as Ofwat. (The regulator that was just killed for being pointlessly and dangerously usless)
(Edit: fix autocorrect)
Bit-for-bit reproducible builds are definitely doable, but mean including build dates is tricky, and care needs to be taken with archival file ordering.
Is this such a big departure from the norm? Curious what constitutes normal!
Having an £1/month subscription that you could take any number of (including zero), would be easy and generate some income.
There have been some mis-steps to be sure, but also some cool stuff. People often focus on the negative.
Just worth bearing mind when people talk about streets being emptier - just emptier of cars
(Other bad guys are around too)
This falls into the category of "we rewrote a thing written by people that didn't know what they were doing, and it was better"
Large class hierarchies (favour composition over inheritance since 1990!), poorly written async code (not even needed in java, due to virtual threads), poor startup times (probably due to spring), huge heaps sizes (likely memory leaks or other poor code, compounded by inability to restart due to routing and poor startup times)
Yawn.
Me, circa 2007, when lovely hadoop guy trying to tell me how good it was for 10m rows of data... It was much slower than Oracle free version as I recall.
Remember kids "just say no"
Because I have a fast car
Because I was in a hurry.
Because I had something really important to do.
Because the shops were closing/little Johnny would be late for school.
Because I'm self entitled?
Stringly-typed, catch-log-ignore, generates warnings in IDE anyway...
Fixed 90 of 125 errors that were found by a different technology... probably.could have been fixed by one developer in 1-2 days anyway - how long did this take?
Been true in all statically typed languages for decades!
It's good advice.
(AI slop). If it's not worth writing, it's not worth reading.
Perfect.
Recent UK dishwashers use less than 2.
Edit: im not advocating writing 'ls' in java, and I would also agree that java uses more memory for small programs, so its not a systems programming language probably.
Just use new() it's pretty fast.
Why do you need to share tracking data with many hundreds of shady organisations.
A different suggestion would be to build a threat model.
Who are your uploaders? Who are your viewers? What are the threats?
Only when you've figured out what the threats are, can the solutions make sense.
Internal site? Internal users? Publicly available upload link? What media types? ....
Threat modelling is a thing that adds lots of value (imho) when thinking about adding new capabilities to a system.
