Going back to the early 2000s with freemarker/twig/mustache is what he means I guess? Nextjs and Gatsby are what they are for very good reasons and backend apis can be written in whatever you please these days... Why would you consider using those dinosaurs again? When that is all you and your team is comfortable with?
With arrays and composite type the potential for semi-structured schema was there for decades. The concept just got more mainstream with NoSQL, more easy to maintain and more efficient with indexables type such as JSONB.
Yes hstore is limited but since you can represent numbers and even hstore itself as text, all you really have to do is cast to and from text and then you have a nested structure with almost anything in it...
jsonb is much better obviously but hstore was really nice and kind of under appreciated.
My beef with software patents is bigger than my dislike of the Facebook institution. I think something like a weak patent clause would be nice for FOSS projects but it's not explored by many so far.
Interestingly more people seem blatently annoyed that their employer forbids them to use e.g. React and not about what the license actually means.
Sure, but other coffee operations like x||=5 are also abominations. Brevity and purity are often at odds and the choices made by a language can be arbitrary.
Lies. Merkels government just changed how the number is calculated. They created programs for unemployed (1 euro jobber, "Aufstocker") and removed them from the statistic.
They still receive social support but are not "fully unemployed"
If I understand this correctly, currently there are 7.3M "mini jobs" in Germany - 733,600 (2.4%) lesser than last year. 2.6M (approx. 36%) of these mini jobs are side jobs i.e. jobs taken to earn additional money (may include students as well).
There was a study [1][2] which showed most of the job growth in recent years in the US has been via 'temporary' or part-time jobs. So the recovery that Obama took credit for using the blanket statistics such as 'unemployment rate' is heavily skewed towards people who compromised with jobs that were worse than the one they held before the crisis.
As the study mentions, this was heavily influenced by the effects of the 'gig economy' via tech companies which created a larger percentage of contractor jobs.
Instead of pretending the gig economy will go away because we don't like it, maybe we should strengthen the safety net to protect these types of contract workers. Such as expanding unemployment to contract workers who are employed for a certain timeframe. Which would also help provide protections to the large number of web developers, designers, and other tech jobs which are a growing in number in recent years who don't fit into the typical 9-to-5 framework.
> Yes, Germany is a wealthy country but most of its citizens are poor.
What do you mean by "most of the citizens" are poor? I can understand if you say that Germany income gap is increasing but I can't understand this part.
No one needs to get donated food. These leftovers are given away for free instead of throwing them away. Some people are using this for propaganda, and to many are falling for it.
Even in stronger regions like "Baden Württemberg" everybody can see a lot of people with the same problem but it's easier to look away and talk about propaganda.
While your statement is indeed true, the German way of calculating unemployment is actually more conservative than the US way. There the ones who stop looking for work are dropped from the statistics...
Your cited sites don't care for the reason. But Germany had a lot of immigration of people which make more money in Germany than they could at home, but less than the more native population.
My favorites are the collection of functions offered by the graphql-tools package. Like composing your schema from strings instead of the verbose JSON definition. The mocking is also neat.
Apollo is really just a tool-box of a lot neat little things that you can put together or omit. Check out their other packages beside apollo-client.
For most web frameworks, the user model gets retrieved from the db automatically whenever an authenticated request is made. So there is no extra lookup.
