I understand your point but I'm not sure it's efficiency to use an ORM that abstract the easy stuff away from the programmer but rely on expert level knowledge to solve what remain. Because at this point the developer that build everything with an ORM will either: - Face complexs SQL query that he'll have to build from the ground up by summoning expert SQL skills they probably haven't use for a while - Seek external help from an SQL expert than doesn't know how the system was build in the first place*

If you know you'll need database specific SQL optimizations on complex query in the end, I guess using SQL everywhere could also make sense. Same language and code logic from simple to complex query and a complexity gradient in between.

*I guess same point could be made about vibe coding actually.

>Raw SQL is great for simple queries, but gets old quick when you are dealing with "higher order" parameterized queries (...)

>The sweet spot is an ORM that embraces dropping down into raw SQL where needed {...)

So basically you said that ORM are great only for the sweet spot of "mildy complex query". Because Raw SQL is great for simple query, and can be invoked when the ORM is not enough for highly complex query.

So I'd stick with my strategy of mastering raw SQL. I never felt the need of switching tool specifically for mildy difficult query. These are usually boring repetitive stuff than you can usually abstract away with a stored procedure (or in a external parametrized SQL script if your development guideline is to avoid storing any business logic in the database)

PS : But of course ORM is still very relevant if your application aim to be compatible with different database vendors and you are ok to never optimize query yourself directly beyond what your ORM vendor can provide.

Earliest Macintoshs in the 1990 launched a tutorial on first boot until you explicitly finished or skipped it. This was a wonderful experience as a kid and still warm my heart today thinking back of it.

Today's Mac only display "tips", "what's new" after first boot or major update because people are generally more computer literate. But (unless Liquid Glass changed that too) they never gave on this mantra that the OS should guide newcomers.

So yeah I think Linux distro have room to do better.

It still parents that usually buy the computers and set up the différents user accounts. So the responsibilities would be put back in their hands as machine owners to correctly tag kid's accounts. OS vendors would then only be responsible to accurately transmit this declarative information to requesting App/services.

Of course some smart kids are gonna find a way to bypass that (as any other mesure you can imagine, because kids are smart). But nonetheless we could have a good enough OS level declarative age for 95% uses cases and send to the trashbin all the age verification creep that is the current trend.

So don't worry if we lure ourlselves that it's ok to stop caring for "intelligence job" globalization will provide for every aspect where AI is lacking. And that's not just a figure of speech they are already plenty of "fake it until you make it" stories about AI actually run by overseas cheap laborers.

You can push any ref not necessarily HEAD. So as long as you send commit in order from a rebase on main it should be ok unless I got something wrong from the doc?

> Orwell was unable to conceive of computers or robots, or he would have placed everyone under non-human surveillance. Our own computers to some extent do this in the IRS, in credit files, and so on, but that does not take us towards 1984, except in fevered imaginations. Computers and tyranny do not necessarily go hand in hand. Tyrannies have worked very well without computers (consider the Nazis) and the most computerised nations in today's world are also the least tyrannical.

Ok for that last sentence guess we'll have to check if what was true in 1980 still is in 2020's.

They do sound pretty much ok for very discreet objects compared to tower speaker. I only occasionally rant when sound skip a beat because of WiFi or other smart-assery. (Nb: of course I never ever activated the smart assistant, I use them purely as speakers).

A simple usb hard drive will actually do, no need for a NAS. The only action required to implement proposed solution is to check "Keep all data on this Mac" in both photos and iCloud Drive settings. And to be extra cautious add a second backup drive from another vendor (to be extra extra cautious don't use Time Machine for the second drive).

For the specific case of thoses that don't have a big enough internal drive they might need to store data on an external drive. But if you do have 6TB of pictures you normally should ask yourself if a RAID1 or RAID6 is not warranted at this stage.

In conclusion it's not a binary decision there is lot of room between "I solely rely on the cloud" and "never trust the cloud".

This is the same for absolutely every manufactured goods. The same durable car model will be kept for over a decade by some people while some other opt for a leasing plan that guarantee a new car every two years. But the intrinsic quality of the car remain unaffected.

To ponder this you must consider what become of the phone they replace : did they trash it or did they have a second life with a less edgy owner?

Kids this days...

Comparing quality with non equivalent focal lengths is as pertinent as to mount a fisheye on the DSLR (because you can!) and then claim that the smartphone have less distortion.

You won't be able to alter behavior of everyone around you. So at least the software should render these interactions in the least obnoxious way by being consistent on both side.

You will always be able to ask for textual clarification. But the big win is that you won't be bothered by sub-par quoting repost.

This will be a "forced rotation", they just need to decide how to communicate to users and work out what happens to those who don't comply. Lockout until key rotation look like an option as someone said.

The service is subsidized by "whale players" that regularly spend a lot of cash, but they are a lot of freeloaders (to entertain the whales and to build brand popularity).
