It might not even have to be a smartphone, but much lighter yubikey style (pk/sk signature) devices.

I hate to say it but the form factor of those crypto hardware wallets might be a good compromise between smartphone and very low level tech. Non-tech folks should be able to use them too, a struggle that the crypto space is constantly working with

Not sure I‘m getting what you are saying - us providers‘ capital city is always in Washington DC, no?

Sorry if I’m misunderstanding something here

What if you „lose“ your google / apple account, like this sanctioned judge of the international criminal court? Crazy to imagine that we are still baking in dependency on US providers in european societies, even though there is clear indications we should be doing the opposite?

For a full featured "go generate(d)" ORM try https://entgo.io/ Seems rather similar, with the main difference being that you define your schema in a specific go package, from which the ORM is generated. The nice thing is that you can import this package later again to reuse something like default values etc

The same here - I think templates would be a good fit!

sqlite can actually be scaled quite high: 4mio qps (queries per second) https://blog.expensify.com/2018/01/08/scaling-sqlite-to-4m-q...

Depending on the use case (SaaS offerings with per customer shards) you can actually scale sqlite quite high. Expensify scaled to 4 mio qps (queries per second) [1], so if one of your customers is exceeding that, you better be looking at another DBMS but below that - well sqlite is an option.

I guess the problem is that once there is a paid CLI tool, some other dev will make a clone for his CV / GitHub where even the compiled binaries are free. Now people have to choose between the OG tool and maybe pay for it or use the mostly feature complete (or feature complete for a specific use case) free version. I would even go as far as the community will continuously switch to the free tool until the free tool has enough clout / traction to actually supersede or replace the OG tool.

Theory: At this point, tutorials which are consumed by the beginners in the field will select the free tool (because it has a bigger target audience, so better SEO), which makes this whole thing a generational thing? „Oh in the early days we had to pay for this, now we use XY which is newer and shinier and even free, thus better“

You are perfectly describing entropy or the fight against entropy more specifically.

The article is great until

    Instead, Animal Crossing is a political hypothesis about how a different kind of world might work—one with no losers. Millions of people already have spent hours in the game stewing on that idea since the coronavirus crisis began.

Is it though? There is compound interest in this world, I don‘t think we are able to make all lenders „Tom Nook“s.

Why would anybody then switch from industry to the FAA? No industry related pay until hired by the FAA - thats a bold transition

Yet you pay the cost in speed when using a database engine, there is a big overhead.
