That's brilliant!
It isn't. Most decision makers of capitalism are very unaware of science. You'd know this if you work in research. The ideas that see light of day do so not because they're good in any quantifiable sense. It is because they convince the capitalists. This can be affected by so many things that aren't merit or even cost based.
Some things make sense from a cost perspective, but not a profitability perspective. Profit isn't just about cost. There's margins, competition, longevity, etc. Something can be of moderate costs, but if the margins are too low or it is too long term or a project, it is of low value to capitalists.
I'm surprised no one mentioned projects like libgen and scihub. They are much better than Wikipedia imo.
Not just can be. Wikipedia has been proven to be manipulated by political interests.
I got a lot of downvotes when I said this in the last post, but I'll say it again: France is such a fascist place.
But it's not E2E encrypted
Do not associate people's behaviors with their race. I am from the middle east myself, and I am pro-LGBT. A lot of middle Eastern immigrants are anti LGBT, but not all of us. There are also many Europeans and white people who are homophobic, so the reverse isn't true either.
And just remember that homophobia as it exists today was exported by European colonial powers. While Muslim regions were never particularly excited or warmly welcomed LGBT, they tended to leave them be and treated them normally for the most part. It was not a societal issue worth considering. Modern homophobia was introduced by the west, and while Europe has seen great improvements there, the Middle east and third world is sadly behind on all fronts. Our wars and lack of education keep us more ignorant.
Last thing I'd add is that I notice middle Eastern immigrants to be more homophobic than the ones at home. I suppose it's their reaction to going to LGBT friendly places and thinking it's a conspiracy theory. I only say this to say that it is not as bad at home.
When people self host searx and 4get, is it meant to be local use too, or is it only for public use? (or both?)
Like would it be stupid if I host searx but only for local use? How does it even work?
I find SQL to be easy enough to write without needing generation. It is very well documented, and it is very declarative and English-like. More than any ORM, imo.
Surely there's more than 1 ORM that is at least used commonly enough to have a decent community for every major programming language. Just search the web for ORMs in python, JS, and Go and you'll see what I mean.
Not even language choice is forever. I've seen more codebases change languages or frameworks than I have seen changing databases.
What if you change jobs, and now work with a different language or framework? What if you're just helping out a sibling team in your company, and they use something different? Having to relearn a new ORM is annoying when you already know SQL.
I am not basing my argument on any of these things having a high likelihood of changing. The main point to me is that you're abstracting an already high level and very well abstracted API, and the reasons presented don't justify it (abstracting vendors but then locking you into a more specific vendor).
But then you get locked into the ORM's much more highly specific syntax.
At least the differences across SQL variants are not THAT major from my experience. The core use cases are almost the same.
Nearly every religious minority in Syria supported Al-Assad in the beginning. They felt that he did well protecting minorities. They didn't fear just any sunni leadership, but one that wouldn't be kind to minorities (and unfortunately some sunni groups made their dislike of religious minorities clear, which enhanced this fear).
The fear of extremist groups taking power has largely subsided nowadays. I think this encouraged the Druze to protest the suffocating conditions in Syria, without fearing that it would lead to extremists taking over.
