Sonarr is a SPA, also our backend is C# vs python, which generally leads to better performance (contrary to what a lot of criticism we get, "why did you go with C# it's so slow" ok...).
The other part is that I did performance work for few years as my main job so I would say that adds a bit as well. right now we are working on refreshed UI which will be even more snappy.
>> I have with pieces like the original article are that they are making it sound like we are engaging in a Gestapo-like rounding up of large numbers of minorities for no reason and throwing them in jail.
That's actually not how the Gestapo worked. They were very bureaucratic and followed protocol. Their most misused power, according to Wikipedia, was the "protective custody".
I have partly to agree, nobody cares if you spy on their citizens. However, once you can prove industrial espionage it becomes a totally different discussion.
Oh, but Germany isn't part of the five eyes alliance. I think that's what hurt us the most. Our government really believed in a German/American alliance. And then we found out we didn't belong into the inner circle.
And now the politicians finally realized what it means to give a foreign power access to your internet nodes. Sure we need the cooperation, but my guess is the politicians and the executive organs could not imagine the NSA would use this to harm our economy.
fiveeyes is hardly a secret. It's existence isn't even classified. For example, I've sat in presentations with nationals from many countries, and the non-fiveeyes members would occassionally be asked to leave the room at the end to allow the fiveeyes nations to divulge some further information. But the other nations were told before leaving that the next part of the presentation was fiveeyes only.
And before "curl | sh" it was download from freshmeat and run "tar xfz; cd; make install".
It's not really better. Fact is we are running huge and complicated frameworks with lots of dependencies. These technologies are new and evolve fast. Distros don't have enough volunteers to decouple this mess and thus fail to provide stable packages. There is a good chance nobody wants an old version of hadoop anyways.
Containers are a whole other problem. Always bothered me that no one cares about building these images themselves. The documentation is there, you can build your own docker/vagrant/... containers and vms. It's just nobody seems to care anymore? Sometimes I don't even know where these images come from, distro, community, ...?
That was exactly what I assumed when I wrote my comment.
The point is that the issue that is relevant to whether or not their behaviour falls afoul of EU anti-trust rules is whether or not they have a monopoly position for search, and whether or not they are using such a monopoly position to expand their reach in the shopping space, not whether or not Google Shopping faces competition or currently does well.
If anything, the fact that Google Shopping faces stiff competition makes their alleged attempt to leverage their search position to expand its reach more serious, as there is an existing market they may hurt through anti-competitive practices.
Usually companies like this can fail for a very long time. As long as someone is willing to pay, you can live with the slow development speed, the high number of bugs and the constant team changes.
this exactly. I expect they are paying below average wages, have huge churn of people looking for anything to do while the perfect job arises. Throw in some people new to the area who need a job now, some old contractors who have money and are looking for pocket money and more stability (who's CVs are amazing, they have the gift of the gab but get bored really really quickly and just don't care about the job) and that is a the instant recipe for churn and crap code.
Cherry G80-3000 is one of the cheaper mechanical keyboards. Sure it has cheap plastic terrible case, no special features. The key caps are just key caps. It's not marketed to gamers, but it's a good office keyboard with mechanical switches and it's available with a lot of different layouts.
