For MongoDB in Python I once had to construct a list of two dictionaries containing dictionaries themselves with various two and three character magical key and value names (eg. $gt) in order to query a collection by date. If that's intuitive I'd hate to use something unintuitive.
Oh and MongoDB Compass is a dumpster fire. Query takes too long? Too bad it will time out with no option to let it complete. Also I get to write my query in JSON in compass then I have to convert that to native Python objects if I want to use it from there. With SQL I copy my query from datagrip, inject my parameters and call it a day.
I forgot the best bit, if your query has a subtitle mistake most often you simply get no records back where a similar mistake in SQL throws a helpful exception.
Hell, I maintain an application where the person who originally programmed it reimplented Rails in PHP (except worse)... It gives me all kinds of grief lol
But they did, and they will always do at every turn...
I am not against making something not backwards-compatible. I am in favor of throwing old, bad things away even at the risk of having to rework some stuff... But how crazy legacy is at every damn company is just making it so frustrating. They will happily just wait it out for 14 years and then complain about their Python2 being desupported
I have a framework that has a database backend that relied on some default behaviour of count() where if you don't put in an array, it would just return 0 and not error.
Broke in 7.x because it would now warn now... I don't remember what it returns now but that was a thing...
First thing I thought when reading "M3U Editor" was music playlists for local music... Man, definitions sure changed. I don't personally like conflating terms very much, but that happens a lot nowadays.
The following isn't feedback, just personal rambling:
Also I can't feel but somehow I would be unable to make a software that has that kind of "playlist protection" as a feature that needs a higher tier of monthly payment. I seem to come from times where things like this sure warranted a one time payment but not an ongoing one. Though it might be that I have my head stuck up my, well, you know and I need to get with the times of SAAS
Same here, having grown up in a time when I could purchase software and own it, SaaS feels bad and I avoid using it wherever I can. That said, I DO like making money on the side, and I understand why people prefer many smaller purchases to one big one.
The article states that it set itself at the first daylight savings change, but apparently the wifi chip broke so now it can't set itself at all anymore
The .NET Framework, specifically the WinForms and the WebForms did that. Of course you could change everything manually, but DataBinding was a core concept which relied on changing data to change the contents of the GUI.
WPF still has the same kind of approach and to be terribly honest, Silverlight, as hated as it was, did it before React.
Yeah, typically users are mildly annoyed by electron applications because they either don't fit into the basic style of the OS or suck away RAM. They stay because of the service, something that is provided (the walled garden usually)
Which is why electron is so popular. I'm sure the whole "it's way easier to whip something together that kinda works" is correct in the short term. You whip something up and rely mostly on the hype and viral marketing to drive your app.
Winamp won far before Spotify was even a contender. It won in another time. Spotify is winning mostly because people don't want to spend money for songs anymore and they don't give a damn if they own them. Which is not to say I don't like the practice, it doesn't matter to me.
They frequently didn't spend money for songs to start with they just stream them instead of pirate them which however much people complain about the revenue is certainly more than the zero they got from piracy.
The degree to which people didn't want to pay for music was kind of obvious when people needed mp3 players sufficient storage that filling them legally would have required as much money as a down payment on a house.
