Might as well report all users of internet to authorities for using internet because internet can also be used to commit fraud.

Exactly, don't forget, if you own or drive a car you must be a criminal, because cars are used as getaway vehicles in serious crimes.

You can also murder people with your car including children.

Actually, that makes me think, what will happen, if suddenly there is a flood of reports, too many for them to deal with? Let's say all GrapheneOS users installed that app to get reported and then some more bots/fakes are set up to do that too.

For start you can strong arm or mandate bank to not make their app run on GrapheneOS device.

Bank is highly regulated service and vital so there's strong incentive and ramp up here

While most people who use an unbackdoored OS aren't frauds, presumably it's correct at a slightly higher rate than assuming someone is a fraud because they use the internet.

You mean like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collection_of_Internet_Connect...

> The fastest, most compressed columnar format for big data

How large a dataset can it tackle? I work with Parquet files spanning 300million+ records (~800MB files) using DuckDB and it works within seconds.

I might be interested to see benchmarks against Parquet and Vortex. A DuckDB extension would be great as well.

Every single time I experience Gradle, I’m grateful Maven exists.

Angular 2+ is equally horrible. Having spent 6 years on various versions of Angular, their migration story time and again has been an incredible pain.

These days I use web components for component writing and frameworks to handle routing, state management, bundling, and so on.

can you compare it to other frameworks?

I migrated from Angular 4 to 18 (including ngrx and material) and didn't find it especially problematic.

Migrating mostly was little effort and consisted of automatic migration and walking through the provided checklist (mostly to ensure I didn't miss anything important), but I don't have any comparison in the JS SPA ecosystem.

Vue 2 to Vue 3 has been equally painful for atleast one app I know about. Compare that to last three versions of Astro (with web components) and it has been a breeze.

> I migrated from Angular 4 to 18 (including ngrx and material) and didn't find it especially problematic.

The pain varies from project to project. Mine has been touched by a generation of developers of different levels of proficiency. A more disciplined project would’ve been easier to migrate in retrospective.

I think Angular ecosystem really missed the train with schematics (even ngrx!). Schematics could tackle a lot of toil if implemented exhaustively but apart from Angular and Material, nobody else seems to implement them effectively for brownfield projects.

This design is already a success IMO.

This is so relatable. In the beginning of my career, I used to add so many dependencies for things I did not know. But these days, I mostly work on removing dependencies because I'm a lot better at using the web platform. I treat the web platform and browser primitives as materials to build what I want rather than a blank canvas to paint things from scratch.

I guess it is time ... (sigh)

> I am biased towards Perl

This entire article reeks of bias of someone who hasn’t looked at Java since Java 8.

That recent?!? Most criticism of Perl comes from people listening to second-hand rants of someone who hasn't looked at Perl since 2001.

Yes, the article could be improved by the Make magazine advice on submissions that you should write a 3 paragraph summary of your article and then submit that instead. This could have been shaved down to the 4 paras at the end (Prologue) to make the author's point more succinctly.

I think the whole thing is written tongue in cheek, and is trying to be funny.

> Gemini AI baked into every layer of the operating system.

This itself is a dealbreaker (and probably a recipe for some litigations in future).

Always astonished at the pro privacy and anti-bitcoin stances here in general on TheftCombinator.

This is fantastic. I’ve been building an Excel-like but columnar spreadsheet app using DuckDB and had to reinvent the “client” through classic HTTP layer.
