This is why Java rocks with ETL, the language is built to access files via input/output streams.
It means you don't need to download a local copy of a file, you can drop it into a data lake (S3, HDFS, etc..) and pass around a URI reference.
Considering the size of Large Language Models I really am surprised at how poor streaming is handled within Python.
See my goto is Java/Spring Boot or Typescript/TSOA.
I avoid Python because Setuptools/Twine/FastAPI/\ docs conflict and seems to change so creating a good practice project layout is a huge time sink and none of the Python devs I meet seem to understand it.
I am doing GoLang atm, its ok but dev adoption is low where I am and no one has shown me a killer library/framework and being controlled by Google I am waiting for them to get bored and kill it.
Spring Boot takes longer to get going than TSOA/Express but hibernate makes SQL interactions trivial. I love typescript but types makes complex NoSQL queries far more convoluted than Java equivalents (its because Types can't inherit and client libraries don't use interfaces). So TSOA rocks in cases of speed or simplicity.
It was an incredibly poor technical choice.
Programming goes through fads where people will claim X can solve every problem. Eventually people realise a languages strengths/weaknesses and communities form.
Rust is the current fad language, its developed a strong following in C/C++ communities but they have nothing to do with middleware (the role Lemmy is using Rust).
It means lemmy devs will have to build everything themselves (instead of focussing on lemmy) and the pool of contributor's will remain small.
As an admin, how do kbin moderation tools compare?
Also does lemmy.world have the spare cash to offer cash for features?
Natural scrolling is the first thing I disable when forced to use a Mac, windows, gnome, kde, xfce, etc.. all scroll in one direction.
Macos has a unique keyboard and a lot of unique non obvious and non discoverable behaviour. For example I use a lot of windows laptops, left and right click involve pushing the trackpad downon the left or right. Someone had to show me right click on a Macbook was a two finger touch. These deliberate non standard behaviours make switching devices really annoying.
I would argue KDE defaults should follow the most common behaviour across multiple platforms, with the option to implement specific quirks.
The move to default double click brings the KDE default into alignment with other platforms (single click isn't the default anywhere else).
I would suggest a bigsur global theme that implements macos keyboard shortcuts, mouse actions, etc.. would be a better compromise.
From a business perspective, you need to assess the impact of the regulation on your profitabiity and then consider if investing business funds elsewhere would lead to greater profitability.
WhatsApp have a single product and have market dominance due to first mover advantage (e.g. everyone is on WhatsApp, so everyone uses WhatsApp). Due to the nature of the business pulling out doesn't make sense unless they only have a limited development team and having them work on UK legal requirements prevents them working on EU requirements, however they are largely similar... (e.g. opportunity cost).
Many 'BigTech' products were developed by small teams, the biggest barrier for entering the market isn't technology but user adoption (KBin, Mastodon, PeerTube & Lemmy demonstrate this, all were developed by 1-2 people in their spare time).
So a 'BigTech' company exiting would be giving up the market in that country and any profit and creating an opportunity for a new small company to grow and eventually compete with them. For example if Facebook pulled out, I'm guessing people would switch to NextDoor, if Twitter quit people would move to Mastodon, etc..)
The US Technology sector is filled with Libretarians who get upset at the idea of regulation. I'm not sure Shareholders/Venture Capitalists would react well to them making decisions for those reasons.
I think they mean Woolworths.
Fun story...
Plymouth's Woolworths was the largest in the country with the largest revenue (and profit). For 5 years it had no regional manager because no one from head office wanted to trek that far. As a result it was completely ignored and not refitted or supported.
During that period head office made us all do an employee survey. One of the questions was "Do you think Woolworths will still be here in 5 years". The store manager got shouted at because our store of 100 all said "no".
After much consideration we were all made to redo the questionaire, this time without the question.
Just as I left a regional manager was appointed who dictated floor layout changes. Being months from finishing university I told him his changes defied how shoppers acted and would cost the store thousands. He told me I was just a shop worker and knew nothing.
A week later on daily revenue of £10k-£20k (Saturday was £100k) the store was down £50k for the week. Apparently he forced more changes and it got worse.
Everyone I talk to in retail has similar stories, all of it is terribly managed.
I think its a self burn.
