An AuthN/Z system would probably end looking like counterexample #2, which immediately raised a red flag for me about the article.
Yeah if services can't be used by multiple other services, then what's the point?

About the ethics of residential proxies: Brightdata, which sells a residential proxy, blocks their own proxy when you point it to brightdata.com.
The fact that they don't allow you to use their service to scrape their own domain, tells you something about their ethics...

In my experience with Django the admin scaffolding saves a lot of work building UI for diagnostic and customer service workflows. Projects on other frameworks that I've been involved with end up rebuilding a lot of that stuff in their own codebase, more work and often not as good of a result. There are a lot of aspects of frameworks like Hyperflask that look attractive relative to Django but foregoing the admin framework is a high price to pay. Are there some alternate patterns other people are finding successful?
I often run my projects on Supabase and then the Supabase UI becomes a backstop where I can teach my admin users to do things if they really have to.
That, or just use Airtable as a backend, if you can get away with it.
Mostly I agree with you though, I got swept up with lots of "recent tools & frameworks" projects and I really miss the Django admin. Django+HTMX has always seemed like a tempting option.
Well, that's unfortunate. That means another company couldn't, say, make and sell a variant of this that uses US letter sized paper instead of A4.
Since the printer takes flexible roll sizes and cuts its own pages, probably it would work out of the box with letter right?
I do get your point though, it would be nice if this was not an NC license

How do they prevent people from embedding malicious payloads in the WebAssembly?
On top of security concerns, you're now shipping potentially buggy code with every dataset. And you're relying on adherence to semver to match local binary unpacker implementations to particular wasm unpackers.
I see why you're doing it, but it also opens up a whole avenue of new types of bugs. Now the dataset itself could have consistency issues if, say, the unpacker produces different data based on the order it's called, and there will be a concept of bugfixes to the unpackers - how will we roll those out?
Fascinating.

Kinda off topic but im really curious:
Why is there a chess move mentioned towards the end of the paper? (page24)
CMU-DB vs. MIT-DB: #1 pe4
Sounds like they're trying to start a chess match with their rival researchers, inside of a sequence of papers. #1 pe4 would indicate a classic king's pawn opening (pawn to e4) [1]
Clever.

I see a $400 price tag on a five week course. If it takes 5 weeks to learn how to use your product, I am skeptical that it has legs.
Side note: supposedly this is the first cohort of this course, so how do you already have testimonials?
Having been a frequent patron of both while living in DC: my opinion is that the Udvar-Hazy center has a much better collection, but I'd argue the NASM on the Mall is the better museum. There's a lot more information and things to learn versus just relying on the presence of artifacts.
I felt that I had to take a guided tour at the Udvar-Hazy center in order to get the full experience.
Those guided tours are so good though! You can learn so many cool stories and details and it's a different experience every time, so it's always fun to go back.

> Initially, when the destinations were divided into separate services, all of the code lived in one repo. A huge point of frustration was that a single broken test caused tests to fail across all destinations.
You kept breaking tests in main so you thought the solution was to revamp your entire codebase structure? Seems a bit backward.
