Sound advice. Thinking through the scope of a programming problem to come up with an algorithm sounds like a productive way of using your mind, but may be a waste of time if you don't intend on programming.
The short answer:
- I don't know.
- Let Techempower to settle this.
I decided to take on Go(net/http) in the initial benchmarks as it shows good performance and even overperformed c++ solutions that claimed to be more performant (in their tests).
But!
There multiple things that can be tuned especially with c++ servers. And there are multiple tests which show different aspects of server's performance.
The problem is that currently I have no resources to do all these tests and what is more important - I think such tests should be made by an independent third party.
So I think oat++ should be submitted to Techempower to answer all those questions.
This is blatant fear mongering. Furthermore, calling these directives 'link tax laws' is simply a cheap frame. You can link to articles freely. Including a snippet that has 'no independent economic significance' is allowed. Agreed, that is not very precise. But is that really such a big deal?
Sure, you might get sued. That's life. You have to trust the reasonableness of the courts. And don't worry, they won't go after you. The publishers will go after some big fish such as Telegram (which blatantly copies entire articles and strips it of everything but the article). Case law / Jurisprudence / Jurisprudentie / Fallrecht will develop around this issue and everyone will be happy.
And for some, just including a minimal snippet may not be an option. They'll have to pay. That's also life. Journalists and publishers need to eat too. Their work is too important to be allowed to wither.
She's asking that people read, learn and get involved in the process early in order to have some influence, so as not to be caught off-guard once these laws are enacted because once enacted, it'd be hard to have change happen. She's talking to a particular audience and that may not mesh with what all publishers in general want.
If you don't abide by the law, you may get sued. If you do abide by the law, you may still get sued. There's no reasoning in there, it's a simple fact.
'My startup may get sued' is not a good argument against a law.
