I could be wrong, but I think Vertx would be a better choice? https://vertx.io/ It's actively maintained with full time developers, performant, supports Kotlin out of the box, and …

Personally I think that anyone who believes that they're going to die before climate change kicks them in the nuts are in for an almighty shock (unless you're 80). My prediction is…

Really? You're looking at the graph, showing a clear and frankly ominous anomaly, especially in the context of the clear wording around "the oceans should be warmest in March, not …

Agree! I am in the UK and have an electric bike, but I only use it for trips where I know I can safely store the bike and where I know the roads intimately. The UK needs to solve t…

IndexDb is not a relational data store. It's much closer to Mongo than it it to Sqlite. If you want relational tables, joins, aggregations etc, you want something like this (or the…

This is great for when you have to send someone a link to something but you don't really want them to open it.

The closest experience I've had to VB in a more modern context is B4J: https://www.b4x.com/b4j.html Visual designer, integrated IDE and debugger, basic language, very similar philo…

"just have money" - this is my new mantra.

Just wanted to add that Eleven (VR table tennis) is absolutely brilliant for exercise. After an hour of eTT and you will be sweating and have increased your step count a lot. Moreo…

There are plenty of excellent engineers at Bumble. It is not easy to get a job there.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no DDD expert by any stretch. I think the main topic and real difficultly of DDD is figuring out specifically where and how to separate out different contex…

DDD doesn't prescribe any structure really, other than saying you should separate out different contexts and use unified terminology throughout the business, which I don't think an…

Would certainly be interesting to see the comparison in terms of computing power and power usage between a small pi cluster and a single XEON server. I imagine such a thing would d…

Something I'd like to know, if you're moving off AWS and using your own raspberry pi cluster, what would you do to provide a performant MySQL DB for example? I can't imagine that t…
