The article name describes Tailwind exactly for me. I personally am a fan of schematic html/css. I remember the days off CSS Zen Garden, with well marked up html you can change the…

I agree with all that. DevOps is similar to agile. Originally they both described a set of principles, an ethos, not a specific role. DevOps was your development team work closely …

In the UK they are called “breakers” i.e. motor breakers, bike breakers, car breakers etc. Since the early 2000s I’ve been buying used vehicle parts from these off eBay. One of my …

A lot of the news I see related to Canadas property issues is related to pension funds owning a large amount of property so using their size to constantly rotate tenants then incre…

That’s the thing. A home should not be an “investment”, it should be a “home”, a home to live and give safety/security, not land, bricks and mortar someone purchases to make a capi…

To use R2 you’d need to host images/assets separately on their own domain rather than just put a CDN infront of your entire site and forget about it. Putting assets on their own do…

It’s not uncommon. I’ve twenty plus years experience building software on the JVM. From EJB’s of early 2000s to original Spring, then the more recent Spring Boot, a plethora of oth…

I’m increasingly accidentally clicking ads on Google search. When it happens I’m sure I’m in an A/B test with ads in search results at the bottom of the page blended in to look lik…

Given the PR recently with Apple calling people back to the office you would think they’d be leading by example and moving back to in person events again.

I see this in most single page apps. They have a waterfall of multiple API requests by the browser to display a single page. That means the front end has a bunch of logic to aggreg…

This argument gets posted for nearly every [insert language name] that isn’t JS/Java/Python. It’s not to hard to learn. The Rust web stack is fairly simple and easy to get going wi…

I noticed this. Not Google but I worked at a mid-size US based company briefly last year. The team was junior but senior in titles and highly opinionated, that was why I ended up l…

With managed runtimes it used to be you had no control. It was an opaque black box with complete vendor lock-in. Now it supports Containers it’s a place you can run any compute you…

Of course 90% will use zip packages, container support is relatively new in the lifetime of Lambda. Deprecating zip packages doesn’t mean zip packages no longer work, it means pret…

They’ve provided custom runtimes which removes the need completely for managed runtimes giving you whatever version you like. They also did it in a way with Docker that’s simple an…

During the pandemic I was regularly seeing $170k AUD ($116k usd) + super (10% pension contributions) + equity if available, fully remote or 1-2 days a week in the office for senior…

Australians treat property as pension funds. Pretty much every middle class person will have an investment property or holiday house. Airbnbs are popular, less requirements (no ten…

I’ve used it for bulk loading on time series data partitioned by date. It’s a few years ago so details are blurry. We got daily snapshots and on ingest we created an unlogged tempo…

Completely irrelevant, this triggers me how broken the workplace is while there’s a huge push to get people back to the office. > "Empower employees to reserve a desk in the workpl…

Nice design. I miss the 2000s forums. They were a great source of information that was easy to read, search and for search engines to index. As the posts where often by enthusiasts…

Agree the underlying language is not to important. On the other hand when I see built with Rust I have high confidence it’s going to be fast, bloat free, easy to install binary and…

Java web applications I’d describe as “boring technology” if you want typical rest applications with SPA frontend or a full stack server side rendered (SSR) app. By boring I mean i…

Yes. Not to bothered about the account sharing but it’s looking like it may add a bunch of friction to use Netflix away from your primary residence/device. If the friction becomes …

Bands help. You get the most assistance at the bottom and the assistance decreases as you pull up to your strongest position.
