Sounds like my coworkers.

That makes sense, but surely there's a middle ground somewhere between "AI does everything including architecture" and writing everything by hand?

Indeed, the correct term here is nullipotent.

I haven't tried this yet, but I wanted to say I think there's a lot of potential in this space. There's so much friction with the current popular solutions...and yet it's so hard t…

I'd argue that Tenerife was due to taking off (in bad weather), not landing. But of course, a bunch of planes landing at the same airport without ATC sounds quite dangerous.

This sounds like a very nice compromise actually. I'm surprised it helped with abuse though, since there's a lot of email providers that are easier to create an account with than g…

Well, you have to go out of your way to prevent it. The sub-addressing complexity is on the email provider side; ticketmaster doesn't have to do anything for it to work except not …

I think that's exactly correct. You either do split queries (with more latency) or you do a join (and risk Cartesian explosion). Most ORMs should do this for you.

Wouldn't it cause the cost of consoles to go up and the cost of games to go down, in a way that on average has no significant effect to consumers? As long as it applies to all comp…

I don't think that's how it works... It's a checksum, not letting you check if each section is part of the key. At worst, the key would have some portion less entropy since there's…

Can you (or someone else) explain what the alternatives are? How can I write unit tests without mocks or fakes?

I strongly agree with this. I would add that, at least for me, planning each day out is beneficial as well. When I don't have a plan for a day, I often will sit there, not really d…

Thank you, I hadn't considered that aspect.

This is pretty interesting. It's not like HTTP needs an intermediate representation, but since cURL is so ubiquitous, it ends up functioning as one. cURL is popular so people write…

I wonder if that could be because MySQL 8's replication is backwards compatible but MySQL 5.7's isn't forwards compatible. If so, it makes sense that you're only able to move forwa…

That's actually the formula for nullipotency, where applying it 0 times is the same as applying it any number of times. I believe idempotency is when f(f(x)) = f(x)

GitHub outages have always been fairly common, I don't think that changed since being acquired.

I'm not too familiar with the details here, but probably hit the brakes and stop ASAP? If there could be someone under my car I wouldn't keep driving to "pull over safely".

Great, thanks for the reply!

Huh, can you explain that a bit more for a rust noob like myself? 1. How does it know how to create your Error enum? I guess it's from the #[from]? 2. What happens if your method t…

Thanks for your post. While it might not be the optimal approach for maximizing profit, I think your Stocketa blog post is absolutely stunning and shows an incredible commitment to…

I don't disagree, but the quote is from 10 years ago. Long before COVID.

The actual quote: > There's a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime. I don't thin…

I've only ever done river sailing (including some intentional rudderless sailing), but I imagine in the open seas rudderless sailing isn't really feasible (at least in some conditi…

No, because they're setting acquired_at which marks it as "handled". You only need FOR UPDATE (SKIP LOCKED) if you want to process the event inside a transaction; but the approach …
