All of the pros of JWTs _do_ apply to Disney+

This is why even the most basic form of generics would be amazing for reducing boilerplate: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/187317/3/src/go/pa...

I'm a Scala dev using vim as my daily editor, if you're using sbt then you can use ale's sbtserver linter: https://github.com/w0rp/ale/blob/master/doc/ale-scala.txt

My secret: got a dog. My awake/sleep cycle shifted 3 hours earlier overnight.

Firefox Focus is the fastest android browser experience. I use that as my default browser, and only swap to normal Firefox when using a site I need to login to

Seems like a very useful library. Any similar libraries for other languages?

Not ready to outright delete Linkedin, but it was the noisiest mobile app on my phone. Luckily the mobile site works decently, so it has been assigned to a firefox tab for the fore…

Eh, seems like a stretch to me. At the end of the day making usable UIs is hard, and any decent guideline that a non-visual person like me can follow is a good thing. My thanks goe…

I believe that's because Alacritty focused on optimizing for throughput instead of latency. That is it will take less time to render a large chunk of output, such as running yes.

You can't just use a windows restore disk to get a new windows installation. When installed, it will ask you for your license key, and will not function fully until you have done s…

Augmented Reality (e.g., Pokemon Go)

I'd be terrified about #4 with any laptop that I use. I run Fedora on an XPS 13. I've never run into #1 or #2. I hit super+L by habit before closing the screen so I don't know abou…

Ultra portability. And there shouldn't be any startup scripts, however, the binary does need to be compiled for the target platform. I'm pretty sure the use case of this is more ak…

Are you talking about statically linking the database itself? Seems like it'd be better to keep the database separate from the binary, unless you're working with a read-only databa…

Putting the string in the binary is really only useful for trying to do ultra-portable deployments like this imo. The overhead of copying the string into memory is pretty meaningle…

To be fair, this sample of code includes macro usage (every function call that ends in an exclamation point is actually a macro). The syntax inside the macros is different from nor…

I love me some akka. Actix would be the actual rust comparison, since it's also an actor system being leveraged to provide web features. You have to dig into Tokio/futures to get a…

Doesn't this just make the argument that having kids is bad for them? That doesn't affect whether or not it has a positive impact on the lives of the couple. Also, this assumes tha…

Maybe course withdrawal rates could be used, but getting access to the necessary statistics seems like it'd be a chore. I just checked with my university and the only statistics I …

This is a well written article, and I absolutely agree with the idea that profiling and analysis is more important than language choice in order to eke out performance wins. That b…

5 for $5.00 at my whole foods

Huh. That's incredibly simple and seems pretty effective. Of course, the sponsored sites could try to track user preferences themselves by fingerprinting Firefox visitors across di…

> SQLite backend > Because comments are not Big Data. For small scale applications, I 100% agree. Sqlite3 is so easy to back up and configure.

I did this before when using ripgrep, and accidentally created a several hundred GB file. Now ripgrep checks if this is the case and handles it gracefully: https://github.com/Burnt…
