In a typical Rust project you organize your project into many crates. I haven't checked, but I'd guess that the vast majority of those dependencies are internal dependencies. After…

For what it's worth, Immich supports this too. You can create an album (for each event), create a shared link, allow public anonymous uploads for the shared link, and then give the…

It's pretty easy these days to spin up a local Postgres container. Might as well use it for prototyping too, and save yourself the hassle of switching later.

There's a repository setting you can enable to prevent actions from running unless they have their version pinned to a SHA digest. This setting applies transitively, so while you c…

Pulumi may be what you're looking for. Same concept as Terraform, and many of its provider libraries are just wrappers around Terraform provider libraries, but you can use a variet…

Timezones are not static, and actually change somewhat frequently. A program that converts any given future time to UTC risks becoming incorrect about when that time is due to poli…

I was able to get a Pasmo card as an alternative to Suica, and it was rechargable with cash. I also did the same with an Icoca card. I didn't need a Japanese address in either case…

I fully agree. The rate limits are how you control the behaviour of the clients. My suggestion of leaving caching to the clients, which they may want to do in order to avoid hittin…

There are times when a cache is appropriate, but I often find that it's more appropriate for the cache to be on the side of whoever is making all the requests. This isn't applicabl…

This is exciting to see. I run some latency sensitive code on Lambda with the Node runtime, so cold starts are troublesome. I hope I'll be able to use this one it's in beta or full…

Distributing your backup over the spare storage of many other NAS servers is the main idea behind Storj, which provides a remarkably cheap price per TB per month.

It is done, albeit rarely due to how expensive and complex an operation it is. My friend's mother moved her house a few kilometers across some farmland. It was a rather large 2 sto…

If they sell their land, then presumably they'd receive a substantial windfall with which they could buy a new cheaper place, or rent. If they don't receive a substantial windfall,…

Assuming the tax is high enough (or grows over time to become high enough) to offset the negative externalities, and that the money raised is used to offset negative externalities,…
