Do you think that, if you don't publish those salary bands, the employees in those different departments will somehow _not know_ that the other departments get paid more? Because, …

Interesting discussion here. I've been very happy with Gradle for my first major JVM project, a small Kotlin API with a simple build configuration ( https://github.com/thomasboyt/j…

I think this is a bit disingenuous to post. Your own website[1] says: > Supabase is an amalgamation of 5 open source tools (and growing). We don't have a simple way to install ever…

I've been interested in doing something like this ever since VSCode remote work has become stable. My main side project right now is a Kotlin backend, so I'm waiting for IntelliJ's…

> In the replies of a March 2 Tesla forum post announcing the 13-day countdown until the platform’s demise, one commenter with supposed “inside info” alleged that the forums were c…

Ah, gotcha. I actually do have a good use case for that as well (and do think they could go together nicely someday), so I'll still check it out!

This is both a great post and an effective ad - I've been looking for a lighter-weight Postman alternative (and HTTPie, while nice, is no substitute for a graphical UI for such a t…

Of course, in a post-IAP world, you can just charge users multiple $50 "best value" virtual currency purchases over several months, which they can then use to roll for video game i…

The technical details of Total Cookie Protection are going to be of interest to any web dev: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Pri... It's not enabled by def…

This is a neat gallery! I'm personally thinking of getting a split keyboard soon, but I'm so split on what I want. Currently using a Preonic and find the ortholinear/compact layout…

One of the most interesting 1.4/2.0 changes is first-class asyncio support, not just for core (the query builder) but for the ORM layer as well: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/c…

The traffic is really fucking bad, to be honest - I've been considering moving back to metro Atlanta post-pandemic (grew up in Gwinnett County, currently up in NYC, still go back t…

Thanks for linking this! It intuitively made some sense to me (no IPC/network overhead) but neat to see them point this out as an intentional advantage.

I've been building a web service on a cheapo DigitalOcean box lately, so I'm excited to see explorations in this space, especially with an eye towards staying cheap! I'd probably o…

I don't really understand this. I've never seen a package of plant-based meat and found myself confused, much in the same way I've never seen a carton of oat milk and thought it co…

I'm curious about both, and Rust for APIs in general. While I'm excited by the expressiveness of the language (compared to e.g. Go) and how robust the type system is. Right now, th…

Ah, thanks, I hadn't realized that's the underlying library! Runtime validation of types is absolutely the largest missing feature from TypeScript, IMO, so Pydantic is really impre…

I'm excited about Python's typing potential. I recently rewrote an API from TypeScript to Kotlin since I am fairly unhappy with the server-side TS ecosystem, but ran across https:/…

Wapo has more details about the structure of the union, which is apparently nontraditional and won't go through NLRB ratification: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01…

Have to say, there's a decent number of photos on his Twitter feed of him doing campaign events with folks who don't have masks on (though it looks like he himself was consistently…

Eh, it's a broadly popular policy with huge moderate appeal: https://news.gallup.com/poll/323582/support-legal-marijuana-... Centrist Democrats have been trying to get this moderat…

This is an odd thing to see widely published. I'm at a company that had a rather detailed negative article written about us, and we were warned about it internally shortly before i…

Don't forget the part where he sells the Cology domain and trademarks to another tech startup :) (I have quite a few friends who have some fondness for what Glitch-the-game was try…

Glad to see "throw on unhandled rejections" make it into Node, finally! I can stop carting around this little bit of code I used in every Node API I wrote: process.on('unhandledRej…

Sadly, if they tried your first suggestion, Spotify would almost certainly lock down developer access like Twitter has for their new API, requiring an application and manual approv…
