Go back a little bit further to another Morgan Freeman movie - Se7en (1995) and a big plot point was that it is unthinkable for big brother to be keeping records of what library bo…

I don't disagree with the advice (especially for long lived tokens), but query parameters are encrypted during transit with https. You still need to worry about server access logs,…

It is definitely a new frontier. How do you review a game that isn't reproducible? Similarly how do you do play testing? You don't get the same "shared experience" outside of multi…

You can use the same techniques except with the smaller int64 space - see e.g. Snowflake ID - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_ID

A taxidermist.

Or similarly the difference between reading/listening to a foreign language vs. writing/speaking one. Knowing how to read code or learn algorithms or design is different than actua…

> "Underlying ideas" means cherry-picking opinions that suit your fancy while ignoring those that don't. Yes, that is how terminology evolves to not meet a rigid definition that wa…

You can remove JSON fields at the cost of breaking your clients at runtime that expect those fields. Of course the same can happen with any deserialization libraries, but protobufs…

The request / data fetching is interesting in how "easy" it is to write. I did basic perusal of the examples, but I'd be interested to see what it looks like with rate-limited endp…

I felt the same - have to relearn/lookup everything every time I went back to a project or wanted to do some operations that are simple to describe in SQL but I couldn't wrap my mi…

I do the same, though my muscle memory is `1=1` instead of `true`. Of course then you get editors/linters/coworkers that always point out that the 'true' is unnecessary. This also …

Sharding, pre-allocating leases of blocks of tickets across available resources, and eventual consistency. You don't need to keep the UX transactionally correct; you are able to sa…

I would also say that could account for the download count differences between the projects. Django may still be used for more monolithic applications whereas Flask and FastAPI may…

This type of stance is what de-popularized the Elm language. Don't get me wrong - I wish the best for both languages and am thoroughly impressed by the work of their creators. I ca…

These types of graphs are also possible using D3.js. The "Chord diagam II" example references Circos implementation - https://observablehq.com/@d3/chord-diagram/2?intent=fork

Java Mission Control [0] has a button to toggle for displaying the profile as thread roots or method roots for this purpose. I am not imaginative enough to come up with a visualiza…

As a university project I created a Morse code transmitter and receiver circuit that used the same type of LED on both sides. It worked pretty well up to a few inches apart.

I assume this is a good spot to give a shout-out for the Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest podcast - kid-friendly story-telling podcast great for long car rides. The author likes to point o…

I would say the reverse is true though - great teachers are able to spark interest on a subject that students may otherwise not care about. But I agree that that expectation should…

Pieter Hintjens who started ZeroMQ, advocated for 'optimistic merging' as a strategy to encourage community & project building [1] (prev discussed in [2]). For all of the benefits …

I'm thinking that it is largely psychological/OCD tendencies that affect programmers at different magnitudes. It can sometimes be difficult to not be distracted by the minor style …

The basics: Good picture quality & resolution (e.g. LG panel), no (or replaceable) smart features, no forced ads / tracking, fast startup, wide variety of inputs would be bonus tho…

I've thought the same quite a bit. On one end of the spectrum you could use something like SVG if there were standard or dominant tools used to import/export, but then you lose the…

It doesn't include validators for TOML and INI, but if you're doing JSON and YAML, I would take a look at using or building upon CUE ( https://cuelang.org/ ). It is a different tak…

Genuinely curious what your experiences of postgres programming you are fond of. Are you talking about functions & procedures in pgsql or are you using an extension to enable a dif…
