I love absolutely everything about this… except for the lack of cross-platform support. I know how ludicrous it is to expect that, but… most workflows I’m considering solutions lik…

I would take the other side of that bet. # if >10 then was_created_by_agent = true $ grep -oP '\p{Emoji}' vulns.md | wc -l

I find it kind of baffling that this toolkit is so popular when it makes handling database joins so difficult. After bashing my head against it for a while, I moved to Diesel, and …

I suspect they meant “scenario”.

I almost gave up on Leptos, because I was trying to use it with Actix, which it supports less-well than it does Axum (and I’m too stubborn for my own good and wouldn’t switch). I c…

What an absolutely delightful little project and write up.

A number of US federal agencies still have astonishing amounts of it. The world’s largest insurer, Medicare, uses 10M+ lines of COBOL to process the claims it receives — total doll…

From personal experience, it scales very well vertically. Have a system in production with tens of billions of rows and north of 12 TB of storage total. That system is read-heavy w…

You and I must work in very different contexts, as these questions are so obvious that they first seemed like satire to me. You enforce API contracts in a monolith (or any codebase…

Looks perfect for me with one show stopper: no Home Kit support. I love the idea of Home Assistant but do not have the free time to pick up another service to support in our house.…

Nu is using a data frame abstraction to drive this and it’s really quite powerful and fast. I was rather skeptical on the value of having this stuff as a shell built in, but it won…

I’ve used Synthea for a whole assortment of small and large projects and it’s been boring in the best possible way: reliable and easy to use. I’ve also had the pleasure of working …

I don’t really understand how any file system designed in the last 20 years could be lacking data checksums. Data integrity is job #1, and yet.

“Year of Efficiency”? Hoo boy… is Zuck picking up his management strategies from a podcast/YouTube channel? I mean, I shouldn’t/wouldn’t be surprised by that but still, wow. Playin…

Man, playing with Mindstorms is some of the most fun I’ve had as an adult. This announcement is a shame. I spent some time going through all of their basic examples in Rust, which …

To extend that line of argument a bit, what about a more professional tool/system, e.g. cherry pickers? Doesn’t it seem reasonable to you to design and engineer cherry pickers such…

“It helps build fast rendering sites, sometimes even sub-second renders…” That has to be a typo, right? Or sarcasm? I weep for what we’ve all done to the beautiful speed and simpli…

“We are raising your plan’s rates.” versus: “The plan’s rates have gone up.”

That… is not my understanding of the word “salary”; this article is conflating it with total compensation. Rather confusing.

Very pretty. Hilariously dangerous and user unfriendly for anyone with kids.

Underexplained, permanent system config changes? That just about counts as malware, in my book. (Since I use sway on Ubuntu, rather than gdm, I’d argue it’s a capital offense, but …

From their What’s New: “ Flutter now supports variable refresh rate on iOS devices with ProMotion displays, including iPhone 13 Pro and iPad Pro. On these devices, Flutter apps can…

I’m really not clear what’s going on with the null implementations… aren’t those just very boring mocks?

This is all true, but incomplete in some important ways, I think. The losses can be somewhat mitigated. As mikewarot’s comment here hints, you can slow down the meetings and take c…
