Function instances should stay alive for a certain amount of time. But you will pay the cold start price one way or another, so naively using Spring Boot is probably not a good ide…

We had a small course in university on esoteric programming language. Each of us had to select a language (Brainfuck, Piet and a few others) and play around with it. I chose Piet a…

Looks interesting. Does anyone have a good example that uses Client Components?

The best thing is that it does not seem to hard to extend KOReader to your liking (e.g. by writing plugins). On the other hand, I've had a hard time understanding the the actual Lu…

I do often use this feature but sometimes fear I missing out because of some deliberate decisions by the author. Not sure if that worry is really warranted.

Seveneves was really good. Almost feeling the urge to read it again!

Designing Data Intensive Applications is really good, because it gives you an good overview of data systems. I had the feeling I don't have to understand all the details yet I woul…

My own name is actually only used in the very country I live in. Unexpectedly, my daughter's name is apparently also used in Arabic countries, it means something like "Gift from Al…

Although I had absolute no idea what I was doing when we played around with Agda in university, it was kind of fun constructing a few very basic proofs. It kind of felt like smashi…

The worst thing is how often developers almost fatalistically accept that testing sucks. I don't blame them though because improving the test infrastructure has little short-term b…

I'd love to try all those ergonomic keyboards, but the most ergonomic thing for me still is a Thinkpad-style trackpoint.

Thanks! I was only aware of a Zones proposal which was withdrawn I think.

A few of my colleagues and I had the silly (?) idea that you don't really need logs anymore. Instead of log messages you just attach span events [0]. You then just log the span tit…

I think with native Promises (and async/await?) there is currently no way to implement something like Zone.js properly. I've tried to instrument my code manually, but it's really e…

Notes never really worked for me previously, but somehow I got it working with logseq [1] (it doesn't really matter which Roam-like tool you use). I feels like some kind of super p…

Yeah, that always works, of course, even though you might want to externalize certain dependencies still. In this case I don't want to bundle the code (although I might end up doin…

That's correct. However, I've tried to use prune now, not sure if I am using it correctly, but that's why I do: I build my packages regularly (not pruned), then I prune with scope …

Can Prune be used to build a bundle (as in a zip) for, say AWS Lambda, which includes only the dependencies (and not dev dependencies)? I've played around with pnpm's deploy but it…

Having navigational keys on the home row is something every software developer should use (but almost no one does). Unlike Vim-style keybindings it just works everywhere. Personall…

I am currently using yjs. What would be the equivalent way as described here [0] for yjs to sync docs in Automerge? I don't need any WebSockets or real time stuff. It always seemed…

There was also a different proposal that allows objects to be extended: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-bind-operator Personally, I don't use classes much, but sometimes I think f…

Spatial navigation is a feature I really do miss. I don't think any other browser supports this. It made keyboard-based browsing possible without resorting to stuff like hit-a-hint…

I've actually met the author of HerbstluftWM at the Konferenz der Informatikfachschaften (national student association meeting in computer science). Very approachable person. Coinc…

> We are working on this as we speak! Perfect! > However, it sounds like you like to see glob fan out of tasks. Yes, the idea here being that I don't want to list all similar tasks…

Turborepo is really good, but there are a few things I like to see implemented: * tasks on the root package (e.g. tsc -b that typechecks all packages) * treat tasks such as lint:es…
