Worth mentioning that virtual nodes also ensure that the order of servers is random. Which helps when a server is removed - the keys that need to be moved will be spread across all…

I am not sure I understand your confusion but here's a few pointers in no particular order: - the argument passed to useState is initial state, not "forever state". It will seed pr…

You could argue investing in Coinbase had lower risk than investing in Bitcoin directly (was it?). Then the risk adjusted return would be even better.

Exactly! I get blamed for cheating and reported (trust me I don't) so I whenever I play matchmaking I'm also in the "likely cheater" group. That's why I play on third party server …

> A huge benefit that tools like Hasura, Postgraphile and PostgREST provide is using the native in-database row level security model. I agree with your overall comment. Note that H…

One way I try to combat that is by forcing myself to do things the simplest way (unless I am aware I'm making a technical decision I can't change later). Then I try to add more com…

> At least the first two of them are type wrappers for strings - opaque to the type checker, but transparent to the runtime. Rust and Haskell have wrappers like this. Typescript do…

To prevent existing code that relies on it from breaking.

What are good examples of Reinvest Software? My guess would be Amazon, but what others?

Maybe try Dragon, Fly! It is quite similar.

I don't disagree overall but I'm using SQLAlchemy (Python) on a daily basis and it works quite well. I agree that if you are building ORM with the intention of hiding so many SQL d…

Tested and it works, as long as you haven't finished downloading and applying the updates.

Is that going to help against checking with the Internet Archive? I've used the Internet Archive to read versions of reddit comments when they were deleted (but not to dox people).…

I wonder if all reports of poor battery life are from users of MBP with touch bar. It is interesting that the non-touch bar MBP has a ~10% bigger battery, half the TDP under sustai…

You can see all the existing sessions and authorised applications from their website. It is not perfect and it is extra work to go through those and delete them, but at least there…

You can add to this list websites with programming challenges that also have some form of "candidate profile". HackerRank is one such site.

Does that mean that for small personal projects, it is acceptable to include jQuery 2 and Bootstrap everywhere, even if custom JS and CSS are a total of 100 lines of code? AJAX usi…

In the thread today about the size of Doom compared to a modern webpage [1], it was mentioned a number of times that including jQuery, Bootstrap, etc. even for the smallest of webs…

I think your last point is important. I don't think shell script writers should be concerned about Solaris/BSD if they are confident that they will use their scripts only in enviro…

I have a question regarding the difference between the "concurrent" and "limit" parameters seen here [1]. I understand that if I'm running a managing runner in machine mode with li…

They should probably rate limit in a sensible way.

The only reason I can't really use Windows as development OS are the inferior terminal emulators. As good as ConEmu is, it is still worse than Terminator etc. Unless I can run a na…
