Nice. I’ve noticed that many light themes use relatively bright colours for text, and I’m finding them increasingly difficult to read. The orange used in the explorer view is just …

The largest table was 100 million rows. They could have had hundreds more tables.

I'm still surprised What3Words isn't more popular outside of the UK.

What sort of quirks have you run into? I find myself having to STRAIGHT_JOIN more often than I would like because it simply won’t generate sensible execution plans sometimes.

> Generally friends don't let friends use Mysql What drives this sentiment?

Wonder why. We’ve got thousands of conditionally rendered components on a pretty interactive scheduling screen. One click can affect all of them but everything feels instantaneous.…

This is the one thing I wish I checked more thoroughly before I moved 5 domains from Gmail to Fastmail.

Yeah, interesting. In The Netherlands it is commonly used to mean "more or less", or "approximately", unless it is used in formulas.

How would you interpret “+/- 10 years”?

I found out about a WSL feature specific to Windows 11 today, after exporting an image from my Windows 11 laptop to my Windows 10 desktop. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/…

I don't find these kinds of what-ifs very useful. I haven't used Rails, but does it somehow prevent you from accepting user input and programming it to go where you say you want it…

I deleted mine from Facebook years ago, and it periodically still tries to entice me to verify my number with it prefilled. With that said my details do not appear to have leaked.

I've had several of our users call up over the years, angrily asking why we made certain fields in our app "dropdowns" with rubbish in them. Chrome decided to add autocomplete to s…

Even a Google search for it doesn't bring it up. Plenty of fanfare about the launch, but no actual product. Already lost interest.

I too can't shake the feeling that hooks are off. I like JSX and the component model. In React and like-minded projects, I look at a stack trace and see that it starts at some kind…

Ah yes, the dirty "but it was dishwashed!" utensils with yesterweek's meal still attached. One thing I do not miss about working in an office!

I do appreciate those rules because they lead to a higher quality listing. I had a bugfix update rejected a little while ago for a business app. Apple wanted a video walkthrough of…

I listen to a few infosec podcasts when I'm out and about, and Spotify frequently forgets how far into an episode I am, or it just randomly jumps back half an hour. Only when I rea…

Could you elaborate on this?

I cross a particularly busy intersection here in Melbourne as a pedestrian every day. At least once a week I see people who are too busy playing with their phones to realise all th…

If the `x` in the example was a const, it would throw an error because the code attempts to assign the value of `y` to `x`. You cannot assign a new value to a const.

You could still use MobX 4 though. It's equally well maintained.

The Nexus 5X is a nice device. How long have you had it for?

I'm not the only one then. "failures" instead of "fails" would've been clearer.

Thanks for this! I've recently been asked how much data our React Native app uses. I totally hadn't thought of using Axios' interceptors to track this. So obvious!
