The article name describes Tailwind exactly for me. I personally am a fan of schematic html/css. I remember the days off CSS Zen Garden, with well marked up html you can change the visual look completely by swapping out the style sheet

I agree with all that. DevOps is similar to agile. Originally they both described a set of principles, an ethos, not a specific role. DevOps was your development team work closely with ops as one team, using software engineering practices,

In the UK they are called “breakers” i.e. motor breakers, bike breakers, car breakers etc. Since the early 2000s I’ve been buying used vehicle parts from these off eBay. One of my local shops closed the physical store and went eBay only in

A lot of the news I see related to Canadas property issues is related to pension funds owning a large amount of property so using their size to constantly rotate tenants then increasing prices for new tenants.

That’s the thing. A home should not be an “investment”, it should be a “home”, a home to live and give safety/security, not land, bricks and mortar someone purchases to make a capital gain or rental yield. Why do people want a “home”?

To use R2 you’d need to host images/assets separately on their own domain rather than just put a CDN infront of your entire site and forget about it. Putting assets on their own domain isn’t uncommon but for some stuff it can be a big

It’s not uncommon. I’ve twenty plus years experience building software on the JVM. From EJB’s of early 2000s to original Spring, then the more recent Spring Boot, a plethora of other JVM tooling. Then I’ve used various languages on top of t

I’m increasingly accidentally clicking ads on Google search. When it happens I’m sure I’m in an A/B test with ads in search results at the bottom of the page blended in to look like results. Searching for products or manufactures is no

Given the PR recently with Apple calling people back to the office you would think they’d be leading by example and moving back to in person events again.

I see this in most single page apps. They have a waterfall of multiple API requests by the browser to display a single page. That means the front end has a bunch of logic to aggregate and piece together requests. This in itself isn’t a big

This argument gets posted for nearly every [insert language name] that isn’t JS/Java/Python. It’s not to hard to learn. The Rust web stack is fairly simple and easy to get going with in a few days. Good developers use many languag

I noticed this. Not Google but I worked at a mid-size US based company briefly last year. The team was junior but senior in titles and highly opinionated, that was why I ended up leaving as nothing was getting done. Not last week I got a bu

With managed runtimes it used to be you had no control. It was an opaque black box with complete vendor lock-in. Now it supports Containers it’s a place you can run any compute you can think of as long as it finishes in 15 minutes, uses les

Of course 90% will use zip packages, container support is relatively new in the lifetime of Lambda. Deprecating zip packages doesn’t mean zip packages no longer work, it means pretty much what they’ve done, ignored the managed runtimes with

They’ve provided custom runtimes which removes the need completely for managed runtimes giving you whatever version you like. They also did it in a way with Docker that’s simple and powerful. If I was an AWS exec I’d say managed runtimes ar

Australians treat property as pension funds. Pretty much every middle class person will have an investment property or holiday house. Airbnbs are popular, less requirements (no tenant rights)/more flexibility from a land lords point of

Nice design. I miss the 2000s forums. They were a great source of information that was easy to read, search and for search engines to index. As the posts where often by enthusiasts they were a treasure trove, especially the automotive forum

Java web applications I’d describe as “boring technology” if you want typical rest applications with SPA frontend or a full stack server side rendered (SSR) app. By boring I mean it works with little fuss or churn. Depending on your scale&#

Yes. Not to bothered about the account sharing but it’s looking like it may add a bunch of friction to use Netflix away from your primary residence/device. If the friction becomes to much, Netflix looses its value and illegal downloads

I was looking at LiteFS docs yesterday as it happens. Does it support snapshots? From what I could work out, when you start a non primary instance it catches up from the primary? So if your replica is a fresh instance it replicates the enti
