Main problem, not just from Apple, is that as phone tech gets standardized and more long-lasting the software support cycles have not gotten longer. It is abysmal that Android phone makers still need to customize the OS so much for their ha

I don't get what you mean, electric scooters are already a thing? At least in most countries in Europe they are classified the same type of vehicle as pedal-assisted e-bicycles and are capped at 25km/h and can ride in the bike lan

This is one of the main use cases for Webassembly outside of the browser. I think we will soon see the ability to write plugins that can even run server-side of SaaS solutions.

Pretty much any null pointer deference error ever? But it is hardly ever the weak type system that is at fault, just good use of a stronger type system could have prevented the issue. Once you start to make "invalid states unpresentabl

I remember when I first got out of uni and did backend Java development, I thought I was incredibly productive because of the sheer amount of typing and code I had to pump out. After doing a bit of frontend JS I was quickly dissuaded of tha

I like to say this: "Only my code is allowed to be clever" But, on a serious note, I agree with you. Go lacks a lot of power, especially in its type system, that causes a ton of problems (and downtime) that in other languages is t

Software development evolved well past the point of solving problems, now it is just plugging solutions. Very few people actually work in novel stuff these days...

There must be SaaS services offering managed databases on different providers, like you buy the servers they put the software and host backups for you. Anyone got any tips?

The main difference is that in Sweden you don't need to do any paperwork to claim it, it is automatic. The thing with these kind of benefits is that the bureucracy involved in dispensing them often costs close (or more) than the money

I dunno, it does sound like significant work and way outside my (and most devs) area of expertise. I can definitely supervise a managed RDBMS (like RDS) by myself without help on the side even though I am no dba. A mismanaged VPS is downtim

If the child are registered with the tax authority and have a personnummer (ID number) then the parents get it at their tax-authority registered bank account. About that kind of fraud I never heard anything like that in Sweden, but I would

Yes, sorry I mis-explained the 16-year thing. I think one highlight of that is that the benefit shifts to being paid by the CSN (Sweden board of student finance, they are the ones who provide subsidized student loans as well) and it is tied

In Sweden everyone gets around 110 euro per month as a child subsidy, you don't even need to apply. It just shows up in your bank account. At age 16 the benefit goes directly to the child.

I never had problems with RDS backup, but I never used it a ton or had really large DBs in it. What problems did you ran into?

by DanielHB 1y ago
Managing database backups myself is something that gives me nightmares. I would refuse to use bare-metal dbs unless I have a dedicated team just to manage the database (or data that is okay to lose, like caching layers).
