Cool project! Two suggestions, one serious, one frivolous: - I wonder if you could get more accurate results by using TCP or UDP instead of ICMP. I think traditional traceroute has an option to use UDP, mtr [1] can use TCP or UDP, and tcptr

At a recent job, we had slightly different containers for local dev; our backend containers (for a Go app) had Air [1] installed for live reloading, plus Delve [2] running inside the container for VS Code's debugger to connect to. We a

Not only the static languages, but the tooling around them; better type-driven autocomplete and solid support in editors that aren't as heavyweight as Visual Studio or Eclipse [1]. [1] I think that's what was popular in the Java w

The team at my first tech job did this; I left my computer unlocked and stepped away, came back to find "I" had sent a joking message to the team saying that I forgot to lock my computer. It definitely trained that habit into me,

My guess is that fully modeling MtG's rules in Datalog would take a lot more work, because MtG's rules are a lot more complex. Looking through the source for one of the freely-available game engines like https://github.

Thanks for linking that. The video description mentions they added WinForms to .NET Core in 3.0; maybe I was remembering the .NET Core 2.1/2.2 timeframe, when it wasn't supported in Core?

Oh, that's handy, I thought MS had stopped supporting it. Good to know that it's still going. I thought they had dropped support in one of the .NET Core versions, before .NET 5+.

My favorite example of this is the Third Imperial Faberge egg. It was made in 1887, seized by the Soviets during the Russian Revolution, and apparently sold abroad. It ended up in a flea market in the US in 2004, when a scrap dealer bought

Gotcha, interesting. 1.1 MB isn't too bad, especially with Cloudflare providing a local PoP. And if this is for Hocus, I'm guessing your frontend isn't used much on mobile devices with iffy connections. That writeup on diff

Given the amount of data breaches that have happened from S3 buckets being accidentally publicly accessible, it definitely makes sense to me.

Forgot to specify that I meant military purposes specifically, just edited it. I think the necessity of humans for scientific purposes is arguable , but it's definitely not as clear-cut.

It's arguably never been necessary to have humans in space (EDIT: for military purposes). The USAF's Manned Orbiting Laboratory program was cancelled back in the late sixties because even then, reconnaissance satellites worked w

Beyond unit tests, this seems like a great opportunity to leverage property-based testing, at least for pure functions; checking that both versions return the same results is an easy property to think of.

I've only been developing a few years, and I've already found one compiler bug, in Typescript's type-checker [1]. It's a bit easier to find compiler bugs when new features are getting added pretty frequently. [1] https:

I'm a little surprised too; I figured they would have their own DCs for their core control plane servers. Colos for their 300+ PoPs makes sense, though.

Yeah, that part really rubbed me the wrong way. If this was a full postmortem published a couple of weeks after the fact and Flexential still wasn't providing details, I could maybe see including it, but this post is the wrong place
