Are you talking about their backend tech specifically? Because the MS Teams frontend is lacking far behind Discord in terms of polish. It has 5% of the features and already performs like a bloated mess. It's hard to tell how robust the

Yep, it's a direct quote I remembered from the Changelog Podcast #201 "Why SQLite succeeded as a database" starting at timestamp 15:58 https://changelog.com/podcast/201

> SQLite is called ‘lite’ for a reason. If you need functions, add them yourself. Most people I know, myself included, pronounce it that way. But Richard Hipp, the creator of SQLite, actually pronounces it SQL-ite, like a mineral.

I got a function that assigned the same expression to three variables. Then it declared a void function with documentation stating "returns true on success, false otherwise". Apparently that code was written by a human, which make

I've used online diff checkers in the past for their convenience, but in the end I went out of my way to find a convenient way to quickly diff two texts locally. It's not that I believe that online diff checkers upload the content

The same could be achieved by having the server return different views of the data for different HTTP Accept headers, although not as convenient as appending a file extension. I once did this to interpolate REST API responses into dedicated

I think having a backup solution is the better choice here. You can use your SSDs until they die or become too slow, and you won't lose your data if it breaks before you replace it after a year

For me one of the biggest advantages of using GraphQL is that clients consuming data can directly express what they want. The backend implementation can then do all sorts of magic to turn intent into execution. Regarding the n+1 problem: of

It sounds like you interpreted malux85 suggestion as cutting the bot off from putting things in the cart altogether. What I understood is that, given it's recognizable by user agent, those carts can be marked as created by a bot to exc

The modal that pops up is not in the dom until you click the "See details" link, which has target="javascript:;". The "Add to cart" button is an actual link. I wouldn't be surprised if Google just doesn&#x

Regarding metadata: Considering windows already lets you strip metadata from images directly from the properties menu, is there anything this tool or other metadata stripping tools do that goes beyond what windows offers? Is it risky to rel

Isn't that a good thing? If a thing does X, I'd very much like to know what other things do X as well to try and understand how they differ.

I found myself using msgpack as a drop-in alternative for acceptable mimetypes for HTTP responses in a flask app. Browsers would get the response data with the pretty-printed json embedded (or even a custom template with the data fitted in,

If you want to see Herb Sutter's take on exceptions (and RTTI), I can really recommend this talk where he explores his Result-esque (like in Rust) solution that he wrote a paper about and proposes for standardisation: https:/&#x2

I had to use ffmpeg from within python once and gave ffmpeg-python a shot. It works very nicely for a lot of things, but had some limitations that made me write a very lightweight, somewhat OO wrapper around ffmpeg filters. Using it to e.g.

There are cases where I very much prefer a declarative style. Multiplying matrices for example. Depending on the context, I will know what it does conceptually, but don't want to see the implementation, as it probably won't matter

I don't know the reasons behind that policy, but I'd guess with the exploit already being used, there is less incentive to keep silent about the issue. The opposite is true: putting more pressure on the vendors to provide patches,
