Another reason is how much the standard library provided (csv, zip, so much). The XKCD comic says it all https://xkcd.com/353/ In a world before good dependency and package management, being able to do most things usi

We setup each project with it's own subdomain... so a /etc/hosts file would be something like 127.0.0.1 client7.companyname.dev our-amazing-product.companyname.dev postgres2.companyname.dev So, then we can use the same settin

Or, it's super easy to roll your own using letsencrypt. 1. Buy your own public domain (such as companyname.dev) 2. Setup a LetsEncrypt wildcard certificate with DNS validation 3. Update your /etc/hosts to something like `127.

Both REST and GraphQL API's can be well designed, or badly designed. While I'm a GraphQL fanboy, I would much prefer integrating with a well design REST API over a badly designed GraphQL API. Having spent over 15 years integratin

This! But I'll add one more: "Standardisation". Every RESTful API uses different URL paths, naming schemes, HTTP verbs, data structures, headers. Whereas those are defined by the GraphQL spec. When consuming or creating a G

I wonder if the compiler could be adapted to target other platforms, such as desktop, mobile, WebAssembly, or WASI? TypeScript is a wonderful language to develop in, and it would be awesome to be able to build TypeScript code down to small

Integza is hilarious! In some of his older videos (before having real sponsors) he would create fake sponsored segments. Those were the best!

That's all well and good, but my app got deleted because they told me an app cannot be a webview of a website. When I raised an appeal, and proved to them how it was a self contained app, they told me an app cannot be a webview of a we

If you use tools like this you run a high risk of having your app banned. Google Play strongly enforce their policy about how an app cannot be something that duplicates the functionality of a website. Example: Years ago I wrote a simple htm

That's really nice! Another commenter mentioned the Willy Weather API, which uses BOM data and has a generous free tier. Not sure if that would enable you to make it Australia Wide at a reasonable cost? https://www.willywe

The latest version of the official app has 90mins of future "modeled" rain radar. I couldn't find that quickly on the website.

About 10 years ago, I dropped into our local meteorology office on my lunch break to ask about the weather for a week long bush walk I had planned. It was amazing too see how much local knowledge the guy there could apply to the official B

by Humphrey 4y ago
As an Australian, my main issue with almost all Weather API's and services is that the data is almost always sub-par to the weather data provided by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). It would be great if there was a backend provider con

Yes, and in other countries, such as Australia, the fractional part of this has been abolished - eg, banks in Australia don't have to keep 10% in their vaults.

Yes! As an example, if you borrow money from a bank to buy a house: - the bank literally creates that money out of thin air to pay for the house. - that is new money, and therefore the total money supply (of your entire currency) is incr

How would this go as a Django replacement? I still use Django for new projects, but find that I end up just putting a GraphQL API on top of the Django ORM. At face value, Ent seems to tick both those boxes, but with the efficiency of a co
