I don't understand what you mean by easier way, because it's always going to be a script. Unless you mean some low code/no cool tool that was already tailor made to do this. If you're worried about data not fitting in me

No, I am adamant that "sequel" is worse than "ess que ell". Most people who learned SQL on their own already call it "ess que ell" (a lot of my colleagues at work), because they never had a greybeard over their

I can't believe they changed this too. It's like context doesn't matter, as though "Man" wasn't used in a gender-neutral way in the term "Man-In-The-Middle". People are free to choose to say PITM inst

TL;DR the author settled on Tailwind. I prefer Tachyons myself (less overhead). I agree that functional/atomic CSS is the way to go. Separation Of Concerns (HTML <-> CSS) is a LIE. Naming is one of the hardest things in computer

This speaks more as a testament to your web developer skills (at 16!) than your actual value as an... AI startup. Keep it up, your career should be rosy.

Yes, it's this line that gives the hint that the author means Typescript when they mention they will "often times push back on changes that add more complexity in the type system". They're referring to code that tries to

So this is an argument for the Imperial system. It's never stated in the post, but if you don't like the Metric system then what are you arguing for? There's only the Imperial system left. Here is why the Imperial system is b

Then what's your point? Writing fewer lines of code in a less powerful language to accomplish the same thing as JavaScript is not KISS? React is web scale, use React?

It's true. The easiest code to read is the code you wrote yourself. To read other people's code, you have to decode it. And it's very easy to write convoluted "clever" code that you yourself will not be able to read

On Windows only? Then just download AutoHotKey, good lord. It was made for this (and it's free!). They're called hotstrings and they're a first class citizen in AutoHotKey. Personally I would not rely on these because the m

Tests are very much a "if you liked it then you shoulda put a test on it" thing. If some end-user property is desirable to you, make sure a test covers it so that you can be sure it still works that way. This is a godsend when doi

It doesn't even run on mobile because the sidebar takes up all the space and the main content is squeezed to the side. Even more disappointing to learn that what is essentially a static webpage doesn't render without JavaScript.

I had to re-read OP's post multiple times just to understand that he was trying to serve static HTML pages alongside a Rust application at /api. It's not very clear, he only mentions the Rust server for the first time at the

A build step is absolutely my issue with Tailwind. Tailwind tries to ship with every single style you need, as a result it needs a build step to purge unused CSS. On the other hand, Tachyons CSS (which came out before Tailwind) provides 20%

Fun fact: `go run .` was retrofitted on after `go run main.go` because go run was initially designed to only accept explicit filenames as an argument [1]. I can't imagine how people used to use `go run` without the ability to specify w

Wow, what an incredibly low quality article (TL;DR the questions are hard because the interviewer wants to lord it over the candidate) for something behind a paywall. And he ends with a call to upvote and follow, classy.
