Yeah this whole exercise was completely illegal and I'm surprised this person publicly (and proudly) blogged about it like this. They probably need to engage an attorney now.

USA is presently in the midst of a massive offshoring of software jobs which will only continue to accelerate as AI becomes better. These are "white collar" jobs that will never come back.

It doesn't matter where the null came from, if the language silently allows it then every skill level of engineer will make the mistake.

I guess "bizarre in the 21st century" would be more accurate.

That is still the most bizarre error handling pattern that is just completely accepted by the Go community. And after a decade of trying to fix it, the Go team just recently said that they've given up.

Clearly a translation from English. Which is funny since there are no native English-speaking languages in the EU anymore (Ireland's first official language is not English). But also, it's amazing that the EU can function at all

I like DNS that blocks known trackers and ads. To me that means my internet is safer.

There are multiple internet services down, not just GCP. It's just possible that this "Chemist" service is especially externally affected which is why the failures are propagating to the their internal GCP network services.

Yep and like I said, I'm interested in Zig. But it's still somewhat discouraging as a C replacement just because it seems to still have all the same problems but without the decades of tools and static analyzers to help out. But

Oh I wasn't comparing to Rust. But just a quick glance between the two repos shows a pretty big difference between the nature of the "segfault" issues reported. yikes... https://github.com/ziglang/zig&#x

I'm interested in Zig but kind of discouraged by the 30 pages of open issues mentioning "segfault" on their Github tracker. It's disheartening for a systems programming language being developed in the 21st century.

The major benefit of this approach is that you can avoid a database lookup when you have a valid JWT available. Only in cases where it's missing or expired would you need to hit the database for a refresh token. This might not matter

We're seeing a convergence of document DBs adding relational features, and relational DBs adding document features. At this point I find the best of both worlds to simply be PG with JSONB. create table document ( id uuid pr

Am I wrong in thinking that this is duplicating lines in memory repeatedly when buffering lines into batches, and then submitting batches to threads? And then again when calling the line processor? Seems like it might be a memory hog

Django ORM is great if you want it to manage your entire data model and are OK with living entirely within it's little world. But it can't support even basic stuff like composite primary keys, complex filters in a join clause, or
