no, but you can definitely talk about it. i also had a chat with a C++ dev that created a "Database"-class abstraction for our MongoDB instance and implemented methods to access each field of every documents separately - didn&#x27

It could also mean they stick around just as long as to notice that they have to deal with the consequences of the decisions they inherited and cannot change.

SPAs and REST APIs moved a lot of the complexity around data to the client side. GraphQL moved it back to the server side. I think that's a reasonable decision, as the client - compared to the server - runs in a much more unpredictable

I also just finished Thinking in Systems and really liked it. I think Feedback Control for Computer Systems[0] is a bit more on the side of a working software engineer (python2 though). Probabilistic Robotics[1] is also an technical approac

Solved this by manually removing the piezo from the microwave of a flatmate... so annoying.

There was once a thread here on hacker news about missing features of operating systems, as such a thing could only be achieved on OS level... can't find it anymore, unfortunately. It was mentioned that passwords etc. could be a nightm

except for the autogenerated docs, you can also make use of Pydantic in Flask easily to validate your models with Flask-Pydantic[0] [0]: https://github.com/bauerji/flask-pydantic

i think the discussion style of the "the little" series is quite nice to introduce concepts. it feels like i'd observe a discussion between two experienced people.

Agree here. Programming is a social discipline that should encourage discussions, rather than the enforcement of dogmas. I once worked in a team where the goal for a PR was to have as little lines changed as possible - never again.

memoization is a means of simple optimization to speed up a program, just like GP wrote. you exchange the cost of executing a function with the cost of memory utilization. say you memoize a function that is referentially transparent, needs

tbh i never ran into such an issue with my applications and it sounds to me like a physical constraint: i don't expect to be able to keep something cached in memory that is larger than the available memory. if i would see myself optimi

I only need invalidation policies if i want to cache functions that aren't referentially transparent.

I just read through your post on servers[1], as I'm currently in a similar boat (webdev working with C++ devs). I think the biggest hurdle for such developers are things like: - statelessness of the server (REST) - the lifecycle of a s

we considered PouchDB[1] (client) and CouchDB[2] (server) for an PWA back then (2017). nowadays i would probably favor WatermelonDB[3]. [1]: https://pouchdb.com/ [2]: https://couchdb.apache.org/ [3]: https

I have to give Elektron some credit on how consistent their design language in the Digi-/-takt family of products is. Since the first showcase of the Digitakt in 2017, that brings it to 5+ years of consistency - that has to be really r

From your link: > An HTTP method is idempotent if an identical request can be made once or several times in a row with the same effect while leaving the server in the same state. Which is according to what OP wrote. I wouldn't trans

Frankly, time doesn't work that way... if i am atm (CET) and i make an appointment for sometime in summer 2022 (CEST), then i don't expect the hair salon to make the appointment in CET.

You seem to make a contradicting statement here with what you wrote in the sibling comment, no? timezone information are influenced by political means, whereas localization (lat/long) information is not. UTC timestamp + localization se

As far as i'm aware, you should only store the location next to the timestamp and let the IANA[1] do the maintenance of the tz database. Please avoid the housekeeping on your side. [1] https://www.iana.org/time-zones

1. MITMProxy[1] is scriptable (Python API) to modify requests/responses, or HTTP ToolKit[2] seems to be more on the non-code side (haven't used it). 2. Sure, but there's not much value in it. An API is the available contract

you are referring to the "tally light", which uses a very limited range of values, usually 2 (off/red) or 3 (off/red/green) in a studio setting. since this here is a continuous value (based on multiple parameters) i
