I fully agree. Even though I don't own a touchbar MBP. I even choose to go with the older model because the touchbar could not be incorporated into my current workflow, even if it was great, as there is no separate keyboard with integr

"3 factor app" immediately clicked with the 12 factor app with me. I was hoping on a reduced approach of the 12 factor app due to modern developments. But they mention they are different factors from what 12 factor describes: >

My fear is Azure will build solutions specific for a customer which might never be used by other customers. So that solution is a special case in a homogeneous cloud platform with all its own problems. For example, I feel I can trust S3 bec

The best coding styles are the ones that allow to be translated back and forth to another style. It doesn't matter which style you prefer. As long as a computer can pick it up and translate it into the project standard style and back t

Don't forget that a lot of the customer base for Mikrotik is in remote locations (ie: P2P connections in rural areas) or small ISPs. Having the router in your office die on you (even during office hours) is a little different than all

Only issue I sometimes had with updates is limited memory (on the lowend hap lite devices). Often a reboot before upgrade download was enough to solve that. But the standard upgrade procedure is to put the new firmware image in the filesyst

At least the kwargs word is googleable. So it is relatively easy to find documentation. Unlike list comprehensions which are really hard to google until you know the name.

But it often turns out there is more complexity in the problem that is ignored/forgotten in the solution. So the solution seems simple and complete at first but can never gain adoption beyond all but the most basic use cases, so it end

I mostly manage my device setups with CLI/webfig. Sometimes winbox in wine as it is a little more reliable in mac-telnet then 'non-official' clients. But I long for some centralised configuration management. Even on small net

The problem with function names is that there are other factors that decide them. Conciseness of code being one. And as I commented below. At the time you write code it might not be obvious it will turn into a function. With a proper commen
