Ads in the streets fund surprisingly little. I've spent energy and time finding out how much my local govt got from these ads and learned three things. They don't want to tell, because it's embarrassing small amounts. They do

I know (I have family there, and near the beaches). But "cold" is relative. I've had temps as low as 14℃ (57F) in Chiang Rai, Pai and near Udon Thani. And while that may be "freezing" to people used to tropical clim

Indeed! It's one of the reasons I like the adapter pattern (aka hexagonal architecture) so much. Data flowing through some 100 classes and 300 conditionals then into a `memory-payments` and back takes mere milliseconds. "Memory pa

Anecdotally, but at least three studio's and designers I work with switched to Figma because "it became Adobe". They made the switch because Adobe gave it some sort of "stamp of approval". From two, I'm certai

You are either extremely unlucky or chose a very strange setup. The problems you describe were common in early 2000s, but haven't been common in Linux desktop for a decade or so. For those reading above and thinking "I'll ski

No need to be condescending. ES and ED architectures have good use-cases. And CRUD has good use-cases, and RDMSes and time series and document databases. Non will ever fit perfectly and non are a silver bullet. Choosing the right architectu

It's not that Simple. Request-response isn't a factor to choose ES or ED architectures on. You can have request-response, inline, blocking, cycles with ES or ED. And you can have async without ES or ED just fine too (e.g. workers,

In event sourcing, as described in DDD, the aggregate is more important. So there (also) has to be an aggregate Id, that's non-unique (one aggregate has many events). Then, there's the optimistic locking system that you'll ne

I've had that idea for years. Two versions that I experimented with. One is where the incoming POW hashes contribute to hashing power for some blockchain mining. An alternative "pay as you use the API" system. The other using

I'm convinced that federating Threads offers two major benefits to Meta. And that this is why they have no incentive to EEE. First, federating is a clear signal to antitrust-bodies that, no, there is no monopoly. With the EU shifting g

I specifically asked the author if he could add some extra info on Builtwith. I can Google. But then I don't know if its truly the site the author was talking about. And I certainly don't know his or her insights on that site.

It reports that server resources like CPU time is a contributor. Not the main contributor, but significant nontheless. Could tools like newrelic, datadog or appsignal which already measure internal performance, be a solution here?

I was wondering on a tech solution for this lately. What I now do when I shop, is that I compare the images (and descriptions) of listings on Amazon, bol.com or Shopify with listings on Ali and Temu. If they're exactly the same, run. I

Not in all countries though. Amazon isn't present or popular, or as omnipresent in many countries. That's an opportunity, I guess.

Yup. Unfortunate indeed. It's 2023 and there is jinja, liquid, moustache and then some. Nothing extraordinary. Nothing truly cross language. I think that if the dice fell just slightly different, PHP could have taken that niche. Be the
