When I first read about the Pixel Pass, I wished it made sense for people on existing family plans. But digging deeper, I see that's the least of the problems there. Some red flags: * If/when you cancel Pixel Pass in the future, i

In addition, the NodeJS cold start time can be further optimized by bundling into a single file artifact to reduce the amount of disk IO needed when requiring dependencies. Webpack, Parcel, ESBuild, and other bundlers could achieve that, I&

You pretty much always have to define your record type with `| undefined` tacked on to the value type parameter. With that, the problem mostly goes away.

To me, form factor is a bigger limitation than lack of NFC support. I'd mostly want this replacing the 5C Nano I leave in the laptop that actually travels with me. A clunky key like this would have to be left for desktop use.

Bank of America supports it and like you'd expect, supports bypassing via SMS. Even worse is that they only let you register a single key.

I feel like storybook is more complicated than it needs to be, but it's still valuable. I've used it with success in the past. It essentially gives you a standardized way to build out a fully implemented design system rather than

VSCode has come a long way in making this easier for newcomers. The Remote repositories extension basically will open up a link in Github to generate the Personal Authentication token to associate with your VSCode app and that's it. h

Just saw this posted on Reddit earlier. The performance lags a lot, but it's insane to see VSCode running in a simulated OS in a browser in an OS. It's pretty neat.

The biggest issue for me is that the M1 Macbooks can't drive two external displays. A GPU improvement (or whatever else is holding it back here) is sorely needed for a "Pro" device. 32GB RAM would be nice as well.

Ironically, this is actually the improved policy. It actually used to be even more locked down and pretty much disallowed you from doing any game development at all. Source: I previously worked at Amazon for many years.

Your interfaces rarely change in isolation though, right? If they're changing, so are a lot of the places you're interacting with the fields of objects of those types. A "Refactor>Rename Symbol" flow on the interface

Oh, hey Alex. As soon as I saw your handle, the name "Alex Rattray" popped to mind, and sure enough, that's who you are. I think I probably met you at a hackathon many years ago (maybe PennApps?), though it was probably in pa

Yeah, for sure. I was using them as early as this morning, haha. I've been through the whole end to end spectrum of this at Amazon, from wild-west every team doing their own custom things to building BrazilGrunt/BrazilGulp, and mo

I just resigned from Amazon today, and reading this is giving my flashbacks to my earlier years there. When I first joined in 2013, it was incredibly difficult to leverage open source third party libraries and build systems like grunt/

In a model where developers adhere to a devops philosophy and are product owners, there's no need for a split. Developers should not be measured only quantity of releases, but also on metrics related to availability, customer impact, l

It'd be cool if counter-points to a principle could also be documented alongside it. Reasoning that highlights why you may not want to adopt a principle is helpful when considering it. For example, take "One single source of truth

I Love it! I built something very similar for a hackathon a few years back. Aside from emitting metrics to a server with a simple real-time graph rendered in a browser, I also had it connected to a janky servo that would lower a tea-bag or

An hourly cache may not be up-to-date enough for many use-cases. But sure, let's say you have some caching on a timed interval and those are all the requests you see. Unless you block all outbound requests from the app, you still can&#

It's a good question. The app doesn't look fully open source, but I suspect they'd have to. Currency conversions aren't fixed, after all.
