No stake in the game, but keep in mind that the time of day you're posting will have a biasing effect here (it's still 6-7am in CA)

There was a ton of friction trying to use pip. Same with ruby gems. So a lot of tutorials for web development put you in a pickle quickly.

Cookies work great for SPAs and I highly recommend the path for first party auth. Setting up CSRF tokens on the frontend is a lot easier than setting up OIDC.

One benefit of JWT as specced is that those APIs you pass it on to don't need to share an encryption key, which makes rolling the key without causing downtime impractical. With OIDC, for example, frequent key rotation helps you create

There are a lot of product-minded engineers out there (user-facing outcomes focused). There are also a lot of engineers who enjoy the engineering decisions and challenges at particular stages of a company's growth. Both (and many other

They ought to regulate how long employees have to purchase vested options after departure or termination. If you had a 10 year window regulated, wouldn't be an issue. It would probably make good outcomes less good (companies would prob

It's the whole point - they're signed, not encrypted. You should use opaque tokens instead if you don't want the frontend or other services that have access to the token to read it.

Love Ironman mode in RuneScape for this reason. Taking the economy out entirely improves the modern game experience. Similar to D3 removing the auction house years back

Microsoft is funding the work with Mark Shannon / GVR / Eric Snow. The project is called "Faster Cpython". Pretty excited for the 3.12 work, where they plan to introduce JIT compilation I believe? I'm not sure about

Prometheus federation isn't distributed evaluation. It "federates" from other nodes onto a single node. > Federation allows a Prometheus server to scrape selected time series from another Prometheus server

Ymmv but I’ve found that using tailwind has helped my side project design story a lot. It has me thinking a bit more outside of the components box and makes it super easy to do subtle adjustment.

But then I'm running a bespoke DSL for interface display in a validation lib. It's not obvious that's the better direction eh?
258.
by bpicolo 4y ago
Well, they're not validating JSON. Forms are text value fields that aren't always sent as JSON later, or necessarily sent over the wire at all. They definitely are using their DSL for things far out of the scope of JSON schema. Th

Much less easy than GCP/AWS, which is more my standard for that bit. State is the hard part to manage compared to stateless web tiers and what not, so that’s a big value prop

Well, I was trying to diagnose that redis issue specifically, hah! So being in the running environment was exactly what I needed in order to understand the issue. My temporary fix has been to run a container OS vm instance and run the conta

The big miss for me is a shell into a running cloud run container, which you can’t do even with reserved cpus yet. Getting dramatiq (a python sidekiq equivalent) running on the CPU-reserved containers was pretty excruciating. They recommend

Cloud run has been nice, but I really wish I could get a shell in a container in the same environment as my app. The “jobs” feature they’re launching seem like it will help for some use cases of this but having a shell for debugging is some

I recently spun up Google Cloud Run as an alternative. GCP has PITR for postgres. The only weird hitch with Google Cloud Run (and their other serverless products) is you either need to either use public IPs for e.g. memory store cache or ot
