CORS is flawed. The attacks you typically want to circumvent CORS for are so involved that setting up a little bitcoin-rented VPS as a MITM is not a big part of the hassle. browser ---> MITM VPS ---> real server The browser does some

You are joking right? "Spring is a marvel that sprang out of the experience of very, very talented people." --> sounds very culty to me. And yes I maintain both Spring and non-Spring JVM projects.

I found String (Boot) a horror to work with. Annotation based devt with super weird errors. The great thing was that most errors where run into by many before me so could be solved by a simple web search/ Stack Overflow article. To me

Annotations do many things. Sometimes --in Spring Boot-- they hook different systems up with eachother: this makes the framework very "magic". I really dont like that: I want to be able to CTRL-click my way to understand how every

Like the article I hear Spring Boot here mentioned again. I also really hate the annotation culture. This is big in Spring Boot, and more common in Java since it is so damn verbose. It is not inherent in Java though, and the Kotlin "de

You do not have to be in direct sunlight to be in a place with that's sun lit. Say I'm on my porch with a bright sun lit background, but not in the sun myself. I'd love to work there, but I cannot read my screen.

> at small scale they're equal, then at medium scale Postgres wins out and at larger scales MySQL starts to win again. Nice insight! I'd say because most apps wont reach mega scale, that on the small scale Postgres should win.

Kotlin is basically Java 2.0. Kotlin has really great developer ergonomics and a huuuge ecosystem of Java libs you can easily use since you are on top of the JVM which (a much better tech than PHP). Kotlin being quite high-level fits well w

We use MySQL. Why? Well, it's hard to switch. And yes I believe Postgres is the better option, for us, and for almost anyone. I was hoping to find some reason for Uber to use MySQL over the other popular FLOSS RDBMS (i.e.: Postgres). F

I'd say: bloat = high size / features ratio. For instance fresh install size: Puppy Linux 300MB vs Windows 11 24GB. Sure Windows has some more features, but ratio wise it's a bloated monster. http://puppylinux.com
