I think for many apps out the codebase is dominated by UI code, and the business logic part is small and relatively easy to write anyway. From personal experience, sure, I have some classes that abstract away server APIs and some classes fo

I use an old Android phone as music player when out. It is on flight mode so battery lasts forever, the system doesn't have random sync hiccups and Spotify has not lost offline library so far. It only goes out of flight mode when I wan

I've often had problem with stabilizing shaky GoPro footage where the footage has geometric distortion, and after the stabilization it gets very noticeable: as the image is panned around, at the edges it appears wavy and flowy. A worka

I discovered the 'validate' argument just recently. My concern was not costs, it was latency and response times. My server is generating a HTML page with signed URLs to resources on S3. The 'get_bucket' call adds a bit o

I prefer having swap disabled by default and hitting the wall hard when out of memory. Some swap is nice on desktop systems where memory usage can vary a lot. On server, RAM usage should be relatively stable. Tune your stack, pick appropri
