It seems I have an uneducated eye by their standards, because I barely see any difference, which I'm happy to admit, but I think the author misses the point of webp completely. The format is intended to bring down the file size of grap

I wrote an app for bowling so we can track our scores. It got out of hand and now we have a RPi that connects via BLE to the app to configure a game so all throws are filmed, segmented and stored. Our bowling scores haven't improved mu

I unfortunately have. Guy managed to bloat a simple mobile app to 180kloc. Every change we wanted to make after inheriting the codebase required changing abstractions in >10 places and all their corresponding unit and integration tests.

This IS the actual lesson they want to convey. "Use <tool> but don't overdo it and attempt to use <tool> everywhere." It's just a bad mix with the clickbait title, a story that has a different root cause and

I'm sorry? I also disagree with the authors conclusion but the article is definitely giving me less "jerk vibes" than this reply. The lesson learned in the article should be "talk to your co-worker on why they solved a p

Same for me. Does anyone have an independent opinion on the current state of Mycroft AI? They kind of lost me after only publishing fundraising updates for what felt like two years straight.

In our process, we use almost the simplest possible tasks like making an HTTP request to our API and displaying the data im some form and ask people to solve them 'just as they would as part of a project they are working on'. They

Same. I've also used it for quite a few larger pieces of work in the last few years and was very happy with it. The handdrawn-looking but still tidy diagrams really give a 100+ page document a more approachable feel when used consisten

Have you tried Flutter in recent times? And in general, why would it be dying? We deploy a Flutter app to Android and iOS with a lot of native parts and it works flawlessly, fast and with native-feeling UI on both platforms. Even porting to

This won't really make a difference in that regard. If you wanted to use AI, you could copy the input/output or just use their API directly. I personally use a solution like this because I'm just plain and simply lazy.

I agree that one should take a step back at that point but how exactly is this the fundamentally wrong approach to the problem? Re-using the existing code where possible is the fundamentally right approach to the problem. It just so happens

The person understanding the problem to solve and the person crafting the solution don't necessarily need to be the same person, though. They can, in fact, be two people with completely different skill sets and if one of them ("yo

We've been using Elixir + Phoenix in production for about 5 years and I really like the ecosystem. Phoenix has undergone some bigger changes with recent versions due to the Liveview development, which were a bit annoying to keep up wit

I actually really like the interface. You have the "generic" speed test information at the top and a lot more additional information at the bottom. It feels a bit overwhelming at first, though, granted.

I'd like to add: Do the minimum that is necessary. If it's well received, take the time to refine it. If it's not, scrap it.

I've always been a fan of looking at number of issues and closed issues vs. open issues (judging differently if they auto-close).

It is. Research and hobby does generally create lower order numbers than industry, though. However, at least DigiKey offers an integration iirc.

Yes, I didn't disagree with that. All I'm saying if you're already using JWTs, you're not locked out completely from implementing these features. It just comes with a drawback that might be worth it, depending on your cu

There is a lot of wiggle room between a buggy, unreliable service and a perfectly operational service. And yes, as I said, from a business point of view, I absolutely agree with what you say. From a user's perspective, I don't. An

No, you have lost ONE of the major values of JWTs. You still enjoy a lot of the others (standardized data structure decodable by both sides, library support, easy custom payload). Also, DB calls are not necessary, when it comes to scaling,

I agree with most of what you wrote but I strongly disagree with the fact that customers starting to demand reliability is a scenario that should happen before you start thinking about hosting your own software. Treating stability and relia

I think you're right regarding the link to spaced repetition. 2049 tries so hard to deliver long, drawn out, cinematic shots that often times are visually impressive but make it almost impossible to repeat a scene or reiterate on a plo

The docker runtime is not supported by k8s anymore but docker built containers do still and will very likely continue to work for a long time.

Not José but could you elaborate on the "average person" part? The "average person" is not building a business, and the average person building a web business is not necessarily in e-commerce. Laravel is probably the bes
