As much as I am a fan of monoliths, too many configuration parameters will land you in a world of hurt. You may start with 20 options but people will demand more and more options if you don't stop them very early. Those options will ha

Typescript has quite a few pitfalls like the uselessness of Readonly<T>, which can just vanish with an assignment to a variable typed T where TS will neither warn nor error out nor require an explicit cast.

Since every recursive program can be implemented without recursion, this isn't really a limitation. Recursion can actually be a pit fall if you parse user generated data and don't set recursion limits. If feasible I try to avoid r

Definitely but would you be able to tell if a review you see is generated or written by a human? We will have to face a reality where nothing on the internet can be trusted. Ironically traditional news outlets will probably become more rele

This reasoning is quickly falling apart in a hybrid model. Once a single person is not on-site, you will need to work as if everybody were remote. According to the article, Amazon is apparently is currently targeting said hybrid model.

Quite a few people in the EU already consider US cloud providers to break GDPR just by existing because of US legislature like the CLOUD act. A view that was (is?) at least partially shared by Microsoft [1]. MS created a (now closed) dedic

The FDP has been smacked down so hard in the last few state elections they are now radicalizing themselves in a futile attempt to appeal to more voters. Absolutely blind to the fact that, once again, people who voted for FDP simply didn&#x2

Once everything is using ESNI this isn't a problem anymore. It's the lack of implementation that is currently the problem.

Smaller services are not affected because they are explicitly not included. Unless you define 7.5 billion Euro annual revenue in the EEA as small. The cookie law is good, it's the websites that are either actively non-compliant or lazy

Make-up does affect beauty standards very much. Teenage girls are crowding the make-up sections in my local drug stores and most 15 year olds I encounter are wearing some kind of makeup nowadays. Even boys have started using make-up, althou

The newer microSD cards are quite fast. Not as fast as built-in storage but fast enough for things like photos and videos if you buy a card with the appropriate speed class. V30 512 GB costs about 40€ including VAT here in Germany. https:&

Your filter includes only eSIM but if you also include nanoSIM, you get 183 instead of only 5 results which is quite a lot. More than I expected.

I'm wondering if part of the push to those electron apps is because more young developers know how to use HTML/CSS and JavaScript than there are people who know how to use GDI+, Qt, and so on. Maybe cross-platform support is actua
