I prefer Java in VS Code, but unfortunately there's no solid option for Kotlin outside of IntelliJ. One of my two major gripes about Kotlin -- that, and the lack of a standardized style guide and formatting tool so that there's no

I have a lot to say about this. First, I want to start with: If you haven't read the article, this is about a woman. I've long held the belief that bio-identical hormone replacement should be a cheap and available option for peri-

Just to clarify -- GraalVM had support for RUNNING WASM for quite a long time. This post references the ability to compile programs via native images to WASM as an output format.

You can use an LLM to generate query-builder expressions from popular libraries in whatever language. For example, on the JVM there is jOOQ, which allows you to write something like: select(field("foo"), avg("bar")).

Calcite also has a relatively-unknown web tool for plan visualization that lets you step through execution. It's a method from "RuleMatchVisualizer": https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/36f6d

You can use 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride. One of the primary causes of BPH is from androgens, specifically the conversion of testosterone -> dihydrotestoerone via the 5-ar enzyme. The prostate is an androgen-sensitive ti

Many of the functions in Phobos are not `@nogc` compatible, yes. That being said, I can't think of many scenarios in which an application where user-code is all `@nogc` would be hindered by occasional GC'ed stdlib methods. One sta

Sindre, so great to see you posting here and doing well. We met in the early Imba days. Over the years, I've referred many folks asking for what I believed to be the best resources for self-teaching web development to Scrimba. All the

So, I've used the VS Code and IntelliJ extensions that support ".http" files for making REST requests forever. They're incredibly useful for embedding executable API documentation in your projects. What I've always

That's not necessarily true. You can write type assertion functions that validate the input is a given shape. In theory, you'd use these type assertion methods at any API boundaries a single time for external inputs/outputs i
