The only problem with them is that they don’t work well with lambdas (and related features like Stream). If you need to call a method that throws a checked exception inside of a Stream, there’s no good way to pass it up other than re-throwi

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using IntelliJ for about a decade now, and I thought the UI change was great. Obviously not for everyone, but I’m more productive now thanks to it. I don’t like their recent AI features, in large part because

I don’t know the story, but I’m not surprised. I led an effort to switch my company to Auth0 recently and they’re… bad. They have very poor support for anything even barely outside of normal, and when things are working correctly they not v

I’d noticed recently that my Macbook was consistently being warm even when I hadn’t used it in hours and it was closed and unplugged. I wound up doing a clean up of a bunch of processes that might be running in the backend, and it was resol

For a book series that I’m a fan of, the biggest merch seller (eg. embroidered hoodies, shirts) is based in Canada and ships directly. With these changes, she’s just having to shut the store down entirely because she’d have to have prices t

If you search “physical mail API”, I see several options. The first one that I saw charged $1 per letter.

Notably, Ramsay is mostly doing that as an act, so it’s really just the same thing as House. If you watch his UK shows, or see some of the other stuff he’s put out, he doesn’t bother with that whole antisocial performance.

The far side of Finland? That’s the Baltic Sea. Sure, there’s a little bit of Sweden, but it’s so far north that there isn’t much rail infrastructure there - certainly little enough that it could quickly be destroyed at the beginning of a w

The difference is that at a restaurant you’re paying for it. If you show up at a soup kitchen and complain that it wasn’t seasoned just right, that’s fully on you.

I’d used it some and liked it, though I hadn’t used it extensively. At the very least, some of the parts that had already come out of it to the main site (like the interactive radar) were very useful and good upgrades.

I’ve seen startups with a thousand active users paying $50k/month (though that’s overall costs, not just db). It’s really easy to waste a lot of money doing nothing.

Solar energy isn’t that much more efficient in Earth orbit than on Earth - maybe twice as efficient. That sounds nice, but you’re saving half of your solar panel cost while massively increasing every other cost.

That’s not how it works. With conservation of energy, all the energy coming in to power the computers has to be emitted somehow. Powering computers doesn’t get rid of the energy, it just makes it unusable and converts it into heat.

It’s disabled still on my iPhone on iOS 18.4.1. Either it was enabled specifically on 18.2, and then disabled, or you enabled it manually. (Or some other weird thing, like it’s only enabled on iPhone Pros.)

In my experience, directly hiring (or hiring through a local company) developers in a “low-income country” - in my experience, Eastern Europe and Latin America - goes a lot better than just contracting out a body of work to a third party. E

The issue is not whether it’s a human or a bot. The issue is whether you’re sending thousands of requests per second for hours, effectively DDOSing the site, or if you’re behaving like a normal user.

You can just host your own registry, or use a managed one like AWS ECR (which has a pretty good free tier).
