Nope, sorry, blockchain is still shit tech. Permissionless & censorship resistant better keep looking.

I am looking at this from the tech viewpoint, I'm a systems architect. Blockchain is garbage tech, useful mostly for unregulated gambling (because there isn't a central point you can squeeze). For practically all legitimate use ca

Yes - especially important for low end devices, it improves the first load after which the app behaves like a regular SPA.

Vue.js 3 + Vert.x backend (plus Nuxt if I needed SSR). If less interactivity were required, Rails (or rather Grails) and Alpine.js. But it's not that these technologies are inherently better than something else, I'd simply go with

Please stop using "it just works", you're not Apple's marketing department. Sure it just works for some people, but Linux distros and Windows also just work for some people. I've had and I've experienced a fair

Had one like that, too. The previous programmer didn't believe in constants and the code was interpreting a binary protocol. Globals all over the place, too - I refactored a variable once and got a message that production is down; it w

The festival itself may be young, but the tradition is way older: pre-Christian and found in various forms all over central Europe.

The crypto community has been so bad at denouncing and excluding the bad elements and ideas from within itself that more and more people simply want to have nothing to do with you. We know you can spend pages and pages on your yes-buts but

bat is actually more pager than cat, it automatically switches to pager mode when its input exceeds a certain size.

A colleague of mine and I tried to asses VS Code vs. Intellij IDEA for vanilla JS & Typescript + Vue. Him a heavy VS user, me more at home with Intellij. In both cases we concluded Intellij proved superior, though both were usable.

Groovy is absolutely phenomenal for scripting. Optionally typed, has the entire Java ecosystem of libraries available (with no extra download or build files neccessary), very good IDE support, mature, extremely rich common library, great pe

It is Slovenia, as others have guessed. It's just one way people find to express their predjudice, I'm sure others exist in any other part of the world. My last name ends with a C and it sometimes gets written with a Ć and I don&#

In this part of the world the name would be quite political. We only use the letter Č (pronounced as ch) but our neighbors also use Ć (pronounced the same, only softer.. it's literally called "the soft Č"). There are a lot of

I actually like the AUX input because at least it works predictably. Last time I tried getting a (purely software) Bluetooth compatibility problem fixed I was told it works in the newer car models if I perhaps wanted to browse them? And not

Java is verbose by design while Kotlin is pragmatic. That's why I prefer Kotlin, even though on the backend I could have just as well taken the latest Java. That, and strict null checking.

Markets are often emotional though, and climate concerns can have very real financial consequences, just look at the auto industry.

Proof-of-stake is basically an oligarchy though, those with funds call the shots, similar to the current mainstream system but without any of the checks and balances (they will be developed for crypto, too, in time, but at a high price for

As a native speaker of Slovenian and a decent speaker of Serb/Croatian this is not true for these particular Slavic languages. I can say "Grem v trgovino" / "Idem u dučan" (I'm going to the store) and it i

Phones & tablets have the additional advantage of being able to get your attention regularly and reliably. They can train you like an animal: open this chest in 40 minutes and that one after 2 hours. This is very useful when you're

Slovenian & a couple of other Slavic languages even still have the dual besides plural and singular :)

Another jOOQ fanboy here - it's not just the manual that shows DSL->SQL, you can just .toString() most of jOOQ constructs in your code and get the raw SQL out. In fact, I believe you can just take that .toString() and put it straigh

Another vote for jOOQ, it's just so good. You can really see it's made by a true SQL fan.

That's what it always comes to, doesn't it? It can't be that bad if it turns a profit. The same argument used by pirates, slave traders, tobacco CEOs and money printing central bankers.

I read the Bitcoin whitepaper and I find blockchain a terrible and entirely inelegant technology. It is horribly inefficient and I can think of only a handful of domains where blockchain's properties would outweigh its problems. Crypto

..and that Java has, like the object oriented language that it is, an AutoCloseable interface which you can implement and then use in blocks, much like with this Python construct.

I still wear scars from a XAML on Windows Phone project (which was a weirdly disfunctional subset of the "real" XAML). I've programmed a lot of weird things in my life, but that one takes a lot of cakes..

Sure, people say they want to have to check for _every_ possible error, but then Java gets endless heat for having checked exceptions.
