Drop in a lint rule to fail on skipped tests. Ive added these at a previous job after finding that tests skipped during dev sometimes slipped through review and got merged.

The 30th anniversary post has an overview of events in the game’s history (content updates, community, server upgrades) that was very interesting. Congrats on the beefy 486/100 server with 64M of RAM upgrade in ‘94! https://

Maybe I came into this article knowing too much about the solution, but I dont agree with commenters saying this is a poorly designed interview question. Its a blog post as well, not the format that would be presented to a candidate. I thin

This is handled in the framing of the question: “… it doesn't ever have to handle more than one request at once (at least from the same client, so we can assume this is a single-server per-client type of architecture).“ For sure a mult

Sad to hear this but even happier now about the existence of the Node.js documentary[0]. Glad this happened and that some of his stories of Node’s early days are recorded. [0] https://youtu.be/LB8KwiiUGy0?t=705

My intent isnt to convince people this is a safe mode, but to share knowledge in the hope someone learns something new today. I didnt mean it to come across that way. The spec does what the spec does, we should all be aware of it so we can

I agree that it is not a robust safety net. But in the instance you’re citing, thats a misconfigured server. What framework allows you to setup a misconfigured parser out of the box? I dont mean that as a challenge, but as a server framewor

I think CORS is so hard for us to hold in our heads in large part due to how much is stuffed into the algorithm. It may send an OPTIONS request, or not. It may block a request being sent (in response to OPTIONS) or block a response from bei

This is missing important context. You are correct that preflight will be skipped, but there are further restrictions when operating in this mode. They don't guarantee your server is safe, but it does force operation under a “safer” su

I think you’re joking in general, but your sidenote is already extremely close to websim[0] which is an art adjacent site that takes a URL as prompt and then creates the site. The point is effectively a hallucinated internet, and it is a ne

The athlete metaphor undermines its own point. Yes athletes work very hard, but they also specifically build in rest, recovery, and structure. Their training is periodized and supported by coaches, trainers, and nutritionists to _maximize_

It is a useful concept, and letting the whispers of the vexillophiles[0] into your head will lead you to see that most flags are well, pretty bad. CGP Grey has a lot of opinions[1] about this. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/

This is one of those things where specs are still hard to parse. It is considered invalid syntax to lead with a dot by the rules. But it also must be ignored if present. Its lacking a “MUST NOT” because the spec is defining valid syntax, wh

I can't dispute this, but since you shared an anectdote I will also. I haven't seen this in any of the communities I visit personally. Do you mean bot accounts which are passing themselves off as real people and karma farming? Or

The authors anonymously make assertions of fraud, but clearly have an axe to grind with Rabbit. This piece is interesting in how peculiar it is, but I'd say not newsworthy. I did learn at least that there is some NFT history behind the

It says the number is a measure of users who posted their first comment or submission in 2023. So that, at least, is the correct way to read the graph. That is interesting! Especially considering the true number of signups would be higher b

I think that would decimate their user numbers, which is a bad deal for the streamers too since they make money on sponsorships/ads and based on audience size. Hard to grow an audience when folks have to pay for the service. No idea ho

I'd assume because it's faster to move the index finger immediately up a row to the T when typing quickly than it is to move the ring finger up and over to the P. So chorded together, you end up hitting the T before the P to make
