I got GCP certified for Cloud Architect and Data Engineer in the past and it's been actually super helpful to get a rough overview what products they offer and how to connect them together to solve (hypothetical) real world problems. I

It's a programmer's error, so it should lead to a panic. There is simply no reason to ever handle this at runtime (as opposed to network errors or other things that can go wrong during normal operation and should be handled at run

It's not either or, you can combine the two. I've worked on a system that did real time audio mixing for 10000s of concurrent connections, utilizing >50 cores, mostly with one thread each. Each thread had thread-local data, was

You can minimize sharing data between threads because it's easier to have data affinity with threads (ie only thread A will read or write to a piece of data). You can still access that data from multiple modules because the whole threa

If you are using explicit blocking, share data between threads and have not run into deadlocks then your application is trivial (which is great if it solves your problem).

They can be used that way, but you end up with exactly the same problems that async programming aims to avoid (performance, deadlocks, your business logic being cluttered with low level implementation details).

Ideally, you don't have blocking APIs at all. There isn't any reason nowadays. Every blocking API in your system is there for historic reasons (ie it's >20 years old) or because somebody made a terrible design decision in

Even SMS would be vastly more secure, as sim swap or SS7 attacks are costly.

Using email magic links as authentication mechanism is not a great choice in my opinion as email is not a very secure protocol if you think about the default smtp security guarantees and man-in-the-middle interception, either on the smtp or

The rocket was not. Of course you will have components built by industry. You can't expect government to mine the iron and mill the steel for every bolt.

I don't see the problem here at all. What prevents somebody from writing a 5 line helper wrapper that provides the easier API either in their project or as a small crate if they want to share the helper between projects? That's th

It's actually quite common to use the major version of semver for API versioning. Users of the API don't get to choose minor and patch versions though, they also don't need to because there's no breaking changes in them

Does the prior version or the new version determine whether a change is a breaking change?

To me this sounds like competition driving down prices, which is great for consumers.

Where's the harm for consumers here? All I see is that I can now buy guitar pedals for a fraction of the price. Isn't consumer harm the point of anti trust?

The point of LTS kernels is that they do get constant updates ie that security patches are backported. There is no world in which you can avoid updating frequently.

Singapore has very few homeless people. Most countries in Europe have almost no homeless population. It's not zero, but it's low enough that it is not a big problem compared to the US.
