I was reminded by another post on HN today: RAD - Rapid Application Development. Newer "no/low code" systems pale in comparison to what novices used to be able to do with Visual Basic or Hypercard or even old PHP. I was one o

I wouldn't go so far as "use re2 instead" of re for everything as a superstitious "X tool is objectively better than Y tool" but if you're performance bound on regexes definitely do look at re2. For context on

That's needlessly defeatist and "it's so bad out there there's no point in trying" is a thought terminating cliché. We can and should improve development practises, mitigate vulnerabities (ASLR, WAFs, etc), isolate

None of that is my problem. My belongings belong to me. I don't care if a bean counter somewhere was slightly happier about it before it got to me. The moment the car is my car, it's no longer their car to start charging me access

In either of these cases the car you exchanged your money for physically had the seat heaters in it already. You were buying (or renting) the password to be allowed to use your own belongings. To me this isn't nuanced at all. It's

IMO "you can turn that off" is absolutely not an acceptable answer to this stuff. It's my computer and it shouldn't be doing anything that I didn't specifically tell it to do. And that's not even to mention how

I practised picking locks on your house and broke the lock because of a poor lock design. Yeah okay the lock sucks. But I probably shouldn't have been doing it on your house in the first place and now you've got a broken lock. Who

Pretty much every invasive thing starts out as a more acceptable less invasive and is stepped up one thing at a time. "Oh okay it's just non-citizens" "oh okay it's just criminals" "oh okay it's just

Sadly the days of "keep using the software" are mostly over. Between security updates and platforms frequently making backwards-incompatible changes you'll hit the wall eventually. The rest of the world has opted into the con

Not a physicist but basically yes. Most quantum mechanics calculations involve the path integral[0], a sort of sum of all possible Feynman diagrams[1] that an interaction could involve and the more of these you involve the more accurate you

I'd guess using uuids for the keys instead of ROWIDs might help. I'd also guess that UNIQUE constraints must also trigger a conflict and that "close together" in index btrees also does. If that's true then using a u
