IME, it's stack traces that miss all the context. So an error occurred 20 levels down? What was it doing? With what?

I've not used Rust. Do you get to add context at the point of bailing?

Thanks for the detailed reply. Other than being able to maintain your own list of users, are there downsides to using Oauth?

Sequence diagrams are good when you're already inside the system. Showing my age here but IMO, for sketching a high-level view of the whole system and how its components interact, nothing beats SSADM's data flow diagrams. You can

Shame. Missed opportunity to editorialise it to "Ineffective Rust" ;)

I hope it isn't the end. Yes there's some garbage on there, but there's also a lot of good content in many thousands of subs. And a sub for virtually any human interest or foible you can think of. The barrier to entry is very

True, but then you are required to load all possible values for all autocompletable input fields at page load, which in many cases is unreasonable. As mentioned, many (most even?) autocompletes do it on the fly, and probably without you rea

by kitd 3y ago
Well, they "wait" for a fraction of a second maybe. And you put it behind a typing delay so it responds only when the user is ready. Also, many autocompletes do a round trip anyway. The htmx version just returns the html already r

by kitd 3y ago
Yes, I've done this with Htmx. Send the input content to the server and respond with the new <datalist> html that gets automatically swapped in. Really simple engineering.

One of the reasons for using an ECS is cache coherence. All your game state is lumped together in one chunk or memory. Lookup times are near instant as a result. Moving to SQLite makes theoretical sense, but you lose the benefit of cache co

I don't think I've ever seen a FORTH programmer and a LISP programmer in the same room; I can't imagine the discussion terminating. The ultimate halting problem?

Yes. If people CAN do something with your tool, they will. The moment you say "yeah, no one is stupid enough to do that", they will. Be ready for it!

No, it's a Type 2 emulator, so more like Qemu or VirtualBox.

Private usenet is a much better model for corporate discussion than eg Slack and typical alternatives. More natural message threading, integration with email clients, binary and document handling built in. Not sure about search but easily d

Writing it in natively compiled language would produce a lean product - Rust, Go, etc. ... Java? You can natively compile Java these days.

Yeah, this was great: Hashes are perhaps the holy-grail of computer-science. With a good hash, we can just side-step all the hard problems by trading them for an even harder problem (hash collisions), and then we just ignore that harder pr

Agreed. Wrapping all db access in its own class or module is one of the easiest architectural decisions to be made in a project. Allows you to use specific drivers but isolates changes to a few easily found locations. Makes it dead simple
