I find GitHub Copilot close to useless for production code. The worst, most obscure bugs I've had to debug in the last year were all in Copilot-written code. It _looks_ plausible, but it makes extremely subtle mistakes. Occasionally, y

I always use EVE Online ship names. Phones get frigate names, laptops get destroyer names, and big machines/servers get battle cruiser names. https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Alphabetical_Ship_List

game-icons.net is great. I use it all the time for ad-hoc logos/emblems for characters/factions in pen&paper games. I especially like the export options. Having _both_ PNG (optionally with transparent background) and SVG means

Eh... since .NET 5 I feel that things have become simpler. If you are writing applications, there is really just the "modern" .NET to keep track of. Occasionally, you have to add "Core" to a Google search to not see resu

Apart from the very welcome QoL features in C# 12 (collection literals, primary constructors for ordinary classes), the "Aspire" announcement is very interesting. Haven't decided yet if its a good thing or too much "magi

We do, very successfully (large online retailer). Moving off of Windows as a deployment target simplified our processes significantly. Developers use a mix of Windows and Mac to develop, running the services "natively", before we

Why reach for crypto? My strategy would be to have a small emergency fund with a different bank. The risk of being debanked by two independent banks _at the same time_ seems lower than crypto.

Ooooh, I need to try this! When working on a PR myself, I frequently avoid doing small, incremental commits because I find the subtle "these lines changed" annotations in IDEs extremely useful. It helps me find the locations in co

It does seem to have an answer to most common challenges. Debouncing (for interactive form validations) seems to be something that you still have to sort out yourself. And I'm not sure how much work the mutation support saves in practi

Thanks! The only option I saw was to wrap `useQuery` so that you can do custom shenanigans like hooking up the abort signal to the fetch requests.

Looks interesting. Thanks! Not sure how I feel about the key being handed to the fetcher (might be great, might be annoyingly verbose). Will have to see what it looks like in practice. (We are going to use feTS [0] or openapi-fetch [1], whi

Mix of both. Some data needs to be ready on page load, but we also have quite a number of interactive use cases (e.g., form validation with a backend query).

Our team is currently debating whether we should adopt react-query or stick with plain old hand-written code around `fetch`. The team used Apollo in another project, so we are quite familiar with a "heavy handed wrapper" around ba

I'm pretty happy with _Podcast Republic_ on Android. Its a bit of a "power user" app, but I have yet to find something that I want to tweak that it doesn't let me tweak via its vast settings menus.

If you find yourself in that situation, migrating to a more performant queuing solution is not that much of a leap. You already have an overall system architecture that scales well (async processing with a queue). _Ideally_ the queuing tech

With a transaction isolation level below SERIALIZABLE you can have two transactions that both read the old row (with `used = 0`) at the time they perform the update (but before they commit the transaction). In that case, both transactions w

Very interesting to see how the Rust-JNI interface gets used in a production environment (e.g., the topic of unifying logging typically doesn't come up in "your first Rust-JNI app" tutorials, for instance) I do have one quest

Yeah, that caught my attention as well. How is SIGSEGV ever _not_ a bug? One of the last paragraphs is illuminating as to why `if` is so weird in NGINX: > Directive “if” is part of rewrite module which evaluates instructions imperatively

I worked on a big Java project where we had to do a lot of list/collection wrangling like that. I found that code using combinator chain/list comprehensions/Streams/LINQ/etc. was significantly less error prone tha

One could argue that the same holds for the second example. Sure, the parameter is called `numbers` but who knows what it will contain at runtime. It could be full of vectors, matrices or sheep. _Some_ of the objects could have a custom def

Interestingly, I had the exact opposite reaction. I found the second function harder to reason about because it heavily relies on mutation and the fact that individual loop iterations commute with respect to one another. (To understand what

Nah, too much work. I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime maybe once a year for a month each. That's more than enough time to watch everything worth watching.

IMO the neat thing about a "git push" deployment is that you are deploying a particular commit. The build server could annotate the build with the commit's hash, making that deployment reproducible. If you just have a local .
