But when you plug in the numbers: that the farmer raised $126 million, and hosting unlimited Docker Hub pulls costs $11/month, it doesn't quite feel the same.

Pre commit hooks shine with fast formatters. Keep the hook under half a second or so and it's great.

I think this is true for the edges, but if you build on top of software that's not done well, it's a bad time.

Yes, he owns a competitor with his wife, formation.dev, so there is a clear incentive.

The main issue is that a reader might mistake Redis as a 2X faster postgres. Memory is 1000X faster than disk (SSD) and with network overhead Redis can still be 100X as fast as postgres for caching workloads. Otherwise, the article does wel

This is modern backend development. The server scales horizontally by default, nodes can be removed and added without disrupting service. With redis as cache, we can do e.g. rate limiting fast without tying a connection to a node, but also

"If we don't need performance, we don't need caches" feels like a great broader takeaway here.

Another downside of DI is how it breaks code navigation in IDEs. Without DI, I can easily navigate from an instance to where it's constructed, but with DI this becomes detached. This variable implements Foo, but which implementation is

I think the point is that if the corporations are morally kept in check by governments, then installing Linux wouldn't be necessary.

I wonder if the complexity of fixing trivial code mistakes in CI is worth it compared to catching them in a pre-commit hook.

Small websites gain from reducing roundtrips on connection too. Fast websites are nice

Make sense. Nowadays, for a new project, I would like to use Caddy where I would otherwise use Apache or nginx, but I would be even more inclined to use a cloud provider's load balancer.

A "few extra ms" is up to 3 roundtrips difference, that's easily noticeable by humans on cellular. For all the CPU optimisations we're doing, cutting out a 50ms roundtrip for establishing a HTTP connection feels like a g

Yes, it's real data, and by now the influx is apparent in the 90 day view too!

I think the same kind of critical thinking that was required to reimplement and break algorithms must now be used to untangle AIs answers. In that way, it's a new skill, with its own muscle memory. Previously learnt skills like debuggi

It's a nice recap of recent advancements in theoretical computer science (quantum computing, adaptations to Dijkstra's algorithm, busy beavers). Though do note there's many other branches in compsci than theoretical computer

It's one of many network protocol improvements that could never be used effectively due to middle boxes. QUIC is specifically designed to prevent ossification like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_ossif

I don't think it's that far fetched that a developer implements a rate limiter with setTimeout, where a task can only be executed if a timeout is not already running. The behaviour in the article is definitely a footgun in this sc

When typing through a TV remote or console controller, shorter passwords might be preferred, especially if parts are still easily memorizable. Also, I think some website still have a relatively low upper limit for password length.

Looks nice for getting things running quickly! I would advice people not to use this in production yet, though. E.g. when using the update command, new files in the repo are overridden, but old files aren't removed. https://

Yes. Besides other performance benefits, HTTP/3 saves a full roundtrip for connection by combining TCP and TLS handshakes.
