I imagine this could break some existing code. Especially if IANA starts to actually allocate addresses from the 0.0.0.0/8 range. Luckily, this doesn't change the fact that 0.0.0.0/8 is still reserved by RFC8190[0] [0]: http

In my opinion software development is less about what specific developers want to spend their time on, and more about producing solid software. Does not spending time on boilerplate improve the quality of software you produce? I find that i

I write quite a lot of Java, and I have to admit I never “got” Spring. I’d much rather have explicit boilerplate code (preferably in library form as much as possible) than complex, invisible magic. The latter is “easy”, but the former is “s

This was my question too. The real question isn't whether someone in the company knew. It's whether someone with decision power knew, and who was that person? And also, if people with decision power did not know - then why?

I find the whole discussion about null safety completely negligible. Since when are nulls the biggest problem for developers? Null pointer exceptions are by far some the simplest problems to avoid and/or solve. There are more serious a

I don't think there's a reason to use TCP for this unless you want to check for TCP connectivity specifically. Just do a DNS lookup against a list of well-known public DNS servers.

Could any hardcore Anki users here share their strategies for converting learning material into cards? Whenever I try to use Anki, I find it hard to convert knowledge into discrete cards, especially around code.

Okay, sure. Not "just as" wrong since a certain class of pitfalls are eliminated by deep knowledge of your tools. But I'd argue that that's not where the bulk of the uncertainty comes from. I think that in the software i

I disagree. Estimations tend to be just as wrong even when the tools are well known. There's always that one edge case you haven't considered, that one algorithm that doesn't work as well as you expected, that small change to
