It’s tech debt, but it’s cheap debt. 80Mb isn’t much to have to worry about. There are many ways to use a DB of that size that will be “good enough”. So long as the queries were returning fast enough and the dev overhead wasn’t too much (LF

It requires choices and knowing what to install and if things don’t work, troubleshooting the install can be difficult. For a first time task of “install latex”, it’s not the easiest. Especially for newer users. I e done it half a dozen tim

Why are you asking for advice then? Another way to think of this would be — what is covered in the Horstmann book better than the Liang book. What are topics that are missing from your already chosen book that your students would benefit fr

That’s been my problem with any non-MS vscode distribution. Missing Remote-SSH and devcontainers. Both of which I tend to use a lot — especially remote ssh with large datasets that exist on remote servers. Otherwise, I’d be all in for this!

You could have static elements pre-rendered, but only loaded on demand. For example, if you had a blog with comments, you could have the comments pre rendered in htmx fragments, but only loaded when they are clicked. Or a photo gallery with

You’re right… I was remembering it as a `server_default` attribute. Those were quoted in the other lines, but this wouldn’t have been.

I think you’re right about this. There should be a special “limited” icon to show when your service is being deprioritized. I think would actually help the carriers as it would tell customer when a degradation of service was due to a conges

This is an error that should probably have been caught just based upon the color of the text when it was typed/pasted into the source code. Of the uuid() call was in quotes, it would have appeared as text. When you’re blindly using

I like the detached menu, but mainly because it makes the application window smaller with less overall decoration. With multiple applications open, each window having menu bar decorations seems cluttered to me. I like the minimalist and con

The problem is that the altered images represent a still plausible theory. There is a reason why they were believed in the first place. It isn’t that these false images are negative evidence. Instead, they don’t help or refute the underlyi

In this context, I wouldn't be interested in averages. Their systemic issues dealing with extreme weather (winter and summer) are pretty well known. The average reliability rates aren't going to necessarily show these events.

That was my assumption too, but it's not across the board. For example, AT&T, Inc (HQ in Dallas) is a Delaware Corp. But, I expect that any of these companies that have many years of history will have complex organizational structu

Texas has the headquarters of many companies, but how many are actually incorporated in Texas? What would the advantages be to a Texas exchange over NYSE or NASDAQ? I understand the desire for a different marketplace. But no matter where it

My understanding was that there was a server running Docker containers where the admin wanted to allow others to control/start containers without giving them access to the machine through a local login. The idea proposed was to make th

You probably don’t want to expose that service to the internet… I see this as something like the console management for VPS. Back in the day, I remember reading about how prgmr.com had setup a console that you’d directly SSH into. That’s no

There are no hard and fast rules, only conventions that are context dependent. Buttons normally only respond to the “on click” event. This lets you move off the button if you change your mind mid-click. Window focus could be (I haven’t te

I did something similar (same time frame) that definitely manipulated the DOM, but I didn’t keep the HTTP connection open, I used hidden Iframes. Clicks got redirected to the iframe, which returned <script> elements that would replace

The mouse event thing is a bit misleading. Mouse interactions have (at least) 5 different events: hover, down, up, click and double click. The interactions you describe all happen “onclick”, which requires a down and up event to happen cons

It doesn’t have to be “real” for people to believe it is real. And really, it doesn’t matter if it was “real” if people believed it was real. Because if people believe something is real, it can have a real world impact, regardless of whethe

I was actually expecting the author to take photos of the old laptop's screen and OCR those. This was far more entertaining. I do wonder though... perhaps it would have been faster to have the larger fonts and let the transfer take 24

> Implementing constraints in application code is certainly a lot easier I can’t imagine doing this. You’re basically saying that you will only ever have one program writing to your database.

Sometimes you need to have atomic updates for a function. Stored procedures aren’t inherently evil, but are a hold over from when DB admins were a thing and they didn’t trust app developers. Don’t worry, just wait another 5-10 years, they’l

Back in the day (early 2000’s), I worked with a DB2 instance that had similar functionality. At the time, they called this feature federated databases. If you had the appropriate wrapper, you could use any data source in a query. Even outpu

But that also implies that some user would be authorized to make a request to the HTTP port (or that the resource does exist, which in this case it doesn’t). IMO, 400 is more accurate, but really either could be acceptable, so long as the

As another point, my PCP moved to a concierge model a few years back. We stuck with him and couldn’t be happier with the situation. Finding a good doctor you trust and have a good relationship with can be hard, but very worthwhile.
