Static typing is great until people ignore it. They pass around Map<String, String>, use magic strings for the keys, and stuff in Integers, Enum::toString, and UUIDs as values. And also building XML blobs by hand instead of serializin

Maybe use a /8 subnet with reasonable DHCP lease durations to avoid that possibility. I know not all home gear can do it (old WRT54G with stock firmware can’t; thinking more along the lines of pfSense or Ubiquiti routers).

I’m on my first gig involving front-end now, with ExtJS 3.4. A few years before I joined (was able to observe the team from a periphery) they tried using Sencha’s 3.x-to-4.0 migration tool, which left the app in a state still needing attent

It was reversible enough to write the Apache POI library. I maintain code that uses the HSSF streaming API portion of the library, which mainly gives you low-level access to the structures in XLS files. The OO.org folks made some very nice

I’ve been casually trying to knock into the black box of MySQL’s internals with no success yet. I have queries that do GROUP BYs across multiple unindexed columns in frequently large tables, so it ends up with temp tables on disk and file

MySQL has a barebones CSV storage engine: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/se-csv-limitations.h... More usefully, MySQL has LOAD DATA INFILE facilities for bulk loading of flat files.

We specifically had to switch to MyISAM for some things when upgrading from 5.5 to 5.7, in 2017. We were hitting InnoDB’s 4k row limit in many cases (without clobs). Fortunately the tables in question are filled once, updated a couples time
