It's my go to fun fact whenever the situation is suitable for it. People often have never realized this. (My other fun fact is that South America in its entirety lies East of Florida, and not below North America, most people memorize S

Great read. I didn't know it's so easy to plot something in the terminal. Also really shows the power of 2D data structures. A good long format and you can do anything.

Yes, only it takes a while to figure out the right level of abstraction for your organization. It's difficult to start right out of the box with the right type of modularization.

Sure teams in large organizations allow other teams to randomly create folders? Also I've rarely seen an internal code base that is easy to grasp. You can create your own microservice and set up an API in 1/5th of the time it take

Exactly, I missed this completely in the article. In my experience, microservices attempt to solve organizational problems and not technical problems. There are technical downsides to microservices that may be outweighed by organizational b

A super well-maintained version of the POSIX bc calculator. It's faster, less buggy and more feature-rich. It's included in macOS[1], but unfortunately not in any other major distributions yet. [1] https://gavinhoward.c

I've been using this for years but never knew it was a spin-off from Caddy. I really like it!

While you are right, remember there are usually additional layers of security (and if not, there should be). On the network level, you would only allow ports 80/443 to reach the machine. And if you use a containerized deployment, you w

In a sense, an opinionated collection of tools _is_ a solution.

Unfortunately, anything that's powerful enough to simplify complex configuration is also powerful enough to accidentally make fatal errors.

Exactly, ambiguous contractual agreements are always in favor of those with more power.

How did you come to the conclusion that other citizens via the government should pay for you time off? Your employer needs to pay for it. It's not a welfare benefit.

Fundamental worker rights should be covered in a national law. The EU is huge as well, and economically and culturally and order of magnitude more diverse than the US, and every worker in the EU is entitled to at least 4 weeks of paid time

I agreed with you until you went overboard with your last sentence. A "hostile" platform? What in the world? You literally just mentioned how easy it can be to avoid all this crap. There is nothing "hostile" about the we

Big corps are risk management companies. The happy path is that you will have a working solution at a fraction of the cost. Mid to worst case scenario is that you end up over your head, the costs are higher than you anticipated and the end

It's technically possible, but it looks horrible and should be avoided because of lack of readability. Keep the templates plain and simple, and store your business logic elsewhere.

by mmcnl 3y ago
Stricly speaking it's a render function indeed, but it does serve the same functional purpose as what people usually call "templates", i.e. defining a dynamic view only once.
350.
by mmcnl 3y ago
I totally agree. Templating is not the critical factor indeed. The templates shouldn't contain business logic so they should be simple by default. If not then you're following an anti-pattern.
351.
by mmcnl 3y ago
This discussion never ends. It's so subjective and totally not important at all. Templates shouldn't contain complex logic anyway, only formatting logic with some for loops. You can learn any syntax in 30 minutes if needed. The ba

I'm more interested to hear what discoveries have lead to meaningful results. There are a lot of news articles on potential medical breakthroughs but I have no idea how medicine is actually advancing.

It's interesting to see how a big company with a lot of talented engineers would build a brand-new web app, since there's so many ways to achieve similar results.

There are computing devices that are not mobile phones or laptops that also depend on encrypted connections. Usually these devices last a lot longer.

Remix has sketchy/questionable marketing. Seemingly independent techfluenchers suddenly endorsing the product. Unfair comparisons with competitors to make the product look better. Most people talking about Remix aren't actually us

That's why I love Vue as well. It's developer & product-focused. No fancy marketing. Great docs. Approachable maintainers.

Mac hardware is better though. My HP Elitebook from last year is a pretty good device: good screen, solid build, nice glass touchpad, really great keyboard. But the screen resolution is only 1080p, the battery lasts for 6 hours and the fan

That's what I did. I have a HP Elitebook that runs Linux + Windows 11 (really, Windows is not the Windows from 10 years ago, developer experience is pretty great these days, I much prefer it to macOS). For iOS app development I have a

Windows 11 + Windows Terminal + Windows Subsystem for Linux + VS Code is not clunky at all in my opinion. It looks and works great. If you want to use Docker it's actually better than macOS because you don't need to install bloate
