To expand on this I believe an aws load balancer is $30 / mo. For early stage projects, and particularly for personal projects it's more cost efficient to use haproxy. As an added bonus it's got all the bells and whistles to

The code output by typescript is generally pretty readable depending on the target, and the source mapping works very well regardless. The debuggers in all major browsers and ides handle it fine. I've not come across any bugs caused by

> I just don't like the idea of depending on transpilers to not suck when creating the final code How does this differ from trusting a compiler or interpreter? Every language has to be translated to machine code in some way.

I had a fun one a few years back - the company it guy pulled me aside and then with a lot of hesitation/beating around the bush told me that someone on my team had been mining crypto at work and that they would have to format their mac

I prefer to lean heavily on e2e/integration tests as much as possible, because I've found most bugs arise from the boundaries between discreet systems, particularly when they are developed by different teams. However the point I w

Personally I've found that the value in the tests you are describing is in proving that you've fixed the issue. When you have a race condition that is difficult to reason about or reproduce, if you can distil it down to a test cas

Completely agree - augmenting teams with extra people can have the opposite of the desired effect depending on the situation. There's only so much work that can be parallelized efficiently before people start stepping on each others to

I think it would probably just make sense to run postgres on a compressed filesystem rather than use an extension. Looks like citus had good results: https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2013/04/30/zfs-compress

Hmm I think the default pg_hba.conf uses "trust" and so will allow passwordless connections as postgres on localhost, you just have to specify the username (psql will use your username by default) This is the case for the official

For software that you only occasionally use custom icons with no labeling is a real productivity killer. It's so much worse on mobile without tooltips as well, maybe we need to standardise a long press giving a description or something

I don't quite understand your argument. I use my distros package manager in a very similar way to how you describe brew for my tools, and also use containers in the contexts you describe. Only difference I see is that my containers are

You shouldn't need to top-up that late in the evening - friendly credit should be applied in most cases after 8pm, caveat elec only and it will shutoff at 8am Although some older models don't have this Ref https://help.

Interesting I wasn't aware of coin operated traditional meters. Modern prepay meters in the UK can be topped up from your phone, or by entering a code if it fails to reach the meter. Your friend should see if they're are to get a

I had the pleasure of building software requirements from legislation once and discovered that everything left room for interpretation, made what seemed on the face of it a relatively well understood thing difficult to build.

I used to have a 10 minute walk to work, and it was great. I'd take 1-2 days WFH a month still because there was some work that simply needed no interruptions/distractions. Now I have a 60-75 minute commute over underground, and I

This is really a problem. Ideally this would be approached in a similar way to TLS errors in browsers - scary warning, but ability to proceed anyway if you understand the risks. Certainly for banking apps etc at least

As far as I recall pinball had no micro transactions. For what it's worth I always enjoyed the "stock" games like pinball, solitaire, freecell and minesweeper. But I liked them tucked away under the clear label of the games s
