For a long time now, I feel like it may not be a good idea to choose a MS UI. It seemed they just start a new framework every other year or so. For example, there is WinForms, WPF, UWP, Metro (don't know what it was called back then, b

The reason for that being not that good basically has the same reason as with coercion rules in weakly typed languages like JavaScript. If I'm passing a string to an int column, there is most likely an issue in my application code. If

I know about STRICT tables [0], but they still follow the quirky coercion rules. The reasoning seems to be that other DBMs have a similar behaviour. However, I want _errors_ if I insert '123' into an INT column, so it's easie

I really like SQLite and I use it a lot. There are only two things that are missing to make it near-perfect: - A type for Instants / time handling - being strict with types. No inserts of ints into a string column

I'm using it since it was launched. For my use case, it lacked the ability to use a different container for a page based on the entire URL, not just the domain. For example, I've certain GitHub orgs that I'm using a separate

GitHub recommends using GH Pages for that. Raw links cause a higher server load and aren't even being served with the correct mime type.

You can use these template literal types + infer to build an entire SQL parser. I did a POC that infers SQL query types by parsing the SQL query on a type level: https://github.com/nikeee/sequelts Building this parser

In Germany, there is "giropay" [1], which is a service offered by most banks. The Wikipedia article states that it's similar to iDEAL. Giropay is some kind of federalized solution where you enter your BIC on a landing page an

This seems similar to the way command like arguments work on windows. On Linux, the system call für spawning a process uses a string array for them. On windows, it's a single string. The string needs to be parsed by the application, ma

Enjoy it as long as you can. As soon as this kind of hardware is close to becoming commodity, software will get as slow as it is currently on commodity hardware. It's part of Wirth's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/w

I understand the desire to just use the default app. I feel the same for most of the stuff I use. However, being based on standards is more like being based on the lowest common denominator. Moxie describes the issue pretty good in his post

One important thing about containers is that they isolate the process and it can not access files it is not explicitly allowed to. If I'm getting this right, WASI is basically just POSIX for WASM. This means that it does not provide so

GitHub does this with the tokens they issue. They even have a checksum in the token, so they can check if the token is syntactically valid: https://github.blog/2021-04-05-behind-githubs-new-authentica... They have a list of

You can sue Tagged/Branded types for that: https://medium.com/@KevinBGreene/surviving-the-typescript-ec... It's a simple hack that takes a type and adds an additional field to it. You can then use a User-Defi

I've recently used Hurl [1] in some projects. It seems to have a similar goal and I like i a lot though it misses "imports" which makes modeling of more complex workflows hard. [1]: https://hurl.dev

I'm curious on how to make such a change in such a large and living code base. Did you consider _not_ re-indenting the entire code base and rely on the auto formatters of contributing people? Did you consider re-formatting parts of the

It's not just cookies, it affects all client-side storage that can be used to track people. This means that this kind of API would also be needed for localStorage etc. This is where it things will get complicated. I don't know if

If I understand this API correctly, Java won't get a distinct float16 type. It seems that they'll have 16 bit floats encoded in shorts (16 bit integers). This seems like it could be a huge footgun. A lot of methods already have an
