Maybe it’s time companies stop hoarding and reselling users’ personal data. These built-in templates for cookie popups are a joke, IMO.

Could somebody please explain, how come such a sophisticated PaaS provider as Heroku was not able to properly set up multiple AWS availability zones for their own services? I would think that if somebody had expertise to do it flawlessly, i

I don't think this example has anything to do with "stronger typing". A Tuple<Tuple<int, int>, Tuple<int, int>> would have passed the type check just fine the same way, without revealing your error.

Thank you. I cannot say I enjoyed it, I am distressed now. Using a “planet scale” “serverless” database to store just 750k download records per day, and paying per DB row touched, and “thank you for letting us off the hook this time”. This

My VPS provider gives me unlimited traffic, unlimited disk reads, and unlimited DB rows touched for fixed 30 dollars a month, regardless of how much CPU and RAM I keep loaded. This makes me think that these things are at least 100x cheaper

Dedicate 20% of developers’ time on constant updates of all components for a decade just in case you might need one drop-in security module ten years after now (if the company ever lives to see that day)? Does not sound like a good illustra

Is it not hypocrisy to say that? Our job as software developers is literally to kill blue-collar and low-skill jobs by thousands.

Two reasons: - If the author already knows some language well, it’s rather inefficient to master another language just to create a new one. - Rust is likely to be relevant for 11 more years, C is likely to be relevant for 43 more years. Thi

I think a custom package repository could be a proper solution then. This way one would get version upgrades for free. Much better than installing (curl-piping) yet another package management tool `sdkman` with a new syntax. Though, I might

Is there a way to apt-get the new JDK 17 as a package on Ubuntu, instead of piping a shell script from curl or unzipping a tar? Does anybody use package managers on Linux anymore?
