I really wished this had worked for me. I was right on the line of high blood pressure. I would have good days and bad days. Once the bad days started to outweigh the good, my in-laws suggested a magnesium supplement. I tried that for a few

Vault has been in use at several of my former companies. I haven't even considered what they might do.

This is a very solid counterpoint to my argument. The no throw in a lambda is a fairly nasty wart and should have been handled in a more conformant way.

Compulsive intellectual thrill-seekers... while I never want to call names, this does seem to explain the phenomena quite well. There are just some people out there that need the world to know how smart they are. Anecdotal: I do know one gu

Perhaps, but what you may not understand is that not ALL developers _want_ a purely functional language. For some, things like Kotlin hit a sweet-spot. One can lean a bit more into a functional style, or they can lean more into an OO style

Back when I used to use Ruby 10 years ago, I got used to doing the "no docs" args when I'd do a gem install. I always thought it was a cool idea to have local docs but, I never had an occasion to actually USE them. (never was

I can kind of understand. Apple at that time period wasn't very "think different" yet. Gil Amelio still had the company in its own "beige box" era. The idea that a store would be selling a "less compatible&quot

With Apple, you get the marriage of great hardware with (what I consider) an okay operating system. I VASTLY prefer Linux and use it daily. Since it's Arch, and since I'm currently using Hyprland as my desktop, I sincerely doubt t

So far the responses have been lukewarm to negative. I'm all for a framework as big as Spring, blazing the trail to use Virtual Threads! I haven't used Spring Boot in a few years, and Webflux was a paradigm shift that didn't

I was using a similarly spec'ed home-built PC at that time. It was an ugly beige box with a 15" beige monitor. I convinced my girlfriend to buy that Bondi-Blue box with only USB ports as she needed a new computer for her upcoming

this one's my absolute favorite: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-public-ip?activeTab=code Not a single bit of "React" in the code. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with React. But I've seen it in

Oh my.... yes. For me, that would have been Angular 1.x days. And while it was neat having a tool that could pull a deterministic flat list of dependencies, I wouldn't go back to those days. I do wholeheartedly agree that injecting cor

I worked for a cable company in the mid-90s. The amount of boxes that disappeared (and couldn't be located) was insane. The folks that procured them also used a "bullet blocker" (basically a resistor) to avoid the box being d

Yup! That's the avenue we took. A React app as an editor, content blocks are represented as a large JSON structure. That structure is stored in a DB via Drupal. (The editor is actually jacked into the Drupal page editor). We use GraphQ

I love the idea. Telling our content folks, "you can choose 1 of 8 different templates" would be great. In actual practice it's more like, "Ok, we want to use part of that template and we need to modify part of that othe

The drag-n-drop blocks/slices of content CMSes look cool in demos. As someone who has an in-house developed CMS editor just like this, it's a nightmare of constant updates. "Can we right align text and turn it blue?", &q

So crazy that at the news of Kevin Mitnick's passing, I immediately started thinking of this movie. Probably a lot of folks did. Thanks for sharing this.

I doubt it as well. Back in the day, I worked for an elected official who insisted on being a Domain Admin in our Active Directory tree. My co-worker and I used to joke, "think he wants to be a Schema Admin too?"

While I totally agree, and I come from a time where one couldn't be a full stack JavaScript developer. (Also a time when folks DID make their living doing bread and butter style Delphi/PowerBuilder/FoxPro/VB apps). I get

I'm on the latest kernel (Arch btw) and I still have to manually "sleep" my Dell XPS 9500. To add insult to injury, it's not even "real" S3 sleep. It's Microsoft, "we want access to your machine 24&#x

For me it was the waste lines giving me trouble. The drain lines for a tub in a house built in 1962. The size of the inlet meant I wasn't finding a drain at Home Depot.

Yes! I saw a youtube video and of course, it had me believing I needed to own this tool even though I'm not a plumber.

It took us a LOT of years to realize that running bare pipes inside the concrete slab was a really bad idea. Jagged limestone leads to pinhole leaks. Many Florida residents have their second set of pipes running through their attics. PEX ma

But it's actually a _really bad_ strategy for a startup! It'll be realized the moment you try to hire for hip-tech-du-jour. Most likely, you don't even have the problem that hip-tech-du-jour claims to solve.

But this is what FB/Meta are known for. They managed to scale PHP for years. They did fork it into Hack. They do have their own extensions. But they've put a ton of time and engineering effort into it. They didn't do it becau

This is a cycle we can expect for any platform that has the bills. Hosting is not free. Storage is not free. Bandwidth is not free. Labor to fix bugs and develop features is not free. So this constant expectation that it should all be free

This is what it was like to read any Kotlin book for the past few years. The general assumption was, "we all know Java, and we're all using IntelliJ... so this is analogous to....". It's useful for Java developers of cou

That particular example is Windows 10, that's correct. My comment was mostly about how to find things in the new "settings" experience.
