Is there a pattern that securely allows JS clients to make arbitrary SQL queries? Or is this a feature of REST? Maybe this is why people invented GraphQL? But then that comes with its own issues... Either way, is it as simple as you’re maki

Been running some flavour of Debian for > 10 years. Now on my dell XPS 13 9350. Upgraded to Debian 10, a kernel regression broke the brcfmac driver for my Broadcom wireless. Now I need to disable power saving on the WiFi card. Still, som

Could you share this? I'm a backend developer and I just want to make light frontends with flexbox, grid and javascript. But it'd be nice to scale to more complex UIs also with a few functions.
