I have never heard this before. Can you elaborate on the differences? What do you validate on the client side that you don't on the server and vice versa?

by obpe 3y ago
>Node does not absolve from this. Any important verification still needs to be done on the server side, since any JS on the client side cannot be trusted to not be manipulated. JS on the client side was of course possible before NodeJS.

It's kinda funny to me that many of the "pros" of this approach are the exact reasons so many abandoned MPAs in the first place. For instance, a major selling point of Node was running JS on both the client and server so you

If your security posture is mostly filled with current best practices then AI hacks aren't anymore scary than regular hacks. Phishing is by far the number one way we have been hacked in the past. Education, MFA and soon passwordless lo

JS has improved a lot over the years but I am not sure I would want it as the default scripting language for applications. JS is really only useful because it's the language you access the browser's API with. If you are creating a

I recently started working on a project that added TS after the project was very mature. The biggest problem is the project was never intended to have types so they feel very shoehorned in and, imo, cause far more problems than they are sol

I think they are counting on the fact that any recourse you do have would be far more expensive to acquire than the amount owed. Economically, it's probably not in your interest to follow through. Basically, consult a lawyer if you act

I haven't used GPT4 but my experience with Copilot is that it's just inconsistent. I think a big problem for me is I work in a legacy web environment with a lot of technologies that were never popular. So generating generic code t

While I do see huge potential in AI, I personally do not see it as the existential threat you propose in this post. This is something I have thought a lot about. Do you have a CS degree? If so, then it shouldn't matter too much that yo

My go-to stack is Node and React. The fastest is the one you already know. The cheapest is the one you don't use. More scalable requires more complexity. More modern is probably completely useless until it's not modern anymore. Th

This kinda seems like a good idea for rich countries, like Switzerland and Iceland, that are carbon neutral; particularly in their energy generation but this may be actually terrible. The article mentions they have raised $780 million. If t

I think requiring proper ventilation would be enough to force most installations to choose electric because it will be the least costly option. The house I own came with a gas stove and a vent that vented inside (the previous owner said it

It's funny to me how people compare how hot each type of stove gets. Even when I sear a steak, and I like my steaks blue, I barely go above medium on my gas range. Imo, the best thing about gas is the continuous nature of the output an

I am an atheist and a Canadian so we definitely share divergent thinking. I agree the left is dominant in those areas of our culture. I think this is due to the highly concentrated populations of liberals versus the vastly spread out conser

I would say the opposite is true. Brokenists see America as so broken it is not worth fixing and instead should be burned down and built anew. Status quoists see America as flawed but worthy of being fixed. On the other hand, liberals and c

Sure, this is fine for a simple hobby or personal site. But businesses add a lot of extra junk to their sites for their own benefit not the users.

That's very interesting because with some more napkin math... If we assume 3500 additional calories is 1 lb of fat stored on your body, then 3500/300 = 11.6 days you gained 1lb Assuming 6 months is 180 days, then 180/11.6 = 1
