The one thing I don't like about shorts is the absence of video playback controls. Otherwise, meh, it's fine, I guess. As far as overall strategy and vision for YouTube, it seems incompetent. They're just copying other platfo

Whenever I know I'm dealing with a large array of objects (and still want them to be user readable/editable) I typically choose to represent them in CSV format, sometimes with a special separation character. Is there an advantage

Julia is a very pleasant language to work with. The type system, multiple dispatch, and package system all make it into top 10 of design. The only change I would recommend is to have a way to distinguish between creating and setting a varia

I found this go.dev blog entry from 2018. It looks like the average pause time they were able to achieve was significantly less than 1ms back then. "The SLO whisper number here is around 100-200 microseconds and we will push towards th

There are some neat front end libraries like Leaflet and Cesium. The back end is quite varied since I often work with clients that have very custom and specific work they want done, sometimes on their own network isolated from the net. I ac

The web was originally designed to be hyperlinked documents. So all the tech we've developed to make web applications has been a horrible hack. With that in mind, my opinion is that all these web stacks have made things worse. I'v

The json annotation is optional, but very powerful since it allows you to set the mapped name of the field to any name you like, allowing you to map json fields with snake_case, CamelCase, kebab-case, etc.

One gem I found when I was shopping for a laptop is the Dell Inspiron 7559 (part of their "gaming" series). I bought the most expensive $1300 version last winter and it's been great. - 4k touchscreen - i7 Skylake processor w&

I used to enthusiastically climb the ladder of abstraction. Learning and applying advanced concepts made me feel smart, plus they were so cool . However, I found I never actually reused my super-awesome-advanced code. In fact, it was just

You can't teach someone to read or write without learning the alphabet. The command-line is the alphabet. You may have flowery notions of the wonderful poetry you're going to write, but if you can't spell a word the real bull
