Surely though, for a given total light intensity, dark mode allows for much higher contrast than the corresponding light mode?

Oh, that's great to hear! Still not going to upgrade unless some extremely critical vulnerability comes out, though. Tab queue and uMatrix are both killer features for me.

Yes, but not because software engineers are worse human beings than civil engineers, which is all too often the undertone of these discussions. Rather, because software engineering hasn't killed enough people to advance; or when it has

A few years ago I reviewed a platform offer from a corporation you've heard of. They had a similar clause regarding data protection issues - it basically said "all your data is going to be sent to US servers and we're going t

Terminal (human) UI and scripting (machine) UI should be separate if the latter is a concern at all. Think Debian's apt which is intended for human use, while apt-get is for scripts and sticks to a predictable console output.

It's difficult to grant an untrusted client a level of raw SQL access that won't let them do harm. For example, even without access to any specific table or function, even with rate limits, I can denial-of-service the server by as

That's exactly backwards. People who don't want to learn SQL tend to write CRUD API and rely on code-first ORMs to manage the database. When you instead use PostgREST, or Hasura, you're usually going to write a ton of SQL -

Anecdotally, I have a valid reverse DNS on my home ISP-provided static IP, and when I tried setting up a mail server I got blacklisted on the spot. (I eventually went with a Tutanota account, fwiw)

If your API needs to serve data that lives in multiple sources, then PostgREST is definitely not the right tool. It is, however, a pretty common design to have all your data flowing into a database, and being served from there. Indeed, it&#

Not sure if you count it as a corner case, but podman lacks a docker-compose equivalent - last I checked, a few months ago, there was only a community port project that still needed a lot of work.

A lot of the better-quality pizzerias now offer a 48-hour dough option. IIRC the longer it is left to rise, the less yeast it requires, and the easier it is to digest.

It's entirely about backwards compatibility and commit cleanliness. Say you have an int field and you want to change it to an int array field. To support existing code, you add a method that returns the first element of the array (let&

There's barely any overhead to consuming c# libraries from f#. You type "open SomeLib" instead of "using SomeLib;" and "let x = SomeClass (foo, bar)" instead of "var x = new SomeClass(foo, bar)".

Range types in the Pascal family, unless I'm mistaken, are not checked for legitimate values at compile time - they just crash at runtime if you try to create one with an invalid value. Syntactic sugar for an assert statement in the co
