It was both. A 24/7 repository and a 24/7 web URL for the code. Those two features together let devs inspect and download code, and open and discuss issues. The URL also let automated tools download and install packages. Familiar

Universally known to whoever wanted to intercept that traffic. Maybe and hopefully not known to the staff of those networks (the current staff could be maintaining what somebody else set up) as some of those companies fixed the problem when

You are right but $ unicode Command 'unicode' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install unicode and it did. So it really was available. That's Debian 11.

My experience is that Celery is fragile. It loses the connection with RabbitMQ sometimes and it needs a restart to recover. I never had those problems with Rails and Sidekiq + Redis.

It's like the Olympics, you have to win the basketball gold medal every 4 years or accept that somebody else is better than you at that game. Every medal can be the last one forever. Sports are sports, not being good at other matters c

Maybe they'll have to tour and meet people in person because videos will be devoid of trust. On the other side we want to believe in something, so we'll believe in the video that will suit our beliefs. It's an interesting str

I can share links to myself with a messenger but it's much faster to share them to a given device and see its browser open a tab to that link. It works inside apps too: I can share a video from phone to tablet (NewPipe, probably YouTub

That bag full of cash will keep being a bag full of cash but the passion project will likely become driven by whoever hands you the bag and will head towards their goals, not yours. Anyway you'll keep the cash. It's not different

I can drink three coffee cups at midnight and sleep well. It doesn't even make me feel more awake in the morning. Nothing. Apparently I'm immune. I drink coffee especially in the form of cappuccino (the Italian one, in case the na

Because even if service A is using multiple cloud providers not all the external services they use are doing the same thing, especially the smallest one or the cheapest ones. At least one of them is on AWS East-1, fails and degrades service

I read the code but I'm not sure I understood all of it (I'm familiar with Elixir, not with Gleam). For normal matters I do believe that your approach works but (start returns the pid of the server, right?) what is it going to hap

In the case of a costumer of mine the AWS outage manifested itself as Twilio failing to deliver SMSes. The fallback plan has been disabling the rotation of our two SMS providers and sending all messages with the remaing one. But what if the

It's a 128 bit number. If you express that number in base 62 (26 upper case letters + 26 downcase letters + 10 digits) you need only a bit more than 20 characters. You can compress it further by increasing the base and using other 8 bi

My customers return created_at attributes in all their API calls so UUIDv7 won't harm them at all. They also use sequential ids. Only one of them ever used UUIDv4 as primary key. We didn't have any performance problem but the whol

Maybe $30k or $40k are nothing for the average car owner in the USA but that's 3 or 4 times what a small car used to cost here in Europe, even 5 times. Small cars are going extinct or their price doubled because they are transitioning

IMHO Django's templating engine is its worst feature but that only proves how subjective all these matters can be. I'm currently making money both from Django and Rails. I made quite a bit of money from Phoenix years ago. Customer

Probably. In web development it's usually get data, transform data, send data. That's in both directions, client to server and viceversa. Transformations are almost always simple. Native apps maybe do something more client side o

That's the standard way stoplights work in Italy. Cars have to yield to pedestrians so it's common to see cars start the right turn and then wait in a line until all pedestrians have crossed the street.

But why only in the USA? Cars and phones are the same in all the countries listed in the OP and it's not SUVs vs sedans. So are we left with your last point, different infrastructure?

Because they thought they could take Ukraine in one week, so why not? And when they realized the mistake it's impossible to back down without losing face and life by the hand on the next leadership. So yes, it's existential, but n
