I honestly first thought this article was satire. It is so unreal to find myself in a world where this is acceptable. What's next? Installing cameras in restrooms to catch offline conversations?

Kamelets and the Karavan UI in combination with k8s and Knative for "serverless" integrations looks interesting.

I am in the same situation. I tend to get messages on Slack after hours on work days due to the different work hours, but almost never on weekends and holidays. I assume that an extra long weekend would be more beneficial.

It's similar to how some development choices are made too. Examples: Rewriting the system in a new language, change a framework or create your own from scratch. I have fallen into that trap myself. I have read about some exciting new t

That's also why I can't stand some of the modern pixel-games. They are too blocky and doesn't work well on modern screens. Using blocky graphics is not "retro" at all. It's more an artistic impression of how th

Jetbrains support offline activation, using a key. I don't know if it has an expiration date, but it could be a solution.

Web developers may not create their own frameworks as much as game developers, but many spend a lot of time switching frameworks, libraries or simply just rewriting existing applications. I see this tendency at work, where the relatively si

Java's Duration is also useful for time units void foo(Duration duration); var result = foo(Duration.ofHours(2)); You can also do simple calculations easily var bar = Duration.ofHours(2).plusMinutes(30);

You can still get performance issues with a view if you "select *" on a large amount of data, or join with other views. By exposing the SQL to a web page, you also open up for DDoS attacks more easily, as you can write complex SQL

I agree with you on general basis, but in this case it seems that Stripe provides a dashboard containing key data. It's not unreasonable to expect that critical payment failures would be displayed as well. It's always a risk to ma

Even if you solve the security issue, a query can easily bring down the server if it has a complex join query. This could be solved by only exposing stored procedures, but that just moves the code to the database server instead of the REST

I see your point, but managing state is not free on the client side either. Frontend frameworks usually come with some built in state management, but once it starts to be more complicated we often need to find a 3rd party library to manage

You have a valid point, but the article states that they place darks stores in residential areas to decrease the delivery time. There is a need for these services, but we also need to think about all those who are negatively impacted by thi

That has several drawbacks for a business: 1. Due to demands from marketing/sales, the supplier tends to increase versions for what is actually a minor feature, just to justify a new payment. 2. A subscription process is the most hones
