Oh - that's interesting too! But I meant more as a frontend across various integrations a business might have. E.g. having a bot that tells you if your CI failed is currently likely surfaced inside Teams or Slack. Having an internal ch

I like this article, but I would take some issue with the concept of the percentage of time taken up being a major issue. If you go from taking 2 days to write some code and 20 minutes to type check (which does seem long, don't get me

Very good. I was wondering about this a while ago - lots of companies want something to aggregate notifications and perform simple bot actions, but don't necessarily want to lock into a chat provider. Having this as the frontend to a l

I see what you mean, but I think gamers on a budget will cancel. Other gamers would've paid full price for 12 games and instead paid $15 each for 12 games.

Very interesting! How are those garages coordinated? Who designs and who commissions?

Some people will exaggerate one way, and some the other way. The internet is big and you can say, and substantiate, "people said" for any opinion you choose, and show that it was wrong later.

I think it's an 8% drop on the previous usage, not 8% of total compute drop.

That's fair enough - I see what you mean. I think I read the case I was thinking into the article. Now I re-read it, it is saying what you're saying, which does make a lot of sense. Using types like this also means you can more ea

This feels right, and I also have never done it (or had the guts to get others to do it). The reason I've not is - say there's an optional field. Currently we call that null, probably, and check each time if it's there or not

But then "meant to" is doing the heavy lifting here. You could (and should) say that a JWT library is meant to default to secure.

I'm not the previous poster, but in my experience you can get a lot of mileage out of having dev teams (tediously, at least the first time) go through all potential vulnerabilities, decide how risky each one is based on likelihood and

I'm not sure that's true. Jobs have moved overseas at a rapid rate in the past. What careers have been eliminated, and over what time period?

True. Perhaps it could be done using a Link header, although that won't give you the total number of records.

You can definitely make a webview app that starts as quickly as most native thing (sub-1s start). We used Tauri and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

You could have a SQL library that defaults to inserting "OR 1=1" to every update query, which the SQL standard allows. I would blame the library.
