I guess that "there's nothing new under the sun". I used to get annoyed by instances like this where it feels close enough to be essentially a rebrand but now I view it as a posistive thing. If there's someone out there

Docker Swarm was closer to this but never really got the traction to become a serious contender. I really liked being able to use a compose-like file to deploy. It had a much smaller feature set than k8s and some gotchas, but I felt like it

I think this is what BMW does with cars to a large extent (maybe all car manufacturers do?) - an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_B58 They combine standard parts into a number of configurations that aren&#x27

I've just made a similar switch I went from a Pro (2018 i9 Pro with 32GiB of RAM) to an M1 Air with 16GiB of RAM and its ridiculous. I've tried to look up what this difference might be, but all I've found is a hand-wavey answ

Can you elaborate on why leisure travel is more critical?

Does anyone know what the purpose of the base64 encoded strings are in the asset URLs? e.g. If we extract a chunk out of: https://world.hey.com/dhh/a44bf3f3/representations/eyJfcmFpb... We get this string: ey

The article lays out that Germany - a market where property isn't speculated on - has stable houseprices. This is in contrast to English-speaking countries where speculation has caused houseprices to grow beyond the reach of most mille

> It’s easy to say this as someone wealthy enough to spend time commenting on online forums This feels a little ad-hominem. I criticised the argument laid out in the article. Do you agree with the point made in the article? If so, why?

I agreee that speculation on property solely as an asset is an issue, but don't really agree with the premise early in the article around the growth of cities. The argument strikes me as something like this: * An increase in the size o

We're probably optimizing for different things. I'm normally optimizing for easy onboarding of someone new. If this is a personal project with few dependencies then ant is probably good enough.

This article points to ABI as an open optimization problem in kotlin: https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2020/09/the-dark-secrets-o... I think you're right - ABI compatible changes are likely the culprit.

Genuine question: would Amazon suffer such an affiliate to live long term?

How large is the codebase? I moved to kotlin from scala and find the compilation to be rapid in comparison. Fwiw, I’m normally on a beefy desktop so I might just be brute forcing this issue.

The complexity of maven is well understood and battle tested. The complexity of a custom build is not. In my opinion it is of a far more concerning sort of complexity.

This is the point I was hoping for. Your job probably isn’t “write code”. It’s probably something like “build the payment processor “. Code is just an incredibly enjoyable implementation detail.

I think it'll still be a virtual machine? It'll just mean that there could be an ARM native virtual machine rather than one emulating x86.

Will this have an impact of tools that depend on linux like docker on mac? Maybe android emulation? If so, then I'm super excited for it. I'm using an m1 macbook air right now and it's the first compelling mac laptop for me s

I'm a simple man. I see a Julia Evans article, I read it then I upvote. Her blog is one of the best around imo.

An example that springs to mind is a CSRF token [1]. One might use a session cookie so that the server can have a CSRF token on any forms. In this way we still require a session to be present even if the user doesn't have to login. 1:

In enterprise environments, I can see that being a problem. Tools like SAML are more prevalent when SSO is used.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like a very narrow definition of SPA. A SPA can just sit on a different path from the API server and cross-site cookies aren't a problem. For instance, www.example.com/app and www.e

The lack of ddl in a transaction is what scared me away too. Having to manually clean up after a failed migration just felt like something I shouldn't be thinking about.

I’ve generally understood the criticism of DI to be levied at codebases where it was applied to literally every class. I’m not the author, but I don’t imagine that relying on interfaces to abstract between layers of an application or to avo

This sentiment crops up semi-frequently here and I find it really odd. The USA has a lot going for it, but they don’t have a monopoly on impactful tech.

I feel your pain. The AMD fan is good enough thermally for my gaming machine (R5 3600), but I'm not a fan of the trend towards ultra RGB.
