Well I don't want to throw poop at Flutter but I hope so. There's no need for yet another language for doing cross-platform mobile apps and having single overlord (Google) financing the language (Dart) as well as the toolkit (Flut

Huh. Now that was some high-stakes poker right there. It seems the casino knew they were breaking the TOS and paying too little and Cloudflare caught up with that. Then knowing their situation they decided to ask for payment for all the exp

Great! Hopefully this makes using dynamic import easier when you say want to chunk your language dependencies and only import them as needed during runtime. As I just tried this with Vite it was quite a hassle and I decided it was easier to

Yea, I suppose Zed is better. Just tried it as VSCode has started to feel sluggish on my M1. At a glance, only annoying things (so far) are the illegible hidden file names (really blurry) and no Markdown or other previews. Icons are also re

That's an interesting point. It seems though the man has written many books prior getting published so maybe he is just running through his back catalogue. Remarkable perseverance to keep going after all the rejections.

Sounds like the author really likes their OOP. Nothing wrong with that but I hope the trivia is reflective of the job. I find programming to be mostly manual labor where common sense trumps many clever paradigms.

People are throwing hyperboles while the incident is merely symbolic. Nothing changes whatsoever. And while it's easy to armchair guestimate Russia and its future, we western folk simply cant truly understand the nation and its people.

Not really. I dont recall ever-reading about people being scammmed into buying USD. But the term Ponzi here is definitely quite loose and cryptos have some value as digital asset outside government jurisdiction. Well unless they completely

Yeah I think they are though artificially inflated by Amazon and co since why on earth can Audible sell them 8$ every month. Luckily there are a lot of old public domain books that you can listen to. Reading what Brandon Sanderson has to sa

I just looked and the last Song of Ice and Fire audiobook is 41€ in Apple Books. That is hilariously insane. I could perhaps pay that for all of them but for 1 — the others are basically the same price. That's 200€ for the set. There a

I havent had good experience with either Flutter or React Native and at this point I am willing to bite the bullet and try native next. And they say webdev is bad.

Google was too expensive for Yahoo multiple times. You should look this from a bigger time scale. Sure they were paying a lot of goodwill on the deal. But if, down the road, Figma now starts their trajectory to become an equal to Adobe it s

I wonder is There also is Hetzner and their dedicated servers. You pay for a server with a 1Gb/s connection and all egress is free. Unfortunately, I can't recommend them as each time I've tried to create an account,

Yes, that's beginners in nutshell. It's why it's so important to educate them rather than take the opposite stance which is to chastise them for being so inept. I wouldn't take their bad questions that personally myself,

I think this is the only way as of moment. Just desensitize yourself to the sound until there's no effect on you. One thing I tried as I was still anxious about the matter that I had damaged my hearing permanently, was sitting in a pre

I also considered AWS but then decided to go with Hetzner. For me it's a learning experience as well so I enjoy figuring out stuff. AWS would have cost 3-4x although I am using RDS for now. I have scripts but use Ansible to setup snaps

I wonder if you could circumvent some of this with the default first/given & last/family name with two checkboxes to choose the preferred name to be called with. Of course it wouldn't be bullet-proof if you wanted to subs

NodeJS was designed to run single-threaded. Sure, you can use cluster module to run it with multiple but there's memory overhead and the ergonomics of sharing state and message-passing is nowhere near GenServer. Not to mention all the

Interesting. I'm in the process of trying to setup a k3s cluster on Hetzner but it's really a can of worms trying to make sense of all the different services and configuration. Makes me think should I ride the Ansible horse just a

Wonder how the current job market situation affects these tricks. Some of those salaries seem pretty crazy to me but then again, how else are you going to pay for that ridiculously expensive house and college tuition.

It's a cool library but rarely I get to write something so convoluted in JS/TS that Ramda would make it appear simpler. Rather, it often makes it more convoluted since you can't look directly from the code what a function is

You can scale even a stack made out of machine code if you just keep throwing money at it. I guess I should have phrased the question, how maintainable and tech debt free the code base is. It's obvious that scalable is in how many peop

Interesting architecture. Asynchronous message passing at scale becomes quite a PITA very quickly. Wonder how scalable the code base really is. Probably Java isn't that bad of a choice considering the tooling although it's not my

I've thought about this and i think it's analogous to becoming a performing artist. You have to either have a burning passion for something, possibly because you werent loved enough as a child, or a huge ego that makes you think a
