Real time pressure information is valuable when being reported from lots of geographically dispersed devices. Its a way of tracking weather fronts. The "discontinued" device is still a little google money printer.

In my personal experience, if you are being dazzled by headlights from behind, its a tesla. They have always been that way. Im not accusing them of being involved in "headlightgate", but it would be great if somebody did some rese

Had to ban RU, CN, SG, and KR just cos of the volume of spam. The random referer headers has recently become a problem. This is particularly annoying as knowing where people come from is important. Its just another reason to give up making

Would be interested to know about the a11y story on web and other platforms. Does it integrate with screen readers, accessible navigation tools, a11y apis, etc. This is somewhere quite a few tools fall down. For example, for web: Rendering

Its true that aws is very expensive for a lot of use cases, as long as you only count the cost of the servers. However, in most (every?) large organisations, buying a server and putting it in a DC, and looking after it, is hugely time-consu

Perfetto is so nice. Viztracer is a super library to capture perfetto compatible output from Python. It helped me find perf issues in literally minutes. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/time4tea/gopro-dashboard-o...

Result<T> is a built-in in kotlin, but this enforces that the error type is a Throwable If you fancy that an error could be just a type, not necessarily a Throwable, you might like Result4k - it offers a Result<T,E> https:&#x2F

Proguard obfuscation, particularly when you get to aggressive renaming (there are a lot of valid characters for a java class or method), flattening, overloading and inlining, can make it very hard to understand what is actually happening. I

Agreed! But i didnt miss the example.... i also thought it was interesting that all the various examples of declarative or applicative did Date.now(), which i see as a big thing to avoid.

by time4tea 11mo ago
Not a single person in this thread commented on the use of Date.now() and similar - surely clock.now() - you never ever want to use global time in any code, how could you test it? clock in this case is a thing that was supplied to the class

Quite conventional - its how FreeType works. Computing a bitmap for a glyph is expensive because of all the splines and whatnot. https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step1.html#sect...

If you use aws control tower to set up your stuff, this will happen sort of automatically. Its been recommended practice for ages... Use SCP (service control policy) to disable any services and regions you dont use. Tada. Much harder to get

Hetzner are great. Cloud was a reaction to overlong procurement timeline in company managed DC. This is still a thing, it still takes half a year to get a server into a DC!! However probably 99% of use cases dont need servers in your own DC

Have you seen https://typeflows.io/ It takes your programming language version and turns it into github actions yaml, so you dont need to do any of that sort of thing.

Maybe its just that the allocator is absolutely fine for single thread programs, and that's what a lot of programs are... Its not so long ago that the GNU libc had a very similar allocator too, and thats why you'd pop Hoard in you

You can run docker swarm easy peasy. Its not that trendy, but anyone can manage it, and you can migrate to k8s later if you need to. Of course it doesn't do some of the things that k8s does, and thats why its less complicated... Edit:

Two main reasons i see: - poor testing between front and backend so that ppl don't know what versions of apps can work on that versions of apis, so forcing updates, "just to be safe" - security slop - forcing the update of ap

Any company that does this, but yaks on about 2fa/security is just gaslighting you. Sane for those that only offer 2fa as part of cost plus deal. SSO or 2fa are table stakes for companies that care about you - even at a free tier. Both

Cycling is so much more effective than cars.. actually approx 5x more in terms of street usage. So when people move to bikes, the streets look way less busy. You'd need a 5x more bike traffic than car traffic for the two lanes to be eq

You can recompile libc if you want to change the limit, or at least you could in the past.
