Absolute bs. This falls into the category of "we rewrote a thing written by people that didn't know what they were doing, and it was better" Large class hierarchies (favour composition over inheritance since 1990!), poorly wr

If it fits on a single disk, it's not big data. Me, circa 2007, when lovely hadoop guy trying to tell me how good it was for 10m rows of data... It was much slower than Oracle free version as I recall.

It's totally unreasonable to ask somebody to do so much free work, and the outputs are hard to judge, and likely not the candidate's own work anyhow, so almost entirely pointless. Remember kids "just say no"

This could be interesting, but all the example code is so poor, and the extent of the fix so limited that it feels like this is 'AI' for the sake of it. Stringly-typed, catch-log-ignore, generates warnings in IDE anyway... Fixed 9

aka use Tiny Types, they will help you. Been true in all statically typed languages for decades! It's good advice.

Love that final thought. (AI slop). If it's not worth writing, it's not worth reading. Perfect.

Variable pay for sales roles is the driver of vast amounts of broken behaviour. You've seen it it your own companies, but also in the various financial crashes. It immediately sets everyone's goals in non-coherent directions. Won

20+ years ago used ASN.1 for talking between micro services. (HTTP Services, as they were called then) Very performant. Had to buy OSS tools licence but other than that quite nice.

Yeah my small site got 170k requests from one bot in a few mins. Of course it was rate limited, but didn't seem to know 429 or 444 (drop connection) so kept on coming back for more. I do have ipset drop too but at the moment takes a p

The jvm is a pretty insane beast. It will do usage based recompilation, escape analysis for memory, so non heap allocation is super fast, has great memory safety... But a lot of people use it with spring/spring boot, a technology desig

Just another scam Internet surveillance. Why do you need to share tracking data with many hundreds of shady organisations.

Memories of EMC Symmetrix SRDF. Was a bit more expensive then though, but it was quite nice.

There was a NASA laserdisc at school with loads of shuttle information. It was hooked up to a Mac running HyperCard, for navigation and displaying info. It was pretty cool, although I think at the time I didn't appreciate it as much.

A lot of people here are telling you to do stuff, but not really explaining "why". A different suggestion would be to build a threat model. Who are your uploaders? Who are your viewers? What are the threats? Only when you've

Raspberry pi controller $30, couple of people to make it work - let's say $500k. Sure... there are loads of things that probably need attention, but maybe you don't need to fix them all at once?

Importing libs from a cdn is a big no-no for almost any system I work on - they are just another way of surveilling users on the Internet, and building information about the insides of organisations.

In UK law, it is presumed that computers systems work perfectly, and it is up to the "other side" to prove they didn't. In short, if the computer said so, it is a fact, in court. Lots more information here https://

(I have a heat pump) You can get electricity at 7.5pkWh. With a battery, I get 12h of cheap electricity per day, and the rest at higher prices. At the coldest time of the year, I'm getting an average of 20pkWh. This is just a fraction

Can confirm that in my 1920s house, now with heat pump, my energy use is now a fraction of what it used to be, since replacing boiler with heat pump. Before: Jan 600kWh electricity, 3300kWh gas = 3900kWh After: Jan 1580 kWh electricity, 20k
