Looking at what AOP is still used for nowadays, it's pretty clear that the killer application for AOP was always logging (and nowadays that would also include tracing). There were many other suggested use cases of course: transactions,

The relationship between Kotlin and Java is not the same as TypeScript and JavaScript. TypeScript is intentionally a syntactical superset of JavaScript. It only adds type annotations and nothing else. This allows TypeScript to be easily com

While virtual threads will be stable in Java 21, Structured Concurrency is still a preview feature. You probably won't see it in production anytime soon. Preview features require a special flag when compiling and running them, and they

I have to say that the long-s looks quite horrible in Verdana, and probably most other sans-serif font. That makes sense, since most Sans Serif typefaces significantly postdate the abandonment of the long-s. If you want to see how it shoul

I think the view of asynchronous functions as "upwardly infectious" comes from focusing too much on JavaScript. Async/Await arguably[1] first debuted on C#, and in C# you could always call Task.Wait() or Task.Result to block

The main issue with AES-CBC+HMAC (besides speed), is that unless you're using a library that offers a complete primitive that combines these algorithms[1], you will have to combine the encryption and MAC yourself. In this case, you wil

This is a fork of tptacek's 2015's Cryptographic Right Answers Gist [1]. I think the original 2015 file is somewhat better than this fork. The fork is more up-to-date, but just offers too many options and is probably to confusing

Sure, GOPATH really sucked, but that's why we got Go Modules. I don't think it's fair to compare Python to Go anymore. I wish Python got a standard integrated solution for package management that works. pip doesn't cut i

Firing full-time employees in Japan is quite hard. If the company is taken to court, the burden of proof is quite high. Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, so all that I say here is my personal understanding, from working in Japan, but also

XMLHttpRequest was available since Firefox was called Firefox[1], and it should have been at least partly functional in 2002 when Phoenix 0.1 (the predecessor to Firebird and Firefox) was released. In 2004, Firebird just got renamed to Fire

Joking aside, you could clearly plot the probability of running into a runtime error by programming language. Of course, a language with less runtime errors is a far cry from being a panacea. Avoiding runtime errors is not the same as avoid

This is equivalent to asking "Why the heck are you writing code with bugs?" Sure, if we could write code without bugs, we wouldn't need to suppress panics. But since we do tend to write code bugs and some of them are bugs tha

The original vault format seems pretty badly designed (unencrypted URLs, low-ish number of rounds even for the time, and of course ECB). With this shoddy design, it's hard to expect the developer to be smart enough to add an intermedia

UUID also suffers from a serious issue: there is no standard way to encode them as string and in binary format. In binary, UUID can be encoded as Big Endian or Little Endian or even Mixed Endian, and while the string encoding is usually l

The part that was last touched in 2019 is the spec + homepage. By this measure, UUID was last touched in 2005 (if we count RFC 4122). Most ULID implementations are still actively maintained and people are still using it in production. Most

I haven't used Pleco that much, so I wonder what you're referring to. Is that: 1. The dictionary app (excluding the dictionary). 2. The built-in (free) dictionaries (PLC and CC-CEDICT). 3. The paid add-on dictionaries. 4. The add-

No, that's exactly the opposite of what it does. The article above explicitly criticizes gin for not returning a value. Echo is closer to the pattern described above, but: 1. Echo lets you return an error response, but doesn't let

Well, before Go 1.13 came out, every decent production codebase in Go had to import Dave Cheney's pkg/errors[1] unless you totally gave up the idea of having useful error traces. Go 1.13 has incorporated most of what this package
