Spotify makes me so, so sad. I say this as a premium customer since 2015. They push out a mobile app update every week with either no changes, or changes to things I don't care about. They removed push-to-preview. They refuse to add cu

At my current company we deploy sqlite as the primary and only database for our server. Our use case is a little less impressive than your usual webscale startups though. Our product is a self-hosted IoT & hub unit solution, so we have

What is the recommended way to not code like this? I always take care to not trust raw user input, and add rate limiting and request size limits. I'm sure there is more I can be doing, but this is not my area of expertise.

This is an interesting dilemma I've seen on multiple occasions and resulting in almost the exact same position. Many people who work in defense industries, plenty of my former colleagues among them, choose to go into medical tech and o

If i understand the common critique from the comments here it's that GET with a body, while not bad on its face, is nevertheless discouraged because you're gambling with any number of intermediate systems that may strip the body f

I disagree. The Surface line, which came out in 2012 and has been continuously refined each year after, are some really beautiful, inventive, and highly technical pieces of hardware. The hinge on the Surface Book especially generated a bit

It is precisely because Google Voice is a Google property that I, as an expat, have taken great effort to keep my US phone number with my US carrier. Trusting Google with such an absolutely critical aspect of one's life is lunacy.
