Everything twitter bought in it killed off and everything its tried to do since the first offering has failed, they even managed to make a poor job of rolling out their new Web client. I admire twitters engineering, they provided lots of ex

We think charging a separate fee for our Billing product is fair, given comparable products in the market (say, Recurly or Chargebee) charge something similar. Copying what other people in the market are doing is the antithesis of what ma

Haskell, Rust and Go are the big 3 for name dropping at the moment. Those come after being vegan but before crossfit in 'what I do is a personality' bingo.

For me GraphQL is the epitome (in the Web tier) of 'we need to solve the same problems as FAANG does'. You'll likely never be in a situation where over-querying via a non-granular REST call will ever be an issue worth optimis

Tech debt is a luxury that only a measure of success affords. If you work in entprise and find bad code that's just plain old vanilla bad engineering and we should carve that out of the definition. If you work in early stage or barely

You've fallen for the rhetoric that us consumers have meaningful impact on global warming.

It's more the clear mismanagement of their finances on ill-considered products outside of their core offering that never go anywhere. Some of them appear to be nothing more than vanity projects that subsequently disappear having got no

It's not worth playing cat and mouse with scrapers, it'll always be relatively trivial to solve compared to the engineering effort to come up with a new strategy, and that's with brute force scraping which is a fair way behin

It's also possible that we try to hard to generalise things and for a handful of lines of code it's just as valid to provide different implementations for each rather than spending time evaluating an abstraction that's as lik

Optimising at that granularity is also utterly at odds with everything that webdev has been doing for decades now. It's a micro optimisation that won't even register for your users, especially if you're reducing latency on 2m

Maybe a static site engine shouldn't be solving any 'dynamic problem' That has a strong smell of losing focus on your core principles and obsessing over adoption stats at any cost

In a healthy housing market like the one I own a rental property in, long-term rental is a margin business while you have mortgage and taking to account wear and tear etc and encourages properties being kept in family friendly sizes and yea

Scala is perfect for just delivering, myself and my business partner have been using it to rapidly prototype and build for a decade now. You just avoid all the stuff that tries to make scala into haskell and use it as the hybrid OO/fun

At millions of reqs per second the thin contract of the internals of http request/response will never be the layer that will have any fruit left to pick to make gains.

You can as easily blame the previous generations of sex toy sellers for their shady practices as you can banks for responding to it by separating those industries for special treatment. Higher processing fees or outright blocking is just a

This is a logic flaw I see everywhere. Making a proposition for what might have been there is not a useful scientific instrument. And especially not when unseen anomalies are an integral part of pushing your field forward. If you're in

I think it also possibly shows that in general we've not learned to be able to tune out or self filter the information overload that's thrown at us via the Internet.

No, it's putting your point 'worth' on the same trajectory as the relevance of your code comment ie heading towards zero. There's more than a semantic difference between the two

I'd probably just look at putting in a point value degradation over time mechanic, so a point x years ago is only worth a fraction of a point now

There no one to support here. If Epic was to force some kind of change here, expect Epic Pay in every Unreal game whi h may have benefits in the short term but how long does that ever last?

Epic wants to ship 'Epic Payments' as a built in and trivial to enable feature in every Unreal built game which I'm sure would give a much higher cut to devs which in turn would drive higher and higher %s of devs for IOS to t

They are clearly limiting their commentary to personal experience, something I can't believe you're trying to spin into being controversial.

'probably better compression' is an understatement. As ever the answer is no one way is so superior in every circumstance that the other should be dismissed outright. Defining your overall base and then only specifying the 'd
