People do still use indexes and the basic FK/UQ constraints because they're add value even when using ORM mappers,etc. I don't think that the ideas of changing databases are that prevalent any more (apart from perhaps unit-te

That's what we should hope projects like Ubicloud can provide, a way for the mid-tier providers that would've done PHP-hosting 10-15 years ago to have a competitive and _portable_ service offering.

opaque apart from that you should verify that the JWT token is issued by a trusted party and fulfills claims that your service requires? :P (Unless those parts are handled by a library you've configured to check this).

It's a matter of perspective, when I started out it was news when 10mb demos was allowed and it's just continued from that point until they said screw sizelimits. My main point is that 64kb more or less doesn't restrict you i

With 4k most people use pre-made startup (crinkler, win32 minimal window, glSetup, audio often 4klang) and without the audio you are at something like 300-900 bytes(was a while ago since i last fiddled), then add the music (1kb-2kb or so) a

Teens addicted to only instant gratification were never the ones to produce really good stuff in the demoscene anyhow, they will put countless hours into other arenas. Also back in the mid 1990s maybe the demoscene _was_ instant gratificati

I don't think that the time investment (per-se) is the biggest issue for the demoscene, 64k is the most time consuming category in many ways but also becoming a niche _again_ today. It'd be easy to write an essay on it, but pirate

Actually a bunch of people that do still like them... it's just that we don't have the infinite time we had at our disposal in our teens that makes us not ever be finished :P

Turkey has had the same kind of semantics about getting things done but that recent earthquake did prove fatal though, except in one town where they didn't allow shoddy construction. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/wo

It wasn't too difficult to build RBMK-1000's in the Soviet either, it was far more difficult to clean up the results though. I think it'd be immensely interesting to hear of the differences in the EPR reactors built in China

It seems like less well researched hunches on nuclear processes often led programs astray with bad calculations. The Germans focused on heavy water for their reactors instead of just using graphite, because they miscalculated neutron absorp

Most of the stalwarts you mention had been built to depend on more or less huge systems where the webserver/appserver was in a central postion (Apache, J2EE or IIS), node had a certain minimalness combined with client/server code

Yes and no, with the 8bits and probably 16bits like the C64, NES, etc you really want cycle accuracy and emulating something like the PS2 really well would probably need a fair bit of accuracy. HOWEVER.. writing an recompiler (not feasible

Funny to see the FreddyV nick again, he made (according to my musician friend) the most accurate (at the time) XM-replayer for small demoscene productions. There was many replayers back in those days but tracking what FastTracker2 did bug-f

Before bindless became a thing (and it's not yet standard with for example WebGL) then doing extra render calls just to change active textures could be an quite expensive operation. Thus a texture atlas is useful to be able to batch a

Then it'd be very purposeful, the idea of this kind of patch would be that someone Googling random older PG answers to fix a random issue wouldn't be tempted to just issue an ALTER command, think the issue is fixed and then find o

Googling power draw the 4090 goes up to 450w whilst the 2080ti was at 250w, adjusting for power consumption the increase is somewhere around 32%. Some architectural gains and probably optimizations in chipset workings but we're not see

Annoyed reading this one the 2nd but also a tad fooled because I thought of this in the context of a nuclear-option remedy to the XZ fiasco that's still lingering in all our heads.

My feeling is that it's philosophically outside the purview of React whose focus is rendering (and components and their state but not global state), RxJS and and MobX are both usable with React and have signals whilst Redux goes anothe

I was annoyed at first and iirc my ex-GF cut the corners, once I realized the put-hands-inside-edges-of-inverted-cover-and-grab-the-duvet-corners-and-pull-through method I've mellowed on them since it goes fairly quickly.

It's a seriously cool way to solve problems, never used it but discovered that the winner of one of the Advent of Code days in 22 or 23 basically just set up equations with SymPy and let it solve everything beating out the usual cadre
