It's too easy to cheat at Wordle, even if you don't know what html/javascript is. Just open a new browser, solve it there, and enter the solution in your main browser. In the age of intrusive anti-cheat software and byzantine

There's not enough data in the practice of software engineering. A lot of software engineering "best practices" aren't backed by any kind of evidence.

Plumbers here in Australia are licensed, so if your definition of "engineering" includes being certified by a regulatory body, then plumbers are closer to "real engineering" than software engineers. (FWIW, I don't s

Well they're only talking about the things they enjoy about Postgres. I kid, I kid, but yeah it feels like there's some room for improvement when it comes to the infrastructure side of working with Postgres

My swift is pretty rusty now, but I'm fairly sure you don't need to construct an http request by hand (which is what the example code is doing), even if you're limited to only using Foundation classes

You'd want to look for technologies that were used 20 years ago, that we're still using today. Chances are high that they'll survive the next 20 years. Things like HTTP, JavaScript, C, C++, Python, Java are all still in regul

I found it interesting that Reddit supports ``` triple backtick-style code blocks ``` and `inline code`, but HN doesn't. This is particularly interesting because Reddit has less of a reason to support those than HN does. Code-related m

Of all the places in the world, I certainly did not expect Bangi to show up on this list! How does Bangi compare to living in, say, KL or PJ?

I don't find this particular argument compelling, because there are other languages (e.g. Python and Golang) that have managed to make their way into the mainstream despite facing the same "we only use Java" challenge that hu

It really depends on the workload here. It is possible that there's a large CPU-bound workload (e.g. a join-heavy sql query) that would throw these numbers off. But yeah, these numbers are pretty bad for a simple templating job in Djan
