One thing that annoys me and I was hoping to find in the article is layout shifts as you are trying to read the page. You see it a lot on low-quality news sites where you start reading then an ad appears pushing content down the page forcin

They have a huge training set that is composed of two types of data. The first set of data is the raw data of text from the internet. The second set of data is questions and answers that it should learn from. That second set can have a prom

Process isolation affects so many things in C. The strategy change is going to require changes to so many modules that it will either be a re-write or buggy. In practical terms, if every line needs to be audited and updated, it is a re-writ

It's true, but for any serious project, you set up tool chains for utilizing those files in pipelines for local servers, commit hooks, and build steps. Things like linters, unit tests, and rules-based code standards would also be inclu

Flex was added in 2009, but it had bugs as late as 2017. It is one of the problems with adding features as fast as they are. There is no point in having features if they don't work or are broadly supported

Nobody will ever agree on an alternative. And, none of the attempted alternatives have ever taken off because the velocity of javascript's incrementalism is far greater than the velocity of any new shiny thing. JS has the weight of the

He has been saying this for a decade. I had to double check the dates to see if it was even relevant. A problem is that the 3 problems that the articles highlights have been fixed with incremental fixes. Performance with V8. Object lifecycl

I was surprised that they went for database partitioning first. Caching and optimization weren't mentioned at all, but I guess they already maxed out that path

I think JOOQ isn't a proper ORM, but it is splitting hairs on the definition. It calls itself an OOQ (object oriented querying) ORMs become an antipattern when they try to abstract away the database completely by masking write operatio
