You can take that way if you want. But you aren't doing it justice if you just view it as purely cynical deliberate manipulation rather than a true effort at enhancing the reader's understanding. Essentially they offer a framework

Just remember, the mininum billing increment for file size is 128KB in real AWS S3. So your Git repo may be a lot more expensive than you would think if you have a giant source tree full of small files.

Knowing someone with a brain injury, something that is hugely apparent is how much we take for granted "sequencing" - that is, the ability for the brain to hold a sequence of events, ideas or actions in a coherent order over a per

Life is way too short to spend it worrying about what other people think about this type of thing. Reality is, they almost never care and are far more concerned about their own problems than whether someone else looks like a dork.

It would be OK if browsers treated self-signed certificates a little better. There are lots of contexts where a self-signed, long or non-expiring certificate makes perfect sense. But browsers and security stacks in general react as if the w

It may be an interesting side effect that people stop so gratuitously inventing random new software languages and frameowrks because the LLMs don't know about it. I know I'm already leaning towards tech that the LLM can work wel

My take in a nutshell: when raw performance and micro-optimisation are the core value proposition, portability and alternative equivalent technologies stop being viable competitive levers. There is just too much sunk into micro-optimisation

Take the simple example of joining via foreign key to another table in a parent child relationship. SQL makes you redundantly specify the other table even though it is fully defined by the foreign key relationship. Purists will say "w

I think it'd be a moot point if SQL wasn't painful and awkward to work with in the first place. But database purists control it and won't let go, so we will have to live with everyone else inventing layers to make their lives

The latest ones do have solutions for that (head locked vs space locked displays). This also was one of my requirements, but now I'm actively considering them. The main thing holding me back now is that the tech is improving so rapidly
