When it comes to self hosting, Jellyfin is really not a Spotify replacement. There are better, more purpose driven application. A good example is Navidrome. It is a less featureful Spotify clone but it has more…
I think of a "CRUD application" as, hopefully, a thin wrapper around simple database transactions with a web front end. They're mind numbing to work on with most tasks boiling down to "add column to database and update…
I always advocate for people to learn 6502 because it's easy and small. Not because they are going to write assembly but because they should have a basic idea of what their code is going to turn into. It doesn't matter…
In C# you can do a collection of Task<T>, start them and then do a Task.WaitAll() on the collection. For example a batch of web requests at the same time and then collect the results once everything is done. I'm not…
It's the unintended consequences of good intentions. The belief is that the criminal justice system has been historically racist against certain minority groups. Once you've been to prison, it becomes dramatically…
I prefer to think of it as the Uber/AirBnB model. Just do illegal things so much that you clog the enforcement mechanisms. Then it becomes such an unreasonable burden that they change the laws in your favor.
Everyone is cutting back on marketing. Scams are always buying and make their most money during hard times.
Maybe it's not a good idea to put your employer's source code out onto some random website. If you wouldn't put it on here, you probably shouldn't put it on ChatGPT. I'm sure it's only a matter of time there will be a…
Didn't someone write a patch the day it came out that stripped out all the phoning home in single player and the game played perfectly ok in single player. I seem to remember it being a large embarrassment to EA at the…
I wonder how many of Comixology's issues also track the downfall of the American Comicbook Industry. Marvel, DC and other American Comicbook companies aren't exactly setting the world on fire with their sales. There…
They already have. My career started making websites that are now made in Wordpress. Look at Salesforce and Sharepoint.
We use it in production with no big complains. I'm a Dapper man myself but EF Core works fine with Postgres. Just add Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL to your project, generate a migration script and add a Postgres…
I had a pre-2015 macbook for a while and I can honestly say that I've never had a worse keyboard. It hurt my fingers and it felt like Apple was trying to destroy my hands. A cheap $10 keyboard felt better.
Who's going to host all the decentralized censorship free videos without ads? Where does my 70 year old mother go to send me a crypto-blockchain message?
You can sue them, you just won't win if it goes to trial. But most lawsuits don't end in a courtroom. It's sometimes cheaper to pay off a lawsuit you'd win in court than to go through the process.
I love doom scrolling as much as the next guy, just make sure to get some mind bleach. Find a nice fiction podcast or take up electronics. Both sides will consume your mental health if your not careful.
Go up a level. You want "Headphones" not "Headphones + Headsets".
I've seen that applied to long running legacy projects. This is how they did things back in 2008. Here someone discovered an orm library. Now here, they started to try to introduce some microservice event driven…
If you want to be extra cynical, think of it as an asset auction listing as part of a liquidation.
You could LogStash your logs into ElasticSearch and then view them with Kibana. The ole ELK stack.
