Zip files are an example of something that works, are used extensively, and have a number of weird design decisions. Some of this just history, other not so much. But good luck replacing them for customers or friends.…
Defer is easier to fit into TS/JS as GC isn’t observable ( it kinda is with FinalisationRegistry but with a huge list of gotchas ). Defer only cares if the variable leaves scope. At the end they mention the new “using”…
Oh cool I was working on something similar awhile back and couldn’t find much precedent. The project got retired as our use case went away. But I’d love to revisit it. It’s still on npm as “data-rambler”. Idea was a DSL…
There are also some cases where this can be magnified by certain write patterns or system behaviours. I think there was a case of Teslas having these sorts of failures at one point due to them writing logs quite…
Interesting, I experimented a bit with this when my daughter was younger. I used to walk around the room with her in my arms singing to get her to sleep. To ensure she would be settled I would then count 300 steps…
Yeah it wasn’t until I started pushing my daughter around in a pram that I started appreciating them. Crossing a road without them is a chore. I saw a sibling comment mentioning about the drop curbs making the path…
Mmm so there’s 2 trade offs as far as I can see if you used a folder which both the user and app can access. Firstly if an app does want a space that’s filesystem shape but does not want users/apps to have access for…
Both sides are valid. Is it a security risk? In the right conditions yes. But on the other side of it there’s user consent, limited per domain access, and the capability to do multi file editor style apps. I think the…
Arcane Scholar: a local first application for all your TTRPG needs. Create and manage characters, classes, spells, and more. Then package them up to share with your table. In the style of Sauron I’m channeling all my…
As other people have said the community is divided. I try not to be too negative about AI frankly because a lot of people I know are excited about it and are using it. But it’s safe to say I have strong feelings. For me…
Strangely enough kids did fine before social media, and I would say as an adult I also do fine without it. Concerns about age gating etc are true but as we’re already experiencing that nonsense without social media bans…
Fun thing about random is that these things happen. UUIDv7 is less prone to this as it includes both a time component and random. I’ve been using ULID in a few project which has similar attributes to uuidv7 but more…
Having lived through the changes from callback hell, early promises and then async/await I only ever found each step an improvement and the negatives are very minor when actually working with them. Now function…
Near to me they are planning a new data centre. As part of the proposal they have included a solar power plant, and running coolant from the data centre to houses in the village for heating. This then relies on a heat…
Push push push. When your customers are livid at you take a small step back. Wait for a moment then come back at them from another angle. I hate this philosophy. But it’s seems to be the preferred path for Microsoft.
I have quite a few sets of dice for D&D, nearly all of which favour aesthetics over balance. But saying that I prefer to use simpler plastic with rounded edges at a table. Sharp edge dice stop very abruptly and tend to…
I feel both great and awful about this. For over a decade I’ve said that nearly anyone that uses a computer could benefit from some programming understanding. A little bit can go a long way to solving problems like…
As I understand it they discovered a long chain molecule which was highly inert and wouldn’t stick to anything. Which was a useful feature but you know makes it hard to attach to anything. So they created a similar…
All valid points, but I don’t miss having a tangle of wire in my pocket or that wire failing after a couple of months meaning I have to get a new set of headphones.
We used reusable nappies for our daughter and introduced the potty very early. The reduction in waste is many times larger than you expect particularly with a very young child ( we started with disposable, but switched…
A languages syntax and its error messages are its user interface. Yes you can have a good tool that you don’t enjoy looking at. You can also have a good tool that’s frustrating to learn because its user interface isn’t…
Very interesting article, but the website is a mess. Kept reloading and crashing on my iPhone. Gave up in the end. Probably the excessive amount of ads.
I looked into this and the issue is the inbuilt SecurityAgent briefly taking focus. For me I believe it’s related to some management setting our company has added not getting on with Tahoe.
I recall standing in CEX one day perusing the cabinet of random electronics ( as you do ) and wondering why the Intel CPUs were so cheap compared to the AMD ones. I eventually concluded that the cross generation…
Assuming that the lines on the road are in good condition or even exist. Uneven roads, potholes, and corners/junctions with no signage can all be a challenge is poor conditions with old style headlights ( our 2 cars…
