This was my original take when I learned the language, but I later realised “errors as values” is one of the strengths of the language. I have run both Go and Python backends in production for years. There is an entire class of bugs present

I’m fed up of Americans telling me London is full of knife crime when the stats say that it is much worse in the USA. The situation is even improving, UK homicide rates are at the lowest level in 50 years [1]. Not to mention that the USA ha

I use GCP, but it also has the idea of a metadata server. When you use a Google Cloud library in your server code like PubSub or Firestore or GCS or BigQuery, it is automatically authenticated as the service account you assigned to that VM

What’s it like to work on the frontier of AI model creation? What do you do in your typical day? I’ve been really enjoying using frontier LLMs in my work, but really have no idea what goes into making one.

I also have to run Defender on my MacBook at work. If you have access to the Defender settings, I found it to be much better after setting an exclusion for the folder that you clone your git repositories to. You can also set exclusions for

There are two solutions GitHub Actions people will tell you about. Both are fundamentally flawed because GitHub Actions Has a Package Manager, and It Might Be the Worst [1]. One thing people will say is to pin the commit SHA, so don't

London has loads of exceptional museums that are completely free. If you ever have the chance to visit the city, do try to take advantage!

I prefer “—really-do”, so the default behaviour of the tool is to do nothing. That’s more fault tolerant for the scenario you forget to add “—dry-run”.

Do those same banks have websites that you can access from a computer with root access? Most likely, yes.

I agree with the CEO, while also feeling a bit nauseous at the MAGA Musk suck-up at the end - I suppose this is the game you have to play with this current administration.

It would be nice. Our security team started complaining that we serve a 301 redirect on port 80 for our website (just like 99.9% of websites do... sigh) and wanted port 80 shut down. To appease them, I switched the redirect off in dev/

In my home media setup (LG UQ81 TV, WiiM Amp via ARC, Xbox Series X, Chromecast with Google TV), the CEC setup _almost_ works perfectly. * I can use the LG TV’s remote alone to control everything including the Chromecast and amp’s volume co

The cost of being brainwashed by ads and sponsor slots is also high. Even with YouTube Premium you don’t get the feature set you get with SmartTube. The sponsor block integration on my TV is brilliant.

A few years ago, I’d install all iOS major updates practically as soon as they came out. Nowadays I feel that the quality of iOS has slipped, so will wait for 26.1 first.

Thanks for the pleasant reply! I thought I was not using the CDN as I had self-hosted the static sources, but some image sources seemed to be imported from the CDN in stylesheets in the version of data tables I linked. I just updated my app
