For apps that run exclusively on brand new iPhone pro max's, sure. ...but seeing as that isn't the case.

I think $5 is _beyond_ fair, considering every user will have dropped >$3k on hardware.

I'm in the same situation as you (or was, until about a week ago). I'd been looking for a new contract for a couple of months and also had lots of enthusiastic calls with recruiters, only to be ghosted or hear nothing more. A coup

I was hoping/expecting it would flag descriptions that don't mention a salary range, location or worthless perks. Maybe I'm jaded.

I (sadly) don't play any mobile games for this reason. _Every_ game seems to revolve around engineering you to buy to speed up progress. It's just one step worse (maybe two) than everything being a subscription. I prefer buying ga

Love the story. My first exposure to programming was through automating RSC. All I was doing though was writing scripts for SCAR. I think maybe in… pascal? I remember trying to learn some Java at the time, but could never make the leap betw

That’s a reputation PHP has been struggling to shake for a long time now, but it isn’t the case as of the more modern versions.

I have a 16" 2021 Macbook Pro M1. 1. It's great. I'm not sure I've ever heard the fans spin up. I've had very occasional glitches with sound when switching workspaces. 2. The only thing that's been a blocker fo

I don’t think the demise of classic forums/self-hosted communities is a technical problem. There is no shortage of modern communities - as you say, Discourse is one of the most popular. Otherwise there’s NodeBB, Flarum, etc - and vBull

I think they’re saying only backing up _data_ is not enough (S3, GCS). You need to be able to roll out infrastructure elsewhere to, in order to have somewhere to restore said data.

Exactly that.

It's not a stupid question at all. They will most likely be rendering the page in full server-side. This is how things were done in the beginning, but also what a lot of websites are returning to, for performance reasons.

Right on the home page... > How this s** works: Modern fonts can combine letters into a single ligature, usually for things like fi or fl but you can pick anything so we’ve done it for swears.

I wouldn't say totally irrelevant. I've worked on many line-of-business applications and websites where the database is the bottleneck. People love to obsess over "what language?", happily ignoring the fact database acce

Sure you can. Look into 'load testing'.

YNAB. I've used it for a few years (since YNAB 4). The automated import and categorization of transactions, combined with envelope budgeting is all I need. About as frictionless as it can realistically get, for my use case.

I stumbled across this library a few months ago and also really liked the approach. Unfortunately I had to drop it temporarily due to this issue ( https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc/pull/983 )... which I now se

If they're going to make the leap of switching the render layer, I'm surprised the leap isn't to flutter (which is supposedly stable/ready for production web apps?).

I've enjoyed using https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc on a couple of projects. Give it your schema and queries, get type-safe interfaces in return. It's a happy medium for me between all-in ORM and raw SQL.

From my experience, I definitely learn the most by doing, not watching, reading or listening. As long as you know enough to get started on <project>, then you can just look things up as you get stuck. There is an element of "you

A lot of the replies and analogies here are interpreting this as a business-consumer apology. Of course if a business has disrupted a customer's experience through buggy software they should issue post-mortem/apologies/etc. B

Sounds nice in theory, but won't you always be playing catch-up? Or will development(/bugfixes) halt on the existing python version? Would it ever be acceptable to the business to commence such a rewrite without any show of value

I've launched and grown/run a few forums over the years and the key for me was to always seed it with as much quality content as possible. Fake it until you make it. I believe reddit did the same.

Oh, I don't think anything is missing. Just seems like the perfect case of a product/tool you would be able to "dogfood". Good work!

I'm curious, is there a featmap for featmap? :)
